 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 Re-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 Re-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 Re-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 5-1123.
 4        The  county  board may, by resolution, provide a schedule
 5    of fees sufficient to reimburse  the  county  for  the  costs
 6    incurred  in  reviewing  such  maps,  plats  and subdivisions
 7    submitted  for  approval  to  the  county  board.  The   fees
 8    authorized  by  this  Section are to be paid into the general
 9    corporate fund of the county by the party  desiring  to  have
10    the plat approved.
11        No  officer designated by a county board for the approval
12    of plats shall engage in the business of  surveying,  and  no
13    map, plat or subdivision shall be received for record or have
14    any  validity  which  has  been  prepared  by  or  under  the
15    direction of such plat officer.
16        It  is  the  intention  of this amendatory Act of 1990 to
17    repeal the language added to Section  25.09  of  "An  Act  to
18    revise  the  law in relation to counties", approved March 31,
19    1874, by P.A. 86-614, Section 25.09 of  that  Act  being  the
20    predecessor of this Section.

23        (55 ILCS 5/5-1042) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1042)
24        Sec. 5-1042. Maps,  plats  and  subdivisions  in  certain
25    counties.  In  any  county with a population not in excess of
26    500,000 located  in  the  area  served  by  the  Northeastern
27    Illinois Metropolitan Planning Commission, a county board may
28    establish  by  ordinance  or  resolution of record reasonable
29    rules and  regulations  governing  the  location,  width  and
30    course  of  streets and highways, and the provision of public
31    grounds for schools, parks or playgrounds, in any  map,  plat
32    or  subdivision  of  any  block,  lot  or sub-lot or any part
33    thereof or any piece or parcel of land  in  the  county,  not

 3    reasonable  requirements  with  respect  to  water supply and
 4    sewage  collection  and  treatment,   and   such   reasonable
 5    requirements  with  respect to street drainage and surfacing,
 6    as  may  be  established  by  the  county  board  as  minimum
 7    requirements in  the  interest  of  the  health,  safety  and
 8    convenience  of  the public of the county; and may require by

12    approval  in  the  manner  provided in Section 5-1041, and to
13    require bonds and charge fees as provided in Section  5-1041.
14    This Section is subject to the provisions of Section 5-1123.

16        (55 ILCS 5/5-1123)
17        Sec. 5-1123. 5-1121.  Builder or developer cash bond.
18        (a)  A  county may not require a cash bond from a builder
19    or developer to guarantee completion of a project improvement
20    when the builder or developer has filed with the county clerk
21    a current, irrevocable letter  of  credit,  surety  bond,  or
22    letter  of  commitment,  issued  by  a bank, savings and loan
23    association, surety, or insurance company, deemed  with  good
24    and   sufficient  by  the  county  accepting  such  security,
25    sureties with the county clerk  in  an  amount  equal  to  or
26    greater  than  110%  of the amount of the bid on each project
27    improvement. A builder or developer may elect to  utilize  an
28    irrevocable  letter  of  credit,  surety  bond,  or letter of
29    commitment issued by a bank, savings  and  loan  association,
30    surety,  or  insurance company, deemed good and sufficient by
31    the county, to satisfy any cash bond requirement  established
32    by a county.
33        (b)  If  a  county receives a cash bond from a builder or
HB2161 Re-Enrolled         -6-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    developer to guarantee completion of a  project  improvement,
 2    the  county  shall (i) register the bond under the address of
 3    the project and the construction permit number and (ii)  give
 4    the  builder or developer a receipt for the bond.  The county
 5    shall establish and maintain a separate account for all  cash
 6    bonds  received  from  builders  and  developers to guarantee
 7    completion of a project improvement.
 8        (c)  The county shall refund a cash bond to a builder  or
 9    developer  within  60  days  after  the  builder or developer
10    notifies the county in  writing  of  the  completion  of  the
11    project  improvement  for  which  the  bond was required. For
12    these  purposes,  "completion"  means  that  the  county  has
13    determined that the project improvement for  which  the  bond
14    was  required  is complete or a licensed engineer or licensed
15    architect has certified to the builder or developer  and  the
16    county that the project improvement has been completed to the
17    applicable   codes  and  ordinances.  The  county  shall  pay
18    interest to the builder or developer, beginning 60 days after
19    the builder or developer notifies the county  in  writing  of
20    the  completion  of  the project improvement, on any bond not
21    refunded to a builder or developer, at the  rate  of  1%  per
22    month.
23        (d)  A  home rule county may not require or maintain cash
24    bonds from builders or developers in  a  manner  inconsistent
25    with  this  Section.  This Section is a denial and limitation
26    under subsection (i) of Section  6  of  Article  VII  of  the
27    Illinois  Constitution  on  the concurrent exercise by a home
28    rule county of powers and functions exercised by the State.
29    (Source: P.A. 89-518, eff. 1-1-97; revised 8-15-96.)
30        Section 2.5.  The Illinois Municipal Code is  amended  by
31    changing Sections 11-12-8 and 11-39-3 as follows:
32        (65 ILCS 5/11-12-8) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-12-8)
HB2161 Re-Enrolled         -7-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1        Sec.  11-12-8.  Compliance of plat with map - Designation
 2    of public lands - Approval - Bond - Order -  Failure  to  act
 3    upon  plat.  The  corporate  authorities  of the municipality
 4    shall determine whether a proposed  plat  of  subdivision  or
 5    resubdivision  complies with the official map. To secure such
 6    determination,  the  person  requesting  the  subdivision  or
 7    resubdivision shall file four copies of a plat  thereof  with
 8    the  clerk  of  the municipality, and shall furnish therewith
 9    four copies of all data necessary to show compliance with all
10    applicable municipal regulations and shall  make  application
11    for preliminary or final approval of the proposed plat.
12        Whenever  the  reasonable  requirements  provided  by the
13    ordinance including  the  official  map  shall  indicate  the
14    necessity  for  providing  for  a  school site, park site, or
15    other public lands within any proposed subdivision for  which
16    approval  has  been requested, and no such provision has been
17    made therefor, the municipal authority may require that lands
18    be designated for such public purpose before  approving  such
19    plat.  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  application  for
HB2161 Re-Enrolled         -8-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    preliminary   approval  shall  show  location  and  width  of
 2    proposed streets and public  ways,  shall  indicate  proposed
 3    location  of  sewers and storm drains, proposed dedication of
 4    public grounds, if any, lot  sizes,  proposed  easements  for
 5    public  utilities,  and  proposed  method of sewage and waste
 6    disposal, but need not contain  specifications  for  proposed
 7    improvements.
 8        The  plan  Commission  shall  approve  or  disapprove the
 9    application for preliminary approval within 90 days from  the
10    date of the application or the filing by the applicant of the
11    last  item  of  required  supporting  data, whichever date is
12    later, unless such time is extended  by  mutual  consent.  If
13    such  plat  is disapproved, then within said 90 days the plan
14    commission shall furnish to applicant in writing a  statement
15    setting  forth the reason for disapproval and specifying with
16    particularity the aspects in which the proposed plat fails to
17    conform to the ordinances including  official  map.  If  such
18    plat  is  approved  the  corporate  authority shall accept or
19    reject said plat within 30 days after its next regular stated
20    meeting  following  the  action  of  the   plan   commission.
21    Preliminary approval shall not qualify a plat for recording.
22        Application  for  final  approval of a plat shall be made
23    not later than one year after preliminary approval  has  been
24    granted. This application must be supported by such drawings,
25    specifications  and  bond  as may be necessary to demonstrate
26    compliance with all requirements of  this  statute  and  such
27    regulations  as  the  corporate  authorities  may  provide by
28    ordinance under authority of this statute.  This  Section  is
29    subject to the provisions of Section 11-39-3.
30        The  applicant  may  elect  to  have  final approval of a
31    geographic  part  or  parts  of  the   plat   that   received
32    preliminary  approval, and may delay application for approval
33    of other parts until a later date or dates  beyond  one  year
34    with the approval of the municipal authorities; provided, all
HB2161 Re-Enrolled         -9-                 LRB9004828PTcw
 1    facilities  required  to  serve  the  part or parts for which
 2    final approval is sought have been  provided.  In  such  case
 3    only  such  part  or parts of the plat as have received final
 4    approval shall be recorded.
 5        When  a  person  submitting  a  plat  of  subdivision  or
 6    resubdivision for final approval has supplied  all  drawings,
 7    maps and other documents required by the municipal ordinances
 8    to  be furnished in support thereof, and if all such material
 9    meets all municipal requirements, the  corporate  authorities
10    shall  approve the proposed plat within 60 days from the date
11    of filing the last required document or other paper or within
12    60 days  from  the  date  of  filing  application  for  final
13    approval  of the plat, whichever date is later. 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. If the proposed
 6    plat is disapproved, the order or resolution shall state  the
 7    reasons  for  the  disapproval, specifying with particularity
 8    the aspects in which the proposed plat fails  to  conform  to
 9    the  official map. 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.

