AN ACT concerning local government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Downstate Forest Preserve District Act is |
amended by adding Section 6f as follows: |
(70 ILCS 805/6f new) |
Sec. 6f. A forest preserve district that acquires a parcel |
of land in excess of 600 acres that includes one or more |
vacant, subdivided residential outlots on the boundary of the |
600 acres, regardless of whether the outlots are contiguous to |
one another, may sell the outlots when the board of |
commissioners determines that the sale is advantageous to the |
district. The board shall approve the sale by an affirmative |
vote of two-thirds of the members of the board then holding |
office. A sale may not be approved by the board unless all the |
parcels involved in the sale have been appraised by an MIA |
appraiser or a State-certified real estate appraiser within one |
year before the date the sale is to take effect. Any property |
sold under this Section must be sold for fair market value. The |
net proceeds of the sale of any parcel of land under this |
Section shall be set aside and expended only for capital |
improvements that are required to make the 600 acres accessible |
and open to the public or the payment of bond indebtedness |
