Within 60 days after the organization of any mosquito abatement district under the provisions of this Act a board of trustees, consisting of 5 members, for the government and control of the affairs and business of such mosquito abatement district shall be appointed in the following manner:
(1) If the district lies wholly within a single township, the board of trustees of that township shall appoint the trustees for the district but no township official is eligible for such appointment;
(2) If the district is not contained wholly within a single township, but is located wholly within a single county, the trustees for the district shall be appointed by the presiding officer of the county board with the advice and consent of the county board;
(3) If the district lies wholly within a municipality, the governing body of the municipality shall appoint trustees for the district;
(4) If the district does not conform to any of the foregoing classifications, the trustees for the district shall be from each county in the district in numbers proportionate, as nearly as practicable, to the number of residents of the district who reside in each county in relation to the total population of the district. Trustees shall be appointed by the county board of their respective counties, or in the case of a home rule county as defined by Article VII, Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution, by the chief executive officer of that county with the advice and consent of the county board.
Upon the expiration of the term of a trustee who is in office on the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975 or at the time of the publication of each decennial Federal census of population, the successor shall be a resident of whichever county is entitled to such representation in order to bring about the proportional representation required herein, and he shall be appointed by the appointing authority of that county. Thereafter, each trustee shall be succeeded by a resident of the same county who shall be appointed by the same appointing authority. Of the trustees thus appointed 3 shall hold office until the second Monday in December after the next succeeding general election for members of the General Assembly and 2 shall hold office until the second Monday in December, 2 years after the next succeeding general election for members of the General Assembly, and until their successors are appointed and qualified. Thereafter the trustees of the district shall be appointed in every year in which the term of any of the trustees expires and shall hold office for 4 years and until their successors are appointed and qualified. Each trustee shall be a legal voter in the district, and such trustees shall serve without compensation.
Whenever a vacancy occurs in the board of trustees the appropriate appointing authority shall appoint some person to fill the remainder of the unexpired term.
(1) If the district lies wholly within a single township, the board of trustees of that township shall appoint the trustees for the district but no township official is eligible for such appointment;
