Whenever a final plat of subdivision, or part thereof, 20 has been approved by the corporate authorities as complying 21 with the official map and there is designated therein a 22 school site, park site or other public land, the corporate 23 authorities having jurisdiction of such use, be it a school 24 board, park board or other authority, such authority shall 25 acquire the land so designated by purchase or commence 26 proceedings to acquire such land by condemnation within one 27 year from the date of approval of such plat; and if it does 28 not do so within such period of one year, the land so 29 designated may then be used by the owners thereof in any 30 other manner consistent with the ordinance including the 31 official map and the zoning ordinance of the municipality. 32 The corporate authorities may by ordinance provide that a 33 plat of subdivision may be submitted initially to the plan 34 commission for preliminary approval.

The applicant 14 and the corporate authorities may mutually agree to extend 15 the 60 day period. 16 The corporate authorities may provide that any person, 17 firm or corporation seeking approval of a subdivision or 18 resubdivision map or plat shall post a good and sufficient 19 bond with the municipal clerk in a penal sum sufficient to 20 cover the estimate made by the municipal engineer, or other 21 authorized person, of expenditures, including but not limited 22 to reasonable inspection fees to be borne by the applicant, 23 necessary to conform to the requirements established and 24 conditioned upon completion of said requirements in a 25 reasonable time. The corporate authorities may, by ordinance, 26 prescribe the form of the bond and may require surety to be 27 approved by the corporate authorities; provided, that a 28 municipality may permit the depositing of cash or other 29 security acceptable to the corporate authorities, to complete 30 the improvements required in lieu of a bond if it shall so 31 provide by ordinance; and further provided, that no bond or 32 security shall be required to be filed until the corporate 33 authorities have approved the plat in all other respects and 34 have notified the applicant of such approval. If the HB2161 Re-Enrolled -10- LRB9004828PTcw 1 corporate authorities require a cash bond, the requirement 2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11-39-3. 3 If the preliminary or final plat is approved, the 4 municipal clerk shall attach a certified copy of the order or 5 resolution of approval to a copy of the plat.

A copy of the order or resolution shall be 10 filed in the office of the municipal clerk. 11 If the corporate authorities fail to act upon the final 12 plat within the time prescribed the applicant may, after 13 giving 5 days written notice to the corporate authorities, 14 file a complaint for summary judgment in the circuit court 15 and upon showing that the corporate authorities have failed 16 to act within the time prescribed the court shall enter an 17 order authorizing the recorder to record the plat as finally 18 submitted without the approval of the corporate authorities. 19 A plat so recorded shall have the same force and effect as 20 though that plat had been approved by the corporate 21 authorities. If the corporate authorities refuse to act upon 22 the final plat within the time prescribed and if their 23 failure to act thereon is wilful, upon such showing and upon 24 proof of damages the municipality shall be liable therefor. 25 (Source: P.A. 83-358.) 26 (65 ILCS 5/11-39-3) 27 Sec. 11-39-3.

