Elections are held every other year, and terms are staggered. Each year, in December, the councilmembers choose which of them will serve the following year as Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. The goals and policies set forth by the Council are carried out by the Town Manager, who administers the daily affairs of our Town and supervises the department heads.
Law enforcement is provided through a contract with Nevada County.
Candidates are urged to not wait until the filing deadline to allow ample time for the Clerk's Office to check the signatures. If there is a problem with the filing, there would still be time to circulate a new petition. Although State law prevents the Clerk's Office from giving you any legal advice, we are pleased to give you any general information you may need.
