(70 ILCS 705/4b) (from Ch. 127 1/2, par. 24.2)
Sec. 4b.
Any fire protection district, that has determined to have an elected
rather than an appointed board of trustees pursuant to Section 4a, may,
in the manner provided in this Section, revert to an appointed board of trustees.
Upon presentation to the board of trustees of a petition, signed by not
less than 10% of the electors of the district, requesting that a proposition
for the appointment of trustees be submitted to the electors of the district,
the board of trustees shall certify the proposition to the proper election
officials, who shall submit
such proposition to the electors of the district at an election in accordance
with the general election law. The proposition shall be in substantially
the following form:
-------------------------------------------------------------- Shall the trustees of.... Fire YES Protection District be appointed, ------------------------- rather than elected? NO--------------------------------------------------------------
If a majority of the votes cast on such proposition are in the affirmative,
the trustees of the district shall thereafter be appointed as provided in Section 4.
