Description

As the legislative body, the Village Board of Trustees is responsible for the implementation of programs and services provided by the village, as well as hearing the concerns of local citizens. The Mayor, with the approval of the Board, has appointment authority for Village Officials such as Clerk-Treasurer and advisory committees such as the Architectural Review Board, Planning Board Technology Advisory Board, and Zoning and Appeals Board. Regular meetings of the Board of Trustees are held on the first Monday of the month, at 7:30 PM unless otherwise noticed, at the Plandome Heights Village Hall, 37 Orchard Street, Manhasset, NY 11030. Certain Public Hearings, at which greater than 20 people are expected, may be held at a larger facility. Such exceptions would be appropriately noticed.

Application Guidelines
Nassau County has over 1,000 elected offices and is governed by an assortment of offices on the county, municipal, and special district levels. Each of these entities administers their own elections, therefore, they must be contacted directly for election information. If you are interested in running, we strongly suggest calling the district as soon as possible to confirm information. In New York election law any paperwork filed late is considered a "fatal flaw" and the candidacy is nullified. There are general guidelines for district elections, but many districts have elections on unique dates. Please follow the instructions carefully. To file for this position, follow these three steps: 1) Contact the appropriate election administrator to confirm that your registered address qualifies for the position that you intend to run for, that you have the correct election and filing window dates, and that you meet any other qualifications. 2) Pick up the nominating petitions at the elections administrator's office. You should be able to ask questions regarding filing for office and have them clearly answered. If you have any issues regarding questions being answered by a district clerk, please contact the Nassau County Board of Elections at (516) 571-2411. 3) Gather the appropriate number of signatures and filing fee for the office and submit it to the election administrator within the filing window. Please note that these instructions are for an independent candidate. If you would like to run as a candidate of one of the major parties (Democrat, Republican, Green, Working Families, etc.) you will potentially have to adhere to a different timeline so that you can run in the primary. The New York State Office of the Comptroller may be able to help clarify information related to special districts, and we recommend contacting the district directly and if there is no response, consider lodging a formal complaint with the state comptroller.
