 1        AN ACT to amend the Illinois  Highway  Code  by  changing
 2    Section 6-207.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The  Illinois  Highway  Code  is  amended  by
 6    changing Section 6-207 as follows:
 7        (605 ILCS 5/6-207) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-207)
 8        Sec.  6-207.  Compensation  of  highway  commissioner and
 9    other officers.
10        (a)  Unless an annual salary is fixed as provided in this
11    Section, the highway commissioner shall receive for each  day
12    he  or  she  is  necessarily  employed  in  the  discharge of
13    official duties a per diem to be fixed by the county board in
14    road districts in counties not under  township  organization,
15    by  the  highway  board  of trustees in consolidated township
16    road  districts,  and  by  the  board  of  town  trustees  in
17    districts composed of a single township.  Before any per diem
18    is paid, a sworn statement shall be filed by the commissioner
19    in the office of the district clerk, showing  the  number  of
20    days  the  commissioner was employed, the kind of employment,
21    and the dates of employment.
22        The boards specified  in  the  preceding  paragraph  may,
23    instead  of  a per diem, fix an annual salary for the highway
24    commissioner at not less than $3,000, to  be  paid  in  equal
25    monthly  installments.  The boards shall fix the compensation
26    of the commissioner, whether an annual salary or a per  diem,
27    on  or  before  the  last Tuesday in March before the date of
28    election of the commissioner.
29        If the term of any highway commissioner  is  extended  by
30    operation  of  law,  the  board that fixes the commissioner's
31    rate  of  compensation  may  increase   the   rate   of   the
                            -2-                LRB9001460NTsb
 1    compensation,  within the limits provided in this Section, in
 2    relation to that portion  of  the  commissioner's  term  that
 3    extends beyond the period for which he or she was elected.
 4        The  board  of  town  trustees shall order payment of the
 5    amount of per diem  claimed  in  the  highway  commissioner's
 6    sworn  statement  at  the first regular meeting following the
 7    filing of  the  statement.   In  consolidated  township  road
 8    districts,  the  compensation and the expenses of the offices
 9    of the highway commissioner,  district  clerk,  and  district
10    treasurer shall be audited by the highway board of trustees.
11        The  compensation  of  the  highway commissioner shall be
12    paid from the general township fund in districts comprised of
13    a single township and shall be paid  from  the  regular  road
14    fund  in  all  other  districts having highway commissioners;
15    however, in districts  comprised  of  a  single  township,  a
16    portion  (not  exceeding  50%)  of the highway commissioner's
17    salary may be paid from the corporate road and bridge fund or
18    the permanent road fund if approved by the township board and
19    the highway commissioner.
20        (b)  The officers composing the highway board of trustees
21    in consolidated township road districts shall be entitled  to
22    $3  per  day  for attending meetings of the board, to be paid
23    out of the town  fund  of  their  respective  townships.   In
24    consolidated township road districts, the compensation of the
25    district  clerk  and the district treasurer shall be paid out
26    of the road fund of the district.
27        (c)  The district clerk shall receive $4 per day for each
28    day he or she shall be required  to  meet  with  the  highway
29    commissioner  and  the same amount per day for the time he or
30    she shall be employed in canvassing the returns of elections.
31    The district clerk shall  receive  no  other  per  diem.   In
32    addition  to the above, the district clerk shall also receive
33    fees for the following  services,  to  be  paid  out  of  the
34    district road fund, except where otherwise specified:
                            -3-                LRB9001460NTsb
 1             (1)  For  serving  notice of election or appointment
 2        upon district officers as required by this Code, 25 cents
 3        each.
 4             (2)  For posting up  notices  required  by  law,  25
 5        cents each.
 6             (3)  For  copying any record in the district clerk's
 7        office and certifying to the copy, 10 cents for every 100
 8        words,  to  be  paid  by  the  person  applying  for  the
 9        certified copy.
10        (d)  Except as  otherwise  provided  in  this  Code,  the
11    district   treasurer   shall,   in   addition  to  any  other
12    compensation to which he or she is by law  entitled,  receive
13    an  annual  salary of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000
14    per year to be fixed by the county board in road districts in
15    counties not under  township  organization,  by  the  highway
16    board  of  trustees  in consolidated township road districts,
17    and by the board of town trustees in districts composed of  a
18    single township.
19        Except  as  otherwise provided in this Code, the district
20    treasurer shall, in addition to  any  other  compensation  to
21    which  he or she is by law entitled, receive an annual salary
22    deemed appropriate and to be fixed by  the  county  board  in
23    road districts in counties not under township organization.
24        The  compensation of the district treasurer shall be paid
25    from the general township fund in  districts  composed  of  a
26    single  township and shall be paid from the regular road fund
27    in all other districts having district treasurers.
