(45 ILCS 105/2) (from Ch. 127, par. 63s-2)
Sec. 2.
(a) Of the Commissioners first appointed one shall be appointed
to
serve for a term of one year, one for two years, one for three years, one
for four years and one for five years from the third Monday in January
following his appointment.
Beginning with the appointment to be filled in January of 2004, and the
expiration of each term of each commissioner thereafter, and each succeeding
commissioner thereafter, the Chairman of the County Board of the County of
Madison or the County of St. Clair, as the case may be, shall, by and with the
advice and consent of the respective County Board, appoint a successor who
shall hold office for a term of five years. Each commissioner shall hold
office until his successor has been appointed and qualified. The
commissioners shall elect a chairman of the Illinois delegation annually from
among themselves.
(b) The Chairman of the County Board of St. Clair County shall appoint a
commissioner for the term expiring in January, 2004 and in the following year
the
Chairman of the County Board of Madison County shall appoint a commissioner
for the term expiring in January of that year. Successive appointments shall
alternate between the Chairman of the St. Clair County Board and the Chairman
of the Madison County Board, except as may be modified by the provisions of
subsection (c).
(c) In the event that a tax has been imposed in Monroe County consistent
with the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Local Mass Transit District Act, the
Chairman of the Monroe County Board shall, upon the expiration of the term of a
commissioner who is a resident of the County in which 3 of the then remaining
commissioners reside, appoint a commissioner with the advice and consent of
the Monroe County Board. The commissioner appointed by the Monroe County
Board shall hold office for a term of 5 years and a successor shall be
appointed
by the chairman of the Monroe County Board, with the advice and consent of the
Monroe County Board. The appointments of the 4 remaining commissioners shall
then continue to alternate between St. Clair and Madison County so that each
County shall continue to retain the appointments of 2 commissioners. To the
extent that this subsection (c) conflicts with any other provision of this
Section or Section 3, the provisions of this subsection (c) control. (d) A county authorized to appoint commissioners that does not contract for light rail service with the Bi-State Development Agency and does not pay for that service in part with county-generated revenue shall be limited to one commissioner. When the term of an existing commissioner expires from the county without light rail service and there is another commissioner from that county serving an unexpired term, the commissioner leaving shall be replaced by an appointee from a county contracting for light rail service; this process shall continue until the county without light rail service has only one commissioner. At that point, that one commissioner will continue to be appointed as previously authorized by this Act.
