| changing Section 11-19-1 as follows:
| 6 |
| (65 ILCS 5/11-19-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-19-1)
| 7 |
| Sec. 11-19-1. Contracts. | 8 |
| (a) Any city, village or incorporated town may make | 9 |
| contracts
with any other city, village, or incorporated town or | 10 |
| with any person,
corporation, or county, or any agency created | 11 |
| by intergovernmental
agreement, for more than one year and not | 12 |
| exceeding 30 years
relating to the collection and final | 13 |
| disposition, or relating solely to
either the collection or | 14 |
| final disposition of garbage, refuse and ashes.
A municipality | 15 |
| may contract with private industry to operate a
designated | 16 |
| facility for the disposal, treatment or recycling of solid
| 17 |
| waste, and may enter into contracts with private firms or
local | 18 |
| governments for the delivery of waste to such facility.
In | 19 |
| regard to a contract involving a garbage, refuse, or garbage | 20 |
| and refuse
incineration facility, the 30 year contract | 21 |
| limitation imposed by this
Section shall be computed so that | 22 |
| the 30 years shall not begin to run until
the date on which the | 23 |
| facility actually begins accepting garbage or refuse.