The Sanitary District Act of 1917 is amended 10 by changing Section 8 as follows: 11 (70 ILCS 2405/8) (from Ch. 42, par. 307) 12 Sec. 8. The sanitary district may acquire by purchase, 13 condemnation, or otherwise all real and personal property, 14 right of way and privilege, either within or without its 15 corporate limits that may be required for its corporate 16 purposes. If real property is acquired by condemnation, the 17 sanitary district may not sell or lease any portion of the 18 property for a period of 10 years after acquisition by 19 condemnation is completed. If, after such 10-year period, 20 the sanitary district decides to sell or lease the property, 21 it must first offer the property for sale or lease to the 22 previous owner of the land from whom the sanitary district 23 acquired the property. If the sanitary district and such 24 previous owner do not execute a contract for purchase or 25 lease of the property within 60 days from the initial offer, 26 the sanitary district then may offer the property for sale or 27 lease to any other person. If any district formed under this 28 Act is unable to agree with any other sanitary district upon 29 the terms whereby it shall be permitted to use the drains, 30 channels or ditches of such other sanitary district, the 31 right to such use may be acquired by condemnation in any 32 circuit court by proceedings as provided in Section 4-17 of HB2161 Re-Enrolled -13- LRB9004828PTcw 1 the Illinois Drainage Code. The compensation to be paid for 2 such use may be a gross sum, or it may be in the form of an 3 annual rental, to be paid in yearly installments as provided 4 by the judgment of the court wherein such proceedings may be 5 had. However, when such compensation is fixed at a gross sum 6 all moneys for the purchase and condemnation of any property 7 shall be paid before possession is taken or any work done on 8 the premises damaged by the construction of such channel or 9 outlet, and in case of an appeal from the circuit court taken 10 by either party whereby the amount of damages is not finally 11 determined, then possession may be taken, if the amount of 12 judgment in such court is deposited at some bank or savings 13 and loan association to be designated by the court, subject 14 to the payment of such damages on orders signed by the 15 circuit court, whenever the amount of damages is finally 16 determined. The sanitary district may sell, convey, vacate 17 and release the real or personal property, right of way and 18 privileges acquired by it when no longer required for the 19 purposes of the district. 20 (Source: P.A. 84-452; 84-545.) 21 Section 5. The Sanitary District Act of 1936 is amended 22 by adding Sections 8.1 and 8.2 and by changing Sections 10 23 and 32a.3 as follows: 24 (70 ILCS 2805/8.1 new) 25 Sec. 8.1. Private funding of public sewers; 26 reimbursement; contract. If one or more persons pay for 27 building a sewer to be dedicated to the sanitary district as 28 a public sewer, and if the sewer will, in the opinion of the 29 board of trustees, be used for the benefit of property whose 30 owners did not contribute to the cost of the sewer's 31 construction, the board of trustees may provide for 32 reimbursement of some or all of the expenses of the persons HB2161 Re-Enrolled -14- LRB9004828PTcw 1 who paid for the sewer as provided in this Section. The 2 board of trustees may, by contract, agree to reimburse the 3 persons who paid for the sewer, in whole or in part, for a 4 portion of their costs. The reimbursement shall be made from 5 fees collected from owners of property who did not contribute 6 to the cost of the sewer when it was built. The contract 7 shall describe the property that, in the opinion of the board 8 of trustees, may reasonably be expected to use and benefit 9 from the sewer and shall specify the amount of proportion of 10 the cost of the sewer that is to be incurred primarily for 11 the benefit of that property. The contract shall provide 12 that the sanitary district shall collect the fees charged to 13 owners of property not contributing to the cost of the sewer 14 as a condition to the connection to and use of the sewer by 15 the respective properties of each owner. The contract may 16 provide for the payment of a reasonable amount of interest or 17 other charge on the amount expended in completing the sewer, 18 with interest to be calculated from and after the date of 19 completion of the sewer. Nothing in this Section shall be 20 construed to require an owner of property described in a 21 contract to connect such property to the sewer or to pay a 22 fee if such property is not connected to the sewer. 23 (70 ILCS 2805/8.2 new) 24 Sec. 8.2. Filing of contract. A contract entered into 25 under Section 8.1 between the board of trustees and persons 26 building a sewer to be dedicated to the sanitary district as 27 a public sewer shall be filed with the recorder of each 28 county in which all or a part of the property affected by the 29 contract is located. The recording of the contract in this 30 manner shall serve to notify persons interested in that 31 property of the fact that there will be a charge in relation 32 to that property for the connection to and use of the 33 facilities constructed under the contract. Failure to record HB2161 Re-Enrolled -15- LRB9004828PTcw 1 the contract does not affect the validity of the contract. 2 (70 ILCS 2805/10) (from Ch. 42, par. 421) 3 Sec. 10. The sanitary district may acquire by purchase, 4 condemnation, or otherwise all real and personal property, 5 right of way and privilege, either within or without its 6 corporate limits that may be required for its corporate 7 purposes. If real property is acquired by condemnation, the 8 sanitary district may not sell or lease any portion of the 9 property for a period of 10 years after acquisition by 10 condemnation is completed. If, after such 10-year period, 11 the sanitary district decides to sell or lease the property, 12 it must first offer the property for sale or lease to the 13 previous owner of the land from whom the sanitary district 14 acquired the property. If the sanitary district and such 15 previous owner do not execute a contract for purchase or 16 lease of the property within 60 days from the initial offer, 17 the sanitary district then may offer the property for sale or 18 lease to any other person. If any sanitary district formed 19 under this Act is unable to agree with any other sanitary 20 district, city, village or incorporated town upon the terms 21 whereby it shall be permitted to use the drains, channels or 22 ditches of such other sanitary district, city, village or 23 incorporated town, the right to such use may be acquired by 24 condemnation in any circuit court by proceedings as provided 25 in Section 4-17 of the Illinois Drainage Code. The 26 compensation to be paid for such use may be a gross sum, or 27 it may be in the form of an annual rental, to be paid in 28 yearly installments as and in the manner provided by the 29 judgment of the court wherein such proceedings may be had. 30 However, when such compensation is fixed at a gross sum, all 31 moneys for the purchase and condemnation of any property 32 shall be paid before possession is taken or any work done on 33 the premises damaged by the construction of such channel or HB2161 Re-Enrolled -16- LRB9004828PTcw 1 outlet, and in case of an appeal from the circuit court taken 2 by either party whereby the amount of damages is not finally 3 determined, then possession may be taken, if the amount of 4 the judgment in such court is deposited at some bank or 5 savings and loan association to be designated by the court, 6 subject to the payment of such damages on orders signed by 7 such 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 such district. 12 (Source: P.A. 83-1362.) 13 (70 ILCS 2805/32a.3) (from Ch. 42, par. 443a.3) 14 Sec. 32a.3. Unincorporated territory annexation. 15 Whenever any unincorporated territory, containing 60 acres or 16 less, is wholly bounded by any sanitary district organized 17 under this Act, that territory may be annexed by that 18 sanitary district by the passage of an ordinance to that 19 effect by the board of trustees of the sanitary district, 20 describing the territory to be annexed. Prior to the passage 21 of such ordinance, the record owners of all parcels to be 22 annexed shall be notified of the planned annexation. After 23 the passage of such ordinance of annexation a copy of such 24 ordinance, with an accurate map of the territory annexed, 25 certified as correct by the clerk of the board of trustees, 26 shall be filed with the County Clerk of the County in which 27 the annexed territory is situated. 28 (Source: Laws 1961, p. 550.) 29 Section 99.
