Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 7.

The board of trustees may appoint a general manager to serve
a term of five years and until his successor is appointed, and his
compensation shall be fixed by resolution of the board. Such general
manager shall devote his time exclusively to the affairs of the
district, and shall have power to employ, discharge and fix the
compensation of all employees of the district, except as in this Act
otherwise provided, and he shall perform and exercise such other powers
and duties as may be conferred upon him by the Board of Trustees.

Such general manager shall be chosen without regard to his political
affiliation and upon the sole basis of his administrative and technical
qualifications to manage the waterworks properties and affairs of the
district, and he may be discharged at a meeting of the board of trustees upon a majority vote of the members. Such general manager need not be a resident of the district
at the time he is chosen.
