Village Board of Trustees responsibilities
are set forth in Village Law 4-412. The
Board of Trustees "shall have management
of village property and finances, may take
all measures to do all acts by local law
which shall be deemed expedient or desirable
for the good government of the village,
its management and business, the protection
of its property, the safety, health, comfort
and general welfare of its inhabitants,
the protection of their property, the preservation
of peace and good order, the suppression
of vice, the benefit of trade, and the preservation
and protection of public works. The Board
of Trustee may create or abolish by resolution
offices, board, agencies and commissions
and delegate to said officer so much of
its powers, duties and functions as it shall
deem necessary for effectuating or administering
the board of trustees duties and functions."
This extremely broad grant of power enables
the board of trustees to adopt a wide range
of local laws to address village concerns,
as long as the action taken is not inconsistent
with the constitution or general laws of
the state.
