| |||||||
| 1 | AN ACT concerning government.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Metro-East Sanitary District Act of 1974 is | ||||||
| 5 | amended by changing Sections 3-1 and 3-3 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (70 ILCS 2905/3-1) (from Ch. 42, par. 503-1)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 3-1.
The district shall be governed by a Board of | ||||||
| 8 | Commissioners, consisting
of 5 commissioners. Two Three of the | ||||||
| 9 | commissioners shall be residents of that
portion of the | ||||||
| 10 | district in the county having the greater equalized assessed
| ||||||
| 11 | valuation of the district, and 2 shall be residents of that | ||||||
| 12 | portion of the
district in the other county. The appointment of | ||||||
| 13 | commissioners from each
county shall be made by the chairman of | ||||||
| 14 | the county board of that county
with the advice and consent of | ||||||
| 15 | the county board, except that in the case of
a home rule county | ||||||
| 16 | as defined by Article VII, Section 6, of the
Constitution of | ||||||
| 17 | 1970 the appointment shall be made by the chief executive
| ||||||
| 18 | officer of the county with the advice and consent of the county | ||||||
| 19 | board. Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
| 20 | of the 100th General Assembly, the mayor of the largest | ||||||
| 21 | municipality in the county having the greater equalized | ||||||
| 22 | assessed
valuation of the district shall be an ex officio | ||||||
| 23 | commissioner. If there is not a vacant commissioner position | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | from the county having the greater equalized assessed valuation | ||||||
| 2 | on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th | ||||||
| 3 | General Assembly, then the term of the last appointed | ||||||
| 4 | commissioner from that county is terminated on the effective | ||||||
| 5 | date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
| ||||||
| 6 | The appointed commissioners from each county may not be | ||||||
| 7 | from the same political party. Of the 5 commissioners, no more | ||||||
| 8 | than 3 may be of the same political
party. Of the 3 | ||||||
| 9 | commissioners from the county entitled to 3 appointments,
no | ||||||
| 10 | more than 2 may be of the same political party. The 2 | ||||||
| 11 | commissioners from
the other county shall not be of the same | ||||||
| 12 | political party.
| ||||||
| 13 | The County Board Chairman of either county may remove any | ||||||
| 14 | of the appointed commissioners
from his or her county
with the | ||||||
| 15 | advice and consent of the county board.
| ||||||
| 16 | In the first appointments to the Board of Commissioners, | ||||||
| 17 | the appointing
authority appointing 3 directors shall | ||||||
| 18 | designate one appointee to serve for
a term of one year, one | ||||||
| 19 | for a term of 3 years and one for a term of 5
years, and the | ||||||
| 20 | appointing authority appointing 2 directors shall designate
| ||||||
| 21 | one to serve for a term of 2 years and one for a term of 4 | ||||||
| 22 | years.
Thereafter one commissioner shall be appointed by the | ||||||
| 23 | appropriate
appointing authority each year for a term of 5 | ||||||
| 24 | years to succeed the
director whose term expires in that year. | ||||||
| 25 | Any vacancy on the Board of
Commissioners shall be filled by | ||||||
| 26 | appointment by the appropriate appointing
authority for the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | remainder of the unexpired term.
| ||||||
| 2 | For the purpose of determining the ex officio commissioner, | ||||||
| 3 | the county having the greater equalized assessed
valuation of | ||||||
| 4 | the district shall be established on January 1 of each year, | ||||||
| 5 | and the ex officio commissioner shall serve until January 1 of | ||||||
| 6 | the following year. If the relative equalized assessed | ||||||
| 7 | valuation changes so that the
position of the 2 counties with | ||||||
| 8 | respect to majority and minority
representation on the board is | ||||||
| 9 | reversed, the next appointment that would
otherwise have been | ||||||
| 10 | made by the appointing authority for the county
formerly | ||||||
| 11 | entitled to 3 directors shall be made by the appointing | ||||||
| 12 | authority
for the other county.

(a) The board of commissioners shall be the | ||||||
| 16 | corporate
authority of the district. The board shall appoint an | ||||||
| 17 | Executive Director
who shall be the chief executive and | ||||||
| 18 | administrative officer of the district
and who shall have the | ||||||
| 19 | powers provided in Article 4 of this Act. The Executive | ||||||
| 20 | Director shall be a resident of the district.
| ||||||

| ||||||
| 22 | The board shall, at its first meeting each year, select a | ||||||
