Mayor & City Council

 

Officially incorporated in 1849, the Wilson City Council consists of a Mayor and seven City Council members.  City Council members are elected from voters in seven districts while the mayor is elected at-large (city wide).  The mayor serves as the presiding officer at City Council meetings and as the official head of the City for ceremonial purposes.  A Mayor Pro-Tempore is selected by the Council from its members.  The mayor votes only when there is a tie vote and serves as the spokesperson for the Council and is authorized to execute legal documents on behalf of the City.
