Sec. 3-9.
Appointment of temporary commissioners - Continuance.
If
the Court finds for the petitioners, it shall notify the appropriate
appointing authority which shall be the county board or in home rule
counties as defined by Article VII, Section 6 of the Constitution of 1970
the county chief executive officer of the county in which the petition is
filed to appoint by majority vote as temporary commissioners 3 competent
residents of Illinois own land in the proposed district, provided, however,
that for good cause shown the appropriate appointing authority may waive
the requirement that the temporary commissioners own land in the proposed
district. When the proposed district is situated in 2 or more counties, no
more than 2 such commissioners shall be residents of any one county,
provided however, that for good cause shown the appropriate appointing
authority may waive this residence requirement. In home rule counties
appointments made by the chief executive officer shall be subject to the
advice and consent of the county board. A commissioner thus appointed
shall hold office until his duties are fulfilled or his successor is
appointed and has qualified. Upon the appointment of temporary
commissioners, the cause shall be continued to a day certain for the
filing of their report.
