The Council has been reviewing and discussing the original 1983 Charter for the Town of Weddington for several months with the goal to make sure as Weddington moves forward into the future, the charter continues to meet the needs of the community and residents of Weddington.

One area of consideration is the Form of Government. Weddington is currently a Mayor-Council form. The council is considering changing to a Council-Manager form of government. This does not change the number of town staff, it is merely reorganizing the current staff and staff responsibilities.
