All meetings of the Village Board shall be conducted in compliance with § V Chapter
19, Wis. Stats. (Wisconsin Open Meetings Law) as may be amended or renumbered from time to time.
(A) Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Village Board shall be
held on the second Tuesday of each calendar month at 5:30 p.m., unless
changed by a majority vote of the Board for a good reason. Any regular
meeting falling on a legal holiday may be held at any other secular
day at the same hour and place as determined by the Village Board.
(B) Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Village Board may be called
by the President or by not less than two Trustees per § 61.32,
Wis. Stats., by requesting the Clerk/Treasurer to call such meeting,
stating the time and place for such meeting, which notice may be in
writing, by electronic mail or by telephone. No business shall be
transacted at a special meeting except for the purpose which was stated
in the notice thereof.
(C) Place of Meetings. Meetings of the Village Board, including special
and adjourned meetings, shall be held at the Village Hall. However,
a meeting of the Village Board may be held at any designated place
upon proper public notice of such meeting at least 24 hours prior
to the time for such meeting.
(D) Quorum. Four Trustees shall constitute a quorum and the only business
to be undertaken in the absence of a quorum shall be to adjourn from
time to time or to compel the attendance of absent members.
(E) Attendance at Meetings. For purposes of establishing a quorum, a
Trustee must attend a meeting either in person or by telephone conference
call which provides the press and the public with an effective means
to monitor the telephone conversations of any Trustee not personally
in attendance. Any meeting at which a Trustee(s) anticipates not being
personally present and participating by telephone conference must
be properly noticed which shall include the intention that one or
more Trustees will participate by telephone or other electronic or
video format which allows the press and/or the public an equivalent
ability to monitor the participation of Trustee(s) not personally
present at the meeting. The attendance by a Trustee shall not be available
by telephone for any meeting or any portion of a meeting which is
a closed session of the Village Board pursuant to § 19.85(1),
Wis. Stats.
No ordinance, resolution or by-law shall be considered unless
presented to the Board in writing. Ordinances, resolutions, by-laws,
communications and other matters submitted to the Board shall be read,
except that if requested by a Trustee before the final vote is taken,
no ordinance, resolution or by-law need be read in full.
