(65 ILCS 5/11-83-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-83-1)
Sec. 11-83-1.
In addition to all other means or methods authorized by law
for the repair, maintenance, resurfacing, or reconstruction of street
pavements, any municipality, by ordinance, may provide for the resurfacing
of streets paved by macadam, brick, granite, blocks, asphalt, cement, or
other type of pavement, when that pavement becomes disintegrated at the
surface or by reason of wear, usage, or lapse of time becomes otherwise
inadequate, defective, or imperfect. The municipality, by that ordinance,
may provide for the payment of the whole or any part of the cost of the
resurfacing of those streets (1) by special taxation of the lots or parcels
of land fronting upon those streets, or (2) by special assessment upon the
property benefited by the improvement of those streets through the
resurfacing, or (3) by apportioning the cost of the resurfacing so that
part of the cost will be paid by special assessment upon the property
benefited and part of it by appropriation from the fund accumulated through
the vehicle tax levied in accordance with the statute for purposes of
street and alley improvement or repair.
