About Severance Government

The Town Council operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The Mayor is elected to serve a four-year term and voters elect six trustee members to overlapping four-year terms.  

Work Sessions are held before each of the Council meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month which start at 6:00 p.m. with the regularly scheduled meeting immediately following the Work Session or by 7:00 p.m. whichever is earlier.
