Membership may consist of seats appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Village Board, elected seats (such as the Firefighters Pension Board - of which two seats are elected by firefighters), or are codified in Chapter 5 (such as the Fire Chief serving on the Firefighters Pension Board). Refer to the specific Board/Commission page or Chapter 5 for more details on membership.
