Town board officers in the Town of Buffalo are nominated as candidates for offices by the caucus system rather than circulating nomination papers. This takes place in odd numbered years and results in candidates for a two-year term of office. This January a caucus meeting will be held on TUESDAY JANUARY 21, 2025, 6:30pm when candidates will be selected to appear on the election ballot for the two-year term of April 2025 to April 2027. Any town resident who is at least 18 years of age and a US citizen may nominate (or be a candidate who is nominated) someone for office. Electors may choose up to two (2) candidates for each elective office who will then appear on the April ballot. In the Town of Buffalo elected officers are: Board Chairperson, Board Supervisor 1, Board Supervisor 2 and Constable. A complete caucus meeting agenda will be posted at least 5 days prior to the 1/21/2025 meeting.

OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
The Piepers Valley Cemetery association (Trustees) are actively seeking individuals who are willing to serve with them as part of the cemetery oversight committee. There is a serious need for additional help with this community service opportunity. For information please contact David Schmidknecht, 507.429.0652 or [email protected]
Another opportunity is to volunteer to be on a Town of Buffalo Community Park Committee. The town needs some people who are willing to provide some oversight (and work of course) for the park maintenance needs. We have some special needs that will be present in the Spring and plans for the project but badly need help to get the park ready for Summer use. Contact any of the board officers for details.

One timely way to do this is through email contact. If you are not on the town's contact email list and would like to be, please contact [email protected]. This is used for emergency/important town business ONLY.
