ICC BOARD OF TRUSTEES SEEKS CANDIDATES FOR OPEN SEAT
Illinois Central College Board of
Trustees, in action during closed session at last night’s meeting, determined
the process it will follow to fill the seat formerly held by James K. Polk.
Polk, who died on Nov. 8 at age 77, was appointed to the Board in 1997 and was
elected in his own right to the position in 1999. He continued in this role
until his death. His current term would have expired in April 2017.
Those interested in applying for
the position must be a U.S. citizen aged 18 years of age or older and must be a
resident of Illinois and of Illinois Community College District #514 for at
least one year immediately preceding the appointment.
Applicants must apply by noon on
December 8, 2016, in order to be considered.
The Illinois Open Meetings Act
requires the Board to make a decision to fill the vacancy within 60 days. If
the Board fails to select a candidate, the chairman of the Illinois Community
College Board (ICCB) reserves the right to appoint an individual to fulfill the
term.
The Board will discuss the
selection for the appointment at its December 15 regular meeting during closed
session. The new trustee will be seated during the January 19, 2017, meeting.
The successful candidate will
complete Polk’s term from January through April 2017. The new trustee will be
required to submit an Economic Interest Statement with Tazewell County Clerk
and to take the online Open Meetings Act training within 30 days of the
appointment.
ICC Board of Trustees meetings are
typically held the third Thursday of the month at 3 pm on the East Peoria
Campus.
