The Fairfax Town Council meets the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Women's Club on Park Road. The Town Council consists of five representatives elected at large by the citizens of Fairfax. It is headed by the Mayor of Fairfax, Lew Tremaine.
The Town Council is the policy making legislative body of Fairfax and is ultimately responsible to the community for the implementation of all programs and services provided by the Town. The Council reviews proposals to meet community needs, initiates action for new programs, and determines the ability of the Town to provide financing for various activities. The Council appoints the Town Manager and the Town Attorney and ratifies the appointment of Department Heads. Appointments are made to Commissions, Boards and Advisory Committees. The Council acts to influence local, regional and state policies favorable to the Town through various organizations and action groups.
