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 in every municipality, incorporated
under any law of this state, have the power, by ordinance:

(1) To convey, grant, transfer, or sell to the United

States of America, or to any proper agency thereof, any real or personal property owned by the municipality, upon such terms as may be agreed upon by the corporate authorities, or in consideration of a grant or loan of money by the United States of America, or any agency thereof, for the construction, extension, or improvement of any public works project or municipal building;

(2) To lease from the United States of America, or

any proper agency thereof, any real or personal property for use for any municipal purpose, for any period of time not exceeding 50 years, with or without an option to buy the property and with or without a clause to the effect that title to the leased property shall vest in the municipality at the expiration of the lease;

(3) To pay for the use of this leased property in

accordance with the terms of the lease; and

(4) To authorize any municipal official to enter into

such a lease and to sign it on behalf of the municipality, and to execute any deed or other evidence of transfer of title on behalf of the municipality, to effect or evidence any exercise of the powers granted by this section.

Such a lease may be entered into without making a

previous appropriation for the expense thereby incurred, notwithstanding the prohibitions contained in Sections 8-1-6 and 8-1-7. An obligation to pay incurred under such a lease shall not be an indebtedness of the municipality within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation upon municipal indebtedness, but the obligation shall be a current expense of the year in which it is paid.
