Mayor & Board of Trustees

About the Department:

The government of the Village of Phoenix consists of a five (5)-member board made up of the Mayor and four (4) Trustees who are elected to two-year terms. The board sets policy as well as adopting local laws, approving budgets, and setting tax rates. Members of the Board of Trustee have the responsibility for the management of all village property and finances. They are charged with the protection of all Village property and the safety, health, comfort and general welfare of Village residents. Village Trustees must see that personal property is protected, preserve the peace and good order, benefit trade and preserve and protect the public works system. The Board has a broad range of power that enables them to adopt a wide range of laws to address village concerns, so long as the action is not inconsistent with the constitution or the general laws of the state.

Village trustee Paul A. Griser

Paul Griser Trustee / Deputy Mayor

Hello, my name is Paul Griser, a relatively new resident of the Phoenix community. My fiancé Ashley and I (and our Boxer Chevy) moved to the village last winter and quickly fell in love with our new community. Originally from Cape May, NJ, I moved to central New York in 2013 and have been employed at CiTi BOCES as a public relations specialist since 2014. To further immerse myself in the community and give back as much as I can, I decided to run and was successfully chosen as a village trustee. I would love nothing more than to give back to the community that has taken us in and turned us into Firebirds!
