business to be transacted as the trustees direct, shall be published in a newspaper
of general circulation in the Village, and shall be posted in two public places in
such Village, not more than 40 days nor less than 30 days before such meeting. Such
warning shall be recorded in the office of the Clerk before it is posted.
(b) Special meetings may at any time be called by the trustees for the transaction of
any business specified in the warning of the meeting. The trustees shall call a special
meeting upon written application and petition of not less than five percent of the
qualified voters of the Village, stating the purpose for which they wish the meeting
to be called. When the office of any one or more of the trustees is vacant, the remaining
trustees may call meetings. When there is no trustee who may call meetings, the Clerk
may call meetings. Warnings of special meetings shall be given in the same manner
as warnings for annual meetings.
