Mayor & Board of Trustees

About the Department:

Brian Borchik Mayor



I moved to Phoenix in the summer of 2016 after falling in love with a house I looked at on the river. I was drawn to the area because of it being a river-side community. I have worked on and around the water since I was 17 years old in the boating and commercial fishing industry. One thing many people are always surprised to find out about me is that my college degree is Marine Biology!  
 
Upon moving into my house I was immediately welcomed by neighbors and could fell the closeness of the entire community. I started attending board meetings after speaking with a neighbor who sparked my interest in the political side of the village. 
 
I attended regular board meetings as a resident for about two years when I was asked to join the Village Planning Board. I served in that position for one year, followed by one year as a Trustee and now the Mayor. I'm extremely humbled by the outpouring of support from village residents in my path to this office.  
 
I'm very excited for the future of our community and the receipt of the $4.5 million dollar NY Forward Grant only adds to the possibilities of what we can, and will, accomplish together. My door is always open. I feel that constant communication between the board and residents is key and I will always encourage participation from all villagers in everything we do.
