Board of Trustees
The Wheeling Board of Trustees is the legislative branch of
Village Government which creates all Village policy administered
by the Village Manager. The Board of Trustees, along with the
Village President, serve as the corporate authorities. Three
Trustees are elected by the citizens of Wheeling every two years
for four year terms. Board members’ terms commence on the
first Monday in May following their election.
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 (1) critically examining and regularly
reviewing Village policies, programs, and operations; (2)
assuming the role of community opinion leaders and; (3)
generating public support for Village programs and services.
