Sec. 26b.6.
Governing body of sub-district.) The governing body of any
sub-district shall consist of 5 sub-district directors, of legal voting
age, who shall be owners of land within the sub-district or resident occupiers
of land within the sub-district, in which they serve. Nominating petitions
shall be filed and the election of such sub-district directors shall be
conducted and held in the manner provided in Section 20 of this Act with
respect to the election of directors. The 5 nominees receiving the highest
number of votes shall be declared elected. After the first such election,
the sub-district directors shall be divided into 3 classes, each consisting
as nearly as may be of one-third of the entire number of sub-district directors
and one class of sub-district directors shall be elected each year. The
term of office of the members of the first sub-district board shall be
determined
by lot following their election and 2 shall hold office for 3 years, 2 for
2 years and one for one year. Their successors shall hold office for 3
years and shall be nominated and elected, in the manner provided in Section
20 of this Act, in the years in which the respective terms of office of
the members of the sub-district board expire.
The governing body of the sub-district shall designate from its membership,
a chairman, vice chairman and secretary-treasurer, to serve for a term of one year.
At the close of the fiscal year of each sub-district, a report of the
operations of the sub-district for the year, including a report of receipts
and expenditures, shall be filed with the board of directors of each Soil
and Water Conservation District within which the sub-district or any part
thereof lies.
Each sub-district director shall receive for his services while actually
engaged in the business of the sub-district, a sum of not to exceed $20 per
day, to be fixed by ordinance. No sub-district director may receive
compensation under this sub-section on any day for which he receives
compensation under Section 21 of this Act.
