§ 2-30. Voting procedure.
(a)
Mode of voting. A roll call vote is not required as to any action taken by the village board, except as required by Wisconsin Statutes or except when requested by any board member entitled to vote on any motion or question presented to the board for deliberation or decision. The village president may request a roll call vote at his or her discretion.
(b)
Abstention. Any member may formally decline to vote either for or against a proposal or motion. An abstention is not a vote and is not counted as a vote.
(c)
Recusal.
(1)
A board member shall not participate in discussion or debate and shall not vote on any proposed ordinance, order, resolution, or proposition in which he or she has a direct pecuniary or personal interest not common to the other members of the board.
(2)
A board member who is required by law to [be] recuse[d] from participation and voting on any particular matter shall not be counted for determining:
a.
The number of members present, if passage of that measure requires a favorable vote by a majority or other fractional vote (i.e. two-thirds or three-quarters) of the members present; or
b.
The presence of a quorum for purposes of that particular vote.
