Village Council

Village Council Logo

The Village of Marvin is governed by a Council-Manager form of government and by a Mayor and a six-member Council. A nonpartisan election for Mayor is held every two years. Council elections are also nonpartisan and all seats are at-large. Council members are elected to four-year staggered terms.

The mission of the Council is to represent public interest, to promote efficient, courteous responses to residents' concerns and to provide leadership and direction for the Village’s future and to ensure fiscal integrity of the Village.

Village Council regular meetings are, unless otherwise noted, held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6pm at Village Hall. The public is invited to address the Council at every regular meeting for 3 minutes on any topic. A sign-up sheet is available prior to the regular meeting if you would like to address the board. Village Council work session meetings are, unless otherwise noted, held on the last Tuesday of the month at 9am at Village Hall.
