Village Officials
The Village; as set forth in the Missouri State Statutes; are allowed to have only one form of government and that is an elected Board of Trustees. In villages with a population under 2,500, the board of trustees consists of five members. Trustees are elected to two-year terms. The elected officials consist of five residents elected at-large, with a chairman being elected by the seated trustees. The Chairman has duties similar to a mayor, with one major difference; a chairman is allowed to vote. The Chairman may vote on any issue before the board. The Code of Ordinances places legislative and policy-making authority with the Board of Trustees.
The trustees in Marlborough, also, perform additional duties according to the position they are assigned. These positions include:
Appointed positions in the village include:
ELECTED OFFICIALS
Chairman Roy "Skip" Bornmueller
As a life long resident of the Affton area and a graduate of Affton High School, I have lived in Marlborough since 1969. Becky, my wife of 40 years, and I raised our 2 children here. I served 3 years in the United States Navy with 2 tours of duty in Vietnam and I am member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. I am employed by Martin Overhead Doors in the commercial sales field.
I have had the pleasure of serving as a trustee for the village since 1997, eleven of those years serving as the street commissioner. In the past six years, every street in the village has been repaired, over laid, and sealed using mainly grant funds with minimal use of general revenue funds. This year I was appointed to serve as chairman of the board in April 2009.
My goal for the Village is to maintain it as a good place to live, raise a family, and conduct business. This includes fiscal responsibility, improving communication between Village Hall and the residents, and maintaining the infrastructure and equipment.
Trustee Joan Doebber, Chairman Pro-tem, Treasurer
A Marlborough resident since 1970, my husband and I, also, own and operate a business located in the Village. My education in business and marketing, growing up in a family business, and learning about responsibility at an early age played an important role in my life. For 2 1/2 years my husband and I traveled throughout South East Asia and the Far East, visiting military bases during the end years of the Vietnam War. When back in the U.S., I became the first woman hired as a general manager for one of the 52 national profit centers for Cory Food Service, a Hershey company, and operated that facility successfully for over 10 years eventually ranking 1st or 2nd in the nation for sales and profit. My additional management experience has been in a computer processing, telephone answering service and secretarial service that I purchased and operated until joining my husband in his business.
In 2003, I became a Village Trustee and have served as Treasurer for our Village. I try to use the same management principles for the Village as I have in the corporate arena and keep a watchful eye on investments and expenses. My goal is to refine forecasts for budget figures, ensure that we can continue to hold our tax rates at the same rate, be cognizant of any village concerns and work for the entire community (residents and businesses).
Trustee Ruth Hollander Elliott, Sewer Lateral Administrator
I have lived in Marlborough since 1971 and own a business located in the village. I have been a teacher in the public schools and served the State of Missouri as a Condemnation Commissioner.
I have three adult sons, two of whom live in Marlborough.
In 1995, I had the honor of being elected as the first woman to serve as a Trustee for the Village of Marlborough and have served in that position since 1995. In those fourteen years of service my mission and goals were and continue to include:
Keeping our finances in check.
Protect our residents from any increase in real estate and personal property taxes.
Continue providing free trash service.
To preserve the quality of life which the village now offers to both it's residents and the businesses.
Trustee Jan Boergadine, Building Commissioner...
A lifelong resident of Affton, I graduated from Affton High School and received my Bachelor’s degree in Business from Lindenwood University. I am currently employed as a Sales Representative for TermNet Merchant Services, a credit card processing company based out of Atlanta, Georgia.
I have lived in the Village of Marlborough since 1997 and have been a Board Trustee since 2006. Lola, my rescued Greyhound, and Lucy, my cat, are wonderful company for me and my Dad.
My goals as a trustee are to enhance the Village while being fiscally responsible, keeping the residents’ best interests in mind at all times.
Trustee Joe Wendling, Street Commissioner
My involvement with the Village of Marlborough began in 1992 and I took up residence here in 1998. My background includes a B.S. in Business Administration degree from the University of Missouri, St. Louis in property management. I started in the field of property management in 1988 at a complex in the Central West End, St. Louis. In 1992, I became manager for the General Grant Apartments and remained there until a promotion in 1995 to Marlborough Trails Apartment complex. My leisure time activities include reading and mountain biking.
I was delighted to have been chosen by the Board of Trustees to serve in a vacated position. I have been involved with the Village officials and police department since 1992 attending meetings, offering thoughts and concerns, and problem resolution. My position on the board is that of Street Commissioner. I will continue to see that the streets remain in great shape and aid in improving those with issues.
While serving on the Board, I would like to see continued improvement in our neighborhoods, answer to needs and wants of our residents, and incorporate the residents in the apartment complexes into village life. By making the Village a desirable place, we will be able to keep property values up and be able to continue to make improvements.
Residents may contact any village official by calling Village Hall 9:00-4:00, visiting us between the hours of 9:00 am-4:00 pm or using the link "Contact Us" near the bottom of left-hand side of the page. We look forward to your involvement in the Village.
