(70 ILCS 1205/2-23) (from Ch. 105, par. 2-23)
Sec. 2-23.
The first election for commissioners where a Pleasure Driveway
and Park District has become a General Park District shall be held at
the next regular election for park district commissioners at which time
two commissioners
shall be elected for a term of six years to succeed the former president
and two trustees whose terms have expired. In the succeeding
biennial election three commissioners shall be elected to succeed the remaining
former trustees, whose terms shall have then expired. These three
newly elected commissioners shall decide by lot the term for which each
shall hold office. The two drawing the longest term shall serve for six
years; and the other shall serve for two years, and until their successors
shall be duly elected and qualified. Thereafter commissioners shall be elected
biennially for a term of six years to succeed the commissioners whose terms
expire. Provided, in former Pleasure Driveway and Park Districts, where
the trustees are appointed in the manner provided in Section 2-18 hereof,
the first election for commissioners shall be held at the next
regular election for park district commissioners after
the expiration of the terms of the three or four former trustees (as the
case may be) whose terms first expire. Said election shall be held at
the time provided by the general election law
at which two commissioners shall be elected for a term of six years
to succeed said former trustees whose terms have expired. Two
years thereafter an election shall be held at the time provided by the
general election law, at which three commissioners
shall be elected to succeed the remaining former trustees whose terms shall
have expired. These three newly elected commissioners shall
decide by lot the term for which each shall hold office, in the same manner
as above provided for Pleasure Driveway and Park Districts in which the
former trustees were elected by the voters.
