The Supervisor is elected for a term of two years, and Council members for four years. By the state of New York, it is vested with control of legislation, appropriation of monies, and decision making on general local governmental policies. The Board authorizes the annual budget and the collection of taxes required to finance it. Council members are also appointed by the Supervisor to serve as liaison to committees and commissions.

Town Board Meetings

The Town Board holds scheduled meetings in the Court Room at the Town Center. Generally, Town Board Meetings are held on the first and third Wednesday of each month, except during the summer months; meeting only once per month in July and August.
