Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

315 ILCS 30/5

(315 ILCS 30/5) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 91.105)

Sec. 5.

As soon as possible after the adoption of the ordinance by
the governing body, the presiding officer of such municipality in which
a Department of Urban Renewal is established, shall appoint, with the
approval of the governing body, five members to act as a Department of
Urban Renewal, hereinafter referred to as the "Department".  Members of
the Department shall be citizens of broad civic interest, administrative
experience and ability in the fields of finance, real estate, building
or related endeavors, at least three of whom shall be residents and
electors of the municipality, and not more than three members shall
belong to the same political party.

One member shall be designated by the presiding officer as Chairman
and shall serve at the pleasure of the presiding officer.  He shall
administer the functions assigned by the Department, preside over its
meetings and carry out whatever other functions may be assigned to him
by the Department and by the governing body.  The Chairman shall devote
his full-time attention to the duties of his office and shall receive no
public funds by way of salary, compensation, or remuneration for
services rendered, from any other governmental agency or public body
during his tenure in office, other than the salary provided by the
governing body.

Four other members shall be appointed with initial terms of one, two,
three and four years.  At the expiration of the term of each such
member, and of each succeeding member, or in the event of a vacancy, the
presiding officer shall appoint a member, subject to the approval of the
governing body as aforesaid, to hold office, in the case of a vacancy
for the unexpired term, or in the case of expiration for a term of four
years, or until his successor shall have been appointed and qualified.
Members shall be eligible to succeed themselves.  Members other than the
Chairman shall serve without compensation in the form of salary, per
diem allowances or otherwise, but each such member shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any necessary expenditures in connection with the
performance of his duties.

Any public officer shall be eligible to serve as a member of the
Department of Urban Renewal, and the acceptance of appointment as such
shall not terminate or impair his other public office, the provision of
any statute to the contrary notwithstanding; but no officer or employee
of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall be
eligible to serve
as a member, nor shall more than two public officers be members of the
Department at one time; provided, however, that any commissioner of a
land clearance commission or member of a conservation board shall be
eligible to serve as a member, and the acceptance of appointment as such
shall not impair his right to serve on such land clearance commission or
conservation board pending its dissolution, the provision of any statute
to the contrary notwithstanding. Members other than the Chairman may be
removed from office by the presiding officer for good cause shown.  Such
removal may be set aside by a two-thirds vote of the governing body.
