A Board of Trustees is the governing body of the Village. It consists of the Mayor, who is presiding officer, and four Trustees. The Mayor and Trustees are elected at the annual village election in June for staggered terms of two-years. See listing below.
The Mayor exercises the executive function and is assisted by the Village Administrator, the Clerk/Treasurer, and the Director of Utilities and Public Works. The Board of Trustees is the legislative body. It enacts local laws, adopts the budget, and exercises oversight over the Village departments, boards, commissions and committees. Trustees are assigned by the Mayor specific oversight and liaison responsibilities. The Mayor appoints all public officers and volunteer members of boards, commissions and committees with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
In addition to the elected officials and professional officers, the governance of the Village rests in the hands of about fifty volunteers who serve by appointment on ten boards, commissions, and committees. The Mayor is an ex officio member of every Village body. Every Trustee serves a liaison on one or more of the bodies
The Village Board of Trustees meets in regular session on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall on Montgomery Street. Meetings of elected boards, appointed boards, and commissions are open to the public.
The Village's fiscal year runs from June 1st to May 31st. The annual budget of approximately 6 million dollars is adopted at the April meeting of the Village Board.
The Village Court, 315-824-3508, is independent of Village government. The village Judge is elected by the voters for a four year term. The Court meets every Monday at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall which serves as the Court House.
