21    Sec. 3.1-10-50. Events upon which an elective office
22becomes vacant in municipality with population under 500,000.
23    (a) Vacancy by resignation. A resignation is not effective
24unless it is in writing, signed by the person holding the
25elective office, and notarized.

 

 

HB0045- 56 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1        (1) Unconditional resignation. An unconditional
2    resignation by a person holding the elective office may
3    specify a future date, not later than 60 days after the
4    date the resignation is received by the officer authorized
5    to fill the vacancy, at which time it becomes operative,
6    but the resignation may not be withdrawn after it is
7    received by the officer authorized to fill the vacancy.
8    The effective date of a resignation that does not specify
9    a future date at which it becomes operative is the date the
10    resignation is received by the officer authorized to fill
11    the vacancy. The effective date of a resignation that has
12    a specified future effective date is that specified future
13    date or the date the resignation is received by the
14    officer authorized to fill the vacancy, whichever date
15    occurs later.
16        (2) Conditional resignation. A resignation that does
17    not become effective unless a specified event occurs can
18    be withdrawn at any time prior to the occurrence of the
19    specified event, but if not withdrawn, the effective date
20    of the resignation is the date of the occurrence of the
21    specified event or the date the resignation is received by
22    the officer authorized to fill the vacancy, whichever date
23    occurs later.
24        (3) Vacancy upon the effective date. For the purpose
25    of determining the time period that would require an
26    election to fill the vacancy by resignation or the

 

 

HB0045- 57 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1    commencement of the 60-day time period referred to in
2    subsection (e), the resignation of an elected officer is
3    deemed to have created a vacancy as of the effective date
4    of the resignation.
5        (4) Duty of the clerk. If a resignation is delivered
6    to the clerk of the municipality, the clerk shall forward
7    a certified copy of the written resignation to the
8    official who is authorized to fill the vacancy within 7
9    business days after receipt of the resignation.
10    (b) Vacancy by death or disability. A vacancy occurs in an
11office by reason of the death of the incumbent. The date of the
12death may be established by the date shown on the death
13certificate. A vacancy occurs in an office by permanent
14physical or mental disability rendering the person incapable
15of performing the duties of the office. The corporate
16authorities have the authority to make the determination
17whether an officer is incapable of performing the duties of
18the office because of a permanent physical or mental
19disability. A finding of mental disability shall not be made
20prior to the appointment by a court of a guardian ad litem for
21the officer or until a duly licensed doctor certifies, in
22writing, that the officer is mentally impaired to the extent
23that the officer is unable to effectively perform the duties
24of the office. If the corporate authorities find that an
25officer is incapable of performing the duties of the office
26due to permanent physical or mental disability, that person is

 

 

HB0045- 58 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1removed from the office and the vacancy of the office occurs on
2the date of the determination.
3    (c) Vacancy by other causes.
4        (1) Abandonment and other causes. A vacancy occurs in
5    an office by reason of abandonment of office; removal from
6    office; or failure to qualify; or more than temporary
7    removal of residence from the municipality; or in the case
8    of an alderperson alderman of a ward or councilman or
9    trustee of a district, more than temporary removal of
10    residence from the ward or district, as the case may be.
11    The corporate authorities have the authority to determine
12    whether a vacancy under this subsection has occurred. If
13    the corporate authorities determine that a vacancy exists,
14    the office is deemed vacant as of the date of that
15    determination for all purposes including the calculation
16    under subsections (e), (f), and (g).
17        (2) Guilty of a criminal offense. An admission of
18    guilt of a criminal offense that upon conviction would
19    disqualify the municipal officer from holding the office,
20    in the form of a written agreement with State or federal
21    prosecutors to plead guilty to a felony, bribery, perjury,
22    or other infamous crime under State or federal law,
23    constitutes a resignation from that office, effective on
24    the date the plea agreement is made. For purposes of this
25    Section, a conviction for an offense that disqualifies a
26    municipal officer from holding that office occurs on the

 

 

