| 9 | | that imposes a surcharge under Section 15.3 shall establish an | 10 | | Emergency
Telephone System Board. The corporate authorities | 11 | | shall provide for the
manner of appointment and the number of | 12 | | members of the Board, provided that
the board shall consist of | 13 | | not fewer than 5 members, one of whom
must be a
public member | 14 | | who is a resident of the local exchange service territory
| 15 | | included in the 9-1-1 coverage area, one of whom (in counties | 16 | | with a
population less than 100,000) must be a member of the | 17 | | county
board, and
at least 3 of whom shall be representative of | 18 | | the 9-1-1 public safety agencies,
including but not limited to | 19 | | police departments, fire departments, emergency
medical | 20 | | services providers, and emergency services and disaster | 21 | | agencies, and

expenses. Any 2 or more municipalities, counties, or | 6 | | combination thereof,
that impose a surcharge under Section 15.3 | 7 | | may, instead of establishing
individual boards, establish by | 8 | | intergovernmental agreement a Joint
Emergency Telephone System | 9 | | Board pursuant to this Section. The manner of
appointment of | 10 | | such a joint board shall be prescribed in the agreement. | 11 | | Upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th | 12 | | General Assembly, appointed members of the Emergency Telephone | 13 | | System Board shall serve staggered 3-year terms if: (1) the | 14 | | Board serves a county with a population of 100,000 or less; and | 15 | | (2) appointments, on the effective date of this amendatory Act | 16 | | of the 98th General Assembly, are not for a stated term. The | 17 | | corporate authorities of the county or municipality shall | 18 | | assign terms to the board members serving on the effective date | 19 | | of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly in the | 20 | | following manner: (1) one-third of board members' terms shall | 21 | | expire on January 1, 2015; (2) one-third of board members' | 22 | | terms shall expire on January 1, 2016; and (3) remaining board | 23 | | members' terms shall expire on January 1, 2017. Board members | 24 | | may be re-appointed upon the expiration of their terms by the | 25 | | corporate authorities of the county or municipality. | 26 | | The corporate authorities of a county or municipality may, |
