(a) Holding other office. Except where authorized by law, no trustee shall hold any other Village office or employment during the term for which he or she was elected to the trustees, and no former trustee shall hold any compensated appointive Village office or employment until one year after the expiration of the term for which he or she was elected to the trustees. This prohibition shall not preclude a former trustee from accepting appointment to the Village Planning Commission or Zoning Board of Adjustment immediately following expiration of his or her elected term.

(b) Appointments and removals. Neither the Board of Trustees nor any of its members shall in any manner dictate the appointment or removal of any Village administrative officers or employees whom the Manager or any of his or her subordinates are empowered to appoint, but the Board of Trustees may express its views and fully and freely discuss with the Manager anything pertaining to appointment and removal of such officers and employees.

(c) Interference with administration. Except for the purpose of evaluating the Manager's performance or for the purpose of inquiries and investigations under section 2.06, the Board of Trustees or its members shall deal with Village officers and employees who are subject to the direction and supervision of the Manager solely through the Manager, and neither the Board of Trustees nor its members shall give orders to any such officer or employee, either publicly or privately. (Amended 2013, No. M-6, § 2, eff. May 20, 2013.)
