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. 11-67-9.

Every municipality owning and operating such a
municipal coliseum shall keep books of account for the coliseum separate
and distinct from other municipal accounts and in such manner as to show
the true and complete financial standing and results of the municipal
ownership and operation. These accounts shall be so kept as to show: (1)
the actual cost to the municipality of maintenance, extension, and
improvement, (2) all operating expenses of every description, (3) if
water or other service is furnished for the use of the municipal
coliseum without charge, as nearly as possible, the value of that
service, and also the value of any use or service rendered by the
municipal coliseum to the municipality without charge, (4) reasonable
allowances for interest, depreciation, and insurance, and (5) estimates
of the amount of taxes that would be chargeable against that property if
owned by a private corporation. The corporate authorities shall have
printed annually for public distribution, a report showing the
financial results, in the form specified in this section, of the
municipal ownership and operation.

The accounts of the municipal coliseum shall be examined at least
once a year by a licensed Certified Public Accountant permitted to perform audits under the Illinois Public Accounting Act, who shall report to the corporate
authorities the results of his examination. This accountant shall be
selected as the corporate authorities may direct, and he shall receive
for his services such compensation, to be paid out of the revenue from
the municipal coliseum, as the corporate authorities may prescribe.
