(70 ILCS 3020/15) Sec. 15. Board of trustees; creation; term; bond; quorum; disqualification; elections; redistricting of wards. (a) A board of trustees shall be created consisting of 3 members for the government, control, and management of the affairs and business of the sanitary district organized under this Act. (b) The initial trustees shall be selected by the members of the General Assembly whose legislative districts encompass any portion of the district. Each of the trustees shall live within the sanitary district. The terms of the initial trustees shall expire on the first Monday in May, 1995. Within 60 days after appointment, the initial trustees shall divide the sanitary district into 3 wards that are compact, contiguous, and substantially equal in population for the purpose of electing trustees from those wards. (c) At the general election immediately preceding the expiration of any trustee's term, an election shall be held within the ward represented by the trustee to choose a successor to serve from the first Monday in May following the election until a successor trustee is elected and qualified. The candidate receiving the most votes in an election shall be elected for a term commencing immediately after the expiration of the term of the outgoing trustee. (d) The initial board of trustees elected at the first election of trustees shall determine by lot at their first meeting the lengths of their terms. One trustee and his or her successors shall serve terms of 2 years, 4 years, and 2 years. The other 2 trustees and their successors shall each serve 4-year terms. The first board of trustees elected after each decennial federal census shall also determine by lot at their first meeting the lengths of their terms. One trustee and his or her successors shall serve terms of 4 years, 4 years, and 2 years; the second trustee and his or her successors shall serve terms of 4 years, 2 years, and 4 years; the third trustee and his or her successors shall serve terms of 2 years, 4 years, and 4 years. (e) If a vacancy occurs on the board of trustees, the remaining trustees shall within 60 days appoint a trustee residing within the ward for which the vacancy exists. The appointed trustee shall hold office until the next regular election at which trustees of the sanitary district are elected. (f) In 2001 and every 10 years thereafter, following each decennial federal census, the board of trustees shall proceed to divide the sanitary district into wards of approximately equal population for the purpose of electing trustees therefrom, and one trustee shall be elected from each of these wards on the date of the next regular county election. However, no ward shall contain less than 25% of the total population of the district. The territory of each ward shall be composed of contiguous territory in as compact form as practicable. The boundaries of the respective wards shall be set, however, so that the boundaries do not divide individual incorporated cities, towns, villages, or precincts unless division is necessary to prevent a ward from violating the minimum population requirement set forth above. (g) A majority of the board of trustees shall constitute a quorum, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day. No trustee or employee of a district shall have a direct or indirect interest in any contract, work, or business of the district or the sale of any article, the expense, price, or consideration of which is paid by the district; nor in the purchase of any real estate or property belonging to the district or which shall be sold for taxes or assessments, or by virtue of legal process at the suit of the district. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting the appointment or election of any person as trustee or employee whose only interest in the district is as owner of real estate in the district or of contributing to the payment of taxes levied by the district. The trustees shall have the power to provide and adopt a corporate seal for the district. (Source: P.A. 88-390.)
70 ILCS 3020/20
(70 ILCS 3020/20) Sec. 20. Board of trustees; corporate powers; officers and employees; bond; compensation; limitation. The trustees shall constitute a board of trustees for the district. The board of trustees is the corporate authority of the sanitary district and shall exercise all the powers and manage and control all the affairs and property of the district. The board of trustees, immediately after their appointment and at their first meeting in May of each year thereafter, shall 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 president's powers and duties shall devolve upon the vice-president until the president's disability is removed or until a successor to the president is appointed under this Act. The board may select a treasurer, an engineer, and an attorney for the district as well as a board of local improvements consisting of 3 members all of whom may be trustees or other citizens of the sanitary district. The board may appoint other officers and hire employees to manage and control the operations of the district as it considers necessary. All persons elected by the board shall hold their respective offices at the pleasure of the board and shall give such bond as may be required by the board. The board may prescribe 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 per year as compensation for performing his or her duties as trustee. The board of trustees has full power to pass all necessary ordinances, rules, and regulations for the proper management and to conduct the business of the board and the corporation and for carrying into effect the objects for which the sanitary district was formed. These ordinances may provide a fine for each offense of not less than $100 or more than $1,000. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. Fines under 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, relief is necessary to protect the sewage or waterworks system of the sanitary district. The board of trustees may not levy a tax on property unless the question of its adoption, either for a specified period or indefinitely, is submitted to the electors of the sanitary district and approved by a majority of those voting on the question. This question may be submitted at any election held in the sanitary district after the adoption of a resolution by the board of trustees providing for the submission of the question to the electors of the sanitary district. The board of trustees shall certify the resolution and proposition to the proper election officials, who shall submit the proposition at an election in accordance with general election law. If a majority of the votes cast on the question is in favor of the levy of the tax, it may then be levied in the sanitary district for the specified period or indefinitely, as provided in the proposition. The question shall be put in the following form: Shall (name of district) levy an annual tax (explain rate, duration, and purpose) The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". (Source: P.A. 88-390.)
