105.01  THE GOVERNING BODY.
    State law sets up the basic form of the municipal governing body. It consists of a mayor, recorder and council members, with each of the officers having a vote. When the municipality has not been divided into wards or election districts, there must be at least five council members. The Town of Eleanor is authorized to establish additional elective offices by ordinance, and may determine the offices or positions which are to be filled by appointment or employment.
(Ord. 05-07.  Passed 10-20-05.)
105.02  TERMS OF OFFICE.
   All officers serve two-year terms in the Town of Eleanor if holding biennial elections, and four-year terms in the Town of Eleanor if holding quadrennial elections. Terms may be increased from two to four years by approval by a majority of votes cast in a regularly scheduled election of the Town of Eleanor. The officers may be elected to the longer terms at the same election in which the amendment or proposition for four years terms is passed, providing the ballot labels for the officers so indicate. 
(Ord. 05-07.  Passed 10-20-05.)
