(5 ILCS 220/3.2a) (from Ch. 127, par. 743.2a)
Sec. 3.2a.
Whenever this Act, as amended from time to time, grants a municipal
joint action agency the power to organize and exercise powers in connection
with the efficient and environmentally sound collection, transportation,
processing, storage and disposal of municipal waste ("waste disposal"), a
municipality in the State of Illinois acting as a lead agency ("municipal
lead agency") in cooperation with other units of local government to
accomplish waste disposal may, by passage of an ordinance to that effect by
the municipal lead agency and by the other cooperating units of local
government, cause the municipal lead agency to possess all the powers of a
municipal joint action agency as if the municipal lead agency were
established as a municipal joint action agency under this Act, and also
cause the other cooperating units of local government to possess the same
powers to enter into contracts and perform those acts as they would with a
municipal joint action agency. The corporate authorities of the municipal
lead agency shall exercise the powers as are given the Board of Directors
of the municipal joint action agency. Copies of the ordinances of the
municipal lead agency and the other cooperating units of local government
to operate under this Section shall be filed with the Secretary of State.
