1505	1505	13 employee. The Board shall grant a hearing on such complaint

1507	1507	15 of the hearing shall be fixed by the Board and due notice

1541	1541	13 reduce the force of employees for lack of work or lack of funds
1542	1542	14 as determined by the Board. When the number of positions or
1543	1543	15 employees holding positions of regular employment within a
1544	1544	16 particular job title and job schedule number are reduced,

5346	5346	14 Service Board of constructing or acquiring any public
5347	5347	15 transportation facilities (including funds and rights relating
5348	5348	16 thereto, as provided in Section 2.05 of this Act); to repay

5376	5376	9 In addition to any other borrowing as may be authorized by
5377	5377	10 this Section, the Authority may issue its notes, from time to
5378	5378	11 time, in anticipation of tax receipts of the Authority or of
5379	5379	12 other revenues or receipts of the Authority, in order to

5382	5382	15 anticipates incurring. Any such notes are referred to in this
5383	5383	16 Section as "Working Cash Notes". No Working Cash Notes shall
5384	5384	17 be issued for a term of longer than 24 months. Proceeds of

5598	5598	15 provisions as part of the contract with the holders of the
5599	5599	16 bonds or notes, for the creation of a separate fund to provide
5600	5600	17 for the payment of principal and interest on such bonds or

5624	5624	5 Nothing in this Act shall be construed to enable the Authority
5625	5625	6 to impose any ad valorem tax on property.

5628	5628	9 for such bonds or notes by providing for appointment of a
5629	5629	10 corporate trustee (which may be any trust company or bank
5630	5630	11 having the powers of a trust company within the state) with
5631	5631	12 respect to such bonds or notes. The ordinance shall prescribe
5632	5632	13 the rights, duties, and powers of the trustee to be exercised
5633	5633	14 for the benefit of the Authority and the protection of the
5634	5634	15 holders of such bonds or notes. The ordinance may provide for
5635	5635	16 the trustee to hold in trust, invest, and use amounts in funds
5636	5636	17 and accounts created as provided by the ordinance with respect
5637	5637	18 to the bonds or notes. The ordinance may provide for the
5638	5638	19 assignment and direct payment to the trustee of any or all

5660	5660	5 be deposited, held or invested in funds and accounts created
5661	5661	6 by the ordinance with respect to bonds or notes or used for

5666	5666	11 and the holders from time to time of such bonds or notes. In
5667	5667	12 issuing any bond or note, the Authority may include in the
5668	5668	13 ordinance authorizing such issue a covenant as part of the
5669	5669	14 contract with the holders of the bonds or notes, that as long
5670	5670	15 as such obligations are outstanding, it shall make such
5671	5671	16 deposits, as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section. It may
5672	5672	17 also so covenant that it shall impose and continue to impose
5673	5673	18 taxes, as provided in Section 4.03 of this Act and in addition
5674	5674	19 thereto as subsequently authorized by law, sufficient to make
5675	5675	20 such deposits and pay the principal and interest and to meet
5676	5676	21 other debt service requirements of such bonds or notes as they
5677	5677	22 become due. A certified copy of the ordinance authorizing the
5678	5678	23 issuance of any such obligations shall be filed at or prior to
5679	5679	24 the issuance of such obligations with the Comptroller of the
5680	5680	25 State of Illinois and the Illinois Department of Revenue.

5947	5947	5 determination of the Executive Director, made pursuant to
5948	5948	6 Section 2.01d, of the costs of ADA paratransit services that
5949	5949	7 are required to be provided under the federal Americans with

5955	5955	13 also advise each Service Board that provides ADA paratransit
5956	5956	14 services of its required system generated ADA paratransit
5957	5957	15 services revenue recovery ratio for the next fiscal year which
5958	5958	16 shall be the percentage of the aggregate costs of providing
5959	5959	17 ADA paratransit services by or under jurisdiction of that
5960	5960	18 Service Board which must be recovered from fares charged for
