(65 ILCS 5/11-23-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-23-4)
Sec. 11-23-4.
When such a city council has decided to establish and
maintain, or to purchase and maintain, a public hospital under this
Division 23, the mayor, with the approval of the city council, shall
appoint a board of 3 directors for the hospital.
One of the directors shall hold office for one year, one for 2 years,
and one for 3 years, from the first day of July following their
appointments. At their first regular meeting the directors shall cast lots
for the respective terms. Before the first day of July each year
thereafter, the mayor, with the approval of the city council, shall appoint
one director to take the place of the retiring director, who shall hold
office for 3 years, and until his successor is appointed.
The city council may, by resolution, increase the membership of the
board to 5 directors. Such resolution shall not affect the terms of the
incumbent directors. Before the first day of July following the adoption of
such resolution the mayor with the approval of the city council, shall
appoint 3 directors, one to succeed the incumbent whose term expires and
the 2 additional provided for in the resolution, for terms of 3, 4 and 5
years from July 1 of the year of the appointment. Thereafter, upon the
expiration of the term of any director his successor shall be appointed for
a term of 5 years and until his successor is appointed for a like term.
If the city council has, by previous resolution, increased the
membership of the board to 5 directors, the city council may by new
resolution increase the membership of the board by 2 new members in any one
year up to a maximum of 11 directors. Such new resolution shall not affect
the terms of incumbent directors. Before the first day of July following
the adoption of the new resolution the mayor with the approval of the city
council shall appoint a sufficient number of directors so that there will
be a successor for the full term of each incumbent whose term expires, and
the 2 additional provided for in the resolution for terms of 4 and 5 years
from July 1 of the year of appointment. Thereafter, upon the expiration of
the term of any director, his successor shall be appointed for a term of 5
years and until his successor is appointed and qualified for a like term.
The mayor, with the consent of the city council, may remove any director
for misconduct or neglect of duty. Vacancies in the board of directors,
however occasioned, shall be filled for the unexpired term in like manner
as original appointments. No director shall receive compensation for
serving as a director. No director shall be interested, either directly or
indirectly, in the purchase or sale of any supplies for the hospital.
