8 Article IV of this Act may, on its own motion, or shall, upon
9 the petition of the lesser of 1/10 or 2,000 of the voters
10 registered in the district, order submitted to the voters of
11 the district at the next general election the proposition for
12 the election of board members by trustee district rather than
13 at large, and such proposition shall thereupon be certified
14 by the secretary of the board to the proper election
15 authority in accordance with the general election law for
16 submission.
17 If the proposition is approved by a majority of those
18 voting on the proposition, the State Board of Elections, in
19 1991, shall reapportion the trustee districts to reflect the
20 results of the last decennial census, and shall divide the
21 community college district into 7 trustee districts, each of
22 which shall be compact, contiguous and substantially equal in
23 population to each other district. In 2001, and in the year
24 following each decennial census thereafter, the board of
25 trustees of community college District #522 shall reapportion
26 the trustee districts to reflect the results of the census,
27 and shall divide the community college district into 7
28 trustee districts, each of which shall be compact,
29 contiguous, and substantially equal in population to each
30 other district. The division of the community college
31 district into trustee districts shall be completed and
32 formally approved by a majority of the members appointed to
33 the State Board of Elections with respect to the initial
34 division of the community college district into 7 trustee
HB0652 Engrossed -30- LRB9003210MWpc
1 districts in 1991, and by a majority of the members of the
2 board of trustees of community college District #522 with
3 respect to the year following each decennial census
4 thereafter, not less than 60 days before the last date
5 established by the general election law for the submission of
6 nominating petitions for the next regularly scheduled
7 election for community college trustees. At the same meeting
8 of the board of trustees, the board shall, publicly by lot,
9 divide the trustee districts as equally as possible into 2
10 groups. Trustees or their successors from one group shall be
11 elected for successive terms of 4 years and 6 years; and
12 members or their successors from the second group shall be
13 elected for successive terms of 6 years and 4 years. One
14 member shall be elected from each such trustee district.
15 Each member must on the date of his election be a citizen
16 of the United States, of the age of 18 years or over, and a
17 resident of the State and the territory which on the date of
18 the election is included in the community college district
19 for at least one year immediately preceding his election. In
20 the event a person who is a member of a common school board
21 is elected or appointed to a board of trustees of a community
22 college district, that person shall be permitted to serve the
23 remainder of his or her term of office as a member of the
24 common school board. Upon the expiration of the common school
25 board term, that person shall not be eligible for election or
26 appointment to a common school board during the term of
27 office with the community college district board of trustees.
28 Whenever a vacancy occurs, the remaining members shall
29 fill the vacancy, and the person so appointed shall serve
30 until a successor is elected at the next regular election for
31 board members and is certified in accordance with Sections
32 22-17 and 22-18 of the Election Code. If the remaining
33 members fail so to act within 60 days after the vacancy
34 occurs, the chairman of the State Board shall fill that
HB0652 Engrossed -31- LRB9003210MWpc
1 vacancy, and the person so appointed shall serve until a
2 successor is elected at the next regular election for board
3 members and is certified in accordance with Sections 22-17
4 and 22-18 of the Election Code. The person appointed to fill
5 the vacancy shall have the same residential qualifications as
6 his predecessor in office was required to have. In either
7 instance, if the vacancy occurs with less than 4 months
8 remaining before the next scheduled consolidated nonpartisan
9 election, and the term of office of the board member vacating
10 the position is not scheduled to expire at that election,
11 then the term of the person so appointed shall extend through
12 that election and until the succeeding consolidated
13 nonpartisan election. If the term of office of the board
14 member vacating the position is scheduled to expire at the
15 upcoming consolidated nonpartisan election, the appointed
16 member shall serve only until a successor is elected and
17 qualified at that election.
18 Members of the board shall serve without compensation but
19 shall be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in
20 connection with their service as members. Compensation, for
21 purposes of this Section, means any salary or other benefits
22 not expressly authorized by this Act to be provided or paid
23 to, for or on behalf of members of the board. The board of
24 each community college district may adopt a policy providing
25 for the issuance of bank credit cards, for use by any board
26 member who requests the same in writing and agrees to use the
27 card only for the reasonable expenses which he or she incurs
28 in connection with his or her service as a board member.
29 Expenses charged to such credit cards shall be accounted for
30 separately and shall be submitted to the chief financial
31 officer of the district for review prior to being reported to
32 the board at its next regular meeting.
33 Except in an election of the initial board for a new
34 community college district created pursuant to Section 6-6.1,
HB0652 Engrossed -32- LRB9003210MWpc
1 the ballot for the election of members of the board for a
2 community college district shall indicate the length of term
3 for each office to be filled. In the election of a board for
4 any community college district, the ballot shall not contain
5 any political party designation.
