(65 ILCS 5/5-2-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 5-2-1)
Sec. 5-2-1.
If a city or village adopts the managerial form of municipal
government and also elects to choose alderpersons or trustees, as the case may
be, from wards or districts, then the city council shall be constituted as
provided in Sections 5-2-2 through 5-2-10 and the village board shall be
constituted as provided in Section 5-2-11 and the incumbent alderpersons,
trustees, mayor, president, clerk and treasurer shall continue in office
until expiration of their present terms. If a city has voted to elect only
one alderperson from each ward then no election for a successor for the alderperson
from each ward whose term next expires shall be held, and upon the
expiration of the terms of the alderpersons having the longest time to serve at
the time of adoption of this Article 5 only one successor shall be elected
from each ward. In case a city votes to elect only one alderperson from each
ward, the number of alderpersons prescribed by Section 5-2-2 shall be halved,
for the purposes of this Article 5 and the provisions of Section 5-2-4
prescribing the number of wards shall not apply but such city shall have an
equal number of wards and alderpersons. The mayor of a city and the president
of a village board shall be elected from the city or village at large.
