(70 ILCS 1845/17) (from Ch. 19, par. 367)
Sec. 17.
Members of the Board shall hold office until their respective
successors have been appointed and qualified. Any member may resign from
his office to take effect when his successor has been appointed and has
qualified. The Governor, President and the Chairman of the La Salle County
Board, respectively, may remove any member of the Board they have appointed
in case of incompetency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office. They
shall give such member a copy of the charges against him and an opportunity
to be publicly heard in person or by counsel in his own defense upon not
less than 10 days' notice. In case of failure to qualify within the time
required, or of abandonment of his office, or in case of death, conviction
of a felony or removal from office, the office of such member shall become
vacant. Each vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment
in like manner as in case of expiration of the term of a member of the
Board.
