The
Town Council is the executive and administrative body of Dune Acres.
It is composed of three Members, and a Clerk/Treasurer. They are
elected by a majority of registered voters to serve a four-year term
of office. For a historical list of town representatives, beginning in 1923, click here.
The Town Council normally meets the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM in the Town Hall at One East Road, to conduct the business of the Town. Changes to the normal scheduled date are announced in advance.
The Town Council selects one of its members to serve as President for a term as decided by the Town Council. When a vacancy occurs on the Town Council, the remaining members appoint a registered voter resident to fill the vacancy to the end of that term. The Clerk/Treasurer votes in case of a tie. Town Council members and Commissioners serve without pay.

The Clerk/Treasurer also issues identifying decals required for all residents' vehicles and boats, and licenses required for all dogs.
