Trustees are elected to a two-year term.  Elections are held every year on the third Tuesday in March.  Board members are elected to overlapping terms, with the Mayor and two trustees elected one year, and the other two trustees elected the following year.  Generally, the board of trustees have management of village property and finances, may create or abolish by resolution local laws to address village concerns consistent with the constitution and New York State laws, shall designate the depositaries for the deposit of moneys received by the village, accept dedicated streets, establish the village clerk's office hours, and may contract for the furnishing of fire protection and emergency services.

The Village of Arcade Board of Trustees meets in the village board room at 7:00 PM on the first and third Tuesday of every  month. Board meetings are open to the public and Village of Arcade residents are encouraged to attend.

Ken Rule - Deputy Mayor

I was born and raised in the Village of Arcade and have lived here my entire life.  I am the father of two children, Derek (attends Rochester Institute of Technology) and Brooke (attends Pioneer Central School).  Since I was sixteen years old, I have worked at my parents business, E. R. Rule and Sons, Inc. and my uncles business, Crabb Oil and Propane, Inc., both located in the Village of Arcade.

I was elected to my first two-year term as Trustee in 2008 and re-elected in 2010.  In April 2010, I was appointed to serve as Deputy Mayor.  Since my tenure on the Village Board, I have been liaison to the Water, Sewer, and Streets and Parks departments and I am currently liaison to the Justice and Police departments.  Working with the various departments has provided me an inside perspective and increased communication and cooperation.

Based on my experiences at the family business and through my social life, I have met and befriended may people who live and/or work in the Village of Arcade.  I believe that the knowledge I've gained has given me a good insight as to what is needed to support and govern the operations of the Village of Arcade.  I look forward to serving this Village for many years.

Donna Schiener - Trustee

I have lived within the village since July of 1984 with my husband Wally, and daughters Colby and Jaycie.  I have always been active within the community with a focus on youth while my children were young and in festivals and community activities thereafter.  I was employed by Arcade Dental Arts for 19 years and for the past 15 years have been employed by Zientek Appraisals in Arcade. 
 
I was one of the directors for a youth basketball league for 10 years, planned and chaired the Arcade Winterfest for 8 years and was on the Arcade’s Fabulous 50’s Festival committee for 7 years.  I am currently a member of the Chaffee Sardinia Kiwanis Club and one of the Founders and board members Arcade Area Community Theatre (AACT).  This theatre group was established for the sole purpose of raising funds for non-profit groups and charities.
 
Always aspiring for a better community, I also meet regularly with a Main Street Merchants group, organizing events and planning activities to bring commerce to our downtown area.  My passion has always been to create and promote a community that is resident and visitor friendly with adequate pedestrian facilities, increased commerce, and extra-curricular events to showcase the historical, safe and fulfilling lifestyle of a small town. 
 
One of my favorite quotes is from Eleanor Roosevelt, “I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and look on.”   As you can assume, sitting has never been one of my favorite pastimes!
