NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by this County Board of Lake County, Illinois, that the number of appeals filed with the Board of Review has created an emergency situation and has caused a need for an expanded Board of Review through May 31, 2009; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the said additional members for an expanded Board of Review shall be the persons appointed by the Chairman of the Board from the list of people qualified by virtue of their having passed the State Board of Review examination and as recommended from time-to-time by the Clerk of the Board of Review; and
