| 1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Mosquito Abatement District Act is amended | ||||||
| 5 | by changing Section 10 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (70 ILCS 1005/10) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 83)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 10. Any territory lying adjacent and contiguous to a | ||||||
| 8 | mosquito
abatement district, and not part of another mosquito | ||||||
| 9 | abatement district,
may be annexed to such district in the | ||||||
| 10 | following manner:
| ||||||
| 11 | (a) Upon petition in writing, describing the territory | ||||||
| 12 | proposed to be
annexed and signed by a majority of the legal | ||||||
| 13 | voters in such territory
and by the owners of more than half of | ||||||
| 14 | the taxable property in such
territory as shown by the last | ||||||
| 15 | ascertained equalized value of the
taxable property in such | ||||||
| 16 | territory, being filed with the trustees of
such mosquito | ||||||
| 17 | abatement district, such trustees may annex such territory
by a | ||||||
| 18 | resolution which shall be published at least once in a | ||||||
| 19 | newspaper
having a general circulation in the territory and | ||||||
| 20 | shall include a notice
of (1) the specific number of voters | ||||||
| 21 | required to sign a petition requesting
that the question of the | ||||||
| 22 | adoption of the resolution be submitted to the
electors of the | ||||||
| 23 | territory; (2) the time in which the petition must be filed;
| ||||||
| 24 | and (3) the date of the prospective referendum. The county | ||||||
| 25 | clerk of the
county in which the territory is situated shall | ||||||
| 26 | provide a petition form
to any individual requesting one. The | ||||||
| 27 | resolution shall be effective
30 days from the date of | ||||||
| 28 | publication and is subject to a referendum, if
such referendum | ||||||
| 29 | is requested, prior to the effective date of the
resolution, by | ||||||
| 30 | the voters in the district equal to 10% or more of the
| ||||||
| 31 | registered voters in the district. Such trustees may also order | ||||||
| 32 | the
question of the annexation of such territory to be | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | submitted to the legal
voters of such district at a regular | ||||||
| 2 | election therein by certifying the
question to the proper | ||||||
| 3 | election officials. Notice of such election shall
be given and | ||||||
| 4 | the election conducted in the manner provided by the general
| ||||||
| 5 | election law. The proposition shall be stated, "Shall the | ||||||
| 6 | territory
(describing it) be annexed to The.... Mosquito | ||||||
| 7 | Abatement District?" If the
majority of all the votes cast on | ||||||
| 8 | the question is in favor of such
annexation, the board of | ||||||
| 9 | trustees shall so certify to the county clerk, and
within ten | ||||||
| 10 | days of such election the trustees by an order duly entered | ||||||
| 11 | upon
their records shall annex such territory to the district | ||||||
| 12 | and shall file a
map of the annexed territory in the office of | ||||||
| 13 | the county clerk of the
county where the annexed territory is | ||||||
| 14 | situated. Thereupon such territory
shall be deemed annexed to | ||||||
| 15 | and shall be a part of such mosquito abatement
district.
| ||||||
| 16 | (b) Whenever a mosquito abatement district contains over | ||||||
| 17 | 90% of territory of a specific city or village, the mosquito | ||||||
| 18 | abatement district may annex additional adjacent and | ||||||
| 19 | contiguous territory within that city or village, but not | ||||||
| 20 | incorporated within a mosquito abatement district, by the | ||||||
| 21 | passage of an ordinance to that effect. However, no territory | ||||||
| 22 | may be annexed under this Section (i) more than one year after | ||||||
| 23 | it has first been included in that city or village unless the | ||||||
| 24 | territory so annexed is 50 acres or less or (ii) if the | ||||||
| 25 | annexation would expand the mosquito abatement district's | ||||||
| 26 | boundaries outside of a county unless the district already | ||||||
| 27 | contains territory in that county. | ||||||
| 28 | The ordinance shall describe the territory annexed and a | ||||||
| 29 | certified copy thereof together with an accurate map of the | ||||||
| 30 | annexed territory shall be filed in the offices of the county | ||||||
| 31 | clerk and recorder of each county in which the annexation takes | ||||||
| 32 | place.
