 1        AN ACT concerning units of local government.
 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:
 4        Section  1.   The Public Construction Bond Act is amended
 5    by changing Section 3 as follows:
 6        (30 ILCS 550/3)
 7        Sec. 3.  Builder or developer cash bond.
 8        (a)  A county or municipality may not require a cash bond
 9    from a builder or developer  to  guarantee  completion  of  a
10    project  improvement  when the builder or developer has filed
11    with the county or municipal  clerk  a  current,  irrevocable
12    letter of credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment issued
13    by a bank, savings and loan association, surety, or insurance
14    company,  deemed  with  good  and sufficient by the county or
15    municipality  accepting  such  security,  sureties  with  the
16    county or municipal clerk in an amount equal  to  or  greater
17    than   110%  of  the  amount  of  the  bid  on  each  project
18    improvement. A builder or developer may elect to  utilize  an
19    irrevocable  letter  of  credit,  surety  bond,  or letter of
20    commitment, issued by a bank, savings and  loan  association,
21    surety,  or  insurance company, deemed good and sufficient by
22    the  county  or  municipality,  to  satisfy  any  cash   bond
23    requirement established by a county or municipality.
24        (b)  If  a  county  or  municipality receives a cash bond
25    from a builder or developer  to  guarantee  completion  of  a
26    project  improvement,  the  county  or municipality shall (i)
27    register the bond under the address of the  project  and  the
28    construction  permit  number  and  (ii)  give  the builder or
29    developer a receipt for the bond.  The county or municipality
30    shall establish and maintain a separate account for all  cash
31    bonds  received  from  builders  and  developers to guarantee
HB2161 Enrolled            -2-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    completion of a project improvement.
 2        (c)  The county or municipality shall refund a cash  bond
 3    to a builder or developer within 60 days after the builder or
 4    developer  notifies  the county or municipality in writing of
 5    the completion of the project improvement for which the  bond
 6    was required. For these purposes, "completion" means that the
 7    county  or  municipality  has  determined  that  the  project
 8    improvement  for which the bond was required is complete or a
 9    licensed engineer or licensed architect has certified to  the
10    builder  or developer and the county or municipality that the
11    project improvement has  been  completed  to  the  applicable
12    codes  and  ordinances.  The county or municipality shall pay
13    interest to the builder or developer, beginning 60 days after
14    the builder or developer notifies the county or  municipality
15    in  writing  of the completion of the project improvement, on
16    any bond not refunded to a builder or developer, at the  rate
17    of 1% per month.
18        (d)  A  home  rule county or municipality may not require
19    or maintain cash bonds  from  builders  or  developers  in  a
20    manner  inconsistent  with  this  Section.  This Section is a
21    denial and limitation under subsection (i) of  Section  6  of
22    Article  VII  of  the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent
23    exercise by a home rule county or municipality of powers  and
24    functions exercised by the State.

