The Village of Tigerton is a body corporate and politic with
the powers of a municipality at common law and governed by the provisions
of Chapters 61 and 66 of the Wisconsin Statutes, laws amending those
chapters, other acts of the Legislature and the Constitution of the
State of Wisconsin.
The Trustees of the Village of Tigerton 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.
The Village Board has the power to preserve order at its meetings,
compel attendance of Trustees and punish nonattendance. Members of
the Village Board shall be residents of the Village at the time of
their election and during their terms of office.
The President and other Trustees who make up the Village Board,
whether operating under general or special law, may by a 3/4 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.
[Added 4-16-2003]
Any member of the Village Board or any committee or commission
shall be allowed to attend said meetings by participating in said
meetings via a speaker telephone. This will be limited to one member
per meeting.
Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Village President or by two Trustees by filing a written request with the Clerk-Treasurer at least 24 hours prior to the time specified for such meeting. The Clerk-Treasurer shall immediately notify each Trustee of the time and purpose of such meeting. The notice shall be delivered or mailed to each Trustee personally or left at his usual place of abode. The Clerk-Treasurer shall cause an affidavit of such notice to be filed in his office prior to the time fixed for such special meeting. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting except for the purpose stated in the notice thereof. Notice to the public of special meetings shall conform to the open meeting requirements of § 61.32 and Ch.
19, Subch. V, Wis. Stats.
All meetings shall be open to the public, unless falling within
a lawful exception of the Wisconsin Open Meetings Law.
All general ordinances of the Village and all regulations imposing
any penalty shall be published, either in its entirety or by notice
as provided in § 61.50(1) and (3), Wis. Stats., in the official
paper of the Village once or according to state law.
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 Board shall be required to sustain
it.
Whenever any disturbance or disorderly conduct shall occur in
any of the meetings of the Board, the President may cause the room
to be cleared of all persons guilty of such disorderly conduct except
the Trustees.
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 2/3 vote of all
the members of the Board.
