25 the erection, enlargement, ornamentation, building,
26 rebuilding, rehabilitation, improvement, maintenance and
27 operation thereof. Any city or park district may charge, or

1 service board for such district.
2 Every officer and employe in the classified civil service
3 at the time this Act takes effect shall be assigned to a

5 former office or employment, and such officers and employes
6 shall have the same standing, grade, and privilege which they
7 respectively had in the districts from which they were
8 transferred, subject, however, to existing and future civil
9 service laws. This Section shall not be construed to require
10 the retention of more officers and employes than are
11 necessary to the proper performance of the functions of the
12 Chicago Park District and the rules of the civil service
13 board made in pursuance of the civil service law shall
14 control in the making of layoffs and reinstatements of such
15 officers and employes as are not necessary to be retained.
16 This act shall in no way be construed to affect the operation
17 of Article 5 or Article 12 of the "Illinois Pension Code" as
18 the same may from time to time be amended, nor to affect the
19 rights of employees to pensions or annuities nor any taxes
20 authorized to be levied therefor. In the case of employes and

27 Sec. 16a. Personnel code.
28 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Park System
29 Civil Service Act or the provisions of any other law, the
30 board of commissioners by ordinance may establish a personnel
31 code for the Chicago Park District creating a system of
32 personnel administration based on merit principles and
33 scientific methods.
SB1425 Enrolled -6- LRB9111447MWpc
1 (b) The passage by the board of commissioners of a
2 personnel code that complies with the provisions of this
3 Section shall suspend the applicability to the Chicago Park
4 District of the Park System Civil Service Act. That Act shall
5 again become applicable to the Chicago Park District
6 immediately upon the repeal by the board of commissioners of
7 the personnel code or of any provision of that Code that is
8 required by this Section.
9 (c) Any personnel code passed by the board of
10 commissioners under the authority of this Section shall
11 contain provisions necessary to create a personnel system
12 based on merit principles and scientific methods and shall at
13 a minimum contain the following provisions:
14 (1) The code shall create the office of Director of
15 Human Resources Superintendent of Employment. The
16 Director of Human Resources Superintendent of Employment
17 shall be a resident of the district and shall be
18 appointed by the board of commissioners.
19 (2) The code shall provide for a personnel board
20 consisting of 3 members. Two members shall be
21 commissioners and the third shall be the Director of
22 Human Resources Superintendent of Employment or the
23 person lawfully acting in that capacity. Terms for
24 members shall be prescribed by the personnel code. The
25 commissioner members of the personnel board shall serve
26 without compensation but shall be reimbursed for
27 necessary travel and other expenses. The personnel board
28 may administer oaths, subpoena witnesses, and compel the
29 production of books and papers pertinent to any hearing
30 authorized by this Section. Any circuit court, upon
31 application by the personnel board or any member of the
32 board, may, in its discretion, compel the attendance of
33 witnesses, the production of books and papers, and the
34 giving of testimony before the board or its hearing
SB1425 Enrolled -7- LRB9111447MWpc
1 officer in relation to a hearing. Any person who shall
2 refuse to comply with a lawfully served order to appear
3 or testify before the personnel board or its hearing
4 officer, or to produce books and papers relevant to the
5 hearing as commanded in a lawfully served subpoena, shall
6 be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. Any person who,
7 having taken an oath or made affirmation before the board
8 or its hearing officer, knowingly swears or affirms
9 falsely is guilty of perjury and upon conviction shall be
10 punished accordingly.
11 (3) The code shall subject all positions of
12 employment in the Park District to the jurisdiction of
13 the personnel board, with the exception of offices or
14 high-ranking senior executive positions, confidential
15 positions, or special program positions that cannot be
16 subject to career service due to program requirements.
17 The board of commissioners shall, by resolution,
18 specifically exempt those offices or positions from the
19 jurisdiction of the personnel board.
