1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hall
The central issue in this case is whether relevant sections of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act (Act) (70 ILCS 2605/1 et seq. (West 1994)), together with Personnel Rule 7.046, give plaintiff, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (District), the authority to administer a promotional examination to create a new “eligible list” from which to fill a vacancy, rather than fill the vacancy from an eligible list in force at the time the vacancy opened. We hold that the District does not possess such statutory authority.
