Overview
of Village Government
The
Village of Worth is governed by a President, Clerk, and
six Trustees who meet twice a month in Village Board
Meetings to approve ordinances and resolutions, discuss
new programs, vote to pay obligations, and to hear comments
from the residents. The Village President is the chief
executive officer and the Board of Trustees is the legislative
body. The Clerk is the official keeper of the Village
Seal and all the Village Records. All are elected to
four year terms and local elections are held every two
years in April.
Most
of the work by the Village Board is done in committees
that report to the full Board of Trustees. All committees
of the Village Board are "committees of the whole" meaning
that all six trustees serve on each committee with a trustee
serving as the chairman of each committee.
Village Board meetings are held in the Village Hall located at 7112
W. 111th Street. Regular Board meetings are held on the first and
third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm. Exceptions are holidays and
other special circumstances. An annual meeting schedule is posted
at the Village Hall and can also be found here.
These meetings are open to the public and all residents are encouraged
to attend.
The Village of Worth prides on the friendly people who live here
and the services provided by the police, fire and public works departments.
We truly are "The Friendly Village."