HB0045- 59 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1    date of the return of a guilty verdict or, in the case of a
2    trial by the court, on the entry of a finding of guilt.
3        (3) Election declared void. A vacancy occurs on the
4    date of the decision of a competent tribunal declaring the
5    election of the officer void.
6        (4) Owing a debt to the municipality. A vacancy occurs
7    if a municipal official fails to pay a debt to a
8    municipality in which the official has been elected or
9    appointed to an elected position subject to the following:
10            (A) Before a vacancy may occur under this
11        paragraph (4), the municipal clerk shall deliver, by
12        personal service, a written notice to the municipal
13        official that (i) the municipal official is in arrears
14        of a debt to the municipality, (ii) that municipal
15        official must either pay or contest the debt within 30
16        days after receipt of the notice or the municipal
17        official will be disqualified and his or her office
18        vacated, and (iii) if the municipal official chooses
19        to contest the debt, the municipal official must
20        provide written notice to the municipal clerk of the
21        contesting of the debt. A copy of the notice, and the
22        notice to contest, shall also be mailed by the
23        municipal clerk to the appointed municipal attorney by
24        certified mail. If the municipal clerk is the
25        municipal official indebted to the municipality, the
26        mayor or president of the municipality shall assume

 

 

HB0045- 60 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1        the duties of the municipal clerk required under this
2        paragraph (4).
3            (B) In the event that the municipal official
4        chooses to contest the debt, a hearing shall be held
5        within 30 days of the municipal clerk's receipt of the

9        evidence relevant to the existence of the debt owed by
10        the municipal officer to the municipality.
11            (C) Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the
12        hearing officer shall make a determination on the
13        basis of the evidence presented as to whether or not
14        the municipal official is in arrears of a debt to the
15        municipality. The determination shall be in writing
16        and shall be designated as findings, decision, and
17        order. The findings, decision, and order shall
18        include: (i) the hearing officer's findings of fact;
19        (ii) a decision of whether or not the municipal
20        official is in arrears of a debt to the municipality
21        based upon the findings of fact; and (iii) an order
22        that either directs the municipal official to pay the
23        debt within 30 days or be disqualified and his or her
24        office vacated or dismisses the matter if a debt owed
25        to the municipality is not proved. A copy of the
26        hearing officer's written determination shall be

 

 

HB0045- 61 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1        served upon the municipal official in open proceedings
2        before the hearing officer. If the municipal official
3        does not appear for receipt of the written
4        determination, the written determination shall be
5        deemed to have been served on the municipal official
6        on the date when a copy of the written determination is
7        personally served on the municipal official or on the
8        date when a copy of the written determination is
9        deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
10        addressed to the municipal official at the address on
11        record with the municipality.
12            (D) A municipal official aggrieved by the
13        determination of a hearing officer may secure judicial
14        review of such determination in the circuit court of
15        the county in which the hearing was held. The
16        municipal official seeking judicial review must file a
17        petition with the clerk of the court and must serve a
18        copy of the petition upon the municipality by
19        registered or certified mail within 5 days after
20        service of the determination of the hearing officer.
21        The petition shall contain a brief statement of the
22        reasons why the determination of the hearing officer
23        should be reversed. The municipal official shall file
24        proof of service with the clerk of the court. No answer
25        to the petition need be filed, but the municipality
26        shall cause the record of proceedings before the

 

 

HB0045- 62 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1        hearing officer to be filed with the clerk of the court
2        on or before the date of the hearing on the petition or
3        as ordered by the court. The court shall set the matter
4        for hearing to be held within 30 days after the filing
5        of the petition and shall make its decision promptly
6        after such hearing.
7            (E) If a municipal official chooses to pay the
8        debt, or is ordered to pay the debt after the hearing,
9        the municipal official must present proof of payment
10        to the municipal clerk that the debt was paid in full,
11        and, if applicable, within the required time period as
12        ordered by a hearing officer or circuit court judge.
13            (F) A municipal official will be disqualified and
14        his or her office vacated pursuant to this paragraph
15        (4) on the later of the following times if the

19        the debt within 30 days after being served with a
20        written determination under subparagraph (C) ordering

23        a decision pursuant to subparagraph (D) upholding a
24        hearing officer's determination that the municipal
25        officer has failed to pay a debt owed to a
26        municipality.

 

 

HB0045- 63 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1            (G) For purposes of this paragraph, a "debt" shall
2        mean an arrearage in a definitely ascertainable and
3        quantifiable amount after service of written notice
4        thereof, in the payment of any indebtedness due to the
5        municipality, which has been adjudicated before a
6        tribunal with jurisdiction over the matter. A
7        municipal official is considered in arrears of a debt
8        to a municipality if a debt is more than 30 days
9        overdue from the date the debt was due.
10    (d) Election of an acting mayor or acting president. The
11election of an acting mayor or acting president pursuant to
12subsection (f) or (g) does not create a vacancy in the original

14the case may be, unless the person resigns from the original
15office following election as acting mayor or acting president.

