(20 ILCS 860/5a) (from Ch. 105, par. 535a)
Sec. 5a.
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
historic properties and interests surveyed, acquired or developed
pursuant to any program participated in by this State under authority of
this Act, such historic properties and interests shall
be publicly maintained for
historic preservation 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,
other governmental unit or qualified participant provided such county, city, other local
governmental unit or qualified participant 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
historic properties and interests will be
operated and maintained at its expense for
historic preservation purposes.
