What does serving on the Village Board entail?

Village Board members make policy decisions, enact laws, approve an annual budget and act for the overall benefit and best interest of the Village. Regular Village Board meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 6 p.m. and special meetings are scheduled as needed. Each Village Board Trustee is assigned to serve on about 3-5 committees that each typically meet on a monthly basis or as-needed, as well as the Board of Review which meets at least once annually. Village Board Trustees serve two-year terms and receive a stipend of $6,300 annually.
