| ||||
Sec. 3.1. Boards of commissioners - Appointment. The Boards | ||||
of
Commissioners of Authorities shall be appointed as follows:
| ||||
(1) In case there are one or more municipalities having a | ||||
population of
5,000 or more within the Authority, the | ||||
commissioners shall be appointed as
follows:
| ||||
(a) Where there is only one such municipality, 3 | ||||
commissioners shall be
appointed from such municipality, | ||||
and 2 commissioners shall be appointed at
large.
| ||||
(b) Where there are 2 or more such municipalities, one | ||||
commissioner
shall be appointed from each such | ||||
municipality, one commissioner shall be
appointed from the | ||||
areas within the authority located outside of such
| ||||
municipalities, and 3
2 commissioners shall be appointed at | ||||
large; except
that when the physical facilities of the | ||||
airport of the Authority are located
wholly within a single | ||||
county with a population between 600,000 and
3,000,000 | ||||
there shall be one commissioner appointed from each | ||||
municipality
within the corporate limits of the Authority | ||||
having 5,000 or more
population and 5 commissioners | ||||
appointed at large. If the
Authority is located wholly | ||||
within the corporate limits of such
municipalities, 2 | ||||
commissioners shall be appointed from the one of such
| ||||
municipalities having the largest population, and one | ||||
commissioner shall be
appointed from each of the other such | ||||
municipalities, and 2 commissioners
shall be appointed at | ||||
large.
| ||||
(c) Commissioners representing the area within an | ||
Authority located
outside of any municipality having 5,000 | ||
or more population and
commissioners appointed at large | ||
when the authority is wholly contained
within a single | ||
county shall be appointed by the presiding officer of the
| ||
county board with the advice and consent of the county | ||
board, and when the
physical facilities of the airport of | ||
the Authority are located wholly within
a single county | ||
with a population between 600,000 and 3,000,000 the
| ||
commissioners appointed at large shall be appointed by the
| ||
chairman of the county board of such county, and any
| ||
commissioner representing the area within any such | ||
municipality shall be
appointed by its mayor or the | ||
presiding officer of its governing body. If
however the | ||
district is located in more than one county other than a
| ||
county with a population between 600,000 and 3,000,000, the | ||
members of the
General Assembly whose legislative | ||
districts encompass any portion of the
Authority shall | ||
appoint the commissioners representing the area within an
| ||
Authority located outside of any municipality having 5,000 | ||
or more
population and commissioners at large but any | ||
commissioner representing the
area within any such | ||
municipality shall be appointed by its mayor or the
| ||
presiding officer of its governing body.
| ||

such municipality
shall reside within its corporate | ||
limits. A commissioner representing the
area within an | ||
authority and located outside of any such municipality | ||
shall
reside within such area. A commissioner appointed at | ||
large may reside
either within or without any such | ||
municipality but must reside within the
territory of the | ||
authority. Should any commissioner cease to reside within
| ||
that part of the territory he represents, or should the | ||
territory in which
he resides cease to be a part of the | ||
authority, then his office shall be
deemed vacated, and | ||
shall be filled by appointment for the remainder of the
| ||
term as hereinafter provided.
| ||
(2) In case there are no municipalities having a population | ||
of 5,000 or
more within such authority located wholly within a | ||
single county, such
order shall so find, and in such case the | ||
Board shall consist of 5
commissioners who shall be appointed | ||
at large by the presiding officer of
the county board with the | ||
advice and consent of the county board. If
however the district | ||
is located in more than one county, the members of the
General | ||
Assembly whose legislative districts encompass any portion of | ||
the
Authority shall appoint the commissioners at large.
| ||
(3) Should a municipality which is wholly within an | ||
authority attain, or
should such a municipality be established, | ||
having a population of 5,000 or
more after the entry of said | ||
order by the circuit court, the presiding
officer of such | ||
municipality may petition the circuit court for an order
| ||
finding and determining the population of such municipality | ||
and, if it is
found and determined upon the hearing of said | ||
petition that the population
of such municipality is 5,000 or | ||
more, the board of commissioners of such
authority as | ||
previously established shall be increased by one commissioner
| ||
who shall reside within the corporate limits of such | ||
municipality and shall
be appointed by its presiding officer. | ||
The initial commissioner so
appointed shall serve for a term of | ||
1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years, as may be
determined by lot, and his | ||
successors shall be similarly appointed and
shall serve for | ||
terms of 5 years. All provisions of this section applicable
to | ||
commissioners representing municipal areas shall apply to any | ||
such
commissioner. Each such commissioner shall reside within | ||
the authority and
shall continue to reside therein.
| ||
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, | ||
the Board of
Commissioners of a Metropolitan Airport Authority | ||
shall consist of 9
commissioners.
| ||
Seven commissioners shall be residents of the county with
a | ||
population between 600,000 and 3,000,000 within which the | ||
Metropolitan
Airport Authority was established. These | ||
commissioners shall be
appointed by the county board chairman | ||
of the county
with a population between 600,000 and 3,000,000 | ||
within which the
Metropolitan Airport Authority was | ||
established, with the advice and
consent of the county board of | ||
that county.
| ||
Two commissioners shall be residents of the territory of | ||
the Authority
located outside the county with a population | ||
between 600,000 and 3,000,000.
These commissioners shall be | ||
appointed jointly by the mayors of the
municipalities having a | ||
population over 5,000 that are located outside the
county with | ||
a population between 600,000 and 3,000,000, with the advice and
| ||
consent of the governing bodies of those municipalities.
| ||
The transition from the pre-existing composition of the | ||
Metropolitan
Airport Authority Board of Commissioners to the | ||
composition specified in
this amendatory Act of 1991 shall be | ||
accomplished as follows:
| ||
(A) The appointee who was required to be a resident | ||
of the area

| ||

the Authority located
outside the county with a | ||
population between 600,000 and 3,000,000.
| ||
(B) The other 8 commissioners may serve until their | ||
terms expire. Upon
the occurrence of the second vacancy | ||

this amendatory Act of 1991, the replacement shall be | ||
the
second of the 2 appointees who shall be residents | ||
of the territory of the
Authority located outside of | ||
the county with a population between 600,000
and | ||
3,000,000. Upon the expiration of the terms of the | ||
other 7
commissioners, the replacements shall be | ||
residents of the county with a
population between | ||
600,000 and 3,000,000.
| ||

effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1991, and | ||
their successors, shall be appointed in the
manner set | ||
forth in this amendatory Act of 1991.
