12 by intergovernmental agreement, for more than one year and not

1 facility for the disposal, treatment or recycling of solid
2 waste, and may enter into contracts with private firms or local
3 governments for the delivery of waste to such facility. In
4 regard to a contract involving a garbage, refuse, or garbage
5 and refuse incineration facility, the 30 year contract
6 limitation imposed by this Section shall be computed so that
7 the 30 years shall not begin to run until the date on which the
8 facility actually begins accepting garbage or refuse. The
9 payments required in regard to any contract entered into under
10 this Division 19 shall not be regarded as indebtedness of the
11 city, village, or incorporated town, as the case may be, for
12 the purpose of any debt limitation imposed by any law.
13     (b) If a municipality with a population of less than
14 1,000,000 has never awarded a franchise to a private entity for
15 the collection of waste from non-residential locations, then
16 that municipality may not award such a franchise without first:
17 (i) holding at least one public hearing seeking comment on the
18 advisability of awarding such a franchise; (ii) providing at
19 least 30 days' written notice of the hearing, delivered by
20 first class mail to all private entities that provide
21 non-residential waste collection services within the
22 municipality that the municipality is able to identify through
23 its records; and (iii) providing public notice of the hearing.
24 At the public hearing, the municipality must disclose and
25 discuss the proposed franchise fee or calculation formula of
26 such franchise fee that it will receive under the proposed

 

 

09500SB2297sam002 - 3 - LRB095 19075 RLJ 49458 a

1 franchise.
2     (c) If a municipality with a population of less than
3 1,000,000 has never awarded a franchise to a private entity for
4 the collection of waste from non-residential locations, then a
5 private entity may not begin providing waste collection
6 services to non-residential locations under a franchise
7 agreement with that municipality at any time before the date
8 that is 15 months after the date the ordinance or resolution
9 approving the award of the franchise is adopted.
10     (d) For purposes of this Section, "waste" means garbage,
11 refuse, or ashes as defined in Section 11-19-2.
12     (e) A home rule unit may not award a franchise to a private
13 entity for the collection of waste in a manner contrary to the
14 provisions of this Section. This Section is a limitation under
15 subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
16 Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of
17 powers and functions exercised by the State.
