Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(70 ILCS 3305/3) (from Ch. 121, par. 357)
Sec. 3.
A board of trustees consisting of 3 members for the
government and control of the affairs and business of the street lighting
district incorporated under this Act shall be created in the following manner:
(1) If the district is located wholly within a single county,
trustees for the district shall
be appointed by the presiding officer of the county board with the advice
and consent of the county board;
(2) If the district is located in more than one county, the
number of trustees who are residents of a county shall be in proportion,
as nearly as practicable, to the number of residents of the district who
reside in that county in relation to the total population of the district.
Upon the expiration of the term of a trustee who is in office
on the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975, the successor shall
be a resident of whichever county is entitled to such representation in
order to bring about the proportional representation required herein,
and he shall be appointed by the county board of that county, or
in the case of a home rule county as defined by Article VII,
Section 6 of the Constitution of 1970, the chief executive officer
of that county, with the advice and consent of the county board.
Thereafter, each trustee shall be succeeded by a
resident of the same county who shall be appointed by the
same appointing authority; however, the provisions of the
preceding paragraph shall apply to the appointment of the
successor to each trustee who is in office at the time of
the publication of each decennial Federal census of population.
Within 60 days after the creation of a street lighting district as
provided in Section 1 hereof, the appropriate appointing authority shall
appoint 3 trustees. The trustees shall hold their offices for one, 2 and 3
years from the first Monday of May next after their appointment and until
their successors have been appointed and qualified. Thereafter on or before
the second Monday in April of each year the appointing authority shall
appoint one trustee whose term shall be for 3 years commencing on the first
Monday in May next after they are respectively appointed. The length of
term of the first trustees shall be determined by lot at their first
meeting.
The appointing authority shall require each of the trustees to enter
into bond with security to be approved by the appointing authority in such
sum as the appointing authority may determine.
A majority of the board of trustees shall constitute a quorum. No
trustee or employee of the district shall be directly or indirectly
interested financially in any contract, work or business or the sale of any
article, the expense, price or consideration of which is paid by the
district. The trustees shall provide and adopt a corporate seal for the
district.
