Village Board

Six Village Trustees and the Village President comprise the seven members of the Village Board of Trustees, commonly referred to as the Village Board. The Village President is a voting member of the Village Board and serves as its presiding officer. Both the trustees and the President are elected at large to a 2-year term.

Responsibilities

The Village Board of Trustees, elected by the community, serves as the legislative arm of village government and is responsible for setting policies, approving budgets, and guiding the long-term vision of Gays Mills. The Board exercises general statutory powers, including the management and control of village property, streets, municipal services, and finances. Trustees meet regularly to discuss village business, make decisions on local issues, and address the needs of residents, working to ensure that village operations serve the best interests of the community while preserving its character and vitality. In addition, the Board has the authority to act for the public health, welfare, and convenience through licensing, levying taxes, making appropriations, and other necessary means.
