Cremello Arab Cross

Zebulon follows the council-manager government form, where the elected governing body is responsible for legislative functions such as establishing policy, passing local ordinances, and developing an overall vision. The council then appoints a professional town manager, who is responsible for overseeing administrative operations, implementing policies and advising the council. Zebulon is governed by a six-member Board of Commissioners, which is made up of five commissioners and the mayor. Three of the members are elected in one year and the two remaining members and the mayor are elected two years later. The mayor, as the principal elected official of the town, provides leadership to the governing body and the community, and presides over board meetings.
