The Village of Rapids City
The legislative system in Rapids City consists of a Village Board, comprised of the President and
six Trustees. The Board is responsible for passing Village Ordinances, adopting an operating budget
and other Village policies. The President is responsible for carrying out policies and ordinances
set by the Board, supervising the operation of the Village and appointing committees. The President
and the Trustees are elected to four-year staggered terms. Elections are held every two years for 3
of the 6 Trustee positions.
The operating budget and appropriation ordinance is passed prior to the fiscal year, which is May
1st through April 30th. The main source of revenue to the Village is through the collection of
taxes. The Tax Levy Ordinance sets the taxes for each year for such purposes as funding day-to-day
operating expenses, police protection, maintinance of the cemetery, audit expenses, liability
insurance and retirement funding.
