This authority does not apply to any interest that has been earmarked or restricted by the board for a designated purpose. This authority does not apply to any interest earned on any funds for purposes of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Retirement Fund or Reserve Claim Fund. The board of trustees, by a two-thirds vote of all its members, may transfer fund balances between its Working Cash Funds. (Source: P.A. 101-670, eff. 1-1-22.)
