19 faithful adherence to the rules and regulations of the county
20 board promulgated pursuant to the authorization granted to it
21 by this Section or by Section 5-1062 of this Code, and in such
22 cases no such map, plat or subdivision shall be entitled to
23 record in the proper county or have any validity until it has
24 been so approved. If the county board requires a cash bond,
25 letter of credit, surety, or any other method to cover the
26 costs and expenses and to insure completion of the
27 requirements, the requirements shall be subject to the
28 provisions of Section 5-1123 of this Code. This Section is
29 subject to the provisions of Section 5-1123.
30     The county board may, by resolution, provide a schedule of
31 fees sufficient to reimburse the county for the costs incurred
32 in reviewing such maps, plats and subdivisions submitted for

34 Section are to be paid into the general corporate fund of the

4 expenditures thereof, "public grounds for schools" is defined
5 as including land or site improvements, which include school
6 buildings or other infrastructure necessitated and
7 specifically and uniquely attributable to the development or

25     No officer designated by a county board for the approval of
26 plats shall engage in the business of surveying, and no map,
27 plat or subdivision shall be received for record or have any
28 validity which has been prepared by or under the direction of
29 such plat officer.
30     It is the intention of this amendatory Act of 1990 to
31 repeal the language added to Section 25.09 of "An Act to revise
32 the law in relation to counties", approved March 31, 1874, by
