The governing body of the municipality may, in its discretion, by ordinance combine and merge any elective or appointive office or employment, except Village Trustee, with any other elective, or appointive offices so that one or more of such offices may be held by the officer or employee at the same time, except that Trustees may perform and upon Board approval, receive compensation for seasonal or emergency work so long as there is no conflict of interest for such compensation. The offices so merged and combined shall always be construed to be separate, and the effect of the combination or merger shall be limited to a consolidation of official duties only; and provided further, the salary of the officer holding the merged offices shall not be in excess of the maximum amount provided by law for the salary of the offices so combined. For purposes of this section, volunteer firefighters and ambulance drivers shall not be considered officers.
