As of April 16, 1970, the qualified electors of the Town authorized
and directed the Town Board to exercise all powers related to villages and
conferred on village boards by Ch. 61, Wis. Stats., except those powers which
conflict with statutes relating to towns and town boards.
The business of the Board shall be conducted in the following order:
A. Call to order by presiding officer.
B. Roll call. If a quorum is not present, the meeting may thereupon adjourn, which may be to a specific date and hour pursuant to §
120-3D.
C. Reports by department heads.
E. New business, including the introduction of ordinances
and resolutions, and unfinished business.
F. Comments and suggestions from citizens present.
The presiding officer shall preserve order and decorum, decide all questions
of order and conduct the proceedings of the meeting.
A majority of the members of the Town Board shall constitute a quorum.
Any member voting with the majority may move for a reconsideration of
the vote on any question at that meeting. A motion to reconsider being put
and lost shall not be renewed. A Supervisor may not change his vote on any
question after the result has been announced.
All ordinances and bylaws shall be signed by the Town Board and countersigned
by the Clerk and if any penalty or forfeiture is thereby imposed shall be
published as a Class One notice under Ch. 985, Wis. Stats., and shall take
effect on the day after its publication or a later date if expressly prescribed.
If there is no newspaper published in the Town, the Town Board may in lieu
of newspaper publication have copies of ordinances and bylaws posted in at
least three public places in the Town and proof thereof filed and recorded
by the Town Clerk, and the same shall take effect the day after the proof
of posting has been filed and recorded, or at a later date if expressly provided
in the ordinance or bylaw.
These rules shall not be rescinded or amended unless the proposed amendment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.
These rules, or any part thereof, may be temporarily suspended in connection
with any matter under consideration by affirmative vote of two members of
the Board.
