Village Board

Benton has an elected Village Board consisting of the Village President and a six-member Board of Trustees. The Village Board sets local governmental policy, determines types and levels of service to be provided, hires village employees, establishes village codes and ordinances, and approves the budget and subsequent expenditures for the fiscal year. Each member of the Board–including the President–is elected to a two-year term. To ensure that the Board is always comprised of at least three experienced members, elections for trustee positions are held on an every-other-year basis, with three positions being elected one year and four positions being elected the next.
