The Trustees of the Village of Trempealeau 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.
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 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.
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 be 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 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The rules of this chapter shall not be rescinded or amended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 form
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.
