(70 ILCS 2805/45) (from Ch. 42, par. 447.9)
Sec. 45. Recommendation by committee. Accompanying any ordinance for a local improvement presented
by the committee of local improvements to the board shall be a
recommendation of such improvement by the committee signed by at least a
majority of the members thereof, together with an estimate
of the cost of the improvement, including the cost of
engineering services, as originally contemplated or as
changed, altered or modified at the public hearing, itemized
so far as the committee deems necessary and signed by the
board's engineer. The recommendation by the committee shall
be prima facie evidence that all the preliminary
requirements of the law have been complied with. If a
variance is shown on the proceedings in the court, it shall
not affect the validity of the proceeding unless the court
deems the variance willful and substantial.
In the event the improvement is to be constructed with
assistance from any agency of the federal government or
other governmental agency, the estimate of cost shall state
this fact and shall set forth the estimated amount
that is to be provided by the agency of the federal
government or other governmental agency.
The person appointed to make the assessments as
provided hereinafter shall make a true and impartial
assessment upon the petitioning district and the property
benefited by such improvement of that portion of the
estimated cost that is within the benefits exclusive of the
amount to be provided by the agency of the federal
government or other governmental agency.
