| | | HB4500 Enrolled | - 7 - | LRB097 16006 KMW 61157 b |
|
| 1 | | members of the board commence after the increase in | 2 | | compensation is adopted by the board.
| 3 | | The board of commissioners has full power to pass all | 4 | | necessary
ordinances, orders, rules, resolutions and | 5 | | regulations for the proper
management and conduct of the | 6 | | business of the board of commissioners and
the corporation and | 7 | | for carrying into effect the object for which the
sanitary | 8 | | district is formed. All ordinances, orders, rules, resolutions
| 9 | | and regulations passed by the board of commissioners must, | 10 | | before they
take effect, be approved by the president of the | 11 | | board of commissioners.
If he approves thereof, he shall sign | 12 | | them, and such as he does not
approve he shall return to the | 13 | | board of commissioners with his
objections in writing at the | 14 | | next regular meeting of the board of
commissioners occurring | 15 | | after the passage thereof. Such veto may extend
to any one or | 16 | | more items or appropriations contained in any ordinance
making | 17 | | an appropriation, or to the entire ordinance. If the veto | 18 | | extends

president of such board of commissioners fails to return | 20 | | any ordinance,
order, rule, resolution or regulation with his | 21 | | objections thereto in the
time required, he is deemed to have | 22 | | approved it, and it takes effect
accordingly. Upon the return | 23 | | of any ordinance, order, rule, resolution,
or regulation by the | 24 | | president, the vote by which it was passed must be
reconsidered | 25 | | by the board of commissioners, and if upon such
reconsideration | 26 | | two-thirds of all the members agree by yeas and nays to
pass |

|
| 1 | | it, it takes effect notwithstanding the president's refusal to
| 2 | | approve thereof.
| 3 | | It is the policy of this State that all powers granted, | 4 | | either expressly
or by necessary implication, by this Act or | 5 | | any other Illinois statute to
the District may be exercised by | 6 | | the District notwithstanding effects on
competition. It is the | 7 | | intention of the
General Assembly that the "State action | 8 | | exemption" to the application of
federal antitrust statutes be | 9 | | fully available to the District to the extent
its activities | 10 | | are authorized by law as stated herein.
