AN ACT concerning sanitary districts.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Sanitary District Act of 1936 is amended
by changing Section 4 as follows:
(70 ILCS 2805/4) (from Ch. 42, par. 415)
Sec. 4. The trustees shall constitute a board of
trustees for the sanitary district. The board of trustees is
the corporate authority of the sanitary district, and may
exercise all the powers and manage and control all the
affairs and property of the district. The board of trustees
at the beginning of each new term of office shall meet and
elect one of their number as president, one of their number
as vice-president, and from or outside of their membership a
clerk and an assistant clerk. In case of the death,
resignation, absence from the state, or other disability of
the president, the powers, duties and emoluments of the
office of the president shall devolve upon the
vice-president, until such disability is removed or until a
successor to the president is appointed and chosen in the
manner provided in this Act. The board may select a
treasurer, engineer and attorney for the district, who shall
hold their respective offices during the pleasure of the
board, and give such bond as may be required by the board.
The board may appoint such other officers and hire such
employees to manage and control the operations of the
district as it deems necessary. The board may prescribe the
duties and fix the compensation of all the officers and
employees of the sanitary district. However, no member of the
board of trustees shall receive more than $6,000 $3,000 per
year. The board of trustees has full power to pass all
necessary ordinances, rules and regulations for the proper
management and conduct of the business of the board and the
sanitary district, and for carrying into effect the
collection and disposal of sewage and the purposes for which
the sanitary district was formed. Such ordinances may
provide for a fine for each offense of not less than $100 or
more than $1,000. Each day's continuance of such violation
shall be a separate offense. Fines pursuant to this Section
are recoverable by the sanitary district in a civil action.
The sanitary district is authorized to apply to the circuit
court for injunctive relief or mandamus when, in the opinion
of the chief administrative officer, such relief is necessary
to protect the sewerage system of the sanitary district. The
board of trustees has the sole and exclusive authority for
regulation and inspection of drainage lines to determine
their adequacy and suitability for connection to the sewage
system of the district.
