Mayor and Town Council
Washington Grove is governed by a Council of citizens consisting of six elected Councilors and a Mayor. The names of, and contact information for, the current Mayor and Councilors are available in the “Mayor and Town Council; Areas of Responsibility” drop-down menu on the home page. Elections are held yearly in May, with two councilor positions rotating for election each year. Council meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. on the second Monday of every month.
Each Councilor is liaison to (typically) two Town Committees, with responsibilities to attend meetings of those committees and report back on their activities. Individual Councilors are also responsible for administration of contracts for road maintenance, trash and recycling pickup, tree maintenance, and other ongoing upkeep efforts.
