Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||

| ||||
(60 ILCS 1/85-13)
| ||||
Sec. 85-13. Township services, generally.
| ||||
(a) The township board may either expend funds directly or | ||||
may enter into
any cooperative agreement or contract with any | ||||
other governmental entity,
not-for-profit corporation, | ||||
non-profit community service association, or any
for-profit | ||||
business entity as provided in subsection (b) with respect to | ||||
the
expenditure of township funds, or funds made available to | ||||
the township under
the federal State and Local Fiscal | ||||
Assistance Act of 1972, to provide any of
the following | ||||
services to the residents of the township:
| ||||
(1) Ordinary and necessary maintenance and operating | ||||
expenses for the
following:
| ||||
(A) Public safety (including law enforcement, fire | ||||
protection, and
building code enforcement).
| ||||
(B) Environmental protection (including sewage | ||||
disposal, sanitation,
and pollution abatement).
| ||||
(C) Public transportation (including transit | ||||
systems, paratransit
systems, and streets and roads).
| ||
(D) Health.
| ||
(E) Recreation.
| ||
(F) Libraries.
| ||

| ||

| ||
(b) To be eligible to receive funds from the township under | ||
this Section, a

been in existence at | ||
least one year before receiving the funds. The township
board | ||
may, however, for the purpose of providing day care services, | ||
contract

Act of 1969, regardless
of whether the facilities are organized | ||
on a for-profit or not-for-profit
basis.
| ||
(c) Township governments that directly expend or contract | ||
for day care
shall use the standard of need established by the | ||
Department of Children and
Family Services in determining | ||
recipients of subsidized day care and shall use
the rate | ||
schedule used by the Department of Children and Family Services | ||
for
the purchase of subsidized day care.
| ||
(d) Township governments that directly expend or contract | ||
for senior
citizen services may contract with for-profit (or | ||
not-for-profit) and
non-sectarian organizations as provided in | ||
Sections 220-15 and 220-35.
| ||
(e) Those township supervisors or other elected township | ||
officials who are
also members of a county board shall not vote | ||
on questions before the township
board or the county board that | ||
relate to agreements or contracts between the
township and the | ||
county under this Section or agreements or contracts between
| ||
the township and the county that are otherwise authorized by | ||
law.
| ||
(f) The township board may enter into direct agreements | ||
with for-profit
corporations or other business entities to | ||
carry out recycling programs in
unincorporated areas of the | ||
township.
| ||
The township board may by ordinance administer a recycling | ||
program or adopt rules and regulations relating to
recycling | ||
programs in unincorporated areas of the township that it from | ||
time to
time deems necessary and may provide penalties for | ||
violations of those rules
and regulations.
| ||
(g) For purposes of alleviating high unemployment, | ||
economically depressed
conditions, and lack of moderately | ||
priced housing, the trustees of a
township that includes all or | ||
a portion of a city that is a "financially
distressed city" | ||
under the Financially Distressed City Law may contract with
one | ||
or more not-for-profit or for-profit organizations to | ||
construct and operate
within the boundaries of the township a | ||
factory designed to manufacture housing
or housing components. | ||
The contract may provide for the private organization or
| ||
organizations to manage some or all operations of the factory | ||
and may provide
for (i) payment of employee compensation and | ||
taxes; (ii) discharge of other
legal responsibilities; (iii) | ||
sale of products; (iv) disposition of the
factory, equipment, | ||
and other property; and (v) any other matters the township
| ||
trustees consider reasonable.
