At said meeting, the Board of Trustees shall appoint a Town Clerk, Treasurer, Traffic Engineer, Police Magistrate, Town Police Chief, Town Attorney and such other officers as the Board may deem necessary, for a term of two years. The Board shall choose a Clerk Pro Tem to perform the duties of the Town Clerk during his or her absence or inability to act.
