The Village of Howards Grove is a body corporate and politic
with the powers of a municipality at common law and governed by the
provisions of Chapters 61 and 66 of the Wisconsin Statutes, laws amending
those chapters, other acts of the Legislature and the Constitution
of the State of Wisconsin.
The Trustees of the Village of Howards Grove 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.
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 President and other Trustees who make up the Village
Board, whether operating under general or special law, may by majority
vote of all the members of the Village Board determine that a salary
be paid the President, Trustees, and other Village officials and employees.
The salaries and compensation to be paid to Village officers and employees
shall be annually determined by resolution of the Village Board. Salaries
heretofore established shall so remain until changed by adoption of
the salary schedule and shall not be increased or diminished during
their terms of office.
Any member voting on the prevailing side may move for reconsideration
of any question except those which cannot be reconsidered pursuant
to Robert's Rules of Order, Revised.
Whenever any disturbance or disorderly conduct shall occur in
any of the meetings of the Board, the President may cause the room
to be cleared of all persons causing such disorderly conduct.
The rules of §§
130-17 through
130-19 shall not be rescinded or amended unless the proposed amendment or motion to rescind has laid over from a regular meeting, and then it shall require a vote of 2/3 of all the members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 shall not be suspended except by a two-thirds vote
of all the members of the Board.
