(2) The meeting shall be warned by posting in three public places in the Village, at least 12 days prior to the meeting, a notice calling the meeting and containing a statement of business to be transacted thereat. The notice shall be signed by the Clerk of the Village, or in case of his or her failure or neglect, by the Trustees.

(c) Any business may be transacted at an adjourned meeting, which under the warning might have been transacted at the original meeting.

(d) In all meetings of the Village, none but the residents thereof qualified by law to vote in Village meetings shall be entitled to vote. (Amended 2015, No. M-13 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. Feb. 24, 2016.)
