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.
(70 ILCS 1005/5) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 78)
Sec. 5.
Within 60 days after the organization of any mosquito abatement district
under the provisions of this Act a board of trustees, consisting of 5
members, for the government and control of the affairs and business of such
mosquito abatement district shall be appointed in the following manner:
(1) If the district lies wholly within a single township, the board of
trustees of that township shall appoint the trustees for the district
but no township official is eligible for such appointment;
(2) If the district is not contained wholly within a single township,
but is located wholly within a single county, the trustees for
the district shall be appointed by the presiding officer of the
county board with the advice and consent of the
county board;
(3) If the district lies wholly within a municipality, the governing
body of the municipality shall appoint trustees for the district;
(4) If the district does not conform to any of the foregoing
classifications, the
trustees for the district shall be from each county in the district
in numbers proportionate, as nearly as practicable, to the number
of residents of the district who reside in each county in
relation to the total population of the district. Trustees
shall be appointed by the county board of their respective
counties, or in the case of a home rule county as defined by
Article VII, Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution, by the
chief executive officer of that county with the advice and consent
of the county board.
Upon the expiration of the term of a trustee who is in office
on the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975 or at the
time of the publication of each decennial Federal census of
population, the successor shall be a resident
of whichever county is entitled to such representation in order
to bring about the proportional representation required herein,
and he shall be appointed by the appointing authority of that
county. Thereafter, each trustee shall be succeeded by a resident
of the same county who shall be appointed by the same
appointing authority. Of the trustees thus appointed 3 shall hold office until
the second Monday in December after the next succeeding general election
for members of the General Assembly and 2 shall hold office until the
second Monday in December, 2 years after the next succeeding general
election for members of the General Assembly, and until their successors
are appointed and qualified. Thereafter the trustees of the district shall
be appointed in every year in which the term of any of the trustees expires
and shall hold office for 4 years and until their successors are appointed
and qualified. Each trustee shall be a legal voter in the district, and
such trustees shall serve without compensation.
Whenever a vacancy occurs in the board of trustees the appropriate
appointing authority shall appoint some person to fill the remainder of the
unexpired term.
