(20 ILCS 860/5) (from Ch. 105, par. 535)
Sec. 5.
Projects involving participating federal-aid funds may be undertaken
by the Department of Natural Resources after it has been
determined that sufficient funds are available to the Department for meeting
the non-federal share of project costs. It is the legislative intent that, to
such extent as may be necessary to assure the proper operation, maintenance and
preservation of areas and facilities surveyed, acquired or developed pursuant
to any program participated in by this State under authority of this Act, such
areas and facilities shall be publicly maintained for outdoor recreation
purposes. The Department of Natural Resources may enter
into and administer agreements with the United States or any appropriate agency
thereof for survey, planning, acquisition, development and preservation
projects involving participating federal-aid funds on behalf of any county,
city, or other governmental unit provided such county, city, or other local
governmental unit gives necessary assurances to the Department of Natural
Resources that it has available sufficient funds to meet its
share of the cost of the project and that the surveyed, acquired or developed
areas and facilities will be operated and maintained at its expense for public
outdoor recreation
use.
