Transparency

The Village of Flossmoor operates under the Council-Manager form of government. Under this form of government, power is concentrated in the elected council, which in Flossmoor consists of a Village President (Mayor) and six Board of Trustees, who are elected to 4-year terms of office. The Mayor and Trustees are responsible for setting all policies and enacting municipal laws that govern the Village of Flossmoor.  

This elected group then hires a professional administrator — the Village Manager — to implement its policies. This highly trained, experienced administrator serves at the pleasure of the elected governing body and has responsibility for preparing the budget, directing day-to-day operations, hiring and firing personnel, and serving as the council's chief policy advisor. The Village Manager and all members of the ICMA in Flossmoor adhere to the International City/Council Management Association’s Code of Ethics, defined as the principles that serve as the foundation for local government management that set the standard for excellence.
