AN ACT to amend the Public Building Commission Act by
changing Section 5.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Public Building Commission Act is amended
by changing Section 5 as follows:
(50 ILCS 20/5) (from Ch. 85, par. 1035)
Sec. 5. Within 60 days after the filing in the office of
the recorder of the resolution or resolutions organizing the
Public Building Commission, the presiding officer of the
municipality, county seat or county board adopting the
original resolution and the presiding officers of the
municipal corporations, if any, joining in the organization
of the Public Building Commission shall appoint Commissioners
in the manner hereinafter provided. All appointments shall
be made with the advice and consent of the governing body
whose presiding officer makes the appointment.
Within 10 days after the appointment of the commissioners
by the respective presiding officers, with the advice and
consent of the respective governing bodies, as aforesaid,
each of such presiding officers shall transmit to the
presiding officer of the municipality, county seat or county
board which adopted the original resolution, a certificate of
such appointment. The presiding officer of the municipality,
county seat or county board shall cause all such certificates
of appointment, including a certificate of the appointments
made by the presiding officer of the municipality, county
seat or county board which adopted the original resolution,
to be bound under one cover and filed in the office of the
recorder in and for the county. Upon such filing the persons
so appointed shall constitute the Board of Commissioners of
the Public Building Commission and upon taking the oath of
office as hereinafter provided shall be deemed to have
qualified and be empowered to exercise the powers and
authority prescribed in this Act.
The Board of Commissioners shall in all cases consist of
not less than 5 members and in such instances as there may be
more than 5 members as herein provided, the Board of
Commissioners shall consist of an odd number.
If the county seat or municipality alone organizes the
Public Building Commission, the presiding officer of the
county seat or municipality shall appoint not less than 5
Commissioners.
If the county board alone organized the Public Building
Commission, the presiding officer of the county board shall
appoint not less than 5 Commissioners. The Commissioners
appointed to that Public Building Commission must be
residents of the county in which the Commission is organized.
If any one municipal corporation shall join with the
municipality, county seat or county board in the organization
of the Public Building Commission then and in such event the
presiding officer of the municipality, county seat or county
board adopting the original resolution shall appoint 3
Commissioners and the presiding officer of the municipal
corporation joining in the organization of the Public
Building Commission shall appoint 2 Commissioners.
If 2 or more municipal corporations, in addition to the
municipality, county seat or county board adopting the
original resolution, shall join with the municipality, county
seat or county board in the organization of the Public
Building Commission then and in such event the presiding
officers of the municipal corporations joining in the
organization shall each appoint 1 Commissioner and the
presiding officer of the municipality, county seat or county
board adopting the original resolution shall appoint such
number of commissioners as shall exceed by 1 the aggregate
number appointed by the presiding officers of the municipal
corporations joining in the organization of the Commission.
The initial terms of such Commissioners shall be for 5,
4, 3, 2 and 1 year, respectively, and in such cases as there
may be more than 5 Commissioners the initial terms of
Commissioners in excess of 5 Commissioners shall be on a
descending scale of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 years, as there are
Commissioners in excess of 5. The length of the terms of the
first Commissioners shall be determined by lot at their first
meeting. The initial terms of office of Commissioners who
are to hold office for terms of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years,
respectively, shall continue until that September 30th which
next follows the expiration of the periods of 1, 2, 3, 4 and
5 years, respectively, from the date of the filing of the
certificates of appointment in the office of the recorder, as
aforesaid, and until their successors are appointed and
qualify by taking their oath of office.
At the expiration of the term of each of the
Commissioners, and of each succeeding Commissioner, or in the
event of a vacancy, resignation, removal or refusal to act,
the presiding officer of the municipal corporation, who made
that Commissioner's appointment in the first instance, shall
appoint a Commissioner, in the manner hereinabove provided,
to hold office, in the case of a vacancy occurring for
whatever reason, for the unexpired term, or in the case of
expiration, for a term of 5 years, and until his successor is
appointed and has qualified. Each such appointment shall
become effective upon the filing by the presiding officer
making the appointment of a certificate of the appointment in
the office of the recorder for that county. Any Commissioner
may be appointed to succeed himself.
