Editor’s note:
The Charter was amended to provide for two (2) year terms instead of four (4) year terms by “An Ordinance Amending the Charter of the Town of Pinebluff Implementing a Two Year Term for the Members of the Town of Pinebluff Board of Commissioners” adopted on March 19, 1987 and subsequently agreed to by the State Legislature.
