Elected Officials

The Town of Pikeville has a council-manager form of government comprised of five Commissioners, all of whom are elected at-large, and a mayor who presides over meetings but votes only in the event of a tie. Commissioners serve staggered four-year terms with either three commissioners or two commissioners and the mayor elected at the general election in each odd-numbered year; they are sworn in during the first meeting in December. There are no term limits for commissioners nor for the mayor.

Regular Commission meetings are held the second Monday of every month at 6:00pm in the Pikeville Town Hall. Occasional special meetings are scheduled as called.

The Commission also makes appointments as needed to the Pikeville Planning Board, whose members serve staggered four-year terms; this Board is comprised of four town residents and a representative of our ETJ (Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction). The Board also appoints representatives to the Regional Planning Organization (RPO), the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and the Electricities Board of Directors.
