Village Government
Legislative and policy-making powers are vested in the Mayor and a Village Board
consisting of five Trustees. The Mayor is the official head of the village and presides at
meetings of the Trustees. The Mayor may vote on any matter before the Board and is obliged
to cast the deciding vote in the event of a tie. Elections for the offices of Mayor and
Trustee are held on the third Tuesday in March.
The Board of Trustees meets on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month at
the Municipal Building. All meetings are open to the public and residents are encouraged
to attend. Many residents volunteer their services for the numerous boards and commissions
appointed by the Village Board.
The Village Manager, appointed by the Board of Trustees, is the chief executive
administrative officer of the Village. The Manager is responsible for the faithful
execution of laws of the State of New York and of the ordinances, rules, and by-laws of
the Board of Trustees. The Manager recommends legislation, prepares a budget for the
consideration of the Board, and reports to the Board on all affairs of the Village.
The Village participates in a vigorous recycling program.
