About the Council
The Attleboro Municipal Council is the city’s legislative body. It has 11 members — five elected at-large by the whole city and six elected from individual wards — each serving a two-year term. The Council adopts city ordinances, approves the mayor’s budget (and can amend or reduce it), confirms certain appointments, and can override a mayoral veto with a supermajority.
- Adopts the budget and ordinances that govern spending, zoning, and city policy.
- Holds public hearings on the budget, ordinances, and major proposals.
- Each councilor chairs one committee and serves on two others, where much of the detailed work happens.
Council Members
Todd Kobus (Ward 3) serves as Council President and Laura Dolan (Ward 5) as Vice-President. City Clerk Kate Jackson serves as clerk of the Council.
