Sec. 2-35.
Disconnection petition.
(a) A township with 1,000 or more inhabitants according to the last
preceding special Federal Census may be disconnected from a multi-township
district under this Section if: (1) the township had less than 1,000
inhabitants preceding the date on which the township was included within a
multi-township district under Section 2-5 and 2-10; or (2) the township was
included within a multi-township district created under Section 2-15.
(b) If a petition for the disconnection from a multi-township assessment
district of a township described in subsection (a) is signed by 10% of the
registered voters of the township and is filed with the clerk of the township
no later than August 1 of the year preceding the year in which the
multi-township assessor is to be elected, the clerk shall promptly forward the
petition to the township board of trustees. The township board of trustees
shall adopt or reject the petition within 60 days after receiving it. If the
board adopts the petition, the township shall be disconnected from the
multi-township district, effective upon the expiration of the term of office of
the incumbent multi-township assessor.
(c) After the disconnection of a township under this Section, the
multi-township district shall continue to exist. If only one township remains
in the district after the disconnection or if the combined population of the
remaining townships is less than 1,000 inhabitants, the disconnection shall not
be allowed.
