There is hereby established and adopted a personnel program
for the Village providing for the classifications of positions in

dismissal and political activity, all as developed in detail in this
chapter.
The Village Board is hereby authorized and directed to administer
the personnel program as provided in this chapter. The Mayor and Village
Board shall, from time to time, review these rules and regulations
and make necessary changes and revisions to keep the personnel program
current.

provide machinery for its administration. In the formulation of this
policy, the Board recognizes that the Village is a creature of the

within this framework of law, the Village Board must be in final control.
Subject to these conditions, the Board can establish governing principles
upon which a progressive program of employee relationships may be

employment conditions as are consistent with local welfare, having
due regard to the fact that the work of the Village is being financed
by the people of Westville, Illinois. All offices and positions subject
to Village jurisdiction shall be covered by these rules and regulations
except for the following:
