§ 2.08.130. Call of member to order, disorderly conduct and expulsion.  


Latest version.
  • A member, when called to order by the chair, shall thereupon discontinue speaking and take his or her seat, and the order of ruling by the chair shall be binding and conclusive, subject only to the right of appeal. Any member who fails to come to order after two warnings during a single meeting may be charged by the chair with disorderly conduct. By concurrence of two-thirds of the trustees then holding office, the trustee charged with disorderly conduct may be determined to have committed the offense and shall pay within seven days thereafter to the village treasurer the sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00). A member who fails to come to order upon a third call at a meeting, upon concurrence with two-thirds of the trustees then holding office, shall pay an additional one hundred dollars ($100.00) and shall be expelled from said meeting. Such amounts, if not paid, may be recovered in a civil proceeding. The warnings are not limited to individual subjects or speaking occurrences but instead shall apply to the meeting as a whole.
