Sec. 5-32004.
Origination of local improvements.
The Committee may
originate a local improvement as defined in this Division anywhere in the
county outside of a municipality, as defined in Section 1-1-2 of the
"Illinois Municipal Code", as amended, such improvement to be paid for by
special assessment, either with or without a petition, by the adoption of a
resolution describing the local improvement abutting or within the platted
subdivision to be so improved. This resolution shall be at once transcribed
into the records of the Committee and shall be presented to the members of
the county board at any regularly scheduled meeting accompanied by a
recommendation from the Committee for the adoption of a resolution by the
county board describing the public way to be so improved.
A resolution adopted without a petition shall be revoked by the county
board without further action on the improvement sought if the owners of
record of more than one-half of the property abutting on or within any
platted subdivision located outside the boundaries of a municipality
object, by petition, by individual objections in writing, or by a
combination of petitions and individual objections. Objections and
petitions against an improvement shall be filed within 30 days of
notification to the owners of record of the assessment.
Proceedings to make a local improvement also may be instituted whenever
the owners of record of one-half the property abutting on or within any
platted subdivision located outside the boundaries of a municipality,
petitions the Committee of the county for a local improvement thereon. The
Committee shall present such petition to the members of the county board at
a regularly scheduled meeting, and recommend the adoption of a resolution
by the board describing the public way to be so improved. If the
resolution is so adopted by the county board, the Committee of local
improvements shall proceed with all of the necessary steps for the
improvement.
