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.

    (65 ILCS 5/11-85-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-85-2)
    Sec. 11-85-2. The corporate authorities of such municipality and the commissioner of highways in and for such township, in the manner they agree upon, shall procure (1) detailed plans and specifications of the proposed improvement, (2) a detailed estimate of the cost thereof prepared by a competent engineer, showing the total estimated cost of the improvement, and (3) separate estimates from that engineer of the portions thereof within and without the municipality. As soon as the corporate authorities both of the municipality and of the township approve the plans, specifications, and estimates as a basis for the letting of a contract for the improvement, and as soon as the proportions of the cost thereof are agreed upon by the corporate authorities of the municipality and township, they may proceed jointly to let a contract therefor as provided in this section.
    This contract shall be let only upon competitive bidding, in the manner provided for the letting of contracts by municipalities for the constructing of local improvements under the provisions of Article 9, except that (1) the advertising for bids for the construction of the proposed improvement shall be authorized and made by the corporate authorities of both the municipality and the township, (2) bids for the construction shall be received by those corporate authorities jointly at the time and place agreed upon and stated in the notice for bids, and (3) no contract shall be let except by the approval of the corporate authorities of both the municipality and the township. All contracts shall be signed and executed by the officials of the municipality and of the township who may be vested generally, by law or ordinance, with the duty of the execution of contracts, for and in behalf of the respective bodies, and all bonds for the performance of a contract shall be made payable to those corporate bodies jointly.
    All consents, agreements, and approvals provided for in this Division 85 shall be by writing and when hereby required to be made or given by a municipality, shall be made or given by a resolution of the corporate authorities of the municipality.

65 ILCS 5/11-85-3

    (65 ILCS 5/11-85-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-85-3)
    Sec. 11-85-3. If a municipality desires to pay its proportion of the cost of such an improvement by a special assessment or a special tax upon the property within the municipality benefited by the improvement, either before or after the letting of the contract as provided by Section 11-85-2, it may pass an ordinance providing for the improvement and that the cost thereof shall be paid by a special tax or a special assessment, to be levied upon the municipality and upon the property within the municipality specially benefited by the improvement. The proceedings thereafter for the levy of that special assessment or special tax, and the collection thereof, shall conform to the provisions of Article 9, in so far as the provisions of Article 9 are applicable. It shall be no defense in any proceedings to levy a special assessment or a special tax hereunder that the special assessment or special tax is levied for work previously performed.

65 ILCS 5/11-85-4

    (65 ILCS 5/11-85-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-85-4)
    Sec. 11-85-4. A municipality participating in the construction of an improvement specified in this Division 85 has jurisdiction over the part thereof lying within the corporate limits of the municipality. The participating township has jurisdiction over that part of the improvement lying outside the municipality and within the township. The municipality and the township may repair, maintain, or reconstruct the portions of the improvement within their respective jurisdictions in the manner provided by law in cases of similar improvements lying wholly within their respective jurisdictions. But nothing contained in this section affects any power otherwise given by law to either the municipality or the township to expend money in the repair, maintenance, or reconstruction of the entire improvement or any part thereof.
    Although parts of the improvements are under separate jurisdictions, the municipality and the township interested may enter into contracts with each other providing for the repair, maintenance, and upkeep, including lighting, of the improvement, apportioning the cost thereof and providing the method of that repair, maintenance, and upkeep, as may be agreed upon between them.
    A township may surrender its jurisdiction over such an improvement to the municipality jointly interested, by agreement made between the corporate authorities of both the municipality and the township. The municipality thus assuming that jurisdiction thereafter shall be chargeable with the repair, maintenance, and upkeep of the part of the improvement so turned over, and may exercise its police powers thereover in like manner as if the improvement lay entirely within the municipality.
