(65 ILCS 5/11-48.3-16) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-48.3-16)
Sec. 11-48.3-16.
Members of the Board shall hold office until their
respective successors have been appointed and qualified. Any member may
resign from office to take effect when his or her successor has been
appointed and has qualified. The appointing officer may remove any member
of the Board appointed by him or her, in case of incompetency, neglect of
duty, or malfeasance in office, after service on the member, by registered
United States mail, return receipt requested, of a copy of the written
charges against him or her and an opportunity to be publicly heard in
person or by counsel in his or her own defense upon not less than 10 days'
notice. In case of failure to qualify within the time required, or of
abandonment of office, or in case of death, conviction of a felony or
removal from office, a member's office shall become vacant. Each vacancy
shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment in like manner, as in
case of expiration of the term of a member of the Board.
