Government
The Village of Marcellus is a voluntary unit, governmentally independent of the Town of Marcellus and the County of Onondaga, of which it is a part. Marcellus is one of 15 villages in Onondaga County. The Village Law and the New York State Constitution set forth the structure and powers of government in the Village of Marcellus.
The Village of Marcellus government is responsible for providing such services as police protection, sewer, and highway services. Originally governed by a five-member board, the Village of Marcellus, since the election of 1899, has been governed by an elected Mayor and elected Board of Trustees consisting of two members.
Elected to four-year terms, the Mayor and members of the Board of Trustees meet once each month, in general session open to the public. A Clerk and Treasurer, appointed by the Mayor, subject to Board of Trustee approval, is also required under law. Other officials and heads of departments, such as highway, DPW, and Police, required to carry on the functions of the Village are appointed by the Mayor subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees on an annual basis.
