Deputy Supervisor: Curt Schreiner
The Town Supervisor presides at the Town Board meetings and may be assigned certain powers of administration and supervision by the Town Board. The office is an elected office for a 2-year term and applicant must be a resident of the Town. The supervisor and the Town Board work together to propose legislation and make policy decisions that affect residents. They set short-and long-term goals of the town. The Supervisor may appoint committees of Town Board members to make studies and report back with recommendations. The Supervisor is a member of the Town Board and must vote on every matter before the Town Board and may move or second resolutions. The Supervisor may appoint a Deputy Supervisor who has no vote unless they are a Town Board member. The Supervisor prepares the agenda for all Town Board meetings.
The Town Supervisor is the Chief Financial Officer or treasurer for a town of the second class, population less than 10,000, and those duties cannot be delegated. When a federal decennial census shows that the population of a town of the second class is over 10,000 people, its classification automatically changes to a town of the first class. The Town Board may then establish the office of Comptroller and appoint someone to the position who would then perform the accounting duties as the accounting officer. The Supervisor is allowed to appoint a Bookkeeper or a Clerk and that appointment is strictly the Town Supervisor’s with the exception that the salary is decided by the Town Board. The Supervisor provides all departments with daily direction on the implementation of town law, policies and rules.
The Supervisor represents the town in all of its dealings with Saratoga County, the State of New York and federal agencies. Supervisor Edwards currently serves on multiple committees at the county level including: Law and Finance, Real Property Tax, Public Works, Buildings & Grounds, Adirondack Local Government Review Board, Great Sacandaga Lake Advisory Council, and the Intercounty Committee of the Adirondacks.
The supervisor responds daily to the needs of our residents and is available to meet with residents any time by appointment.
