is hereby created and established a Civil Service Board to consist of three
persons to be selected in the manner following:
The Board of Trustees of the Park Employees' and Retirement Board
Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund, shall, within thirty days after this
act becomes applicable appoint three persons from among their members, at
least one of whom shall be a member of said Board of Trustees from that
portion of the membership of said Board of Trustees appointed by the
Commissioners of the Park District, and one of them a member of said Board
of Trustees from that portion of the membership of said Board elected by
the employees of the Park District, under the provisions of Section 12-156
of Article 12 of the "Illinois Pension Code" as the same may from time to
time be amended, each for the term of two years from the date of his
appointment and until his successor is duly appointed and qualified, who
shall constitute and be known as the Civil Service Board of such Park
Employees' and Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund. The
members of the Civil Service Board shall not receive any salary. Two
members of the Board shall constitute a quorum.
No member of the Civil Service Board shall be removed except for
palpable incompetence or malfeasance in office upon written charges filed
by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Park Employees' and
Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund, and heard before the
Board of Hearings herein provided for.
The three judges of the Circuit Court of a county in which said Park
Employees' and Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund is
situated who have longest held judicial office shall constitute the Board
of Hearings for such county; provided, that whenever more than three
circuit judges shall be eligible as having held judicial office for the
same length of time, the choice of circuit judges shall be made from them
by lot.
The Board of Hearings shall hear and determine the charges and its
findings shall be final, and if such charges shall be sustained the member
of the Civil Service Board so charged shall be forthwith removed from
office by said Board of Hearings and the said Board of Trustees shall
thereupon proceed, within thirty days, to fill the vacancy created by such
removal. In any proceeding provided for in this section, the Board of
Hearings, and each member thereof, shall have power to administer oaths and
to compel by subpoena the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the
production of books and papers.
