As the governing body of the Village of Newark, the Village Board is elected by Village residents to not only oversee Village property and finance, but to maintain the safety, health, comfort and welfare of its residents.

The Village Board is responsible for such functions as the development of Village policies and standards of operation for departments; completion of budget process; involvement in purchasing, insurance and revolving loan fund issues; and serve as committee members for loan review, personnel issues, records management, and information technology.  These members further act as commissioners for the Fire Department, Police Department, Ambulance and Veteran Affairs.

The Board of Trustees meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, except in June, July and August when they meet only on the 3rd Tuesday of the month; or when special meetings are posted.
