Pacolet Town Council operates under the Council Form of Government and acts as the Town’s legislative branch and policy-making body. The council also looks to the Town’s goals, major projects, and infrastructure improvements ranging from community growth to land use to finances and strategic planning.
Town Council consists of 6 council members and the mayor. Individual council members serve four-year terms and are elected by residents of the districts in which they live and represent. The exception is the mayor, who is elected at large (by all residents) to serve a four-year term. The Town Council appoints a Town Administrator to run the Town’s day-to-day operations.
The mayor presides over Town Council meetings, represents the Town at ceremonial events, and signs documents on behalf of the Town Council. In addition, the Town Council elects one of its members to serve as mayor pro tempore for a two-year term. The mayor pro tempore acts as the mayor in the mayor’s absence.
