6 | | all costs associated with an audit. The transitional audit |
7 | | shall examine funds expended by the official for whom the newly |
8 | | elected official is taking over and report if the expended |
9 | | funds were consistent with the county board's financial |
10 | | allocations to that official. |

18 | | president until their successors
are appointed by said |
19 | | president, but in all cases not to extend beyond January
1, |
20 | | 1980 and until their successors are selected and qualify. |
21 | | Thereafter,
the officers shall be selected in the manner as |
22 | | prescribed in this Section
except that their first term of |
23 | | office shall not expire until June 30, 1981
and until their |
24 | | successors are selected and qualify.
|

3 | | officer: (i) the office becomes vacant and the former officer's |
4 | | compensation shall be prorated to the date the motion was |
5 | | approved; (ii) if the officer removed is the president then the |

9 | | shall select an interim appointee who shall serve until the |
10 | | next regularly scheduled forest preserve district board |
11 | | meeting; and (iii) a new officer shall be selected at the next |
12 | | regularly scheduled forest preserve district board meeting. An |
13 | | officer removed under this Section maintains his or her status |
14 | | as a member of the forest preserve district board. |
15 | | (b) In any county, city, village, incorporated town or
|
16 | | sanitary district where the corporate authorities act as the
|
17 | | governing body of a forest preserve district, the person |
18 | | exercising
the powers of the president of the board shall have |
19 | | power to appoint a
secretary and an assistant secretary and |
20 | | treasurer and an assistant
treasurer and such other officers |
21 | | and such employees as may be necessary.
The assistant secretary |
22 | | and assistant treasurer shall perform the duties
of the |
23 | | secretary and treasurer, respectively in case of death of such |
24 | | officers
or when such officers are unable to perform the duties |
25 | | of their respective
offices. All contracts for supplies, |
26 | | material or
work involving an expenditure in excess of $25,000, |
|
| | 10100SB1236ham001 | - 8 - | LRB101 07184 AWJ 60319 a |
|
|
1 | | or a lower amount if required by board policy, shall be let to |
2 | | the lowest
responsible bidder, after advertising at least once |
3 | | in one or more
newspapers of general circulation within the |
4 | | district, excepting work
requiring personal confidence or |
5 | | necessary
supplies under the control of monopolies, where |
6 | | competitive bidding is
impossible. Contracts for supplies, |
7 | | material or work involving an
expenditure of $25,000, or a |
8 | | lower amount if required by board policy, or less may be let |
9 | | without advertising for bids,
but whenever practicable, at |
10 | | least 3 competitive bids shall be obtained
before letting such |
11 | | contract. All contracts for supplies, material or
work shall be |
12 | | signed by the president of the board of commissioners or
by any |
13 | | such other officer as the board in its discretion may |
14 | | designate.
|
15 | | (c) The president of any board of commissioners appointed |
16 | | under the
provisions of Section 3a of this Act shall receive a |
17 | | salary not to
exceed the sum of $2500 per annum and the salary |
18 | | of other members of the
board so appointed shall not exceed |
19 | | $1500 per annum. Salaries of the
commissioners, officers and |
20 | | employees shall be fixed by ordinance.
|
21 | | (d) Whenever a forest preserve district owns any personal |
22 | | property that, in the opinion of three-fifths of the members of |
23 | | the board of commissioners, is no longer necessary, useful to, |
24 | | or for the best interests of the forest preserve district, then |
25 | | three-fifths of the members of the board, at any regular |
26 | | meeting or any special meeting called for that purpose by an |
|
| | 10100SB1236ham001 | - 9 - | LRB101 07184 AWJ 60319 a |
|
|
1 | | ordinance or resolution that includes a general description of |
2 | | the personal property, may authorize the conveyance or sale of |
3 | | that personal property in any manner that they may designate, |
4 | | with or without advertising the sale. |
