|
Sec. 3.1. Boards of commissioners - Appointment. The Boards |
of
Commissioners of Authorities shall be appointed as follows:
|
(1) In case there are one or more municipalities having a |
population of
5,000 or more within the Authority, the |
commissioners shall be appointed as
follows:
|
(a) Where there is only one such municipality, 3 |
commissioners shall be
appointed from such municipality, |
and 2 commissioners shall be appointed at

|
(b) Where there are 2 or more such municipalities, one |
commissioner
shall be appointed from each such |
municipality, one commissioner shall be
appointed from the |
areas within the authority located outside of such
|
municipalities, and 3
2 commissioners shall be appointed at |
large; except
that when the physical facilities of the |
airport of the Authority are located
wholly within a single |
county with a population between 600,000 and
3,000,000 |
there shall be one commissioner appointed from each |
municipality
within the corporate limits of the Authority |
having 5,000 or more
population and 5 commissioners |
appointed at large. If the
Authority is located wholly |
within the corporate limits of such
municipalities, 2 |
commissioners shall be appointed from the one of such
|
municipalities having the largest population, and one |
commissioner shall be
appointed from each of the other such |
municipalities, and 2 commissioners
shall be appointed at |
large.
|
|
(c) Commissioners representing the area within an |
Authority located
outside of any municipality having 5,000 |
or more population and
commissioners appointed at large |
when the authority is wholly contained
within a single |
county shall be appointed by the presiding officer of the
|
county board with the advice and consent of the county |
board, and when the
physical facilities of the airport of |
the Authority are located wholly within
a single county |
with a population between 600,000 and 3,000,000 the
|
commissioners appointed at large shall be appointed by the
|
chairman of the county board of such county, and any
|
commissioner representing the area within any such |
municipality shall be
appointed by its mayor or the |
presiding officer of its governing body. If
however the |
district is located in more than one county other than a
|
county with a population between 600,000 and 3,000,000, the |
members of the
General Assembly whose legislative |
districts encompass any portion of the
Authority shall |
appoint the commissioners representing the area within an
|
Authority located outside of any municipality having 5,000 |
or more
population and commissioners at large but any |
commissioner representing the
area within any such |
municipality shall be appointed by its mayor or the
|
presiding officer of its governing body.
|

such municipality
shall reside within its corporate |
limits. A commissioner representing the
area within an |
authority and located outside of any such municipality |
shall
reside within such area. A commissioner appointed at |
large may reside
either within or without any such |
municipality but must reside within the
territory of the |
authority. Should any commissioner cease to reside within
|
that part of the territory he represents, or should the |
territory in which
he resides cease to be a part of the |
authority, then his office shall be
deemed vacated, and |
shall be filled by appointment for the remainder of the
|
|
term as hereinafter provided.
|
(2) In case there are no municipalities having a population |
of 5,000 or
more within such authority located wholly within a |
single county, such
order shall so find, and in such case the |
Board shall consist of 5
commissioners who shall be appointed |
at large by the presiding officer of
the county board with the |
advice and consent of the county board. If
however the district |
is located in more than one county, the members of the
General |
Assembly whose legislative districts encompass any portion of |
the
Authority shall appoint the commissioners at large.
|
(3) Should a municipality which is wholly within an |
authority attain, or
should such a municipality be established, |
having a population of 5,000 or
more after the entry of said |
order by the circuit court, the presiding
officer of such |
municipality may petition the circuit court for an order
|
finding and determining the population of such municipality |
and, if it is
found and determined upon the hearing of said |
petition that the population
of such municipality is 5,000 or |
more, the board of commissioners of such
authority as |
previously established shall be increased by one commissioner
|
who shall reside within the corporate limits of such |
municipality and shall
be appointed by its presiding officer. |
The initial commissioner so
appointed shall serve for a term of |
1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years, as may be
determined by lot, and his |
successors shall be similarly appointed and
shall serve for |
terms of 5 years. All provisions of this section applicable
to |
commissioners representing municipal areas shall apply to any |
such
commissioner. Each such commissioner shall reside within |
the authority and
shall continue to reside therein.
|

the Board of
Commissioners of a Metropolitan Airport Authority |
shall consist of 9
commissioners.
|
Seven commissioners shall be residents of the county with
a |
population between 600,000 and 3,000,000 within which the |
Metropolitan
Airport Authority was established. These |
commissioners shall be
appointed by the county board chairman |
|
of the county

Metropolitan Airport Authority was |
established, with the advice and
consent of the county board of |
that county.
|
Two commissioners shall be residents of the territory of |
the Authority

county with |
a population between 600,000 and 3,000,000, with the advice and
|
consent of the governing bodies of those municipalities.
|
