(50 ILCS 460/50)
Sec. 50.
Alternative local procedure.
Upon the request of all of the owners of record to be subject to
assessment in a special assessment proceeding, the alternative
procedure for the proceeding set forth in this Section may be
used. In this alternative procedure, the board of local
improvements shall conduct all of the proceedings and perform all
of the acts otherwise performed by the court. There shall be no
right to jury trial or any reference to the rules of civil
procedure applicable to the court, but the board of local
improvements shall conduct its proceedings with due notice,
fairly and impartially. Determinations of the board of local
improvements shall be treated as the determination of an
administrative agency and shall be subject to appeal under the
same procedures as an appeal of an administrative decision of an
administrative agency under the Administrative Review Law.
