(A) The Mayor shall sign all village warrants, commissions, permits and licenses granted by authority of the Village Board, except as otherwise provided, and such other acts and deeds as law or ordinance may require his or her official signature.
(B) The Mayor may designate another to affix his or her signature to any written instrument that requires the Mayor’s signature. The Mayor must send written nonce of this designation to the Village Board stating:
(1) The name of the person whom he or she has selected; and
(2) What instrument the person will have authority to sign.
(C) A written signature of the Mayor executed by the person so designated with the signature underneath the signature of the person so designated shall be attached to the notice. The notice with the signature attached shall be recorded in the journal of the Village Board and then filed with the Village Clerk. When the signature of the Mayor is placed on a written instrument at the direction of the Mayor in the specified manner, the instrument, in all respects, shall be as binding on the village as if signed by the Mayor in person.
