(70 ILCS 3105/9) (from Ch. 85, par. 1659)
Sec. 9.
The affairs of a solid waste disposal district shall be managed by a
board which shall consist of 5 trustees. If the boundaries of the
district are coextensive with the boundaries of one county, the trustees
shall be residents of that county. If the district embraces 2 counties,
3 trustees shall be residents of the county with the larger population
and 2 trustees shall be residents of the other county. If the district
embraces 3 counties, one trustee shall be a resident of the county with
the smallest population and each of the other counties shall have 2
resident trustees. If the district embraces 4 counties, 2 trustees shall
be residents of the county with the largest population and each of the
other counties shall have one resident trustee. If the district embraces
5 counties, each county shall have one resident trustee.
In the case of a district composed of one or more townships
organized as a result of a petition under subparagraph (b) of
Section 4, the trustees shall be residents of the township or
townships in the same numerical proportions based upon township
population as provided in this Section for counties.
Trustees shall be qualified voters of such district who do not hold
any other public office and are not officers of any political party.
Trustees shall be selected on the basis of their demonstrated interest
in the purpose of solid waste disposal districts.
In a district organized as a result of a petition under
subparagraph (a) of Section 4, the presiding officer of the
county board of the county of which the trustee is required
to be a resident, with the advice and consent of that county
board, shall appoint the first trustees. In a district
organized as a result of a petition under subparagraph (b)
of Section 4, the township supervisor of the township of
which the trustee is required to be a resident, with the
advice and consent of that township's board of township
trustees, shall appoint the first trustees. The first
trustees of any district shall hold office for terms expiring
on June 30 after one, 2, 3, 4 and 5 year periods respectively
as determined and fixed by lot. Thereafter, successor trustees
shall be appointed in the same manner not later than June 1
prior to the commencement of term of the trustee.
Each successor trustee shall serve for a term of 5 years. A vacancy
occurring otherwise than by expiration of term shall be filled for the
unexpired term by appointment of a trustee by the presiding officer of
the county board of the county of which the trustee shall be a resident
with the advice and consent of that county board or, in a district
organized as a result of a petition under subparagraph (b) of
Section 4, by appointment of a trustee by the township supervisor
of the township of which the trustee is required to be a resident
with the advice and consent of that township's board of township
trustees. A trustee who has
served a full term of 5 years is ineligible to serve as a trustee for a
period of one year following the expiration of his term. When any
trustee during his term of office shall cease to be a bona fide resident
of the district he is disqualified as a trustee and his office becomes
vacant.
Trustees shall serve without compensation, but may be paid their
actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their
official duties.
A trustee may be removed for cause by the presiding officer of the
county board of the county of which the trustee is a resident or
by the township supervisor of the township from which the trustee
was appointed, as appropriate, but every
such removal shall be by a written order, which shall be filed with the
county clerk of the county wherein the order was issued.
