Sec. 7-1-24.
On petition in writing, signed by one-half of the electors and
one-half of the owners of record of land in any territory, not exceeding in
area 160 acres, situated within any municipality, which territory is
contiguous to another municipality, the corporate authorities of the
municipality within which the territory is situated, may consent, by
ordinance, that this territory be disconnected from such municipality and
annexed to the other municipality to which the territory is contiguous. The
ordinance must be passed by a majority vote of the corporate authorities of
the disconnecting municipality. Thereupon the corporate authorities of the
annexing municipality, by ordinance passed by a majority vote, may annex
the territory. The territory, however, shall not be disconnected from the
municipality of which it is a part until it is annexed to the municipality
to which it is contiguous.
The clerk of the annexing municipality, within 90 days after the passage
of the annexing ordinance, shall file for recordation a certified copy of
the ordinance, with an accurate map of the territory annexed, with the
recorder of the county in which the annexed territory is situated.