26        Section  2.   The  Counties  Code  is amended by changing
27    Sections 5-1041, 5-1042, and 5-1123 as follows:
28        (55 ILCS 5/5-1041) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1041)
29        Sec. 5-1041. Maps, plats and subdivisions. A county board
30    may prescribe, by resolution or ordinance,  reasonable  rules
31    and  regulations  governing the location, width and course of
32    streets  and  highways  and  of  floodplain,  stormwater  and
HB2161 Enrolled            -3-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    floodwater runoff channels and basins, and the  provision  of
 2    necessary public grounds for schools, public libraries, parks
 3    or playgrounds, in any map, plat or subdivision of any block,
 4    lot  or sub-lot or any part thereof or any piece or parcel of
 5    land, not being within  any  city,  village  or  incorporated
 6    town.   The rules and regulations may include such reasonable
 7    requirements  with  respect  to  water  supply   and   sewage
 8    collection  and  treatment  as  may  be  established  by  the
 9    Environmental   Protection   Agency,   and   such  reasonable
10    requirements  with  respect  to  floodplain  and   stormwater
11    management  as  may  be  established by the County Stormwater
12    Management Committee established under Section 5-1062 of this
13    Code, and such reasonable requirements with respect to street
14    drainage and surfacing as may be established  by  the  county
15    engineer   or   superintendent   of  highways  and  which  by
16    resolution shall be deemed to be the minimum requirements  in
17    the interest of the health, safety, education and convenience
18    of  the  public  of the county; and may provide by resolution
19    that the map, plat or subdivision shall be submitted  to  the
20    county  board  or  to  some  officer  to be designated by the
21    county board for their or  his  approval.  The  county  board
22    shall  have  a  qualified  engineer  make  an estimate of the
23    probable expenditures  necessary  to  enable  any  person  to
24    conform with the standards of construction established by the
25    board pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Each person
26    who  seeks  the  county  board's  approval  of a map, plat or
27    subdivision shall post a good and sufficient  bond  or  other
28    adequate  security  with  the  county  clerk,  in a penal sum
29    sufficient to cover the estimate of expenditures made by  the
30    estimating  engineer.  The  bond  or  other adequate security
31    shall be conditioned upon faithful adherence to the rules and
32    regulations of the county board promulgated pursuant  to  the
33    authorization  granted  to  it  by this Section or by Section
34    5-1062 of this Code, and in such cases no such map,  plat  or
HB2161 Enrolled            -4-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    subdivision  shall be entitled to record in the proper county
 2    or have any validity until it  has  been  so  approved.  This
 3    Section  is  subject  to the provisions of Section 5-1121 (as
 4    added by P.A. 89-518).
 5        The county board may, by resolution, provide  a  schedule
 6    of  fees  sufficient  to  reimburse  the county for the costs
 7    incurred in  reviewing  such  maps,  plats  and  subdivisions
 8    submitted   for  approval  to  the  county  board.  The  fees
 9    authorized by this Section are to be paid  into  the  general
10    corporate  fund  of  the county by the party desiring to have
11    the plat approved.
12        No officer designated by a county board for the  approval
13    of  plats  shall  engage in the business of surveying, and no
14    map, plat or subdivision shall be received for record or have
15    any  validity  which  has  been  prepared  by  or  under  the
16    direction of such plat officer.
17        It is the intention of this amendatory  Act  of  1990  to
18    repeal  the  language  added  to  Section 25.09 of "An Act to
19    revise the law in relation to counties", approved  March  31,
20    1874,  by  P.A.  86-614,  Section 25.09 of that Act being the
21    predecessor of this Section.

25        Sec.  5-1042.  Maps,  plats  and  subdivisions in certain
26    counties. In any county with a population not  in  excess  of
27    500,000  located  in  the  area  served  by  the Northeastern
28    Illinois Metropolitan Planning Commission, a county board may
29    establish by ordinance or  resolution  of  record  reasonable
30    rules  and  regulations  governing  the  location,  width and
31    course of streets and highways, and the provision  of  public
32    grounds  for  schools, parks or playgrounds, in any map, plat
33    or subdivision of any block,  lot  or  sub-lot  or  any  part

18        (55 ILCS 5/5-1123)
19        Sec. 5-1123. 5-1121.  Builder or developer cash bond.
20        (a)  A  county may not require a cash bond from a builder
21    or developer to guarantee completion of a project improvement
22    when the builder or developer has filed with the county clerk
23    a current, irrevocable letter  of  credit,  surety  bond,  or
24    letter  of  commitment,  issued  by  a bank, savings and loan
25    association, surety, or insurance company, deemed  with  good
26    and   sufficient  by  the  county  accepting  such  security,
27    sureties with the county clerk  in  an  amount  equal  to  or
28    greater  than  110%  of the amount of the bid on each project
29    improvement. A builder or developer may elect to  utilize  an
30    irrevocable  letter  of  credit,  surety  bond,  or letter of
31    commitment issued by a bank, savings  and  loan  association,
32    surety,  or  insurance company, deemed good and sufficient by
33    the county, to satisfy any cash bond requirement  established
HB2161 Enrolled            -6-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    by a county.
