Government
Town Organization
South Windsor is organized under the Council-Manager form of government. A nine-member, bipartisan Town Council is elected at large biennially for a two-year term and functions as the primary legislative body. Town statute which mandates that no single political party may hold more than six seats on any sitting Council assures minority representation among the Council membership. The Town Council elects a Mayor and Deputy Mayor from its membership for two-year terms to serve as the Town’s chief elected officials.
The Council, in turn, appoints the Town manager for an indefinite term to serve as the Chief Administrative officer and the pleasure of the Town Council.
