Structure and Meetings
The Town of Magnolia is governed by a Mayor and a five-member Board of Commissioners. Commissioners are elected to four-year staggered terms and the Mayor to a four-year term. Elections are conducted on a nonpartisan basis, and all seats are at-large. The Mayor Pro Tempore is elected from among the Board of Commissioners and conferred the powers and duties of the mayor in the case of the mayor’s absence.
Regular Meetings
Meetings of the Board of Commissioners are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm in the Conference Room of the Magnolia Town Hall (Magnolia Municipal Building), located at 110 E. Carroll Street. The public is given an opportunity to speak at every meeting for three minutes on any topic. A sign-up sheet is available at the entrance of the Conference Room for anyone who would like to address the Board. Notice of a recessed meeting will be posted on the Town website with details of when the Board will reconvene. Please see the calendar for the next meeting scheduled.
Special Meetings/Public Hearings
From time to time, the town may need to hold special meetings or public hearings to address time-sensitive matters, meet statutory notice requirements, or consider issues that arise between regularly scheduled meetings. Special meetings will be announced in advance on the town’s Facebook page and Public Hearings will be advertised publicly according to notice requirements.
Agendas and Minutes
Meeting minutes are maintained by the Town Clerk and available by request. Meetings are livestreamed on the Town’s Facebook page and posted as recordings.
