(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 90-568)
Sec. 8. Except as otherwise in this Act provided, the
sanitary district may acquire by lease, purchase or otherwise
within or without its corporate limits, or by condemnation
within its corporate limits, any and all real and personal
property, right of way and privilege that may be required for
its corporate purposes. All moneys for the purchase and
condemnation of any property must be paid before possession
is taken, or any work done on the premises. In case of an
appeal from the Court in which the condemnation proceedings
are pending, taken by either party, whereby the amount of
damages is not finally determined, the amount of the judgment
in the court shall be deposited with the county treasurer of
the county in which the judgment is rendered, subject to the
payment of damages on orders signed by the judge whenever the
amount of damages is finally determined.
Upon recommendation of the general superintendent and
upon the approval of the board of trustees when any real or
personal property, right of way or privilege or any interest
therein, or any part thereof of such sanitary district is no
longer required for the corporate purposes of the sanitary
district it may be sold, vacated or released. Such sales,
vacations, or releases may be made subject to such conditions
and the retention of such interest therein as may be deemed
for the best interest of such sanitary district as
recommended by the general superintendent and approved by the
board of trustees.
However, the sanitary district may enter into a lease of
a building or a part thereof, or acquire title to a building
already constructed or to be constructed, for the purpose of
securing office space for its administrative corporate
functions, the period of such lease not to exceed 15 years
except as authorized by the provisions of Section 8b of this
Act. In the event of the purchase of such property for
administrative corporate functions, the sanitary district may
execute a mortgage or other documents of indebtedness as may
be required for the unpaid balance, to be paid in not more
than 15 annual installments. Annual installments on the
mortgage or annual payment on the lease shall be considered a
current corporate expense of the year in which they are to be
paid, and the amount of such annual installment or payment
shall be included in the Annual Appropriation and Corporate
Tax Levy Ordinances. Such expense may be incurred,
notwithstanding the provisions, if any applicable, contained
in any other Sections of this Act.
The sanitary district may dedicate to the public for
highway purposes any of its real property and the dedications
may be made subject to such conditions and the retention of
such interests therein as considered in the best interests of
the sanitary district by the board of trustees upon
recommendation of the general superintendent.
The sanitary district may lease to others for any period
of time, not to exceed 99 years, upon the terms as its board
of trustees upon recommendation of the general superintendent
may determine, any such real property, right-of-way or
privilege, or any interest therein or any part thereof, which
is in the opinion of the board of trustees and general
superintendent of the sanitary district no longer required
for its corporate purposes or which may not be immediately
needed for such purposes. The leases may contain such
conditions and retain such interests therein as considered in
the best interests of the sanitary district by the board of
trustees upon recommendation of the general superintendent.
Negotiations and execution of such leases and preparatory
activities in connection therewith must comply with Section
8c of this Act. The sanitary district may grant easements and
permits for the use of any such real property, right-of-way,
or privilege, which will not in the opinion of the board of
trustees and general superintendent of the sanitary district
interfere with the use thereof by the sanitary district for
its corporate purposes. Such easements and permits may
contain such conditions and retain such interests therein as
considered in the best interests of the sanitary district by
the board of trustees upon recommendation of the general
superintendent.
No sales, vacations, dedications for highway purposes, or
leases for periods in excess of 5 years, of the following
described real estate, may be made or granted by the sanitary
district without the approval in writing of the Director of
Natural Resources of the State of Illinois:

notify in writing the contiguous municipality of the proposed
sale. Prior to the sale of the real estate, the municipality
shall notify in writing the sanitary district that the

Sec. 9.6c. Local Government Assistance Program; bonds.
(a) The General Assembly finds that governmental units
located within the boundaries of the district require
assistance in financing the cost of repair, replacement,
reconstruction, and rehabilitation of local sewer collection
systems to reduce certain excessive sanitary sewer

increased need for treatment and storage facilities of the

engineering, architectural, legal, fiscal or economic
investigations or studies, surveys, designs, plans,
working drawings, specifications, procedures or other

assistance bonds under this Section 9.6c for the purpose of
funding the assistance program, which bonds shall be revenue
bonds payable from any lawfully available revenue source,
