The elected five-member Village Council is responsible for enforcing town ordinances including building codes. Council members serve two-year terms of office on a rotating basis. Elections are held the second Tuesday in May, at which time there is also an annual meeting for all residents. Anyone age 18 or older who is a resident of Section 3 is a qualified voter, regardless of citizenship or ownership status. If your drivers' license does not indicate that you are a resident of Section 3 and you wish to vote, you need only fill out a form printed in the newsletter prior to the election indicating your desire to vote in the town's elections. The deadline is usually a few weeks prior to the actual voting day. |
The Village Council is responsible for maintaining the community in reasonable order and have jurisdiction over street, curb and sidewalk maintenance, snow removal and sanding of streets as needed, care of trees on Village property, trash collection street lighting, traffic signs, etc. The building inspector handles routine permits, once a county permit has been issued and the entire Council votes on any variances that might be requested. |
