(70 ILCS 1810/13) (from Ch. 19, par. 164)
Sec. 13.
The Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, shall appoint four members of the Board for initial terms
expiring June first of the years 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955,
respectively, at least one of which members shall be a resident of that
portion of the District which is outside the corporate limits of the
city of Chicago, and the Mayor, with advice and consent of the city
council of the city of Chicago, shall appoint three members of the Board
for initial terms expiring June first of the years 1952, 1953 and 1954,
respectively. Within 60 days after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1955, the Governor shall appoint in like manner as other
appointments for initial terms one additional member who is a resident
of DuPage County for an initial term expiring June 1, 1960, and the
Mayor shall appoint in like manner as other appointments for initial
terms one additional member for an initial term expiring June 1, 1960.
Except as hereinafter provided in this Section, at the expiration of the
term of any member appointed by the Governor,
his successor shall be appointed by the Governor in like manner, and at
the expiration of the term of any member appointed by the Mayor, his
successor shall be appointed by the Mayor in like manner,
as appointments
for the initial terms. All successors shall hold office for the term of
five years from the first day of June of the year in which they are
appointed, except in the case of an appointment to fill a vacancy. In
case of vacancy in the office of any member appointed by the Governor
during the recess of the Senate, the Governor shall make a temporary
appointment until the next meeting of the Senate when he shall nominate
some person to fill such office; and any person so nominated, who is
confirmed by the Senate, shall hold his office during the remainder of
the term and until his successor shall be appointed and qualified.
Each appointment by the Governor shall be subject to
approval by the Mayor and each appointment by the Mayor shall be subject
to approval by the Governor, and, when so approved, the Governor and the
Mayor shall certify their respective appointments and approvals to the
Secretary of State. Within thirty days after certification and approval
of his appointment, and before entering upon the duties of his office,
each member of the Board shall take and subscribe the constitutional
oath of office and file it in the office of the Secretary of State.
All members of the Board, except those appointed by the Governor, must
reside within the area of the District as defined in Section 3 of this
Act. If, as a result of this amendatory Act of 1977, any member of the Board
no longer lives within such area, a vacancy exists, which shall be filled
by appointment within 30 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act
of 1977.
The appointment of the successor of the member of the Board appointed by
the Governor whose term of office expires next after the effective date
of this amendatory Act of 1977 shall be made by the Mayor, rather than by
the Governor. It is the intention of this amendatory Act of 1977 that
hereafter 5 members shall be appointed by the Mayor, and 4 by the Governor,
but that the terms of office of members serving on the effective date of
this amendatory Act of 1977 should not be disturbed.
