Sec. 55-30.
Board members; vacancy in office.
Members
of the Board, except additional members appointed
by the Board, shall hold office until their respective successors have been
appointed and qualified. Any member, except additional members appointed
by the Board, may resign from office to take effect when his or her
successor has been appointed and has qualified. An additional member
appointed by the Board may resign from office to take effect upon the date
the member specifies. The mayor or president, as the case may be, with the
advice and consent of the corporate authorities of the municipality, may
remove any member of the Board appointed by him or her in case of
incompetency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, after service on
the member, by registered United States mail, return receipt requested, of
a copy of the written charges against him or her and an opportunity to be
publicly heard in person or by counsel in his or her own defense upon not
less than 10 days notice. In case of failure to qualify within the time
required or of abandonment of office or in case of death, conviction of a
felony or removal from office, a member's office shall
become vacant. Each vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term by
appointment in like manner, as in case of expiration of the term of a member
of the Board.
