Senate Bill 38 allows the Bloomington-Normal Airport Authority
board to create a new seat on the board for each municipality in the
district with a population greater than 5,000. "Adding two seats
to the board will make it easier for members of the board to talk
about business and prepare for meetings, allowing business to
transact in a more timely and efficient manner," Brady said. "This
is important as the Central Illinois Regional Airport at
Bloomington-Normal continues to set records for the volume of
travelers."
The newly appointed commissioners will serve a term of either
four or five years, initially determined by lot. All subsequent
terms will be for five years.