 2        (b)  If  a  county receives a cash bond from a builder or
 3    developer to guarantee completion of a  project  improvement,
 4    the  county  shall (i) register the bond under the address of
 5    the project and the construction permit number and (ii)  give
 6    the  builder or developer a receipt for the bond.  The county
 7    shall establish and maintain a separate account for all  cash
 8    bonds  received  from  builders  and  developers to guarantee
 9    completion of a project improvement.
10        (c)  The county shall refund a cash bond to a builder  or
11    developer  within  60  days  after  the  builder or developer
12    notifies the county in  writing  of  the  completion  of  the
13    project  improvement  for  which  the  bond was required. For
14    these  purposes,  "completion"  means  that  the  county  has
15    determined that the project improvement for  which  the  bond
16    was  required  is complete or a licensed engineer or licensed
17    architect has certified to the builder or developer  and  the
18    county that the project improvement has been completed to the
19    applicable   codes  and  ordinances.  The  county  shall  pay
20    interest to the builder or developer, beginning 60 days after
21    the builder or developer notifies the county  in  writing  of
22    the  completion  of  the project improvement, on any bond not
23    refunded to a builder or developer, at the  rate  of  1%  per
24    month.
25        (d)  A  home rule county may not require or maintain cash
26    bonds from builders or developers in  a  manner  inconsistent
27    with  this  Section.  This Section is a denial and limitation
28    under subsection (i) of Section  6  of  Article  VII  of  the
29    Illinois  Constitution  on  the concurrent exercise by a home
30    rule county of powers and functions exercised by the State.

32        Section 2.5.  The Illinois Municipal Code is  amended  by
33    changing Sections 11-12-8 and 11-39-3 as follows:
HB2161 Enrolled            -7-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1        (65 ILCS 5/11-12-8) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-12-8)
 2        Sec.  11-12-8.  Compliance of plat with map - Designation
 3    of public lands - Approval - Bond - Order -  Failure  to  act
 4    upon  plat.  The  corporate  authorities  of the municipality
 5    shall determine whether a proposed  plat  of  subdivision  or
 6    resubdivision  complies with the official map. To secure such
 7    determination,  the  person  requesting  the  subdivision  or
 8    resubdivision shall file four copies of a plat  thereof  with
 9    the  clerk  of  the municipality, and shall furnish therewith
10    four copies of all data necessary to show compliance with all
11    applicable municipal regulations and shall  make  application
12    for preliminary or final approval of the proposed plat.
13        Whenever  the  reasonable  requirements  provided  by the
14    ordinance including  the  official  map  shall  indicate  the
15    necessity  for  providing  for  a  school site, park site, or
16    other public lands within any proposed subdivision for  which
17    approval  has  been requested, and no such provision has been
18    made therefor, the municipal authority may require that lands
19    be designated for such public purpose before  approving  such
20    plat.  Whenever a final plat of subdivision, or part thereof,
21    has been approved by the corporate authorities  as  complying
22    with  the  official  map  and  there  is designated therein a
23    school site, park site or other public  land,  the  corporate
24    authorities  having  jurisdiction of such use, be it a school
25    board, park board or other authority,  such  authority  shall
26    acquire  the  land  so  designated  by  purchase  or commence
27    proceedings to acquire such land by condemnation  within  one
28    year  from  the date of approval of such plat; and if it does
29    not do so within  such  period  of  one  year,  the  land  so
30    designated  may  then  be  used  by the owners thereof in any
31    other manner consistent  with  the  ordinance  including  the
32    official map and the zoning ordinance of the municipality.