26        (65 ILCS 5/11-39-3)
27        Sec. 11-39-3.  Builder or developer cash bond.
28        (a)  A  municipality  may  not require a cash bond from a
29    builder or developer to guarantee  completion  of  a  project
30    improvement  when the builder or developer has filed with the
31    municipal clerk a  current,  irrevocable  letter  of  credit,
32    surety  bond,  or  letter  of  commitment  issued  by a bank,
33    savings and loan association, surety, or  insurance  company,
HB2161 Re-Enrolled         -11-                LRB9004828PTcw
 1    deemed  with  good  and  sufficient  by the sureties with the
 2    clerk of the municipality  accepting  such  security,  in  an
 3    amount equal to or greater than 110% of the amount of the bid
 4    on each project improvement. A builder or developer may elect
 5    to  utilize  an irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, or
 6    letter of commitment, issued by  a  bank,  savings  and  loan
 7    association,  surety,  or  insurance company, deemed good and
 8    sufficient by the municipality,  to  satisfy  any  cash  bond
 9    requirement established by a municipality.
10        (b)  If  a  municipality  receives  a  cash  bond  from a
11    builder or developer to guarantee  completion  of  a  project
12    improvement,  the  municipality  shall  (i) register the bond
13    under the address of the project and the construction  permit
14    number  and  (ii) give the builder or developer a receipt for
15    the bond.  The municipality shall establish  and  maintain  a
16    separate  account  for  all cash bonds received from builders
17    and  developers  to  guarantee  completion   of   a   project
18    improvement.
19        (c)  The  municipality  shall  refund  a  cash  bond to a
20    builder or developer within 60  days  after  the  builder  or
21    developer   notifies  the  municipality  in  writing  of  the
22    completion of the project improvement for which the bond  was
23    required.  For  these  purposes,  "completion" means that the
24    municipality has determined that the project improvement  for
25    which  the  bond  was  required  is  complete  or  a licensed
26    engineer or licensed architect has certified to  the  builder
27    or   developer   and   the   municipality  that  the  project
28    improvement has been completed to the  applicable  codes  and
29    ordinances.  The  municipality  shall  pay  interest  to  the
30    builder  or  developer,  beginning  60  days after builder or
31    developer  notifies  the  municipality  in  writing  of   the
32    completion  of  the  project  improvement,  on  any  bond not
33    refunded to a builder or developer, at the  rate  of  1%  per
34    month.

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

 9        Section  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.

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.

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.
