The county board shall, unless the chairman is elected by the |
voters of
the county, at its first meeting in the month |
following the month in which
county board members are elected, |
choose one of its members as chairman for
a term of 2 years and |
at the same meeting, choose one of its members as
vice-chairman |
for a term of 2 years. The vice-chairman shall serve in the
|
place of the chairman at any meeting of the county board in |
which
the chairman is not present. In case of the absence of |
the chairman and
the vice-chairman at any meeting, the members |
present shall choose one of
their number as temporary chairman. |
A chairman who is chosen by the county board may be |
removed, with or without cause, upon a motion adopted by an |
affirmative vote of four-fifths of the county board. Upon |
adoption of a motion to remove the chairman: (i) the chairman |
position becomes vacant and the former chairman's compensation |
shall be prorated to the date the motion was approved; (ii) the |
vice-chairman immediately assumes the duties of chairman |
without chairman compensation; and (iii) a new chairman shall |

Sec. 4-10005. County board salaries. |
(a) Notwithstanding Section 4-10001, a member of a county |
board shall not receive any salary or other compensation from |
the county if the member is receiving pension benefits from the |

Illinois Pension Code for the member's service as a county |

benefits from the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund on the |
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General |
Assembly, the member's salary and compensation shall be reduced |
to zero at the beginning of the member's next term if the |

Municipal Retirement Fund for service as a county board member. |
(b) This Section does not apply to a county that has |
adopted an ordinance or resolution effective prior to January |
1, 2019 that reduces compensation of elected county officials |
who are receiving pension benefits from the Illinois Municipal |
Retirement Fund under Article 7 of the Illinois Pension Code |
for their service as elected officials of that county to an |
amount less than other elected county officials who are not |
receiving such pension benefits for their service as elected |
officials.

shall examine funds expended by the official for whom the newly |
elected official is taking over and report if the expended |
funds were consistent with the county board's financial |
allocations to that official. |

financial audit to all county officials elected in or after |
|
November 2016. |
(c) A home rule county shall not regulate transitional |
audits in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This Section |

|
Sec. 8. Powers and duties of corporate authority and |
officers; contracts; salaries.
|
(a) The board shall be the corporate authority of such |
forest
preserve district and shall have power to pass and |
enforce all necessary
ordinances, rules and regulations for the |
management of the property and
conduct of the business of such |
district. The president of such board
shall have power to |
appoint such employees as may be necessary. In counties
with |
population of less than 3,000,000, within 60 days after their |
selection
the commissioners appointed under the provisions of |
Section 3a of this Act
shall organize by selecting from their |
members a president, vice president, secretary,
treasurer and |
such other officers as are deemed necessary who shall hold
|
office for the fiscal year in which elected and until their |
successors are
selected and qualify. In the one district in |
|
existence on July 1, 1977, that
is managed by an appointed |
board of commissioners, the incumbent president
and the other |
officers appointed in the manner as originally prescribed in |
this
Act shall hold such offices until the completion of their |
respective terms or
in the case of the officers other than |
president until their successors
are appointed by said |
president, but in all cases not to extend beyond January
1, |
1980 and until their successors are selected and qualify. |
Thereafter,
the officers shall be selected in the manner as |
prescribed in this Section
except that their first term of |
office shall not expire until June 30, 1981
and until their |
successors are selected and qualify.
|
(a-5) An officer selected pursuant to subsection (a) may be |
removed, with or without cause, upon a motion adopted by an |
affirmative vote of four-fifths of the board of the forest |
preserve district. Upon adoption of a motion to remove an |
officer: (i) the office becomes vacant and the former officer's |
compensation shall be prorated to the date the motion was |
approved; (ii) if the officer removed is the president then the |
vice president immediately assumes the duties of the president |
without president compensation and, if the officer removed is |
the vice president, treasurer, or secretary, then the president |
shall select an interim appointee who shall serve until the |
next regularly scheduled forest preserve district board |
meeting; and (iii) a new officer shall be selected at the next |
regularly scheduled forest preserve district board meeting. An |
|
officer removed under this Section maintains his or her status |
as a member of the forest preserve district board. |
(b) In any county, city, village, incorporated town or
|
sanitary district where the corporate authorities act as the
|
governing body of a forest preserve district, the person |
exercising
the powers of the president of the board shall have |
power to appoint a
secretary and an assistant secretary and |
treasurer and an assistant
treasurer and such other officers |
and such employees as may be necessary.
The assistant secretary |
and assistant treasurer shall perform the duties
of the |
secretary and treasurer, respectively in case of death of such |
officers
or when such officers are unable to perform the duties |
of their respective
offices. All contracts for supplies, |
material or
work involving an expenditure in excess of $25,000, |
or a lower amount if required by board policy, shall be let to |
the lowest
responsible bidder, after advertising at least once |
in one or more
newspapers of general circulation within the |
district, excepting work
requiring personal confidence or |
necessary
supplies under the control of monopolies, where |
competitive bidding is
impossible. Contracts for supplies, |
material or work involving an
expenditure of $25,000, or a |
lower amount if required by board policy, or less may be let |
without advertising for bids,
but whenever practicable, at |
least 3 competitive bids shall be obtained
before letting such |
contract. All contracts for supplies, material or
work shall be |
signed by the president of the board of commissioners or
by any |
|
such other officer as the board in its discretion may |
designate.
|
(c) The president of any board of commissioners appointed |
under the
provisions of Section 3a of this Act shall receive a |
salary not to
exceed the sum of $2500 per annum and the salary |
of other members of the
board so appointed shall not exceed |
$1500 per annum. Salaries of the
commissioners, officers and |
employees shall be fixed by ordinance.
|
(d) Whenever a forest preserve district owns any personal |
property that, in the opinion of three-fifths of the members of |
the board of commissioners, is no longer necessary, useful to, |
or for the best interests of the forest preserve district, then |
three-fifths of the members of the board, at any regular |
meeting or any special meeting called for that purpose by an |
ordinance or resolution that includes a general description of |
the personal property, may authorize the conveyance or sale of |
that personal property in any manner that they may designate, |
with or without advertising the sale. |