33        The corporate authorities may by ordinance provide that a
34    plat  of  subdivision  may be submitted initially to the plan
HB2161 Enrolled            -8-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    commission for  preliminary  approval.  The  application  for
 2    preliminary   approval  shall  show  location  and  width  of
 3    proposed streets and public  ways,  shall  indicate  proposed
 4    location  of  sewers and storm drains, proposed dedication of
 5    public grounds, if any, lot  sizes,  proposed  easements  for
 6    public  utilities,  and  proposed  method of sewage and waste
 7    disposal, but need not contain  specifications  for  proposed
 8    improvements.
 9        The  plan  Commission  shall  approve  or  disapprove the
10    application for preliminary approval within 90 days from  the
11    date of the application or the filing by the applicant of the
12    last  item  of  required  supporting  data, whichever date is
13    later, unless such time is extended  by  mutual  consent.  If
14    such  plat  is disapproved, then within said 90 days the plan
15    commission shall furnish to applicant in writing a  statement
16    setting  forth the reason for disapproval and specifying with
17    particularity the aspects in which the proposed plat fails to
18    conform to the ordinances including  official  map.  If  such
19    plat  is  approved  the  corporate  authority shall accept or
20    reject said plat within 30 days after its next regular stated
21    meeting  following  the  action  of  the   plan   commission.
22    Preliminary approval shall not qualify a plat for recording.
23        Application  for  final  approval of a plat shall be made
24    not later than one year after preliminary approval  has  been
25    granted. This application must be supported by such drawings,
26    specifications  and  bond  as may be necessary to demonstrate
27    compliance with all requirements of  this  statute  and  such
28    regulations  as  the  corporate  authorities  may  provide by
29    ordinance under authority of this statute.  This  Section  is
30    subject to the provisions of Section 11-39-3.
31        The  applicant  may  elect  to  have  final approval of a
32    geographic  part  or  parts  of  the   plat   that   received
33    preliminary  approval, and may delay application for approval
34    of other parts until a later date or dates  beyond  one  year
HB2161 Enrolled            -9-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    with the approval of the municipal authorities; provided, all
 2    facilities  required  to  serve  the  part or parts for which
 3    final approval is sought have been  provided.  In  such  case
 4    only  such  part  or parts of the plat as have received final
 5    approval shall be recorded.
 6        When  a  person  submitting  a  plat  of  subdivision  or
 7    resubdivision for final approval has supplied  all  drawings,
 8    maps and other documents required by the municipal ordinances
 9    to  be furnished in support thereof, and if all such material
10    meets all municipal requirements, the  corporate  authorities
11    shall  approve the proposed plat within 60 days from the date
12    of filing the last required document or other paper or within
13    60 days  from  the  date  of  filing  application  for  final
14    approval  of the plat, whichever date is later. The applicant
15    and the corporate authorities may mutually  agree  to  extend
16    the 60 day period.
17        The  corporate  authorities  may provide that any person,
18    firm or corporation seeking  approval  of  a  subdivision  or
19    resubdivision  map  or  plat shall post a good and sufficient
20    bond with the municipal clerk in a penal  sum  sufficient  to
21    cover  the  estimate made by the municipal engineer, or other
22    authorized person, of expenditures, including but not limited
23    to reasonable inspection fees to be borne by  the  applicant,
24    necessary  to  conform  to  the  requirements established and
25    conditioned  upon  completion  of  said  requirements  in   a
26    reasonable time. The corporate authorities may, by ordinance,
27    prescribe  the  form of the bond and may require surety to be
28    approved by  the  corporate  authorities;  provided,  that  a
29    municipality  may  permit  the  depositing  of  cash or other
30    security acceptable to the corporate authorities, to complete
31    the improvements required in lieu of a bond if  it  shall  so
32    provide  by  ordinance; and further provided, that no bond or
33    security shall be required to be filed  until  the  corporate
34    authorities  have approved the plat in all other respects and
HB2161 Enrolled            -10-                LRB9004828PTcw
 1    have  notified  the  applicant  of  such  approval.  If   the
 2    corporate  authorities  require  a cash bond, the requirement
 3    shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11-39-3.
