(A) No Trustee of the village, during the term of office for which he or she is elected, may accept or be appointed to or hold any office appointed by the Mayor except if such Trustee is granted a leave of absence from such office or unless he or she first resigns from the office of Trustee, or unless the holding of another office is authorized by law. The Trustee may, however, serve as a volunteer firefighter and receive compensation for that service. The Trustee may also serve as a Commissioner of the Beardstown Regional Flood Prevention District Board. Any appointment in violation of this section is void. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an elected municipal official from holding elected office in another unit of local government as long as there is no contractual relationship between the village and the other unit of local government. This amendatory Act of 1995 is declarative of existing law and is not a new enactment.
(B) A Mayor, Trustee, Village Clerk or Village Treasurer shall not hold any other office under the municipal government during the term of that office, except when the officer is granted a leave of absence from that office or except as otherwise provided in 65 ILCS 5/3.1-10-50, 5/3.1-35-135, and 5/8-2-9.1. Moreover, an officer may serve as a volunteer firefighter and receive compensation for that service.
(C) Note: one member may serve on the Library Board.
