    AN ACT concerning sanitary districts.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.  The Sanitary District Act of 1936 is amended
by changing Section 4 as follows:

    (70 ILCS 2805/4) (from Ch. 42, par. 415)
    Sec.  4.   The  trustees  shall  constitute  a  board  of
trustees for the sanitary district. The board of trustees  is
the  corporate  authority  of  the sanitary district, and may
exercise all the  powers  and  manage  and  control  all  the
affairs  and  property of the district. The board of trustees
at the beginning of each new term of office  shall  meet  and
elect  one  of their number as president, one of their number
as vice-president, and from or outside of their membership  a
clerk   and  an  assistant  clerk.  In  case  of  the  death,
resignation, absence from the state, or other  disability  of
the  president,  the  powers,  duties  and  emoluments of the
office   of   the   president   shall   devolve   upon    the
vice-president,  until  such disability is removed or until a
successor to the president is appointed  and  chosen  in  the
manner   provided  in  this  Act.  The  board  may  select  a
treasurer, engineer and attorney for the district, who  shall
hold  their  respective  offices  during  the pleasure of the
board, and give such bond as may be required  by  the  board.
The  board  may  appoint  such  other  officers and hire such
employees  to  manage  and  control  the  operations  of  the
district as it deems necessary. The board may  prescribe  the
duties  and  fix  the  compensation  of  all the officers and
employees of the sanitary district. However, no member of the
board of trustees shall receive more than $6,000  $3,000  per
year.  The  board  of  trustees  has  full  power to pass all
necessary ordinances, rules and regulations  for  the  proper
management  and  conduct of the business of the board and the
sanitary  district,  and  for  carrying   into   effect   the
collection  and disposal of sewage and the purposes for which
the  sanitary  district  was  formed.   Such  ordinances  may
provide for a fine for each offense of not less than $100  or
more  than  $1,000.  Each day's continuance of such violation
shall be a separate offense.  Fines pursuant to this  Section
are  recoverable  by the sanitary district in a civil action.
The sanitary district is authorized to apply to  the  circuit
court  for injunctive relief or mandamus when, in the opinion
of the chief administrative officer, such relief is necessary
to protect the sewerage system of the sanitary district.  The
board of trustees has the sole and  exclusive  authority  for
regulation  and  inspection  of  drainage  lines to determine
their adequacy and suitability for connection to  the  sewage
system of the district.