 4        If  the  preliminary  or  final  plat  is  approved,  the
 5    municipal clerk shall attach a certified copy of the order or
 6    resolution of approval to a copy of the plat. If the proposed
 7    plat is disapproved, the order or resolution shall state  the
 8    reasons  for  the  disapproval, specifying with particularity
 9    the aspects in which the proposed plat fails  to  conform  to
10    the  official map. A copy of the order or resolution shall be
11    filed in the office of the municipal clerk.
12        If the corporate authorities fail to act upon  the  final
13    plat  within  the  time  prescribed  the applicant may, after
14    giving 5 days written notice to  the  corporate  authorities,
15    file  a  complaint  for summary judgment in the circuit court
16    and upon showing that the corporate authorities  have  failed
17    to  act  within  the time prescribed the court shall enter an
18    order authorizing the recorder to record the plat as  finally
19    submitted  without the approval of the corporate authorities.
20    A plat so recorded shall have the same force  and  effect  as
21    though   that   plat  had  been  approved  by  the  corporate
22    authorities. If the corporate authorities refuse to act  upon
23    the  final  plat  within  the  time  prescribed  and if their
24    failure to act thereon is wilful, upon such showing and  upon
25    proof of damages the municipality shall be liable therefor.

29        (a)  A  municipality  may  not require a cash bond from a
30    builder or developer to guarantee  completion  of  a  project
31    improvement  when the builder or developer has filed with the
32    municipal clerk a  current,  irrevocable  letter  of  credit,
33    surety  bond,  or  letter  of  commitment  issued  by a bank,
HB2161 Enrolled            -11-                LRB9004828PTcw
 1    savings and loan association, surety, or  insurance  company,
 2    deemed  with  good  and  sufficient  by the sureties with the
 3    clerk of the municipality  accepting  such  security,  in  an
 4    amount equal to or greater than 110% of the amount of the bid
 5    on each project improvement. A builder or developer may elect
 6    to  utilize  an irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, or
 7    letter of commitment, issued by  a  bank,  savings  and  loan
 8    association,  surety,  or  insurance company, deemed good and
 9    sufficient by the municipality,  to  satisfy  any  cash  bond
10    requirement established by a municipality.
11        (b)  If  a  municipality  receives  a  cash  bond  from a
12    builder or developer to guarantee  completion  of  a  project
13    improvement,  the  municipality  shall  (i) register the bond
14    under the address of the project and the construction  permit
15    number  and  (ii) give the builder or developer a receipt for
16    the bond.  The municipality shall establish  and  maintain  a
17    separate  account  for  all cash bonds received from builders
18    and  developers  to  guarantee  completion   of   a   project
19    improvement.
20        (c)  The  municipality  shall  refund  a  cash  bond to a
21    builder or developer within 60  days  after  the  builder  or
22    developer   notifies  the  municipality  in  writing  of  the
23    completion of the project improvement for which the bond  was
24    required.  For  these  purposes,  "completion" means that the
25    municipality has determined that the project improvement  for
26    which  the  bond  was  required  is  complete  or  a licensed
27    engineer or licensed architect has certified to  the  builder
28    or   developer   and   the   municipality  that  the  project
29    improvement has been completed to the  applicable  codes  and
30    ordinances.  The  municipality  shall  pay  interest  to  the
31    builder  or  developer,  beginning  60  days after builder or
32    developer  notifies  the  municipality  in  writing  of   the
33    completion  of  the  project  improvement,  on  any  bond not
34    refunded to a builder or developer, at the  rate  of  1%  per
HB2161 Enrolled            -12-                LRB9004828PTcw

 2        (d)  A home rule municipality may not require or maintain
 3    cash   bonds   from   builders  or  developers  in  a  manner
 4    inconsistent with this Section.  This Section is a denial and
 5    limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of  Article  VII
 6    of  the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by a
 7    home rule municipality of powers and functions  exercised  by
 8    the State.

