The La Grange Town Council

The Town of La Grange operates under the Council-Manager form of government, which means that the Town Manager serves as the Town’s chief executive officer and is charged with the responsibility to carry out the policies and directives as determined by the Town Council in administering the affairs of the Town of La Grange.

The Town Council, or governing body of the Town, consists of the Mayor and six Council Members. At-large elections for the mayor and council members are held in November of odd numbered years. The mayor and council members are elected for a four-year term.

The Council operates as a governing body under authorities granted by North Carolina General Statutes and Town ordinances. In order for the Council to conduct a meeting, a quorum (or majority) of the actual membership of the Council must be present. Most issues require a simple majority vote in order to be approved, denied or adopted. The Mayor cannot vote on issues, except to break a tie vote.

The Town Council holds its regular meetings on the first Monday night of each month unless there is a conflict due to a holiday. At its December Regular Council Meeting, the Town Council sets its regular meeting schedule for the upcoming year. The Council’s regular meeting schedule is posted on the Town’s web site and at the Town Hall to ensure that the public is aware of the Councils regular meetings.
