It is the intent of this chapter to provide a standardized procedure
for membership on and appointment to a Village committee or board
not otherwise established by state or local law.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
BOARD LIAISON
Person or persons responsible for communications between
a committee, as defined above, and the Village Board, who shall not
be a member of the committee. This does not preclude the Mayor from
making a liaison appointment to a committee to represent the executive
branch of the Village.
COMMITTEE
For purposes of this chapter only, any committee not already
described in the Village Code or state law, including committees required
for grants, or that is convened for the purpose of generating recommendations
to the Village Board of Trustees, or results in actions to be taken
by the Village Board, but does not possess sovereign authority to
act on behalf of the Village on its own. The term "committee" shall
be deemed to be a generic designation and shall also include any group
appointed by a majority vote of the Village Board, including but not
limited to any board, advisory council, board, commission, council,
advisory committee, task force or any other similar nomenclature.
COMMITTEE INTEREST FORM
A form maintained by the Village, required to be filled out
and submitted to be considered for membership on a committee.
The Village Board, by resolution, may establish committees for
such purposes as it may deem necessary to assist it in the performance
of its duties.
This chapter shall become effective upon filing with the Department
of State.
