|
Section 5. The Park District Code is amended by changing |
Section 2-17.5 as follows:
|
(70 ILCS 1205/2-17.5) |
Sec. 2-17.5. Fox Valley Park District. |
(a) The Fox Valley Pleasure Driveway and Park District is |
reorganized by operation of law as the Fox Valley Park District |
under this Code on July 16, 2014 (the effective date of Public |

(b) Each Fox Valley Park District commissioner shall be a |
legal voter and reside within the park district and, as to the |

subdistrict from which he or she is elected. The proper |
election authority shall conduct the elections for |
commissioners at the time and in the manner provided by the |
general election law. |
(c) Beginning with the consolidated election in 2017, 7 |
commissioners shall be elected for 4-year terms, consisting of |
6 commissioners from 3 2-member subdistricts districts, and 1 |
commissioner elected at large. The terms of office of the |
initial commissioners elected under Public Act 98-772 this |
|
amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly will run as |
follows, to be determined by lot: 4 members shall serve a |
4-year term and may be re-elected for subsequent 4-year terms, |
and 3 members shall serve a 2-year term and may be re-elected |
for subsequent 4-year terms thereafter. |
The initial three subdistricts districts of the Fox Valley |
Park District shall be as follows: |
(1) Those portions of Kane County and Kendall County |
west of the Fox River. |
(2) Those portions of Kane County and Kendall County |
east of the Fox River and south and west of a line |
following Indian Trail Road from the center line of the Fox |
River easterly to the intersection with Farnsworth Avenue, |
then southerly along Farnsworth Avenue to the intersection |
with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, then |
easterly to the county line. |
(3) Those portions of the district in DuPage County and |
Will County and that portion of Kane County generally north |

Avenue to the intersection with Burlington Northern Santa |
Fe Railroad, then easterly to the county line. |
In the year following the next decennial census and each |
decennial census thereafter, the board of commissioners shall |
reapportion the subdistricts districts to reflect the results |
|
of the census. A nominating petition for a candidate for |
commissioner of a subdistrict or for a candidate for the |
at-large commissioner shall contain signatures of registered |
voters residing anywhere within the Fox Valley Park District, |
but at least 50 such registered voters or 2% of the total |
number of ballots cast Park District-wide in the last preceding |
election for commissioners in the Fox Valley Park District, |
whichever is less. |
The term of office for the commissioners elected
under this
|
Section shall commence on the first Monday
of the month |
following the month of election. The terms of all appointed |
trustees serving on July 16, 2014 (the effective date of Public |
Act 98-772) this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly |
shall end when their successors have been elected and |
qualified. |
(d) The Fox Valley Park District board of commissioners |
shall elect officers of the board at the first meeting of the |
board following the next consolidated election for park |
district commissioners. |
(e) As of July 16, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act |
98-772) this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, each |
Fox Valley Pleasure Driveway and Park District trustee in |
office shall, as a member of the board of the Fox Valley Park |
District, perform the duties and exercise the powers conferred |
upon park board commissioners under this Code, until his or her |
successor is elected and has qualified. |
|
(f) Any tax authorized by referendum or other means under |
this Code and levied by the Fox Valley Pleasure Driveway and |
Park District before July 16, 2014 (the effective date of |
Public Act 98-772) this amendatory Act of the 98th General |
Assembly shall not be affected or abrogated because of the name |
change, and the Fox Valley Park District may continue to levy |
and collect that tax.
