Sec. 205-45. Board of Commissioners. The governing and administrative body of the Authority shall be a Board of Commissioners consisting of 7 members to be appointed by the Mayor of the City of Peoria with the advice and consent of the City Council. Within 10 days of such appointments, the Mayor of the City of Peoria shall file with the City Clerk a certificate of appointment for each commissioner so appointed. Upon such filing, the persons so appointed shall constitute the Board of Commissioners of the Peoria Civic Center Authority and upon taking the oath of office as hereinafter provided shall be deemed to have qualified and to be empowered to exercise the powers and authority prescribed in this Article.

The initial terms of such Commissioners shall be 2 terms for 5 years, 2 terms for 4 years and one term for each of 3 years, 2 years and one year respectively. The length of the term of the first Commissioners shall be determined by lots at their first meetings. The initial terms of office of Commissioners who are to so hold office shall continue until July 1, which next follows the expiration of the respective periods from the date of the filing of the certificate of appointments in the office of the City Clerk, as aforesaid, and until their successors are appointed and qualified by taking their oath of office.

Upon the expiration of the term of each Commissioner holding office on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, Commissioners shall serve for a term of 3 years.

At the expiration of the term of each of the Commissioners, and of each succeeding Commissioner or in the event of a vacancy, resignation, removal or refusal to act, the Mayor of the City of Peoria shall appoint a Commissioner in the manner hereinabove provided, to hold office in the case of a vacancy occurring for whatever reason, for the unexpired term or in the case of expiration, for a term of 3 5 years, and until his or her successor is appointed and has qualified. Each appointment shall become effective upon the filing by the Mayor of a certificate of the appointment in the office of the City Clerk. Any commissioner may be appointed to succeed himself or herself.

No commissioner shall receive any compensation, whether in form of salary, per diem allowance or otherwise, for or in connection with his or her services as such commissioner. Each Commissioner, however, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any necessary expenditures in connection with the performance of his or her duties.
