Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 11-45-10.
Such commissioners shall, at the beginning of their term of
office and annually thereafter, meet and organize. The commissioner having
one year to serve shall act as chairman; the commissioner having 2 years to
serve shall be vice-chairman and shall act in the absence of the chairman.
The commissioners shall appoint one of their number secretary. The
commissioners may make and adopt such by-laws, rules and regulations for
their own guidance and for the carrying out of their duties, as may be
expedient not inconsistent with the provision of this Division 45. They
shall have the exclusive control of the expenditure of all money collected
for the maintenance or employment of a municipal band for musical purposes
and/or for the maintenance and conduct of programs in the performing arts,
and for the construction, purchase or lease and maintenance of a band-shell
or similar structure, referred to hereinafter, for the presentation of
concerts or such programs as may be presented by them. All money received
for such municipal band and/or performing arts shall be deposited in the
treasury of such specified municipality to the credit of the municipal band
and/or performing arts fund and shall be kept separate and apart from other
moneys of such municipality. Such fund may be drawn upon by the properly
authenticated vouchers of the commission. The commissioners shall each
year, prior to the enactment of the annual appropriation ordinance, submit
to the city council a certificate indicating the estimated expenses for the
maintenance or employment of a municipal band for musical purposes and/or
for the maintenance and conduct of programs in the performing arts. The
city council shall levy a tax for such amount, provided the amount shall
not exceed the limitation fixed in the referendum which adopted the
provisions of this Division 45.

65 ILCS 5/11-45-11
(65 ILCS 5/11-45-11) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-45-11)
Sec. 11-45-11.
Whenever the commissioners appointed and acting under the
provisions of this Division 45 determine to erect a band-shell or similar
structure for the presentation of concerts or programs in the performing
arts as may be presented by them, or to purchase a site for same, or to
repair, remodel or improve an existing structure, or to build an addition
thereto, or to furnish necessary equipment therefor, or to do any or all of
these things, or to purchase a building and site, and necessary equipment
for the building, or to provide or accumulate a fund for the erection of a
new building or structure, the purchase of such building of an addition
thereto, or to pay for a site for the building or structure, or to purchase
necessary equipment for such, or to do any or all of these things, the
commissioners have the following power:
In case a new band-shell or a structure for the performing arts is to be
erected, or an existing structure is to be remodeled, repaired, improved,
or an addition thereto erected, or the grounds adjacent thereto are to be
prepared for seating, lighting, sound and general improvements or necessary
equipment therefor purchased, or any or all of such things are to be done,
the commissioners shall cause a plan for such band-shell or structure, or
for the remodeling, repairing or improving of such band-shell or structure,
and the grounds adjacent thereto, or the purchase of necessary equipment
therefor to be prepared, and an estimate made of the cost. If a site is to
be provided for the same, they shall also cause an estimate to be made of
the cost of such site. If necessary equipment is to be provided, the
commissioners shall cause an estimate to be made of the cost of such
equipment. They may then determine the term of years over which they shall
spread the collection of the cost of such band-shell or structure, or the
remodeling, repairing or improving of an existing structure, or the
erection of an addition thereto, or site, or equipment or any or all of
these things, not exceeding 20 years, and shall make a record of their
proceedings. The commissioners shall transmit a copy of the record of their
proceedings to the city council for its approval. If the city council
approves the action of the band commission or the band and performing arts
commission or the recreation board if designated, it may, by ordinance,
provide that the bonds of the city be issued for the payment of the cost,
so estimated as aforesaid, of the structure, or other repairs or equipment
herein referred to, in which event the ordinance shall also state the time
or times when such bonds, and the interest thereon shall become payable.
The whole of the principal of such bonds and the interest thereon, shall be
payable within 20 years and interest on such bonds shall not exceed the
maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the
time of the making of the contract. Such interest may be made payable at such
times as the ordinance may prescribe. However, the total tax which may be
levied hereunder for municipal band and/or performing arts purposes, including
the retirement of the bonds herein, shall not exceed the total which may be
authorized by the referendum providing for the levy of a tax as set out in
Section 11-45-2. If the city council adopts such an ordinance, the band
commission or the band and performing arts commission or the recreation
board if designated, shall set aside from the fund each year, a sum
sufficient to pay the principal and interest on such bonds. In addition,
however, any surplus remaining in the fund at the end of any year after
paying the principal and interest on such bonds, and after paying other
expenses for maintaining and employing a municipal band and/or for the
maintenance and conduct of programs in the performing arts, may be applied
to the retirement of such bonds. If, however, the city council shall not
provide that bonds of the city be issued as and for the purposes aforesaid,
but shall otherwise approve the action of the commission, then the
commission shall divide the total cost of the building, improvements or
equipment as they shall determine, to spread the collection thereof, and
shall certify the amount to the city council each year during the term over
which the commissioners shall have determined to spread the collection of
the cost of such building, improvements or equipment, or any or all of
these things.
The commission may receive any gifts tendered to be applied on the cost
of such building, improvements or equipment.
The city council on receiving the last mentioned certificate shall, in
its next annual appropriation ordinance, include the amount so certified
and shall, for the amount levy and collect a tax to pay the same. The total
amount thus levied, including costs of such building, remodeling or
equipment, shall not exceed the total which may be authorized by the
referendum provided for in Section 11-45-2. However, any surplus remaining
in the fund at the end of any year after setting aside funds for such
purposes and after paying other expenses for maintaining and employing a
municipal band and/or for the maintenance and conduct of programs in the
performing arts, may be applied to the fund being accumulated for such
building, improvements or equipment.
Such commissioners shall have authority to enter into contracts to carry
out the purposes of this Division 45 and to take title to any property
acquired by it for municipal band purposes and/or for the maintenance and
conduct of programs in the performing arts by the name of "The Municipal
Band Commission of the City/Village of ...., Illinois" or "The Municipal
Band and Performing Arts Commission of the City/Village of ...., Illinois"
or if designated according to Section 45-7, "The Recreation Board of the
City/Village of ...., Illinois".
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General Assembly
(i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been supplementary
grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the Omnibus Bond
Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to
have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of
this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted by
the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this Section
within the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not
invalid because of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to
have been more restrictive than those Acts.

The commissioners shall determine when they will proceed
with the purchase of a building or site, or with the erection of a
band-shell or similar structure, or with the remodeling, repairing and
equipment, or any other proceeding permitted hereunder. They may proceed at
once or determine to wait and allow the fund to accumulate. If the

investment of public funds, thereto remain until the same is needed for
