The Town of Oakland, pursuant to its Charter, follows a Commission-Manager form of government.

 

Residents are served by five non-partisan elected officials.  The Mayor and Commissioners serve for three-year

overlapping terms. These elected officials appoint the City Manager who is tasked with overseeing all

administrative duties and the daily business operations of the Town.

 

The Commission legislatively establishes policies in the form of ordinances, resolutions or motions,

which determine the laws, proceedings, budget and service levels for the Town.

 

The Mayor presides at all City Commission meetings, which are held on the 2nd and fourth Tuesday of the month

at 7:00 pm in the Town Meeting Hall at 221 North Arrington Street.

 

The Commission is also appoints members to a number of boards and committees which provide assistance.

Most meet once a month and only require a few hour of a volunteer's time.

Board and committee meetings are open to the public.  Town Boards
