§ 1722. Approval and organization
When the residents of the municipality, or each municipality when more than one is involved, or the municipal officers, as the case may be, have voted upon the formation of a proposed disposal district and all of the other questions submitted, the clerk of each of the municipalities shall make a return to the office department in such form as the office department may determine. If the office department finds from the returns that each of the municipalities involved, voting on each of the articles and questions submitted to them, has voted in the affirmative, and that the municipalities have appointed the necessary directors and listed the names of the directors to represent each municipality, and that all other steps in the formation of the proposed disposal district are in order and in conformity with law, the office department shall make a finding to that effect and record the finding upon its records. When 3 or more municipalities are concerned in the voting, and at least 2 have voted to approve each of the articles and questions submitted, appointed the necessary directors and listed the names of the directors to represent each municipality, rejection of the proposed disposal district by one or more does not defeat the creation of a district composed of the municipalities voting affirmatively on the question, if the office department determines and issues an order stating that it is feasible or practical to constitute the district as a geographic unit composed of the municipalities voting affirmatively, unless the vote submitted to the municipalities provided that specific participants or a minimum number of participants must approve the formation of the district.
The office department, immediately after making its findings, shall issue a certificate of organization in the name of the disposal district in such form as the office department determines. The original certificate must be delivered to the directors on the day that they are directed to organize and a copy of the certificate duly attested by the executive director of the office commissioner must be filed and recorded in the office of the Secretary of State. The issuance of the certificate by the office department is conclusive evidence of the lawful organization of the disposal district. The disposal district is not operative until the date set by the directors under section 1726.

Appointments must be by vote of the municipal officers, attested to by the municipal clerk and presented to the clerk of the district. The municipal officers, by majority vote, may remove their appointed representatives during their term for stated reasons, but directors may not be removed except for neglect of duty, misconduct or other acts that indicate an unfitness to serve. Upon receipt of the names of all the directors, the office department shall set a time, place and date for the first meeting of the directors, notice of the meeting to be given to the directors by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and mailed at least 10 days prior to the date set for the meeting.

The board of directors may authorize the inclusion of additional member municipalities in the district upon the terms and conditions as the board, in its sole discretion, determines to be fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the district, except that on proper application any municipality that is host to a waste facility of the district must be admitted on equal terms with existing members , provided that if the new member municipality assumes or becomes responsible for a proportionate share of liabilities of the district in a manner similar to that of existing municipalities. The legislative body of any nonmember municipality that desires to be admitted to the district shall make application for admission to the board of directors of the district. The directors shall determine the effects and impacts that are likely to occur if the municipality is admitted and shall either grant or deny authority for admission of the petitioning municipality. If the directors grant the authority, they shall also specify any terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, financial obligations upon which the admission is predicated. The petitioning municipality shall comply with the voting procedures specified in section 1721. The vote, if in the affirmative, must be certified by the clerk of that municipality to the board of directors and to the office department. Upon satisfactory performance of the terms and conditions of admission, the municipality by resolution of the board of directors becomes and thereafter is a member municipality of the district. The clerk of the district shall promptly certify to the agency and the Secretary of State that the municipality has become a member of the district. The certification is conclusive evidence that the municipality is a lawful member of the district. Upon admission of a municipality to a district, the provisions of section 1724 determine the number of votes to be cast by the director or directors representing that municipality.
