Section 3-7002 of the Counties Code does not authorize Cook County Sheriff either explicitly or by implication to appoint a person to Merit Board for less than a 6-year term. Decision of Merit Board was void because Merit Board was illegally constituted at time of 10/30/13 decision to terminate Plaintiff's employment. (GORDON and LAMPKIN, concurring.)
