| ||||||

| ||||||
6 | (50 ILCS 750/15.4) (from Ch. 134, par. 45.4) | ||||||
7 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2020) | ||||||
8 | Sec. 15.4. Emergency Telephone System Board; powers. | ||||||
9 | (a) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this Section, | ||||||
10 | the corporate authorities of any county or municipality
may | ||||||
11 | establish an Emergency

12 | The corporate authorities shall provide for the
manner of | ||||||
13 | appointment and the number of members of the Board, provided | ||||||
14 | that
the board shall consist of not fewer than 5 members, one | ||||||
15 | of whom
must be a
public member who is a resident of the local | ||||||
16 | exchange service territory
included in the 9-1-1 coverage area, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | one of whom (in counties with a
population less than 100,000) | ||||||
2 | may be a member of the county
board, and
at least 3 of whom | ||||||
3 | shall be representative of the 9-1-1 public safety agencies,
| ||||||
4 | including but not limited to police departments, fire | ||||||
5 | departments, emergency

6 | emergency services and disaster agencies, and
appointed on the | ||||||
7 | basis of their ability or experience. In counties with a | ||||||
8 | population of more than 100,000 but less than 2,000,000, a | ||||||
9 | member of the county board may serve on the Emergency Telephone | ||||||
10 | System Board. Elected officials, including members of a county | ||||||
11 | board, are
also eligible to serve on the board. Members of the | ||||||
12 | board shall serve without

13 | for their actual and necessary
expenses. Any 2 or more | ||||||
14 | municipalities, counties, or combination thereof,
may, instead | ||||||
15 | of establishing
individual boards, establish by | ||||||
16 | intergovernmental agreement a Joint

17 | Board under pursuant to this Section. The manner of
appointment | ||||||
18 | of such a joint board shall be prescribed in the agreement , but | ||||||

21 | board . The remaining members appointed to the joint board, if a | ||||||
22 | county is to be represented on the joint board, may be elected | ||||||
23 | officials or representatives from the 9-1-1 public safety | ||||||
24 | agencies within the coverage area of the agreement. On or after | ||||||
25 | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General | ||||||
26 | Assembly, any new intergovernmental agreement entered into to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | establish or join a Joint Emergency Telephone System Board | ||||||
2 | shall provide for the appointment of a PSAP representative to | ||||||
3 | the board. | ||||||
4 | Upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th | ||||||
5 | General Assembly, appointed members of the Emergency Telephone | ||||||
6 | System Board shall serve staggered 3-year terms if: (1) the | ||||||
7 | Board serves a county with a population of 100,000 or less; and | ||||||
8 | (2) appointments, on the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
9 | of the 98th General Assembly, are not for a stated term. The | ||||||
10 | corporate authorities of the county or municipality shall | ||||||

16 | members' terms shall expire on January 1, 2017. Board members | ||||||
17 | may be re-appointed upon the expiration of their terms by the | ||||||

19 | The corporate authorities of a county or municipality may, | ||||||
20 | by a vote of the majority of the members elected, remove an | ||||||
21 | Emergency Telephone System Board member for misconduct, | ||||||
22 | official misconduct, or neglect of office. | ||||||
23 | (b) The powers and duties of the board shall be defined by | ||||||
24 | ordinance

25 | intergovernmental agreement in the
