| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Park District Code is amended by changing |
| 5 | | Section 2-10a as follows:
|
| 6 | | (70 ILCS 1205/2-10a) (from Ch. 105, par. 2-10a)
|
| 7 | | Sec. 2-10a.
Any district may provide by referendum, or by |
| 8 | | resolution of
the board, that the board shall be comprised of 7 |
| 9 | | commissioners. Any such
referendum shall be initiated and held |
| 10 | | in the same manner as is provided
by the general election law.
|
| 11 | | If a majority of the votes cast on the proposition is in |
| 12 | | favor of the 7-member
board, or if the board adopts a |
| 13 | | resolution stating that it is acting pursuant
to this Section |
| 14 | | in order to create a 7-member board, then whichever of the
|
| 15 | | following transition schedules are appropriate shall be |
| 16 | | applied: At the
election of commissioners next following by at |
| 17 | | least 60 days the date on
which the proposition to create a |
| 18 | | 7-member board was approved at referendum
or by resolution, the |
| 19 | | number of commissioners to be elected shall be 2 more
than the |
| 20 | | number that would otherwise have been elected. If this results
|
| 21 | | in the election, pursuant to Section 2-12 of this Act, of 4 |
| 22 | | commissioners
at that election, one of the 4, to be determined |
| 23 | | by lot within 30 days after
the election, shall serve for a |
|
| | SB1370 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB100 05938 AWJ 15965 b |
|
|
| 1 | | term of 4 years or 2 years as the case
may be, instead of 6 |
| 2 | | years, so that his term will expire in the same year
in which |
| 3 | | the term of only one of the incumbent commissioners expires.
|
| 4 | | Thereafter
all commissioners shall be elected for 6-year terms |
| 5 | | as provided in Section
2-12. If the creation of a 7-member |
| 6 | | board results in the election of either
3 or 4 commissioners, |
| 7 | | pursuant to Section 2-12a of this Act, at that election,
2 of |
| 8 | | them, to
be determined by lot within 30 days after the |
| 9 | | election, shall serve for
terms of 2 years instead of 4 years. |
| 10 | | Thereafter all commissioners shall
be elected for 4-year terms |
| 11 | | as provided in Section 2-12a of this Act.
|
| 12 | | In any district where a 7-member board has been created |
| 13 | | pursuant to this
Section whether by referendum or by |
| 14 | | resolution, the number of commissioners
may later be reduced to |
| 15 | | 5, but only by a referendum initiated and held in
the same |
| 16 | | manner as prescribed in this Section for creating a 7-member |
| 17 | | board.
No proposition to reduce the number of commissioners |
| 18 | | shall affect the terms
of any commissioners holding office at |
| 19 | | the time of the referendum or to
be elected within 60 days of |
| 20 | | the referendum. If a majority of the votes cast on the |
| 21 | | proposition is in favor of reducing a 7-member board to a |
| 22 | | 5-member board, then, at the election of commissioners next |
| 23 | | following by at least 60 days the date on which the proposition |
| 24 | | was approved at referendum, the number of commissioners to be |
| 25 | | elected shall be 2 less than the number that would otherwise |
| 26 | | have been elected and whichever of the following transition |
|
| | SB1370 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB100 05938 AWJ 15965 b |
|
|
| 1 | | schedules are appropriate shall be applied: (i) if this results |
| 2 | | in the election of no commissioners for a 6-year term pursuant |
| 3 | | to Section 2-12 of this Act, then at the next election in which |
| 4 | | 3 commissioners are scheduled to be elected to 6-year terms as |
| 5 | | provided in Section 2-12, one of the 3, to be determined by lot |
| 6 | | within 30 days after the election, shall serve for a term of 4 |
| 7 | | years or 2 years, as the case may be, instead of 6 years, so |
| 8 | | that his or her term will expire in the same year in which the |
| 9 | | term of no incumbent commissioner is scheduled to expire; |
| 10 | | thereafter, all commissioners shall be elected for 6-year terms |
| 11 | | as provided in Section 2-12; or (ii) if the reduction to a |
| 12 | | 5-member board results in the election of one commissioner to a |
| 13 | | 4-year term, pursuant to Section 2-12a of this Act, then at the |
| 14 | | next election in which 4 commissioners are scheduled to be |
| 15 | | elected to 4-year terms as provided in Section 2-12a, one of |
| 16 | | the 4, to be determined by lot within 30 days after the |
| 17 | | election, shall serve for a term of 2 years, instead of 4 |
| 18 | | years, so that his or her term will expire in the same year in |
| 19 | | which the term of only one incumbent commissioner is scheduled |
| 20 | | to expire; thereafter, all commissioners shall be elected for |
| 21 | | 4-year terms as provided in Section 2-12a.

| 24 | | becoming law.
