A. Quorum: A majority of the corporate authorities shall constitute a quorum to do business. A smaller number, however, may adjourn from time to time and may compel the attendance of absentees. (1995 Code § 1.204(a))
B. Compelling Attendance: In the case of the want of a quorum, if a majority of the corporate authorities present shall direct, the president or the presiding officer shall direct a police officer to go out and arrest and bring in any and all absent members who can be found in the village who are not unable through illness to attend. Any member who purposely absents himself from the village to avoid attending a meeting of the board or, being in the village, conceals himself from such officer or refuses to be brought in when found, shall be deemed guilty of disorderly conduct and be subject to a fine of twenty five dollars ($25.00) for each such offense. The board may, upon a vote of two-thirds (2/3) thereof, expel such member, in which event, his seat shall be deemed vacant and be filled in accordance with law. (1995 Code § 1.204(b))
