Sec. 11-17-1.
When authorized in the manner provided by Section 11-17-2 the
corporate authorities of each municipality with a population of more
than 100,000 and less than 200,000 shall establish and maintain a public
health board for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the
municipality and shall levy annually a tax of not to exceed .075% of the
value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, on all taxable
property in the municipality. In those
municipalities in which a public health board has been established under
this Division 17 before July 24, 1967, the corporate authorities shall
levy annually a tax not exceeding .075% of the value, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue, on all taxable
property in the municipality. The tax levied under this Section shall be
levied and collected in like manner as are the general taxes of the
collecting municipality, and the money so collected shall be known as
the public health board fund. The tax shall be in addition to all other
taxes which the municipality is now, or may be hereafter, authorized to
levy upon the property within the municipality, and shall be in addition
to the amount authorized to be levied for general purposes as provided
in Section 8-3-1.
If the municipality is situated within any county or multiple-county
health department for whose benefit a tax is levied under "An Act in
relation to the establishment and maintenance of county and
multiple-county public health departments", approved July 9, 1943, as
now or hereafter amended, the county clerk shall reduce and abate from
the tax levied by the authority of this Division 17 a rate which would
produce an amount equal to the amount of the tax accruing to the
municipality under the above-named Act.

municipality asking that an annual tax be levied for the establishment

of the municipality at an election in accordance with the general election
law. The proposition shall be in substantially the following form:

board and levy an annual tax therefor? NO
If a majority of the electors voting upon the question are in favor
of the proposition, the corporate authorities of the municipality shall
proceed as provided in Section 11-17-1. Thereafter, the corporate
authorities shall include in the annual appropriation ordinance an
appropriation from the public health board fund of such amount as may be

Sec. 11-17-3.
When it has been decided to establish and maintain a public
health board under this Division 17, the mayor or president, with the
approval of the corporate authorities, shall appoint a board of 5
directors, 2 of whom are duly licensed to practice medicine and surgery in
the State of Illinois and have been in the actual practice of their
profession, and the other 3 of whom are citizens of the municipality. The
directors shall be chosen with reference to their special fitness for that
office.
One of the directors shall be appointed to hold office for one year, one
for 2 years, one for 3 years, one for 4 years, and one for 5 years from the
first day of July following their appointments. At the expiration of the
term of any director, the mayor or president, with the approval of the
corporate authorities, shall appoint a successor, or reappoint that
director, who shall hold office for 5 years and until his successor is
appointed and has qualified. A majority of the directors, with the consent
of the mayor or president and the corporate authorities, may remove any
director for misconduct or neglect of duty.
Vacancies in the board of directors, however occasioned, shall be filled
in like manner as original appointments. No director shall receive
compensation for serving as a director. No director shall be interested in
a private capacity, either directly or indirectly, in the purchase or sale
of any supplies for the public health board.

Sec. 11-17-4.
Immediately after their appointment, the directors shall meet
and organize by electing one of their number as president and one as
secretary and by electing such other officers as they may deem necessary.
They shall adopt such by-laws, rules, and regulations for their own
guidance and for the government of the public health board as may be
expedient and not inconsistent with this Division 17 or with the ordinances
of the municipality. They have the exclusive control of the expenditure of
all money collected to the credit of the public health board fund. All
money received for the public health board shall be deposited in the
municipal treasury to the credit of the public health board fund and shall
not be used for any other purpose. The money shall be drawn upon by the
proper municipal officer upon the properly authenticated vouchers of the
board of directors.
The board has the power to appoint suitable assistants and other
employees and fix their compensation, and to remove such appointees. The
board, in general, shall carry out the spirit and intent of this Division
17 in establishing and maintaining a public health board. In a city which
has adopted or hereafter adopts Division 1 of Article 10, all
appointments and all removals of assistants or other employees shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of that Division 1 of Article 10 and not
otherwise, except that persons may be employed temporarily until persons
ranked upon the register under Division 1 of Article 10 for positions or
offices which are held under Division 1 of Article 10 are available for
service. Persons so appointed for temporary service shall hold their
positions as temporary appointees under Division 1 of Article 10.
Each officer and employee of the public health board is an officer or
employee, as the case may be, of the municipality in which the public
health board is established.
