Sec. 6-127.
In any county in which a county unit road district is
established, the county unit district roads shall be constructed,
maintained and repaired by the county superintendent of highways, subject
to the direction of the county board; and with the respect to the laying
out, construction, repair and maintenance of such roads, the county
superintendent of highways shall have the powers and perform the duties of
the highway commissioners under the provisions of this Code.
The county unit road district shall be administered as a separate county
agency by the county superintendent of highways, but the presiding officer
of the county board, with the advice and consent of the county board, may
appoint a committee from its membership representative of the territory in
such county and delegate to such committee such authority as the county
board may deem proper. The county superintendent of highways may divide the
territory of the county into maintenance or operational units and may
employ the necessary personnel in each such unit.
