Town of Clarksville, VA

Mayor & Town Council

Council-Manager form of Government

In Virginia, a town manager-run town operates under a council-manager form of government, where the elected town council hires a professional town manager to oversee daily operations. The Town Manager implements policies set by the council, manages municipal staff, and handles budgeting and planning to ensure efficient local governance. This system promotes a balance of political leadership from the council and professional administration by the manager, fostering accountability and effectiveness.

In a council-manager form of government, the Mayor typically serves as the ceremonial head of the town and presides over council meetings. The Mayor often acts as a representative for the town in official functions and focuses primarily on leadership and policy-making rather than day-to-day administration. Town Council members and the Mayor must be residents of Clarksville to serve.

The Town Council meets monthly on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm in the Town Council Chambers.
