Sec. 3-6.
Any territory, within any park district, which (1) is upon the
border of the park district, and (2) if disconnected from the park district
would not separate any part of the park district from any other part, may
be disconnected from the park district, in the discretion of its corporate
authorities as follows:
A written petition, signed by the majority of the owners of record of
land and the owners of record of more than one-half of the area of land in
the territory described in the petition, shall be filed with the secretary
of the governing board of the park district, requesting that the specified
territory be disconnected from the park district. The petition shall be
filed at least 30 days before it is considered by the corporate
authorities. The petition shall be accompanied with the certificate of the
proper county clerk, or county clerks as the case may be, showing that all
park district assessments due up to the time of presenting the petition are
fully paid. The corporate authorities may, in their discretion, disconnect
the territory from the park district by an ordinance passed by a majority
of the members of the governing board.
