(1) The trustees of any statutory
town may be reduced in number from six to four or again increased from four to six
in the manner provided in this section.

(2) When a petition signed by five percent of the registered electors of the
town requesting an election for the purpose of reducing the number of trustees
from six to four is presented to the board of trustees of the town or when the board
determines by majority vote of the entire board that such a reduction in the size of
the board would be in the interest of the town, the board shall adopt an ordinance
calling for such an election, to be held within four calendar months from the date of
presentation of the petition.

(3) Such election may be held in connection with any regular or special
election. In the event that the issue is approved at the election, three members of
the board of trustees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and
the legislative and corporate authority of the town shall be vested in the board of
trustees consisting of one mayor and four trustees. The approval of a change
reducing the number of trustees from six to four shall not have the effect of
reducing the term for which any member of the board of trustees was previously
elected.

(4) Where the number of trustees has been reduced from six to four, an
election on the issue of increasing the number of trustees from four to six may be
held at any time subsequent to two years following the election reducing the
number of trustees from six to four. No new petition requesting an election to
reduce or increase the number of trustees on the board of trustees may be filed or
accepted by the board, nor may the board refer any such issue to the voters, for a
period of two years following an election for the purpose of increasing or reducing
the number of trustees.
