[Adopted 8-22-2006 (Title
2, Ch. 2, of the 2006 Code of Ordinances)]
The Trustees of the Village of Sullivan shall constitute the
Village Board. The Village Board shall be vested with all the powers
of the Village not specifically given some other officer, as well
as those powers set forth elsewhere throughout this Code of Ordinances.
The Village Board, on behalf of the Village, may join with other
counties, villages, cities, towns or other governmental entities in
a cooperative arrangement for executing any power or duty in order
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.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. III)]
A. The Village President and other Trustees who make up the Village
Board, whether operating under general or special law, may by three-fourths
vote of all the members of the Village Board determine that a salary
be paid the President, Trustees, and other Village officials. Salaries
heretofore established shall so remain until changed by ordinance
and shall not be increased or diminished during their terms of office.
B. If a Village Board member misses six or more meetings in a year (April
to April), the member will not receive his/her semiannual compensation
check.
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. A Trustee may not change his
vote on any question after the result has been announced.
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 §§
110-16 and
110-19 through
110-21 shall not be rescinded or amended unless the proposed amendment or motion to rescind has laid over from a regular meeting, and then it shall require a vote of 2/3 of all the members of the Board.
