Government
On August 6, 2020, the Town of Nolensville changed from a Mayor-Aldermanic Charter to a Town Manager-Commissioner Charter. This form of government exists today with the five Commissioners being elected by the citizens at large. The Town Commissioners appoint the Mayor and Vice Mayor for two-year terms.
The Board of Commissioners (BOC) is the governing body of the Town with the Town Manager having responsibility for the management of the Town staff. Ordinances that change the Town’s zoning, budgets, taxes, contracts and other items of this nature require two votes of the BOC. Some ordinances require a public hearing between the votes. Resolutions such as support of events, individuals, etc. require a single vote by the Board.
The BOC is supported by the Town’s Advisory Commissions, Boards and Committees who evaluate the matters before them and either provide decisions on the matter or recommendations to the body that can make the decision. To be appointed to a Commission or Board, an individual must reside within the Town’s limits, while Committee members need only live within the area.
