1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 15.4. Emergency Telephone System Board; powers.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) The corporate authorities of any county or municipality
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | that imposes a surcharge under Section 15.3 shall establish an | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Emergency
Telephone System Board. The corporate authorities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | shall provide for the
manner of appointment and the number of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | members of the Board, provided that
the board shall consist of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | not fewer than 5 members, one of whom
must be a
public member | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | who is a resident of the local exchange service territory
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | included in the 9-1-1 coverage area, one of whom (in counties | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | with a
population less than 100,000) must be a member of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | county
board, and
at least 3 of whom shall be representative of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | the 9-1-1 public safety agencies,
including but not limited to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | police departments, fire departments, emergency
medical | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | services providers, and emergency services and disaster | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | agencies, and
appointed on the basis of their ability or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | experience. Elected officials, including members of a county | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | board, are
also eligible to serve on the board. Members of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | board shall serve without

2 | for their actual and necessary

3 | municipalities, counties, or combination thereof,

7 | Section. The manner of
appointment of such a joint board shall | ||||||
8 | be prescribed in the agreement.
| ||||||
9 | (b) The powers and duties of the board shall be defined by | ||||||
10 | ordinance
of the municipality or county, or by | ||||||

3 | the board or, in the case of a joint board, any
municipal or | ||||||
4 | county treasurer designated in the intergovernmental | ||||||
5 | agreement,
shall be custodian of the fund. All interest | ||||||
6 | accruing on the fund shall remain

3 | bodies that have incurred those costs, of road

20 | also be used for any anti-terrorism or emergency | ||||||
21 | preparedness measures, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
22 | preparedness planning, providing local matching funds for | ||||||
23 | federal or State grants, personnel training, and | ||||||
24 | specialized equipment, including surveillance cameras as | ||||||

5 | limited to, public facilities and educational facilities, | ||||||
6 | provided that the expenditure of funds for the purchase of | ||||||
