The Town Board is comprised of an elected Supervisor serving a two year term and four elected councilmen each serving four year terms. The Town Board controls Town finances, acquisition of real property, the Town budget, salary negotiations, legislation and policy. With the exception of elected officials, the Town Board also appoints all employees as well as members of boards serving the Town such as the Planning Board, Architectural Review Advisory Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Conservation Board, and Parks and Recreation Board.
Twice a month the Town Board holds a public meeting to discuss and make decisions on pending Town business such as scheduling public hearings to consider legislation, adopting tax exemptions for seniors and veterans, accepting dedicated roads that meet Town standards, awarding bids for equipment and materials, letting contracts such as those for building ball fields, approving all expenditures and much more.
