Mayor & Aldermen

Council/Manager Form of Government

The Town of North Topsail Beach has a Council/Manager form of government. ICMA (International City Manager’s Association) defines this form of government as residents electing a governing body— including a chief elected official, such as a mayor or board chairperson—to adopt legislation and set policy. The governing body then hires a manager or administrator with broad executive authority to carry out those policies and oversee the local government’s day-to-day operations. The council, or Board of Aldermen, is made up of 6 members, 5 aldermen, and a mayor. The Mayor is elected every 2 years. Aldermen serve 4 year terms.

Monthly Meetings

The Board of Aldermen meet the 1st Wednesday of each month at 11:00 a.m, with the exception of January where the meeting will be held on January 8th, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. due to the New Year Holiday. The Board will hear general public comment near the beginning and end of each regular meeting during the public forums.

Board of Aldermen meetings are live streamed via YouTube and the recordings are posted to the Town’s website at www.northtopsailbeachnc.gov/meetings shortly after the meetings for viewing.
