VOTE411 Voter Guide

(Vote for up to 3) The legislative body of a village is the Village Board. It is the default repository of all municipal powers that have not been specifically delegated to some other office or board of the municipality. The language of the Illinois Municipal Code is such that in most cases the powers granted under it are to be exercised by the “corporate authorities.”The Village President & Board of Trustees govern the Village by determining policy through the passage of ordinances and control of finances. The Village Board consists of the Village President (Mayor), Village Clerk and six Village Trustees, who all serve four year terms.Source: https://www.iml.org/file.cfm?key=14434Source: https://www.villageofbloomingdale.org/141/Board-of-Trustees
