Under our Charter, Braselton's Town Council is "vested with all the powers of government of this town..." Charter § 2.17 As Mayor, I am a member of the Town Council, and just like the other four (4) members, I am allowed one (1) vote on matters of policy, law and administration. We make decisions as a Council.
Braselton's Mayor presides at meetings and serves as the official spokesperson for the Town on matters of policy and ceremony. Charter § 2.29; Ordinance § 3-302.
Under our Council-Manager form of government, Braselton employs Jennifer Scott as Town Manager. Charter § 3.16; Ordinance § 3-401 et. seq. Our Town Manager works full-time for the Town while each member of the Town Council serves in a role much like a board member or oversight body.
For comments, concerns or opposition information that should be read by our entire Town Council, please email MayorCouncil@Braselton.net.
For individual connection, please reach out and get to know the Council-member for your district.
