(A) The Mayor may appoint a Deputy Clerk, with the advice and consent of the Board of Trustees. The Deputy Clerk shall not be required to be a qualified elector of the village. The Deputy Clerk may affix the seal of the Village Clerk wherever required and attest to all ordinances, resolutions, licenses, permits or other documents, which the Village Clerk is authorized to attest.
(B) The duties of the Village Clerk shall be exercised by the Deputy Clerk in the absence of the Village Clerk from the place where the Village Clerk's office is maintained, and only when either written direction has been given by the Village Clerk to the Deputy Clerk to exercise such duties or when the corporate authorities have determined by resolution that the Village Clerk is temporarily or permanently incapacitated to perform that function or that a vacancy exists in the office of Village Clerk. When a Deputy's signature is duly authorized as provided in this section and is affixed by the Deputy Clerk in the manner prescribed in this section on any document (including but not limited to ordinances, resolutions, licenses, permits, contracts, bonds, or other documents of the village), the document shall have the same effect as if the document had been signed by the Village Clerk in person.
