(Modified upon denial of rehearing 12/29/17.) Village council had authority to remove Plaintiff from board of trustees for Village's public library prior to expiration of his 6-year term. Section 2.53.1(d) of Village code, as applied to Village library trustees, is a valid exercise of the Village's home-rule powers. As Plaintiff did not show likelihood of success on the merits, court properly denied his request for a preliminary injunction barring Village from removing Plaintiff.(HUTCHINSON and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
