As corporate authorities, the Board of Trustees possesses and exercises all legislative powers of the Village, determining the policies of the Village government through the adoption or approval of ordinances, resolutions, motions, approval of agreements, appropriations and fiscal budgets. The corporate authorities appoint, direct and, if necessary, remove the Village Manager. The corporate authorities control the administrative function of the Village through the Village Manager and require effective administrative action at all times. Appointments to advisory Boards and Commissions are made by the Village President with the advice and consent of the Board of Trustees. Additionally the Board of Trustees exercises responsible leadership by:

  • Critically examining and regularly reviewing Village policies, programs, and operations
  • Assuming the role of community opinion leaders
  • Generating public support for Village programs and services
Residents or interested parties can make arrangements to speak at a Board meeting. Sign in is before the meeting and each speaker will be given 5 minutes to speak on issues related to Village business.
