(518)293-6666 Ext.1

Duties:

A significant and unusual role is filled by the Town Supervisor. In the Town of Saranac, as in all New York State towns, the Town Supervisor serves in three major capacities: Chairman of the Town Board, Town Executive, and Fiscal Officer.

  • As Town Legislator. The Supervisor is not only the presiding officer of the Town Board, but votes like all other members. Contrary to usual practice for presiding officers who merely break ties, the supervisor goes on record on each matter that comes up.
  • As Town Executive and Administrator. After Town Board decisions have been made, it is the supervisor who carries them out. He is the administrator of all programs and he has charge of all town offices and buildings. It is usually with him that citizens register their complaints and their suggestions. He disburses funds and has broad responsibility for the entire administration of the budget.
