SB1485eng 103RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY |
| | SB1485 Engrossed | | LRB103 04869 AWJ 49879 b |
|
| 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 | | Sections 2-10a and 2-12a 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 197 60 days after the date on
which the proposition to | 18 | | create a 7-member board was approved at referendum
or by | 19 | | resolution, the number of commissioners to be elected shall be | 20 | | 2 more
than the number that would otherwise have been elected. | 21 | | If this results
in the election, pursuant to Section 2-12 of | 22 | | this Act, of 4 commissioners
at that election, one of the 4, to | 23 | | be determined by lot within 30 days after
the election, shall |
| | | SB1485 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB103 04869 AWJ 49879 b |
|
| 1 | | serve for a term of 4 years or 2 years as the case
may be, | 2 | | instead of 6 years, so that his term will expire in the same | 3 | | year
in which the term of only one of the incumbent | 4 | | commissioners expires.
Thereafter
all commissioners shall be | 5 | | elected for 6-year terms as provided in Section
2-12. If the | 6 | | creation of a 7-member board results in the election of either
| 7 | | 3 or 4 commissioners, pursuant to Section 2-12a of this Act, at | 8 | | that election,
2 of them, to
be determined by lot within 30 | 9 | | days after the election, shall serve for
terms of 2 years | 10 | | instead of 4 years. Thereafter all commissioners shall
be | 11 | | elected for 4-year terms as provided in Section 2-12a of this | 12 | | Act.
| 13 | | In any district where a 7-member board has been created | 14 | | pursuant to this
Section whether by referendum or by | 15 | | resolution, the number of commissioners
may later be reduced | 16 | | to 5, but only by a referendum initiated and held in
the same | 17 | | manner as prescribed in this Section for creating a 7-member | 18 | | board.
No proposition to reduce the number of commissioners | 19 | | shall affect the terms
of any commissioners holding office at | 20 | | the time of the referendum or to
be elected within 197 60 days | 21 | | after of the referendum. If a majority of the votes cast on the | 22 | | proposition is in favor of reducing a 7-member board to a | 23 | | 5-member board, then, at the election of commissioners next | 24 | | following by at least 197 60 days after the date on which the | 25 | | proposition was approved at referendum, the number of | 26 | | commissioners to be elected shall be 2 less than the number |
| | | SB1485 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB103 04869 AWJ 49879 b |
|
| 1 | | that would otherwise have been elected and whichever of the | 2 | | following transition schedules are appropriate shall be | 3 | | applied: (i) if this results in the election of no | 4 | | commissioners for a 6-year term pursuant to Section 2-12 of | 5 | | this Act, then at the next election in which 3 commissioners | 6 | | are scheduled to be elected to 6-year terms as provided in | 7 | | Section 2-12, one of the 3, to be determined by lot within 30 | 8 | | days after the election, shall serve for a term of 4 years or 2 | 9 | | years, as the case may be, instead of 6 years, so that his or | 10 | | her term will expire in the same year in which the term of no | 11 | | incumbent commissioner is scheduled to expire; thereafter, all | 12 | | commissioners shall be elected for 6-year terms as provided in | 13 | | Section 2-12; or (ii) if the reduction to a 5-member board | 14 | | results in the election of one commissioner to a 4-year term, | 15 | | pursuant to Section 2-12a of this Act, then at the next | 16 | | election in which 4 commissioners are scheduled to be elected | 17 | | to 4-year terms as provided in Section 2-12a, one of the 4, to | 18 | | be determined by lot within 30 days after the election, shall | 19 | | serve for a term of 2 years, instead of 4 years, so that his or | 20 | | her term will expire in the same year in which the term of only | 21 | | one incumbent commissioner is scheduled to expire; thereafter, | 22 | | all commissioners shall be elected for 4-year terms as | 23 | | provided in Section 2-12a.

|
| 1 | | Sec. 2-12a.
Any district may provide, either by resolution | 2 | | of the board
or by referendum, that the term of commissioners | 3 | | shall be 4 years rather
than 6 years. Any such referendum shall | 4 | | be initiated and held in the same
manner as is provided by the | 5 | | general election law for public questions
authorized by | 6 | | Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
| 7 | | If a majority of the votes cast on the proposition is in | 8 | | favor of a 4-year
term for commissioners, or if the Board | 9 | | adopts a resolution stating that
it is acting pursuant to this | 10 | | Section to change the term of office from
6 years to 4 years, | 11 | | commissioners thereafter elected, commencing with the
first | 12 | | regular park district election at least 197 60 days after the | 13 | | date on
which the proposition for 4-year terms was approved at | 14 | | referendum or by
resolution, shall be elected for a term of 4 | 15 | | years. In order to provide
for the transition from 6-year | 16 | | terms to 4-year terms: | 17 | | (1) If 2 commissioners on a 5-member board
are to be | 18 | | elected at the first such election and if the term of only | 19 | | one
commissioner is scheduled to expire in the year of the | 20 | | next election at
which commissioners are elected, of the 2 | 21 | | commissioners elected, one shall
serve a 2-year
term and | 22 | | one a 4-year term, to be determined by lot between the 2 | 23 | | persons
elected within 30 days after the election. | 24 | | (2) On a 7-member board under Section 2-10a, if the | 25 | | terms of only 2 commissioners are scheduled to expire in | 26 | | the year of the second election at which commissioners are |
| | | SB1485 Engrossed | - 5 - | LRB103 04869 AWJ 49879 b |
|
| 1 | | elected after the first regular park district election at | 2 | | least 197 60 days after the date on which the proposition | 3 | | for 4-year terms was approved at referendum or by | 4 | | resolution, then: | 5 | | (A) if 3 commissioners are elected at the first | 6 | | regular election, 2 of the commissioners elected shall | 7 | | serve a 2-year term and one shall serve a 4-year term | 8 | | to be determined by lot between persons elected within | 9 | | 30 days after the first election; or | 10 | | (B) if 2 commissioners are elected at the first | 11 | | regular election, those 2 commissioners elected shall | 12 | | serve a 2-year term.
| 13 | | In any district where the board has created 4-year terms | 14 | | pursuant to
this Section, whether by referendum or by | 15 | | resolution, the length of terms
may later be increased to 6 | 16 | | years, but only by a referendum initiated and
held in the same | 17 | | manner as prescribed in this Section for creating 4-year
| 18 | | terms. No proposition to increase the terms of commissioners | 19 | | shall affect
any commissioner holding office at the time of | 20 | | the referendum or to be
elected within 197 60 days after of the | 21 | | referendum.
