§ 3-304 Changing number of trustees. The board of trustees by
resolution or local law, subject to permissive referendum, may change
the number of trustees. Such action shall be in accordance with the
following:
a. If the number of trustees be increased, the additional trustees
shall be elected at the next general village election when trustees are
regularly scheduled to be elected. At that election half of the
additional trustees shall be elected for a single term equal to half of
the full term for which said office is regularly scheduled to be filled
and the other half for a full such term. At all subsequent general
village elections such offices shall be filled for full terms.
b. If the number of trustees be reduced, no trustees shall be elected,
other than to fill an unexpired term, until by expiration of terms of
office the number of trustees in office shall equal that prescribed by
such resolution. Thereafter at the next general village election
one-half of such prescribed number of trustees shall be elected for a
single term equal to half of the full term for which said office is
regularly scheduled to be filled and the other half of such trustees
shall be elected for a full term. At all subsequent general village
elections such offices shall be filled for full terms.
