The administration department provides general administrative services for the village as a whole.  Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in the board of trustees. The village administrator is responsible for carrying out the board’s policies and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the village.  The staff works directly with the village board and coordinates policies and services with all village departments. 

Additional duties include monitoring of municipal franchise agreements, including the waste hauler, mosquito control and janitorial services contracts. The Freedom of Information Act Officer is an administration staff member and all requests flow through the department.

Administration personnel also act as liaisons to civic organizations, such as the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, the Bartlett Veterans Memorial Foundation and Arts in Bartlett. Staff plans for and executes several community events throughout the year in addition to working with civic groups who host our largest annual festivals.

The administration department also includes the history museum director who designs new exhibits, maintains the museum archives, and presents education programs to increase awareness of local history. The Bartlett History Museum is incorporated into the lobby of Bartlett Village Hall and the Bartlett Depot Museum, offering two venues, where you can learn about local history. 

A community relations coordinator is responsible for, among other things, production of the Bartletter (a bi-monthly newsletter distributed free of charge to village residents), website content, other social media and writing various news releases.

An economic development coordinator heads efforts to recruit and retain local businesses and industry. Economic development efforts include reporting to the Bartlett Economic Development Commission, meeting with developers and business owners, as well as conducting email campaigns and video marketing.

Human resources and benefits coordination is also under the administration department. This division administers labor contracts, assists in personnel issues, analyzes and modifies policies, directs the safety and risk management programs and maintains the job classification system overseeing implementation of procedures to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
