22 of this amendatory Act of 1997, disconnected from the city by
23 court order or ordinance, the territory shall automatically
24 be disconnected from the otherwise coterminous township and
25 connected to the adjacent township, and the transfer of the
26 territory shall not affect the city's status as a city with a
