The Trustees of the Village of Kimberly shall constitute the
Village Board. The Village Board shall be vested with all the powers
of the Village not specifically given some other officer, as well
as those powers set forth elsewhere throughout this Code.
The Village Board, on behalf of the Village, may join with other
counties, villages, cities, towns or other governmental entities in
a cooperative arrangement for executing any power or duty in order
to attain greater economy or efficiency, including joint employment
of appointive officers and employees.
[Amended 12-20-2021 by Ord. No. 15-2021]
The President and other Trustees who make up the Village Board,
whether operating under general or special law, may by majority vote
of all the members of the Village Board determine that an annual salary
be paid the President and Trustees. Salaries heretofore established
shall so remain until changed by ordinance and shall not be increased
or diminished during their terms of office. The annual salary for
the Village President is hereby established at $8,500 and the salary
for Village Trustees is hereby established at $5,000. These salary
adjustments shall become effective with the first payroll after the
2023 spring election.
When a question has been once decided, any member of the majority
or, in case of a tie, any member voting in the affirmative may move
a reconsideration thereof, but if a motion to reconsider is made on
a day subsequent to that on which the ordinance question was decided,
a vote of the majority of the entire Village Board shall be required
to sustain it.
The Village Board has the power to preserve order at its meetings.
Whenever any disturbance or disorderly conduct shall occur in any
of the meetings of the Village Board, the President may cause the
room to be cleared of all persons causing such disorderly conduct.
The rules of this chapter shall not be rescinded or amended
unless the proposed amendment or motion to rescind has laid over from
a regular meeting, and then it shall require a vote of 2/3 of all
the members of the Board.
These rules shall not be suspended except by a two-thirds vote
of all the members of the Board present, but in no event shall the
rules be suspended when there are fewer than five Trustees present.
