| Public Act 101-0308 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Metro-East Sanitary District Act of 1974 is | ||||
amended by changing Sections 3-1 and 3-3 as follows:
| ||||
(70 ILCS 2905/3-1) (from Ch. 42, par. 503-1)
| ||||
Sec. 3-1.
The district shall be governed by a Board of | ||||
Commissioners, consisting
of 5 commissioners. Two Three of the | ||||
commissioners shall be residents of that
portion of the | ||||
district in the county having the greater equalized assessed
| ||||
valuation of the district, and 2 shall be residents of that | ||||
portion of the
district in the other county. The appointment of | ||||
commissioners from each
county shall be made by the chairman of | ||||
the county board of that county
with the advice and consent of | ||||
the county board, except that in the case of
a home rule county | ||||
as defined by Article VII, Section 6, of the
Constitution of | ||||
1970 the appointment shall be made by the chief executive
| ||||
officer of the county with the advice and consent of the county | ||||
board. Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||
of the 101st General Assembly, the mayor, or his or her | ||||
designee, of the largest municipality in the county having the | ||||
greater equalized assessed
valuation of the district shall be | ||||
an ex officio commissioner with a right to vote. If there is | ||||
not a vacant commissioner position from the county having the | ||
greater equalized assessed valuation on the effective date of | ||
this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly, then the | ||
term of the last appointed commissioner from that county is | ||
terminated on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | ||
101st General Assembly.
| ||
The appointed commissioners from each county may not be | ||
from the same political party. Of the 5 commissioners, no more | ||
than 3 may be of the same political
party. Of the 3 | ||
commissioners from the county entitled to 3 appointments,
no | ||
more than 2 may be of the same political party. The 2 | ||
commissioners from
the other county shall not be of the same | ||
political party.
| ||
The County Board Chairman of either county may remove any | ||
of the appointed commissioners
from his or her county
with the | ||
advice and consent of the county board.
| ||
In the first appointments to the Board of Commissioners, | ||
the appointing
authority appointing 3 directors shall | ||
designate one appointee to serve for
a term of one year, one | ||
for a term of 3 years and one for a term of 5
years, and the | ||
appointing authority appointing 2 directors shall designate
| ||
one to serve for a term of 2 years and one for a term of 4 | ||
years.
Thereafter one commissioner shall be appointed by the | ||
appropriate
appointing authority each year for a term of 5 | ||
years to succeed the
director whose term expires in that year. | ||
Any vacancy on the Board of
Commissioners shall be filled by | ||
appointment by the appropriate appointing
authority for the | ||
remainder of the unexpired term.
| ||
For the purpose of determining the ex officio commissioner, | ||
the county having the greater equalized assessed
valuation of | ||
the district shall be established on January 1 of each year, | ||
and the ex officio commissioner shall serve until January 1 of | ||
the following year. If the relative equalized assessed | ||
valuation changes so that the
position of the 2 counties with | ||
respect to majority and minority
representation on the board is | ||
reversed, the next appointment that would
otherwise have been | ||
made by the appointing authority for the county
formerly | ||
entitled to 3 directors shall be made by the appointing | ||
authority
for the other county.
