§ 30.62 VOTE REQUIRED; YEAS AND NAYS RECORDED.
   (A)   The passage of all ordinances, for whatever purpose, and of any resolution or motion to create any liability against a village or for the expenditure or appropriation of its money shall require the concurrence of a majority of all members then holding office on the Village Board, including the Mayor, unless otherwise expressly provided by the code or any other act governing the passage of any ordinance, resolution or motion.
   (B)   Where the Board consists of an odd number of Trustees, the vote of the majority of the Trustees shall be sufficient to pass an ordinance. The “yeas” and “nays” shall be taken upon the question of the passage of the designated ordinances, resolutions or motions and recorded in the journal of the Village Board.
   (C)   In addition, the corporate authorities at any meeting may by unanimous consent to take a single vote by “yeas” or “nays” on the several questions of the passage on any two or more of the designated ordinances, orders, resolutions or motions placed together for voting purposes in a single group, which single vote shall be entered separately in the journal under the designation “omnibus vote” and in such event, the Clerk may enter the words “omnibus vote” in the journal in each case in lieu of entering names of the members of Village Board voting “yea” and of those voting “nay” on the passage of each of the designated ordinances, orders, resolutions and motions included in the omnibus group.
   (D)   The taking of a single or omnibus vote and such entries of the words “omnibus vote” in the journal shall be a sufficient compliance with the requirements of this section to all intents and purposes and with like effect as if the vote in each case had been separately by “yeas” and “nays” on the question of the passage of each ordinance, order, resolution and motion included in the omnibus group and separately recorded in the journal.
   (E)   Likewise, the “yeas” and any other resolution or motion at the request of any Trustee and shall be recorded in the journal.
