Pittsboro Board of Commissioners meeting information
[Apr. 10, 2005] Pittsboro has the Commissioner-Manager form of local government. Policy is set by the Mayor and Board of Commissioners who are elected by the people. The policy is implemented by the Town Manager, who is appointed by the Commissioners. The Commissioners decide what is to be done. The Town Manager operating through the entire Town staff does it. This separation of policy-making and policy administration is considered the most economical and efficient form of Town government.
