Village not specifically given some other officer, as well as those
powers set forth elsewhere throughout this Code.

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.
Any member voting on the prevailing side may move for reconsideration
of the vote on any question at that meeting or the next succeeding
regular meeting, except those which cannot be reconsidered pursuant
to Robert's Rules of Order, Revised.
Whenever any disturbance or disorderly conduct shall occur in
any of the meetings of the Board, the President may, following a warning,
cause the room to be cleared by a law enforcement officer of all persons
causing such disorderly conduct.
The rules of §§

These rules shall not be suspended except by a two-thirds vote
of all the members of the Board.
