Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(70 ILCS 1807/120)
Sec. 120. Meetings; ordinances and resolutions; public records. Regular
meetings of the Board shall be held at least once in each calendar month, the
time and
place of the meeting to be fixed by the Board. Five members of the Board shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All action of the Board
shall be by
motion, ordinance, or resolution, except that any action authorizing the expenditure of funds in excess of $5,000 must be by ordinance. The affirmative vote of at least 5 members shall be
necessary for the adoption of any ordinance or resolution. All ordinances and
resolutions before taking effect shall be approved by the chairperson of the
Board. If
the chairperson shall approve the ordinance or resolution, he or she shall sign
it. Those
ordinances or resolutions the chairperson
shall not approve the chairperson
shall
return to the Board with his or her objections in writing at the next regular
meeting of
the Board occurring after the passage of the ordinances or resolutions. If the
chairperson shall fail to return any ordinance or resolution with his or her
objections by
the time required in this Section, he or she shall be deemed to have approved
it and it
shall take effect accordingly. Upon the return of any ordinance or resolution
by the
chairperson with his or her objections, the vote by which the ordinance or
resolution was
passed shall be reconsidered by the Board. If upon reconsideration the
ordinance or
resolution is passed by the affirmative vote of at least 6 members, it shall go
into effect
notwithstanding the veto of the chairperson. All ordinances, resolutions, all
proceedings of the district, and all documents
and records in its possession shall be
public records, and open to public inspection, except any documents and records
that
shall be kept or prepared by the Board for use in negotiations, actions, or
proceedings
to which the district is a party.
