Overview

Fuquay-Varina is a town in Wake County that follows a council-manager form of government. Fuquay-Varina is run by a Town Board, which consists of a mayor and five council members. The mayor is elected on a nonpartisan basis for a two-year term, and the council members are elected at-large, through staggered elections, for four-year terms. In addition to administrative duties, council members appoint the town manager, who then appoints town staff.

The Town Council convenes for meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 7:00 pm. These meetings are held in the John W. Byrne Municipal Building (134 N. Main Street, Fuquay-Varina, NC). Agendas are typically posted on the Friday before the scheduled meeting by 5:00 pm. Citizens are able to provide public comments at Town Council meetings by signing up with the town clerk before the meeting begins.

The town of Fuquay-Varina also has several citizen-run advisory boards and committees. When applications are submitted and reviewed, the mayor makes recommendations to the Town Council, who then appoints the members of the boards and committees.
