The Board of Hospital Directors shall, immediately after appointment, meet and organize by the election of one of their number President and by the election of such other officers as they may deem necessary. They shall make and adopt such bylaws, rules and regulations for their own guidance and for the government of the hospital 1 as may be expedient, not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Illinois or of the ordinances of the City.
The Directors shall have the exclusive control of expenditure of all monies collected to the credit of the Hospital Fund, and of the construction of any hospital building and of the supervision, care and custody of the grounds, rooms or buildings constructed, leased or set apart for that purpose; provided, that all monies received for such hospital shall be deposited in the treasury of the City to the credit of the Hospital Fund, and shall be kept separate and apart from other monies of the City, and drawn upon by the proper officers of the City only upon properly authenticated vouchers of said board.
Said board shall have the power to appoint a competent and suitable Superintendent for said hospital, and all necessary nurses, and to fix their compensation, and shall also have power to remove such appointees; and shall, in general, carry out the spirit and intent of this chapter in establishing and maintaining a City hospital, including the charges made to the patients therein, always subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as the Hospital Board may adopt in order to render the use of said hospital of the greatest benefit to the greatest number; and the said board may exclude from said hospital any and all persons who shall wilfully violate such rules.
Said board may extend the privileges and use of said hospital to persons residing outside of the City in this State upon such terms and conditions as said board may from time to time by its regulations prescribe. (1968 Code, sec. 17-107)
