 (from Ch. 23, par. 12-21.10)Sec. 12-21.10.         Default and misappropriation of funds; Removal of  supervisor; Conditions requiring appointment of interim supervisor.   If the Supervisor of General Assistance is a defaulter and in arrears  with the governmental unit, or has misused, misappropriated, or  converted to his own use or the use of any other person any of the funds  of the unit, or is guilty of any other misconduct in office, the  governing body of the governmental unit, and in the case of a township,  the board of town trustees, may remove him as Supervisor of General  Assistance and appoint a suitable person to be the supervisor therein;  provided, that for a township containing 4,000 inhabitants or more, upon  written request of the township supervisors, the board of town trustees  may appoint a Supervisor of General Assistance who is a resident of such  township, and fix his compensation and term of office, which shall not  exceed the term of the board.If, as provided in Section 12-21.18, the Illinois Department has  ordered the withholding of State funds for failure of the governmental  unit to comply with the Department's rules and regulations, the  governing body of the governmental unit, and in the case of a township,  the board of town trustees, upon written order of the Illinois  Department shall appoint an Interim Supervisor of General Assistance,  acceptable to the Illinois Department, to serve as Supervisor of General  Assistance for the governmental unit until such time as the policies and  procedures of the unit are determined by the Department to be in  compliance with its rules. If, after a reasonable time as determined by  the Illinois Department, the governmental unit or agency to which such  order is directed fails to make an appointment, or appoints a person who  is not acceptable to the Illinois Department, the Public Aid Committee,  established under Section 11-8, of the county in which the governmental  unit is located, upon written order of the Illinois Department, shall  appoint an Interim Supervisor, which appointment shall be subject to the  approval of the Illinois Department.The appointing authority shall fix the compensation of the Interim  Supervisor of General Assistance, subject to approval of the Illinois  Department, which shall be payable from the general assistance fund of  the local governmental unit.An Interim Supervisor of General Assistance may be removed and  another person appointed in his place in the same manner and for the  same reasons as in the case of an initial appointment of an Interim  Supervisor.The Illinois Department shall not order the appointment of an Interim  Supervisor of General Assistance if the local governmental unit takes  such action as the Department considers to have established satisfactory  compliance with its rules, and a reasonable time, to be determined by  the Department, shall be allowed the governmental unit to establish such  compliance.If an Interim Supervisor of General Assistance has been appointed, he  shall exercise all the powers of that office in respect to the  administration of general assistance, and shall have the sole authority  to disburse State and local funds available for this purpose. If the  governmental unit thereafter takes such action to assure the Department  that it will comply with the Department's rules, the service of the  Interim Supervisor shall be terminated.
