9 municipality that imposes a surcharge under Section 15.3
10 shall establish an Emergency Telephone System Board. The
11 corporate authorities shall provide for the manner of
12 appointment and the number of members of the Board, provided
13 that the board shall consist of not fewer than 5 members, one
14 of whom may be a public member who is a resident of the local

30 System Board pursuant to this Section. The manner of

HB2607 Engrossed -2- LRB9009192KDks

18 (c) All monies received by a board pursuant to a
19 surcharge imposed under Section 15.3 shall be deposited into
20 a separate interest-bearing Emergency Telephone System Fund
21 account. The treasurer of the municipality or county that has
22 established the board or, in the case of a joint board, any
23 municipal or county treasurer designated in the
24 intergovernmental agreement, shall be custodian of the fund.
25 All interest accruing on the fund shall remain in the fund.
26 No expenditures may be made from such fund except upon the
27 direction of the board by resolution passed by a majority of
28 all members of the board. Expenditures may be made only to
29 pay for the costs associated with the following:
30 (1) The design of the Emergency Telephone System.

20 implementation, upgrade, and maintenance of the system
21 and any other purpose related to the operation of the
22 system, including costs attributable directly to the
23 construction, leasing, or maintenance of any buildings or
24 facilities or costs of personnel attributable directly to
25 the operation of the system. Costs attributable directly
26 to the operation of an emergency telephone system do not
27 include the costs of public safety agency personnel who
28 are and equipment that is dispatched in response to an
29 emergency call.
