About
The Village of Saranac Lake is proud to serve its residents through an efficient and responsible governance. Our Council-Manager form of government streamlines our decision-making processes, allowing us to respond quickly to the needs of our community. Our approach is to work collaboratively, building long-term relationships that benefit the whole community.
Under this form of government, the elected body hires a professional manager to implement its policies. Ultimately, the Manager serves at the pleasure of the Board and their duties include:
- Preparing the annual budget
- Overseeing day-to-day operations in the Village’s departments
- Recruiting, hiring, and supervising Village staff
- Implementing policies of the Board of Trustees
