 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,

 6        (70 ILCS 2605/9.6a) (from Ch. 42, par. 328.6a)
 7        Sec. 9.6a.   The  corporate  authorities  of  a  sanitary

 9    replacing, remodeling, completing, altering, constructing and
10    enlarging  of  sewage  treatment  works  or   flood   control
11    facilities,   and   additions   therefor,  pumping  stations,
12    tunnels, conduits, intercepting  sewers  and  outlet  sewers,
13    together   with   the   equipment,  including  air  pollution
14    equipment, and appurtenances thereto,  to  acquire  property,
15    real,  personal  or  mixed,  necessary for said purposes, for
16    costs and expenses for  the  acquisition  of  the  sites  and
17    rights-of-way necessary thereto, and for engineering expenses
18    for designing and supervising the construction of such works,
19    may issue on or before December 31, 2016 2006, in addition to
20    all other obligations heretofore or herein authorized, bonds,
21    notes or other evidences of indebtedness for such purposes in
22    an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed
23    3.35%  of  the  equalized  assessed  valuation of all taxable
24    property within the sanitary district, to be  ascertained  by
25    the last assessment for State and local taxes previous to the
26    issuance  of  any such obligations. Such obligations shall be
27    issued without submitting the question of  such  issuance  to
28    the legal voters of such sanitary district for approval.
29        The  corporate  authorities  may sell such obligations at
30    private or  public  sale  and  enter  into  any  contract  or
31    agreement   necessary,   appropriate  or  incidental  to  the
 
                            -2-                LRB9212590ACsb
 1    exercise of  the  powers  granted  by  this  Act,  including,
 2    without  limitation, contracts or agreements for the sale and
 3    purchase of such obligations and the  payment  of  costs  and
 4    expenses incident thereto.  The corporate authorities may pay
 5    such  costs  and  expenses,  in  whole  or  in part, from the
 6    corporate fund.
 7        Such obligations shall be issued from time to  time  only
 8    in  amounts  as  may  be  required  for such purposes but the
 9    amount of such obligations issued during any one budget  year
10    shall   not  exceed  $100,000,000  plus  the  amount  of  any
11    obligations authorized by this Act to be issued during the  3
12    budget  years  next  preceding the year of issuance but which
13    were not issued,  provided,  however,  that  this  limitation
14    shall  not  be  applicable  to the issuance of obligations to
15    refund bonds, notes or other evidences of  indebtedness,  nor
16    to  obligations  issued to provide for the repayment of money
17    received from the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund  for
18    the  construction  or  repair  of wastewater treatment works.
19    Each ordinance authorizing the issuance  of  the  obligations
20    shall  state  the  general purpose or purposes for which they
21    are to be issued, and the corporate authorities  may  at  any
22    time  thereafter  pass supplemental appropriations ordinances
23    appropriating the proceeds from the sale of such  obligations
24    for such purposes.
25        The corporate authorities may issue bonds, notes or other
26    evidences  of  indebtedness in an amount necessary to provide
27    funds to refund outstanding obligations  issued  pursuant  to
28    this   Section,  including  interest  accrued  or  to  accrue
29    thereon.