20 (4) The substantive provisions of the code shall
21 provide, at a minimum, for the following:
22 (A) With the exceptions listed below, all
23 vacancies in positions of employment subject to the
24 jurisdiction of the personnel board shall be filled
25 only after providing reasonable public notice of the
26 vacancy and inviting those who meet the published
27 minimum requirements for the position as further
28 provided in this Section to apply for it. The
29 district shall specify in the announcement of the
30 vacancy the minimum requirements necessary to be
31 considered for the position, as contained in the
32 official position description for the position. The
33 district shall specify in the announcement of the
34 vacancy whether competition for the vacancy is open
SB1425 Enrolled -8- LRB9111447MWpc
1 to non-employees of the district, or to employees of
2 the district, or to both. The district may dispense
3 with this requirement of public announcement when a
4 vacancy, for reasons promoting the efficiency of the
5 district service, is to be filled by demotion,
6 recall from layoff or leave of absence, or lateral
7 transfer of an employee; or as the result of a
8 lawful order of a court, arbitrator, or
9 administrative agency; or as the result of a bona
10 fide settlement of a legal claim; or in accordance
11 with the provisions of this Section governing
12 emergency appointments; or as a result of a
13 reclassification of an employee's job title made in
14 accordance with rules prescribed by the district for
15 correcting misclassifications; or as the result of a
16 need to correct or avoid violations of any ethics
17 ordinance of the district.
18 (B) All vacancies that have been publicly
19 announced in accordance with the provisions of
20 subparagraph (A) of this paragraph (4) shall
21 thereafter be filled by a competitive evaluation of
22 the relative qualifications of those who apply for
23 it. Any method of evaluation shall be reasonably
24 designed to select candidates on the basis of
25 job-related criteria. The personnel board shall
26 prescribe by rule the various methods of evaluation
27 that may be used. The public announcement of the
28 vacancy shall specify the method that will be used
29 for the particular vacancy. The Director of Human
30 Resources Superintendent of Employment shall
31 document the process of conducting each competitive
32 evaluation for each vacancy in sufficient detail
33 that the personnel board may determine the process
34 by which, and the basis on which, the person
SB1425 Enrolled -9- LRB9111447MWpc
1 selected to fill the vacancy was selected.
2 (C) The district, where it determines that it
3 is in the interest of the efficiency of the service,
4 may specify reasonable lines of promotion or "career
5 ladder" progressions grouping related positions. The
6 district may, in its discretion, restrict
7 competition for a particular vacancy (i) to existing
8 employees who seek promotion to that vacancy from
9 the position class at the next lower step in the
10 relevant line of promotion or career ladder
11 progression or (ii) if there is no such lower step,
12 to existing employees seeking promotion from a
13 particular job classification or classifications
14 whose duties are reasonably related to the duties of
15 the vacancy being filled. No restriction of
16 competition for a vacancy to be filled by promotion
17 shall be applied unless the line of promotion or
18 similar restriction has first been approved by the
19 personnel board.
20 (D) Persons appointed to a position of
21 permanent employment shall acquire "career service"
22 status following successful completion of a 6-month
23 period of probation.
24 (E) The district may prescribe reasonable
25 rules that extend appropriate preference in filling
26 vacancies to qualified persons who have been members
27 of the armed forces of the United States in time of
28 hostilities with a foreign country or to qualified
29 persons who, while citizens of the United States,
30 were members of the armed forces of allies of the
31 United States in time of hostilities with a foreign
32 country. A "time of hostilities with a foreign
33 country" means the period of time from December 7,
34 1941, to December 31, 1945, and from June 27, 1950,
SB1425 Enrolled -10- LRB9111447MWpc
1 to December 31, 1976 and during any other period
2 prescribed by the Board of Commissioners to take
3 account of periods in which the armed forces were
4 subjected to the risks of hostilities with a foreign
5 country. To qualify for this preference, a person
6 must have served in the armed forces for at least 6
7 months, been discharged on the ground of hardship,
8 or been released from active duty because of a
9 service-connected disability; the person must not
10 have received a dishonorable discharge.
11 (F) The district may make emergency
12 appointments without public announcement or
13 competition where immediate appointment is required
14 for reasons of the security or safety of the public
15 or of the district's property. Emergency
16 appointments shall be immediately reported to the
17 personnel board, which may disapprove them and order
18 them ended. No emergency appointment may last more
19 than 30 days, and no emergency appointment shall be
20 renewed.
21 (G) The district may make temporary
22 appointments to positions in which it is determined
23 by the personnel board that the continuous services
24 of the employee will be needed for less than 12
25 months. Appointments shall be made by public
26 announcement and competitive methods as provided in
27 subparagraph (A) of this paragraph (4), but the
28 employee thus appointed shall not acquire career
29 service status during the period of his or her
30 temporary appointment.
