In 1965, the Council-Manager form of government was established in Elk Grove Village. This form of government combines the leadership and policy-making skills of elected officials with the professional administrative training of the Village Manager. Under this popular form of government, the elected representatives establish policies steering the Village's purpose, values, mission, and goals. It is the role of the Village Manager to implement those policies in an efficient and effective manner. The Mayor and Board of Trustees appoint the Village Manager based upon the individual education, skills, talent, and experience of the candidate. The Village Manager is vested with the authority to hire employees (except for certain Police and Fire personnel), prepare the annual budget, and manage the day-to-day affairs of the municipal departments. The mission of the Village Manager is to serve the residents and businesses of the community in the most effective and responsive manner possible. A well-organized and professionally managed community clearly contributes to maintaining a high quality of life. The Human Resource Office and Economic Development Office are activities of the Village Manager's Office. Please visit the links at the left for additional information on these activities. |
