The Bedford Town Board is the governing body of the Town of Bedford, New York — a five-member elected board consisting of the Town Supervisor and four Town Councilmembers. The Board sets the town budget, approves local laws, directs contracts and capital projects, and makes the policy calls that shape daily life across Bedford's three hamlets: Bedford Village, Bedford Hills, and Katonah. This page tracks the current members, meeting schedule, contact information, and The Bedford Bee's coverage of their votes and decisions.

What the Bedford Town Board Actually Controls
The Town Board adopts the annual budget, sets the property tax levy, and approves all town contracts above a statutory threshold. It enacts local laws, establishes zoning policy in coordination with the Planning Board, and directs capital projects — roads, parks, public facilities, and infrastructure spending. The Board also oversees town departments, appoints committee members, and responds to state and county mandates that land on Bedford's plate.
In practice, this means the Board is the deciding vote on development proposals, the leaf blower ordinance, the town's position on the BESS battery storage debate, and the line items in every budget cycle. If something affects Bedford residents, it almost certainly crosses the Town Board's dais first.
