A.
The City of Vandalia is incorporated, and
classified as a Fourth Class City, in accordance with State law. Providing
for optional forms of government, the City of Vandalia has adopted
the Mayor-Board form of government, and known as the "weak Mayor-Board
form." This means appointments are made with consent of the Board,
and consequently the Mayor has little administrative power. This form
of structure approximates the Federal government in that it includes
the concept of separation of powers (executive, legislative, and judicial)
and checks and balances. The Board is the basic governing unit because
it levies taxes, appropriates monies, makes decisions on policy matters,
and supervises the administration. The Board is the legislative body
of Vandalia. It adopts local resolutions and ordinances within the
framework of latitude given it by State law. The laws of Vandalia
are the ordinances, and these may be divided into three (3) categories:
1.
Administrative, dealing with the
organization of government (e.g., the division of powers between administration
departments, the salary scale for employees).
2.
Contractual, such as the granting
of franchises to private utility firms, and
3.
"Penal ordinances," that regulate
the conduct of persons and are based on the general policy powers
of the municipality to protect the health, welfare, and safety of
the citizens of Vandalia. Many ordinances cover fields where State
laws already operate. State laws may also be adopted by reference
and incorporated into local ordinances. The City shall have power
to enact all ordinances not repugnant to the constitution and laws
of this State.
