and
6) One member from the Illinois
Association of Fire Protection Districts.
b) The Authority's Chief Financial Officer,
or his or her designee, will serve as an ex officio member of the Committee for
the purpose of reviewing loan documentation to ensure that all documents
necessary for the Authority to conduct its loan review are present.
c) Members shall serve without salary, but
may receive reimbursement for reasonable expenses from the Office from
appropriations for those purposes.
d) All members shall have one vote except for
the Chair and the Authority's Chief Financial Officer or his or her designee.
The Chair shall only vote to break a tie.

with two members' terms expiring each year. Members shall be appointed for
initial terms as follows: two members shall serve terms of one year; two

member, the State Fire Marshal shall fill the vacancy for the remainder of the
unexpired term by appointing a member who is a representative of the same
interests with which his or her predecessor was identified.
h) Regular meetings of the Committee shall
occur as often as deemed necessary by the Chair, at a date, time and place to
be fixed by the Committee (or by the Chair, should he or she call for the
meeting) and at such additional times as the Committee deems necessary, for the
consideration of loan applications, reviews, and Requests for Reconsideration,
and the transaction of any other business as properly may come before
it.
i) A quorum shall be a majority
of the appointed positions that have been filled by appointment. Unfilled
positions shall not be counted.

No Committee member affiliated with a fire department that has a pending
application for a loan under this Program shall participate in the review of

participate in annual ethics training. Upon completion of the ethics training
program, members of the Committee must certify that they have completed the
training program.

Committee are required to execute a confidentiality statement agreeing not to
disclose any information gained during the course of their service on the
Committee.