19Section and the acting mayor or acting president shall
20exercise the powers of the mayor or president and shall vote
21and have veto power in the manner provided by law for a mayor

25powers of the mayor or president but shall be entitled to vote
26only in the manner provided for as the holder of the original

 

 

HB0045- 64 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

2not resign from the original office following election as
3acting mayor or acting president, and if that person's
4original term of office has not expired when a mayor or
5president is elected and has qualified for office, the acting
6mayor or acting-president shall return to the original office
7for the remainder of the term thereof.

17to receive the advice and consent of the corporate authorities
18within 30 days, the mayor or president or acting mayor or
19acting president shall appoint and forward to the corporate
20authorities a second qualified person as described in Section
213.1-10-5. Once the appointment of the second qualified person
22has been forwarded to the corporate authorities, the corporate
23authorities shall act upon the appointment within 30 days. If
24the appointment of the second qualified person also fails to
25receive the advice and consent of the corporate authorities,
26then the mayor or president or acting mayor or acting

 

 

HB0045- 65 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1president, without the advice and consent of the corporate
2authorities, may make a temporary appointment from those
3persons who were appointed but whose appointments failed to
4receive the advice and consent of the corporate authorities.
5The person receiving the temporary appointment shall serve
6until an appointment has received the advice and consent and
7the appointee has qualified or until a person has been elected
8and has qualified, whichever first occurs.

17this purpose, the municipal clerk shall certify the office to
18be filled and the candidates for the office to the proper
19election authorities as provided in the general election law.

12    as acting mayor or acting president. Except as set forth
13    in subsection (d), the acting mayor or acting president
14    shall perform the duties and possess all the rights and
15    powers of the mayor or president until a mayor or
16    president is elected at the next general municipal
17    election and has qualified. However, in villages with a
18    population of less than 5,000, if each of the trustees
19    either declines the election as acting president or is not

1    (a) Events upon which an elective office in a municipality
2of 500,000 or more shall become vacant:
3        (1) A municipal officer may resign from office. A
4    vacancy occurs in an office by reason of resignation,
5    failure to elect or qualify (in which case the incumbent

1municipality, whether incorporated by special act or under any
2general law, determine that the public interest will be
3subserved by vacating any street or alley, or part thereof,
4within their jurisdiction in any incorporated area, they may
5vacate that street or alley, or part thereof, by an ordinance.
6The ordinance shall provide the legal description or permanent
7index number of the particular parcel or parcels of property
8acquiring title to the vacated property. But this ordinance
9shall be passed by the affirmative vote of at least
10three-fourths of the alderpersons aldermen, trustees or
11commissioners then holding office. This vote shall be taken by
12ayes and noes and entered on the records of the corporate
13authorities.
14    No ordinance shall be passed vacating any street or alley
15under a municipality's jurisdiction and within an
16unincorporated area without notice thereof and a hearing
17thereon. At least 15 days prior to such a hearing, notice of
18its time, place and subject matter shall be published in a
19newspaper of general circulation within the unincorporated
20area which the street or alley proposed for vacation serves.
21At the hearing all interested persons shall be heard
22concerning the proposal for vacation.
23    The ordinance may provide that it shall not become
24effective until the owners of all property or the owner or
25owners of a particular parcel or parcels of property abutting
26upon the street or alley, or part thereof so vacated, shall pay

 

 

HB0045- 173 -LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b

1compensation in an amount which, in the judgment of the
2corporate authorities, shall be the fair market value of the
3property acquired or of the benefits which will accrue to them
4by reason of that vacation, and if there are any public service
5facilities in such street or alley, or part thereof, the
6ordinance shall also reserve to the municipality or to the
7public utility, as the case may be, owning such facilities,
8such property, rights of way and easements as, in the judgment
9of the corporate authorities, are necessary or desirable for
10continuing public service by means of those facilities and for
11the maintenance, renewal and reconstruction thereof. If the
12ordinance provides that only the owner or owners of one
13particular parcel of abutting property shall make payment,
14then the owner or owners of the particular parcel shall
15acquire title to the entire vacated street or alley, or the
16part thereof vacated.
17    The determination of the corporate authorities that the
18nature and extent of the public use or public interest to be
19subserved in such as to warrant the vacation of any street or
20alley, or part thereof, is conclusive, and the passage of such
21an ordinance is sufficient evidence of that determination,
22whether so recited in the ordinance or not. The relief to the
23public from further burden and responsibility of maintaining
24any street or alley, or part thereof, constitutes a public use
25or public interest authorizing the vacation.
