Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 4-9.

Single
commissioner.

Whenever the drains, levees or other work for the construction of which
the district was organized are completed, then the appointing authority
may, upon the petition of adult landowners owning a majority of the area
embraced in the district, dispense with 2 commissioners, and the appointing
authority shall thereafter appoint for such district a single commissioner,
who shall hold office for a term expiring on the first Tuesday in September
of the third year following his appointment and until his successor is
appointed and has qualified, and such single commissioner shall perform the
duties and be vested with and exercise the powers imposed upon
commissioners generally. Whenever, upon the petition of one or more
landowners in such district, it appears to the appointing authority that
additional work may be necessary in such district, or for other good cause
shown, the appointing authority shall appoint 2 additional commissioners in
the manner provided by Section 4-10 so as to make a total of 3
commissioners for the district.
