The Town of Lincoln has a council-manager form of government and acts as the general legislative body of the municipality by representing all Lincoln residents. The Town Council is a seven member board consisting of a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and five Councilors. The councilors’ duties and responsibilities are governed by the Town Charter. Members of the Town Council are elected each November and serve for three years. Terms are staggered so that no more than three Councilors are elected during a regular election.

Town Council meetings are typically held the second Monday of each month at 7:00 pm. Special meetings may be held at other times with proper notice. If you would like to submit an agenda item for a Town Council meeting, submissions are due to the Town Clerk two weeks prior to the meeting. 

During Town Council meetings, Lincoln residents and/or taxpayers are encouraged to speak during the public forum portion of the meeting.  The Council can agree to hear from a person who is not a Lincoln resident or taxpayer on limited occasions if doing so will advance Council efforts.

All council meetings are open to the public.  They are also streamed via Zoom and Youtube.

The Lincoln Town Council invites Lincoln residents and taxpayers to a monthly work session, to be held on the Wednesday the week after the regular monthly council meeting from 6pm to 8pm, for the purpose of an informal chat with one or all seven council members as they may choose to participate.

The town council meeting and monthly work session dates for 2026 are below