10        Section  3.  The Sanitary District Act of 1917 is amended
11    by changing Section 8 as follows:
12        (70 ILCS 2405/8) (from Ch. 42, par. 307)
13        Sec. 8.  The sanitary district may acquire  by  purchase,
14    condemnation,  or  otherwise  all real and personal property,
15    right of way and privilege,  either  within  or  without  its
16    corporate  limits  that  may  be  required  for its corporate
17    purposes. If real property is acquired by  condemnation,  the
18    sanitary  district  may  not sell or lease any portion of the
19    property.  If any district formed under this Act is unable to
20    agree with any other sanitary district upon the terms whereby
21    it shall be permitted to use the drains, channels or  ditches
22    of such other sanitary district, the right to such use may be
23    acquired  by condemnation in any circuit court by proceedings
24    as provided in Section 4-17 of the  Illinois  Drainage  Code.
25    The  compensation to be paid for such use may be a gross sum,
26    or it may be in the form of an annual rental, to be  paid  in
27    yearly  installments as provided by the judgment of the court
28    wherein such proceedings  may  be  had.  However,  when  such
29    compensation  is  fixed  at  a  gross  sum all moneys for the
30    purchase and condemnation  of  any  property  shall  be  paid
31    before  possession  is taken or any work done on the premises
32    damaged by the construction of such channel or outlet, and in
HB2161 Enrolled            -13-                LRB9004828PTcw
 1    case of an appeal from the  circuit  court  taken  by  either
 2    party   whereby   the   amount  of  damages  is  not  finally
 3    determined, then possession may be taken, if  the  amount  of
 4    judgment  in  such court is deposited at some bank or savings
 5    and loan association to be designated by the  court,  subject
 6    to  the  payment  of  such  damages  on  orders signed by the
 7    circuit court, whenever the  amount  of  damages  is  finally
 8    determined.  The  sanitary  district may sell, convey, vacate
 9    and release the real or personal property, right of  way  and
10    privileges  acquired  by  it  when no longer required for the
11    purposes of the district.

13        Section 5.  The Sanitary District Act of 1936 is  amended
14    by  adding  Sections  8.1 and 8.2 and by changing Sections 10
15    and 32a.3 as follows:
16        (70 ILCS 2805/8.1 new)
17        Sec.   8.1.  Private   funding    of    public    sewers;
18    reimbursement;  contract.   If  one  or  more persons pay for
19    building a sewer to be dedicated to the sanitary district  as
20    a  public sewer, and if the sewer will, in the opinion of the
21    board of trustees, be used for the benefit of property  whose
22    owners  did  not  contribute  to  the  cost  of  the  sewer's
23    construction,   the   board   of  trustees  may  provide  for
24    reimbursement of some or all of the expenses of  the  persons
25    who  paid  for  the  sewer  as provided in this Section.  The
26    board of trustees may, by contract, agree  to  reimburse  the
27    persons  who  paid  for the sewer, in whole or in part, for a
28    portion of their costs.  The reimbursement shall be made from
29    fees collected from owners of property who did not contribute
30    to the cost of the sewer when it  was  built.   The  contract
31    shall describe the property that, in the opinion of the board
32    of  trustees,  may  reasonably be expected to use and benefit
HB2161 Enrolled            -14-                LRB9004828PTcw
 1    from the sewer and shall specify the amount of proportion  of
 2    the  cost  of  the sewer that is to be incurred primarily for
 3    the benefit of that property.   The  contract  shall  provide
 4    that  the sanitary district shall collect the fees charged to
 5    owners of property not contributing to the cost of the  sewer
 6    as  a  condition to the connection to and use of the sewer by
 7    the respective properties of each owner.   The  contract  may
 8    provide for the payment of a reasonable amount of interest or
 9    other  charge on the amount expended in completing the sewer,
10    with interest to be calculated from and  after  the  date  of
11    completion  of  the  sewer.  Nothing in this Section shall be
12    construed to require an owner  of  property  described  in  a
13    contract  to  connect  such property to the sewer or to pay a
14    fee if such property is not connected to the sewer.
