§ 22.

Chief executive officer. (a) The chief executive officer of the Authority shall be responsible for the management of the properties, business and employees of the authority, shall direct the enforcement of all ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations of the Board, and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board. The chief executive officer, in his discretion, may make recommendations to the Board with respect to appointments pursuant to this Section 22, contracts and policies and procedures. Any officers, attorneys, engineers, consultants, agents and employees appointed in accordance with this Section 22 shall report to the chief executive officer. (b) The Board may appoint other officers who are subject to the general control of the Board and who are subordinate to the chief executive officer. The Board shall provide for the appointment of such other officers, attorneys, engineers, consultants, agents and employees as may be necessary. It shall define their duties and require bonds of such of them as the Board may designate. (c) The chief executive officer and other officers appointed by the Board pursuant to this Section shall be exempt from taking and subscribing any oath of office and shall not be members of the Board. The compensation of the chief executive officer and all other officers, attorneys, consultants, agents and employees shall be fixed by the Board. (d) The Board shall adopt a personnel code governing the Authority's employment, evaluation, promotion and discharge of employees. Such code may be modeled after the standards and procedures found in the Personnel Code, including provisions for (i) competitive examinations, (ii) eligibility lists for appointment and promotion, (iii) probationary periods and performance records, (iv) layoffs, discipline and discharges, and (v) such other matters, not inconsistent with law, as may be necessary for the proper and efficient operation of the Authority and its facilities. The Authority shall conduct an annual review of (i) the performance of the officers appointed by the Board who are subordinate to the chief executive officer and (ii) the services provided by outside attorneys, construction managers, or consultants who have been retained by, or performed services for, the Authority during the previous twelve month period. (e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the contrary, the position of chief executive officer ends on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly. The Trustee shall assume all of the responsibilities of the chief executive officer. The Board created by this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall appoint a chief executive officer, provided the chief executive officer shall not be appointed until the Trustee has served a term of 18 months.
