Town council? edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I don't think this article makes it clear how a representative town meeting differs from a "town council". Does it differ? AJD (talk) 06:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Typically, representative town meeting differs from a town council:

It has a larger membership, often by a factor of 10.
Its presiding officer is the Moderator, who runs separately in the town election, while a town council usually elects its chair from among its members.
It meets much less often, a few times a year, as opposed to monthly or fortnightly.
