 (from Ch. 34, par. 2-3007)Sec. 2-3007. Chairman of county board; election and term. Any  county board when providing for the reapportionment of its county under  this Division may provide that the chairman of the county board shall be  elected by the voters of the county rather than by the members of the  board. In that event, provision shall be made for the election throughout  the county of the chairman of the county board, but in counties over  3,000,000 population no person may be elected to serve as such chairman who  has not been elected as a county board member to serve during the same  period as the term of office as chairman of the county board to which he  seeks election.  In counties over 300,000 population and under 3,000,000  population, the chairman shall be elected as chairman without having been  first elected to the county board. Such chairman shall not vote on any  question except to break a tie vote. In all other counties the chairman may  either be elected as a county board member or elected as the chairman  without having been first elected to the board.  Except in counties where  the chairman of the county board is elected by the voters of the county and  is not required to be a county board member, whether the chairman of the  county board is elected by the voters of the county or by the members of  the board, he shall be elected to a  2 year term. In counties where the  chairman of the county board is elected by the voters of the county and is  not required to be a county board member, the chairman shall be elected to  a 4 year term.  In all cases: (i) the term of the chairman  of the county board shall commence on the first Monday of the month  following the month in which members of the county board are elected, and (ii) no person may simultaneously serve as a member of a county board and the chairman of the same board if the office of chairman is elected by the voters of the county rather than by the members of the board.

At the time it reapportions its county under this Division,  the county board shall determine whether the salary to be paid the members  to be elected shall be computed on a per diem basis, on an annual basis or  on a combined per diem and annual basis, and shall fix the amount of that  salary.  If the county board desires before the next reapportionment to  change the basis of payment or amount of compensation after fixing those  items, it may do so by ordinance or by resolution.  Those changes shall not  however, take effect during the term for which an incumbent county board  member has been elected.  In addition, the county board shall determine the  amount of any additional compensation for the chairman of the county board.   The county board may adjust that additional compensation at any time  adjustments in the salary of board members may be made.
