A Municipal Trustee is an elected official responsible for overseeing local government operations within a municipality, such as a town or city. Their primary role includes managing budgets, making policy decisions, and ensuring that community needs are met. They often work closely with other officials and community members to address local issues. Trustees typically serve on a board that meets regularly to discuss and vote on various matters affecting the municipality. They may also represent the interests of their constituents in discussions with higher levels of government, such as state or federal authorities, to secure funding or support for local projects.
