(605 ILCS 5/6-105) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-105)
Sec. 6-105.
The county board in counties not under township organization
shall have full and complete power and jurisdiction to alter the boundaries
of road districts, create new road districts and to consolidate road districts
in their respective counties to suit the convenience of the inhabitants
residing therein, but no such change shall be made or new road district
created under the provisions of this Code unless at least 20 of the legal
voters of such road district petition for such alteration or creation of
a new road district or 20 legal voters from each of the districts to be
consolidated petition for such consolidation; nor shall such alteration
or creation of a new road district or consolidation be made by such county
board without notice thereof having been given by posting up notices in
not less than 5 of the most public places in each of the several road districts
interested in such proposed alteration or creation of a new road district
or for the consolidation of road districts. Provided, however, that where
a city council or board of trustees of a municipality has, by resolution
as above provided in Section 6-104, requested that the county board organize
the territory embraced within such municipality into a road district or
where the territory embraced in a municipality has been heretofore or may
hereafter be organized into a road district and territory is disconnected
from or added to such road district as provided in Section 6-104, a petition
signed by the legal voters of such road district shall not be required and
no notice of such proposed alteration or creation need be given but changes
in boundaries shall be made by the county board as provided in Section 6-104.
When a new road district is created or a new district is created by consolidation
as provided in this Section, such new districts from creation or the time
of consolidation become districts for the purpose of nominating and electing
officers at the next regular election held for election
of road district officers, and after said election and election of officers,
become districts for all purposes. Until such election and the qualification
of the officers elected, the officers of the districts consolidated into
one district shall hold office, and perform their respective duties as to
each district. When a new district is created, not being a consolidated
district, the officers of the district or districts, from parts of which
the new district is formed, shall perform their respective duties as to
the territory in the new district, taken from their district, until the
next regular election for officers of road districts and
the election and qualification of officers for the new district.