31 (H) The district may transfer employees
32 without competitive procedures from a position to a
33 similar position involving similar qualifications,
34 duties, responsibilities, and salary ranges.
SB1425 Enrolled -11- LRB9111447MWpc
1 (I) The district may make layoffs by reason of
2 lack of funds or work, abolition of a position, or
3 material change in duties or organization. The
4 personnel code may provide for reemployment of
5 employees so laid off, giving consideration in both
6 layoffs and reemployment to performance record,
7 seniority in service, and impact on achieving equal
8 employment opportunity goals.
9 (J) Any employee with career service status
10 shall be discharged or suspended without pay for
11 more than 30 days only for cause and only upon
12 written charges for the discharge or suspension. The
13 employee shall have an opportunity to appeal the
14 action to the personnel board and to receive a
15 hearing before the personnel board or a hearing
16 officer appointed by it. The district may suspend,
17 without pay, the charged employee pending a hearing
18 and determination of an appeal by the personnel
19 board. All final administrative decisions by the
20 personnel board discharging or suspending, for more
21 than 30 days, an employee with career service status
22 are subject to judicial review under the
23 Administrative Review Law.
24 (K) The district shall extend, to persons who
25 are working in a position in which they lawfully
26 acquired civil service status by virtue of being
27 examined under the Park System Civil Service Act,
28 career service status in that position without
29 further examination.
30 (L) In filling any position subject to the
31 jurisdiction of the personnel board and not exempted
32 under paragraph (3) of subsection (c), the district
33 shall take no account, whether favorably or
34 unfavorably, of any candidate's political
SB1425 Enrolled -12- LRB9111447MWpc
1 affiliation, political preferences or views, or
2 service to any political party or organization. The
3 district shall maintain procedures through which
4 employees may complain of violations of this
5 prohibition and through which any established
6 violation may be corrected.
7 (M) The district shall provide, by rule of the
8 personnel board, by collective bargaining agreements
9 with the appropriate collective bargaining
10 representatives, or both, for continued recognition
11 of any right acquired on or before the effective
12 date of this amendatory Act of 1991 by an employee
13 of the district to be employed or reemployed, as the
14 result of a layoff or a recall, in a position in
15 which the employee previously held civil service
16 status. Those previously acquired rights may be
17 modified by mutual agreement between the district
18 and the appropriate collective bargaining
19 representative.
20 (N) The code shall provide that in filling
21 vacancies, the district will follow the provisions
22 of any lawful affirmative action plan approved by
23 the board of commissioners.
24 (O) The code shall set forth specific
25 standards of employee performance that all district
26 employees shall be required to follow.
27 (5) The code shall provide for the preparation,
28 maintenance, and revision by the personnel board of a
29 position classification plan for all positions of
30 employment within the district, based on similarity of
31 duties performed, responsibilities assigned, and
32 conditions of employment, so that the same schedule of
33 pay may be equitably applied to all positions in the same
34 class. Every class of positions shall have a position
SB1425 Enrolled -13- LRB9111447MWpc
1 description approved by the personnel board, specifying
2 the duties expected of the occupant of the position, the
3 minimum requirements of education, training, or
4 experience required for the position, and any other
5 information the personnel board by rule may prescribe for
6 inclusion in the position descriptions. No position
7 shall be filled, and no salary or other remuneration paid
8 to an occupant of a position, until the position has been
9 incorporated by the personnel board into the position
10 classification plan.
11 (6) The code shall provide for the preparation,
12 maintenance, and revision of a pay plan. The pay plan
13 shall be approved, and all revisions to it shall be
14 approved, by the board of commissioners. The pay plan
15 shall assign rates of pay to each position within the
16 approved position classification plan of the district.
17 No salary for any position of employment in the district
18 shall be paid unless and until that position has been
19 lawfully included in the pay plan. Nothing in this
20 Section shall relieve the district from the obligation to
21 bargain over rates of pay under the Illinois Public Labor
22 Relations Act or any other statute that regulates the
23 labor relations of the district.
