The Governing Body for the Town of Spring Lake consists of a Mayor and five Commissioners who are elected at large in non-partisan elections held every four years, beginning the 2025 elections.
The Mayor has the responsibility of presiding at the meetings and acting as the chief elected official of the Town, but does not vote on matters that are placed before the Board, except in situations that result in a tie vote.
It is the responsibility of the Board of Commissioners to deliberate and adopt policies designed to govern the delivery of municipal services throughout the Town.
It is the members of this Board that are held directly responsible and accountable to the electorate of the community for ensuring that the Town responds to public needs and addresses those needs in the most efficient manner possible.
