Governance in the Village of Glenview

Glenview operates under a council-manager form of government. The Village President and six Trustees are elected at-large (i.e. they do not represent particular wards or areas of the Village). A given term is four years and there are no term limits; Trustees may run for re-election as often as they choose. Village elections are held every two years in April.

The President, with the concurrence of the Trustees, appoints the Village Manager, responsible for implementing Board policies and handling day-to-day operations, as well as members of the various Commissions (Appearance, Historic Preservation, Natural Resources, Plan and the Zoning Board of Appeals) responsible for overseeing and regulating different aspects of the Village.
 
The Board of Trustees meets twice a month, while the Commissions meet once or twice a month. The Village Board's  decisions and policy initiatives are carried out by the Village Manager and seven municipal departments: Planning/Economic Development, Fire, Capital Projects/Inspectional Services, Manager's Office, Police, Public Works and Administrative Services. Although there are Village facilities throughout Glenview, most services available to the public are accessed through the Village Hall, at 1225 Waukegan Road. Regular hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