24 (7) The code shall provide that no disbursing or
25 auditing officer of the district shall make or approve
26 any payment for personal service to any person holding a
27 position in the service of the district unless the
28 payroll voucher or account of the payment bears the
29 certification of the Director of Human Resources
30 Superintendent of Employment that each person named
31 therein has been appointed and employed in accordance
32 with the provisions of the personnel code and the
33 provisions of this Section. The certification shall be
34 based either upon verification of the individual items in
SB1425 Enrolled -14- LRB9111447MWpc
1 each payroll period or upon procedures developed for
2 avoiding unnecessary repetitive verification when other
3 evidence of compliance with applicable laws and rules is
4 available. The procedures may be based either upon a
5 continuation of payroll preparation by individual
6 departments or upon the use of a central payroll
7 preparation unit. The Director of Human Resources
8 Superintendent of Employment shall furnish the personnel
9 board with a copy of each payroll as certified.

11 Section 10. The Park District Code is amended by
12 changing Sections 10-7, 10-7a, 10-7b, and 10-7c as follows:
13 (70 ILCS 1205/10-7) (from Ch. 105, par. 10-7)
14 Sec. 10-7. Sale, lease, or exchange of realty.
15 (a) Any park district owning and holding any real estate
16 is authorized to sell or lease such property to another unit
17 of Illinois State or local government, or to lease upon the
18 terms and at the price that the board determines for a period
19 not to exceed 99 years to any corporation organized under the
20 laws of this State, in either case for public use, and
21 provided that the grantee or lessee covenants to hold and
22 maintain such property for public park or recreational
23 purposes or such park district obtains other real property of
24 substantially the same size or larger and of substantially
25 the same or greater suitability for park purposes without
26 additional cost to such district.
27 (b) Any park district owning or holding any real estate
28 is authorized to convey such property to a nongovernmental
29 entity in exchange for other real property of substantially
30 equal or greater value as determined by 2 appraisals of the
31 property and of substantially the same or greater suitability
32 for park purposes without additional cost to such district.
SB1425 Enrolled -15- LRB9111447MWpc
1 Prior to such exchange with a nongovernmental entity the
2 park board shall hold a public meeting in order to consider
3 the proposed conveyance. Notice of such meeting shall be
4 published not less than three times (the first and last
5 publication being not less than 10 days apart) in a newspaper
6 of general circulation within the park district. If there is
7 no such newspaper, then such notice shall be posted in not
8 less than 3 public places in said park district and such
9 notice shall not become effective until 10 days after said
10 publication or posting.
11 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,
12 this subsection (c) shall apply only to park districts that
13 serve territory within a municipality having more than 40,000
14 inhabitants and within a county having more than 260,000
15 inhabitants and bordering the Mississippi River. Any park
16 district owning or holding real estate is authorized to sell
17 that property to any not-for-profit corporation organized
18 under the laws of this State upon the condition that the
19 corporation uses the property for public park or recreational
20 programs for youth. The park district shall have the right
21 of re-entry for breach of condition subsequent. If the
22 corporation stops using the property for these purposes, the
23 property shall revert back to ownership of the park district.
24 Any temporary suspension of use caused by the construction of
25 improvements on the property for public park or recreational
26 programs for youth is not a breach of condition subsequent.
27 Prior to the sale of the property to a not-for-profit
28 corporation, the park board shall hold a public meeting to
29 consider the proposed sale. Notice of the meeting shall be
30 published not less than 3 times (the first and last
31 publication being not less than 10 days apart) in a newspaper
32 of general circulation within the park district. If there is
33 no such newspaper, then the notice shall be posted in not
34 less than 3 public places in the park district. The notice
SB1425 Enrolled -16- LRB9111447MWpc
1 shall be published or posted at least 10 days before the
2 meeting. A resolution to approve the sale of the property to
3 a not-for-profit corporation requires adoption by a majority
4 of the park board.
5 (d) Real estate, not subject to such covenant or which
6 has not been conveyed and replaced as provided in this
7 Section, may be conveyed in the manner provided by Sections
8 10-7a to 10-7d hereof, inclusive.
9 (e) In addition to any other power provided in this
10 Section, any park district owning or holding real estate that
11 the board deems is not required for park or recreational
12 purposes may lease such real estate to any individual or
13 entity and may collect rents therefrom. Such lease shall not
14 exceed 2 and one-half times the term of years provided for in
15 Section 8-15 governing installment purchase contracts.
16 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if (i)
17 the real estate that a park district with a population of
18 3,000 or less transfers by lease, license, development
19 agreement, or other means to any private entity is greater
20 than 70% of the district's total property and (ii) the
