65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

The corporate authorities from time to
time may establish by ordinance
all needful rules and regulations for the management and control of such a
municipal convention hall. All these ordinances, for the violation of which
fines are imposed shall be published in the same manner and form as is
required for other ordinances of the municipality, and these ordinances may
be printed in book or pamphlet form in such manner as the corporate
authorities shall direct. Rules established by these ordinances shall be
brought to the notice of the public by being posted in conspicuous places
in the municipal convention hall. When these ordinances are printed in book
or
pamphlet form, and purport to be published by authority of the corporate
authorities, the book or pamphlet shall be received in all courts as evidence
of the contents of these ordinances, and of the passage and publication
thereof as of the dates therein mentioned, without further proof.

(65 ILCS 5/11-65-9) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-65-9)

Sec. 11-65-9.

Every municipality owning and operating such a
municipal convention
hall shall keep books of account for the municipal convention hall separate
and
distinct from other municipal accounts and in such manner as to
show the true
and complete financial standing and results of the municipal
ownership and
operation. These accounts shall be so kept as to show: (1) the actual cost
to the municipality of maintenance, extension, and improvement,
(2) all operating
expenses of every description, (3) if water or other service is furnished
for the use of the municipal convention hall without charge, as nearly as
possible,
the value of that service, and also the value of any use or service
rendered by the municipal convention hall to the municipality
without charge, (4) reasonable
allowances for interest, depreciation, and insurance, and (5) estimates of
the amount of taxes that would be chargeable against the property if owned
by a private corporation. The corporate authorities shall
publish a report annually
showing the financial results, in the form specified in this section, of
the municipal ownership and operation in one or more newspapers
published in the
municipality, or, if no newspaper is published therein, then in one or more
newspapers with a general circulation within the municipality.

The accounts of the convention hall shall be examined at least once a
year by a licensed Certified Public Accountant permitted to perform audits under the Illinois Public Accounting Act who shall report to the corporate authorities the
results of his examination. This accountant shall be selected as the
corporate authorities may direct, and he shall receive for
his services such
compensation, to be paid out of the revenue from the municipal convention
hall, as
the corporate authorities may prescribe.
