State, the Commission, acting jointly, shall hire an executive director who
shall be responsible to the Commission and shall serve subject only to

responsible for the supervision and direction of the Commission staff and
for the necessary administrative activities of the Commission, subject only
to Commission direction and approval. In furtherance thereof, the executive
director may organize the Commission staff into such departments, bureaus,
sections, or divisions as he may deem necessary or appropriate. In
connection therewith, the executive director may delegate and assign to one
or more staff member or members the supervision and direction of any such
department, bureau, section, or division.
(b) The executive director shall obtain, subject to the provisions of
the Personnel Code, such accountants, engineers, experts, inspectors, clerks,
and employees as may be
necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act or to perform the duties
and exercise the powers conferred by law upon the Commission. All
accountants, engineers, experts, inspectors, clerks, and employees of the
Commission shall receive the compensation fixed by the Executive Director,
subject only to Commission approval. Notwithstanding these provisions, each
commissioner shall have the authority to retain up to 2 full-time
assistants, subject to the provisions of the Personnel Code, who shall be
supervised by the commissioner and whose compensation shall be fixed by
the commissioner.
(c) The commissioners, executive director, administrative law judges,
accountants, engineers, clerks, inspectors, experts, and other employees
shall have reimbursed to them all actual and necessary traveling and other
expenses and disbursements necessarily incurred or made by them in the
discharge of their official duties. The Commission and executive director
may also incur necessary expenses for office furniture, stationery,
printing, and other incidental expenses.
(d) A copy of any contract executed between the Commission and the
executive director which establishes or provides for the expenditure of
public funds shall be filed with the State Comptroller within 15 days of
execution and shall be available for public inspection. Any cancellation
or modification of any such contract shall be filed with the State
Comptroller within 15 days of execution and shall be available for public
inspection. When a contract or modification required to be filed under
this subsection has not been filed within 30 days of execution, the State
Comptroller shall refuse to issue any warrant for payment thereunder until
the Commission files the contract or modification with the State Comptroller.
