Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Regular Meetings
				- Regular meetings of the Authority shall be held at least four (4) times per
				year at the offices of the Authority or at some location to be determined by
				the Chair when room is unavailable at the offices of the Authority or when
				necessary parties will be unable to attend unless the meeting is held
				elsewhere. Meetings and notice for meetings shall be in conformance with the
				Illinois Open Meetings Act.
b)
				Special Meetings - Special meetings of the Authority shall be called in
				conformance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act either by the Chair or by a
				request signed by at least five of the Authority members. Only matters
				contained in the agenda shall be voted on at any special meeting. In the event
				the need for a special meeting no longer exists or the Chair has notice that a
				quorum will not be reached, the Chair may cancel a special meeting provided
				that a meeting called at the request of Authority members may be cancelled only
				with their consent.
c) Quorum - A
				quorum shall constitute a majority of the Authority members then holding office
				who are present at the initial roll call at the commencement of any regular or
				special meeting. If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the
				meeting, the Chair may continue a roll call for a reasonable time after which,
				if a quorum is still not present, the meeting shall be adjourned.
d) Passage of Motions - After a quorum is
				announced a majority of those voting on a motion shall be sufficient to pass
				and make it the official act of the Authority. After a quorum is announced,
				Authority business may continue to be transacted by the members remaining,
				provided, however, that no vote may be taken unless at least one third of the
				members then holding office are still present at the time of the
				vote.
e) Voting Procedures - The
				Chair shall have the right to call for a vote by voice vote or by leave to
				adopt a previous roll call vote, in all cases unless there is an objection by
				one member, in which case a roll call vote shall be taken. The minutes shall
				reflect the results of each roll call.
f) Participation in Meetings
1) Proxies - Proxies to vote shall not be
				permitted. An Authority member must be present to record his or her vote and to
				present a motion or motions.
2)
				Written Communication - When unable to attend, Authority members may present
				signed and dated written communications which shall be distributed or read to
				Authority members by the Chair. Such written communication shall not be
				considered proxies, votes or motions. However, a motion or motions may be made
				by other members concerning the contents of such written
				communication.
3) Discussion -
				Discussion and participation in meetings shall be subject to Robert's Rules of
				Order. Non-Authority members may not address the Authority or otherwise
				participate in its meetings in any manner without the consent of the Chair.
				However, if there is an objection by an Authority member to such address there
				shall be a vote of the Authority upon the matter. The Executive Director and
				other members of the staff shall have the right to address the Authority and
				participate in discussion.
4)
				Disruption - Anyone disrupting or otherwise interfering with the conduct of a
				meeting shall be removed from the place of meeting by order of the
				Chair.
