and policies and procedures.  Any officers, attorneys, engineers,
consultants, agents and employees appointed in accordance with this Section
22 shall report to the chief executive officer.

(b) The Board may appoint other officers who are subject to the
general control of the Board and who are subordinate to the chief executive

engineers, consultants, agents and employees as may be necessary.  It shall
define their duties and require bonds of such of them as the Board may
designate.

(c) The chief executive officer and other officers appointed by the
Board pursuant to this
Section shall be exempt from taking and subscribing any oath of office and
shall not be members of the Board.  The compensation of the chief executive
officer and all other
officers, attorneys, consultants, agents and employees shall be fixed by
the Board.

(d) The Board shall adopt a personnel code governing the Authority's
employment, evaluation, promotion and discharge of employees.  Such code
may be modeled after the standards and procedures found in the Personnel Code,
including provisions for (i) competitive examinations, (ii) eligibility
lists for appointment and promotion, (iii) probationary periods and
performance records, (iv) layoffs, discipline and discharges, and (v) such
other matters, not inconsistent with law, as may be necessary for the
proper and efficient operation of the Authority and its facilities.

The Authority shall conduct an annual review of (i) the performance of
the officers appointed by the Board who are subordinate to the chief

Authority during the previous twelve month period.

(e)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the contrary, the position of chief executive officer ends on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly. The Trustee shall assume all of the  responsibilities of the chief executive officer. The Board created by this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall appoint a chief executive officer, provided the chief executive officer shall not be appointed until the Trustee has served a term of 18 months.
