The Village Board of Trustees is the legislative, appropriating and governing body of the Village which may exercise power to enact local laws and regulations related to zoning, housing, land use control and any other ordinance to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the community.  

The Board of Trustees consists of four elected Trustees and a Mayor, who may vote and in the case of a tie, to cast the deciding vote of the Board.  The Term of office for both the Mayor and a Trustee is two years.  These elected officials can serve an unlimited number of terms.

The Mayor is the chief executive officer of the Village and the presiding officer of the Board of Trustees.  Since the Village does not have a separate Planning Board, the Mayor and Trustees sit as members of a Planning Board for matters and official business related to the functions of a Planning Board.

The Village Clerk-Treasurer, whose responsibility is to maintain the official records, is also the chief financial officer of the Village and is appointed by the Board of Trustees.   Each March, two Trustees terms of office are open for election as established in Village Election Law.  Every two years, the Mayor runs for election at the same time at the Trustees in March.

The Board of Trustees meeting are held on the first and third Wednesday of the month in the Village Court room at 8:00 P.M. and are open to the public. 

The Code of the  Village of Great Neck Plaza is comprised of all of the local laws and regulations related to zoning, housing, land use control and any other ordinance to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the community.  Click here to view the Village Code.
