2 | employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a | ||||||
3 | person or entity if the officer, member, or employee, during | ||||||
4 | the year immediately preceding termination of service on the | ||||||
5 | board, participated personally and substantially in the award | ||||||
6 | of contracts with the board, community college district, or | ||||||

9 | or community college within the city, with a cumulative value | ||||||
10 | of $25,000 or more to the person, the entity, or the entity's | ||||||
11 | parent or subsidiary. | ||||||
12 | (d) Whenever a vacancy occurs, the remaining members shall | ||||||
13 | fill the vacancy, and the person so appointed shall serve until | ||||||
14 | a successor is elected at the next regular election for board | ||||||
15 | members and is certified in accordance with Sections 22-17 and | ||||||
16 | 22-18 of the Election Code. If the remaining members fail to | ||||||

19 | person so appointed shall serve until a successor is elected at | ||||||
20 | the next regular election for board members and is certified in | ||||||
21 | accordance with Sections 22-17 and 22-18 of the Election Code. | ||||||
22 | The person appointed to fill a vacancy shall have the same | ||||||
23 | residential qualifications as his or her predecessor in office | ||||||
24 | was required to have. However, in either instance, if the | ||||||
25 | vacancy occurs with more than 28 months remaining until the | ||||||
26 | term expires, the appointed member shall serve only until a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | successor is elected and qualified at the next scheduled | ||||||
