Town board
As the town's governing body, the Rhinebeck Town Board oversees all municipal functions in the town and some joint municipal activities in the town and village, including recreation, tax collection, property assessment, web site management, senior citizens programs and certain permits.
The five elected members of the Town Board -- comprising the supervisor, deputy supervisor and three members at large, commonly referred to as "councilpersons" -- serve as legislators when they sit together in public session at Town Board meetings. As a board, they adopt budgets; determine tax rates; pass local laws; approve contracts; and hire all staff. The town supervisor serves as the Town's chief fiscal officer and chairs the board meetings.
Acting in their administrative capacity, members of the Town Board also serve as liaison to departments, committees and councils.
Town Board meetings are usually scheduled for the second and fourth Monday of the month, but please always check the calendar for changes.
