General law village must have a president elected by the village electors, but can have an appointed clerk and treasurer instead of an elected clerk and treasurer. The village council may establish additional officers of the village such as a village manager, who is appointed by the president with the council's consent. Besides the president, clerk and treasurer the village council may have either four or six trustees with six as the default number. Villages under the act elect three trustees annually for two-year terms with a president elected annually. However, they have the option to elected three trustess for four-year terms or all six biennially for two-year terms. Reducing the number of trustees to four, appointing the clerk and treasurer or createing the position of village manager takes a village ordinance approved by a two-thirds majority of the council subject to referendum. Additional village boards, both appointed and ex officio, can include the boards of registration, election commissioners, election inspectors and cemetery trustees.
