Town Council
About the Council
Together with the Supervisor, the Town Council enacts ordinances, adopts a budget, oversees town-wide planning and zoning, establishes recreation areas, and participates in town meetings. Elected to four-year terms by voters from the entire town, each of the four council members serves as a liaison to various departments under the town's jurisdiction.
As local officials, councilmembers are responsible for and responsive to the citizens who elected them. Constituents routinely seek the assistance of the Town Council office to act as advocates and to help resolve problems. They are often called upon to serve as an intermediary between other government offices and agencies. The supervisor delegates legislative and special committee assignments among the councilpersons, often times in their area of expertise. Each councilperson is responsible for overseeing various programs and events associated with their committee assignments.
Councilmembers

There are four elected councilmembers in the Town of Babylon. We do not have councilmanic districts, therefore every councilmember may assist all constituents.

The Town Councilmembers work with the Supervisor to introduce and vote on legislation (proposed laws) having to do with all aspects of town life, set policies and develop an annual Legislative Agenda for the Town of Babylon.

The minutes from Town Board meetings are available to the public after they are adopted, which is usually at the following Town Board meeting. Please go to the Town Clerk’s office to FOIL minutes.
