65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

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 5/11-76.1-1

(65 ILCS 5/11-76.1-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-76.1-1)

Sec. 11-76.1-1.

The corporate authorities of each municipality having a
population of less than 500,000 inhabitants have the power by ordinance
adopted by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the elected corporate
authorities then holding office:

(i) To purchase or lease real or personal property for public purposes
pursuant to contracts or leases which provide for the consideration for
such purchase or lease to be paid in annual installments during a period
not exceeding 20 years;

(ii) To lease as lessee and to purchase real property or personal
property for public purposes pursuant to a lease or purchase agreement
which lease or purchase agreement may provide that the municipality may, at
its option, purchase the property which is subject to the agreement or
lease upon terms wherein payments previously made, or a portion of them,
are deducted from the purchase price of the property as provided for in
such lease or agreement.

A municipality, having adopted and filed with the municipal clerk such
installment or lease agreement, executed by officers of the municipality,
may issue debt certificates to any person either in lieu of or in evidence
of the amounts payable under such lease or installment agreement.  Such
certificates may contain such terms as are provided for the issuance of
bonds generally under Section 10 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act, as
now or hereafter amended, except to the extent such terms expressly
conflict with limitations set forth in this Division.  Cash proceeds
received upon issuance of such certificates shall be duly applied to the
acquisition and construction and payment for the real or personal property
which is the subject of such installment or lease agreement.
