Special meetings of the Board of Trustees are those Board meetings
other than regular meetings. The Mayor may, and at the request of
any two Trustees shall, call a special meeting, with notice to the
entire Board. Notice of meetings shall be given by telephone, in person,
or in writing, including by fax, e-mail or other electronic means.
A quorum shall be required to conduct business. Three members
of the Board attending in person shall constitute a quorum. In the
absence of a quorum, a lesser number may adjourn and compel the attendance
of absent members.
Executive sessions shall be held in accordance with the New
York State Public Offices Law § 105. All executive sessions
shall be commenced in a public meeting.
All members of the public and all public officials may photograph,
tape or video record public meeting, but not any executive session.
The photography or recording should be done in a manner, which does
not interfere with the meeting. The Mayor may determine that photography
or recording is being done in an intrusive manner, taking into consideration,
but not limited to, brightness of lights, distance from the deliberations
of the Village Board, size of the equipment and the ability of the
public to participate in the meeting. If the Mayor determines that
photography or recording is intrusive and is interfering with the
meeting, the Mayor may request an accommodation to avoid the interference,
and if such accommodation is not forthcoming may direct the person
performing such photography or recording to cease and desist doing
so or leave the room.
The Rules of Procedure may be amended from time to time by majority
vote of the Board.