15        (70 ILCS 2805/8.2 new)
16        Sec. 8.2.  Filing of contract.  A contract  entered  into
17    under  Section  8.1 between the board of trustees and persons
18    building a sewer to be dedicated to the sanitary district  as
19    a  public  sewer  shall  be  filed  with the recorder of each
20    county in which all or a part of the property affected by the
21    contract is located.  The recording of the contract  in  this
22    manner  shall  serve  to  notify  persons  interested in that
23    property of the fact that there will be a charge in  relation
24    to  that  property  for  the  connection  to  and  use of the
25    facilities constructed under the contract.  Failure to record
26    the contract does not affect the validity of the contract.
27        (70 ILCS 2805/10) (from Ch. 42, par. 421)
28        Sec. 10. The sanitary district may acquire  by  purchase,
29    condemnation,  or  otherwise  all real and personal property,
30    right of way and privilege,  either  within  or  without  its
31    corporate  limits  that  may  be  required  for its corporate
32    purposes. If real property is acquired by  condemnation,  the
HB2161 Enrolled            -15-                LRB9004828PTcw
 1    sanitary  district  may  not sell or lease any portion of the
 2    property.  If any sanitary district formed under this Act  is
 3    unable  to  agree  with  any  other  sanitary district, city,
 4    village or incorporated town upon the terms whereby it  shall
 5    be  permitted  to use the drains, channels or ditches of such
 6    other sanitary district, city, village or incorporated  town,
 7    the  right to such use may be acquired by condemnation in any
 8    circuit court by proceedings as provided in Section  4-17  of
 9    the  Illinois  Drainage Code. The compensation to be paid for
10    such use may be a gross sum, or it may be in the form  of  an
11    annual  rental,  to  be paid in yearly installments as and in
12    the manner provided by the judgment of the court wherein such
13    proceedings may be had. However, when  such  compensation  is
14    fixed  at  a  gross  sum,  all  moneys  for  the purchase and
15    condemnation of any property shall be paid before  possession
16    is  taken  or  any  work  done on the premises damaged by the
17    construction of such channel or outlet, and  in  case  of  an
18    appeal  from  the circuit court taken by either party whereby
19    the  amount  of  damages  is  not  finally  determined,  then
20    possession may be taken, if the amount  of  the  judgment  in
21    such  court  is  deposited  at  some bank or savings and loan
22    association to be designated by the  court,  subject  to  the
23    payment  of  such  damages  on  orders signed by such circuit
24    court, whenever the amount of damages is finally  determined.
25    The  sanitary  district  may sell, convey, vacate and release
26    the real or personal property, right of  way  and  privileges
27    acquired  by  it  when no longer required for the purposes of
28    such district.

31        Sec.   32a.3.   Unincorporated   territory    annexation.
32    Whenever any unincorporated territory, containing 60 acres or
33    less,  is  wholly  bounded by any sanitary district organized
HB2161 Enrolled            -16-                LRB9004828PTcw
 1    under this  Act,  that  territory  may  be  annexed  by  that
 2    sanitary  district  by  the  passage  of an ordinance to that
 3    effect by the board of trustees  of  the  sanitary  district,
 4    describing  the territory to be annexed. Prior to the passage
 5    of such ordinance, the record owners of  all  parcels  to  be
 6    annexed  shall  be notified of the planned annexation.  After
 7    the passage of such ordinance of annexation a  copy  of  such
 8    ordinance,  with  an  accurate  map of the territory annexed,
 9    certified as correct by the clerk of the board  of  trustees,
10    shall  be  filed with the County Clerk of the County in which
11    the annexed territory is situated.
