VILLAGE COUNCIL

The Governing Body of the Village of Pinehurst consists of a five-member council that includes a directly elected Mayor. Elections are held in odd years, with two council members elected to four (4) year terms in one cycle, while the mayor and the other two council members are elected in the next cycle. Persons interested in running for a seat on the Village Council should consult the Moore County Board of Elections.

The Council provides overall policy guidance for all municipal operations. To affect this, the Council considers and adopts local ordinances and resolutions to provide for the health, safety and overall quality of life for the citizens of Pinehurst. The Council determines the level of service the Village will provide to its citizens. The governing body of the Village makes appointments to various volunteer boards and commissions that act in an advisory and quasi-judicial role for the Village. The Council also selects and contracts with the Village Manager and Village Attorney for services. All Council actions are made with the primary goals of preservation of the quiet, tranquil and unusually attractive village atmosphere and retaining and enhancing the quality of life for its present and future residents and their visitors.

George Lane, Mayor
