    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,

    (70 ILCS 520/4) (from Ch. 85, par. 6154)
    Sec.  4.   (a)  There  is  hereby  created  a   political
subdivision, body politic and municipal corporation named the

jurisdiction of the Authority is that geographic area  within
the  boundaries  of  Madison,  and  St.  Clair,  and  Clinton
counties  in  the  State of Illinois and any navigable waters
and air space located therein.
    (b)  The  governing  and  administrative  powers  of  the
Authority shall be vested in  a  body  consisting  of  11  10
members including, as ex officio members, the Director of the
Department  of  Commerce and Community Affairs, or his or her
designee, and the  Director  of  the  Department  of  Central
Management  Services,  or his or her designee.  The other 9 8
members  of  the  Authority    shall  be  designated  "public
members", 4 of whom shall be appointed by the  Governor  with
the  advice  and  consent  of  the Senate, 2 of whom shall be
appointed by the county board chairman of Madison County, and
2 of whom shall be appointed by the county board chairman  of
St.  Clair  County, and one of whom shall be appointed by the
county board chairman of Clinton County.  All public  members
shall reside within the territorial jurisdiction of this Act.
Six  members  shall  constitute a quorum.  The public members
shall be persons of recognized ability and experience in  one
or   more  of  the  following  areas:  economic  development,

shall  be  elected  by  the Board annually from the 4 members
appointed by the county board chairmen.
    (c)  The terms of all  members  of  the  Authority  shall
begin 30 days after the effective date of this Act.  Of the 8
public  members appointed pursuant to this Act, 3 shall serve
until the third Monday in January, 1988, 3 shall serve  until
the  third  Monday  in January, 1989, and 2 shall serve until
the third Monday in January, 1990.  All successors  shall  be
appointed  by  the  original  appointing  authority  and hold
office for a term of 3 years commencing the third  Monday  in
January  of the year in which their term commences, except in
case of  an  appointment  to  fill  a  vacancy.     Vacancies
occurring  among  the  public members shall be filled for the
remainder  of  the  term.   In   case   of   vacancy   in   a
Governor-appointed  membership  when  the  Senate  is  not in
session, the Governor may make a temporary appointment  until
the  next  meeting  of  the  Senate  when  a  person shall be
nominated to fill such office, and any  person  so  nominated
who  is  confirmed by the Senate shall hold office during the
remainder  of  the  term  and  until  a  successor  shall  be
appointed and qualified. Members of the Authority  shall  not
be entitled to compensation for their services as members but
shall be entitled to reimbursement for all necessary expenses
incurred  in  connection with the performance of their duties
as members.
    (d)  The Governor may remove any  public  member  of  the
Authority  in  case  of  incompetency,  neglect  of  duty, or
malfeasance in office.
    (e)  The Board shall appoint an  Executive  Director  who
shall  have  a  background  in finance, including familiarity
with the legal and procedural requirements of issuing  bonds,
real  estate or economic development and administration.  The
Executive Director shall hold office at the discretion of the
Board.   The  Executive   Director   shall   be   the   chief
administrative  and  operational  officer  of  the Authority,
shall direct and supervise  its  administrative  affairs  and
general management, shall perform such other duties as may be
prescribed from time to time by the members and shall receive
compensation  fixed by the Authority.  The Executive Director
shall attend all  meetings  of  the  Authority;  however,  no
action  of  the  Authority shall be invalid on account of the
absence of  the  Executive  Director  from  a  meeting.   The
Authority  may  engage  the services of such other agents and
employees,  including   attorneys,   appraisers,   engineers,
accountants, credit analysts and other consultants, as it may
deem  advisable  and may prescribe their duties and fix their
