(75 ILCS 5/2-4) (from Ch. 81, par. 2-4)
Sec. 2-4.
In the event a village not under a commission form of government
converts to a commission form of government or becomes a city, or a village
or city under a commission form of government changes to a village or city
not under a commission form of government, the incumbent board of library
trustees of the village or the city board of library trustees of the
city, as the case may be, shall thereupon become the library trustees of
the village or city, whichever is the form of the new municipal
governmental organization, and shall serve as such until the term of office
for which each had been elected or appointed expires, and until his
successor has been elected or appointed according to law and has qualified
for such office. Thereafter, new or additional library trustees shall be
elected or appointed, or the number of trustees reduced, so that the
number of trustees holding office at any one time shall conform as nearly
as is practicable to the number of library trustees required by law for
the particular city or village as it is organized after changing its form
or classification of municipal government.
The ceiling upon the annual public library tax existing prior to the
conversion or change in form of municipal government and any special tax
previously authorized by the electors shall be applicable after the
conversion or change.
Any existing bond issue and the special tax therefor shall not be
affected by such conversion or change and shall continue in full force and
effect under the law governing such bond issue and special tax.
