Saratoga County Board of Supervisors:
Town Supervisors represents the Town on the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors. There are 27 Cities, Towns, and/or Villages in Saratoga County. Villages do not have a vote on Saratoga County Board of Supervisors matters; and, the Towns of Clifton Park and Saratoga Springs each have two votes.
Major legislative duties include adopting resolutions for the purpose of setting policy and providing for its administration, approving formal contracts, setting employee salaries, adopting budgets and establishing fees for service, adopting an annual budget, and holding public hearings on a variety of matters.
Board meetings are only a part of the work of the members, who must attend dozens of other types of meetings, listen to suggestions and complaints of county residents, participate in a variety of civic activities, and investigate and resolve a wide assortment of problems. They are called on to meet with elected representatives and officials of other government agencies. A county supervisor may serve in other capacities on various boards, commissions, or special districts.
