Overview

Rolesville is a town in Wake County that follows a council-manager form of government. A board of commissioners made up of five commissioners and a mayor is in charge of running the town. Members of the board serve four-year terms and are elected by residents of Rolesville in staggered elections. In addition to their other administrative duties, the board of commissioners is in charge of appointing the Town Manager.

The board of commissioners meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm for regular meetings and on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:00 pm for work sessions. All meetings are held in the Rolesville Town Hall (502 Southtown Cir). Agendas for all meetings are posted on the Friday before a meeting. Citizens are encouraged to participate in public meetings through public comments, where citizens will be called to speak at meetings. To sign up to speak, arrive at Town Hall a few minutes before the meeting begins and sign your name on the speakers' list with the Town Clerk.

Rolesville has multiple boards and commissions that residents can apply to serve on. These include the Board of Adjustment, Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, and Planning Board. Members of boards and commissions are appointed by the board of commissioners, and applications are found on each individual board and commission page.
