(70 ILCS 1205/3-11) (from Ch. 105, par. 3-11)
Sec. 3-11.
Any 2 or more contiguous park districts may be consolidated and
become a single park district in the manner following: The park commissioners
of each of the park districts desiring to consolidate shall adopt an ordinance
by a vote of not less than 2/3 of the commissioners of each district, which
ordinance shall duly set forth the intent of the park districts to
consolidate with the contiguous park district or districts as therein set
forth, shall designate the park district which shall be the survivor of the
consolidation, and shall designate the names of the commissioners thereof,
which commissioners shall, at the time of the consolidation be duly elected
and acting commissioners of the districts concerned in the consolidation. A
certified copy of said ordinances shall be filed in the office of the clerk
of the county, or counties, within which any part of the consolidated park
district shall be located.
Upon the adoption of the ordinances by the park districts concerned the
park district designated in the ordinances as the survivor of the
consolidation shall assume the functions previously performed by the park
districts and the surviving park district shall have the power and
authority to levy and collect such taxes at such rates as shall have been
previously authorized, levied and collected by the designated survivor
district.
All parks and other property owned by the districts adopting such
ordinances shall thereupon be vested in the newly consolidated park
district and the newly consolidated park district shall succeed to all of
the outstanding rights and obligations of the districts concerned.
