SYNOPSIS

• (17-01) The Commission did not comply
with the Mid-Illinois Medical District Act.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE MID-ILLINOIS MEDICAL
DISTRICT ACT

The Mid-Illinois Medical District
Commission (Commission) did not comply with
the Mid-Illinois Medical District Act
(Act).  During testing, we noted the
following:

• For two of 10 (20%) Commission meetings
held during the examination period, there
was not a quorum of at least six
Commissioners present.

• For one of three (33%) Commissioner
vacancies caused by term expiration, the
Commission did not ensure that the
Commissioner appointed to fill the vacancy
served a term with a start date that
matched the expiration date of the previous
term.

• One of nine (11%) Commissioners appointed
during the examination period did not file
an oath of office. (Finding 1, pages 10-11)

We recommended the Commission:
• ensure all meetings have a quorum of
Commissioners present;
• ensure each Commissioner’s term of office
complies with the Act; and,
• ensure each new Commissioner files an
oath of office.

Commission officials agreed with the
finding.
