Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

Sec. 9-3-35.
At any time after 15 days from date of acceptance of the
work by the corporate authorities bonds may be issued to anticipate the
collection of the unpaid portions of the assessment then remaining
unpaid for the purpose of paying the cost of the improvement, including
cost of making and collecting the assessment, engineering, inspection,
attorney's fees and other costs. The bonds may be sold by the corporate
authorities for not less than par and accrued interest to date of
delivery, or such bonds may be issued and delivered to the contractor in
payment of the work at not less than par. The bonds shall be authorized
pursuant to a resolution adopted by the corporate authorities and shall
bear a date not earlier than 20 days after the date of the awarding of
the contract for the construction of the improvement and coupons shall
be attached thereto representing interest due thereon as it matures,
interest to be paid annually. The bonds shall be executed by the
presiding officer of the municipality and attested by the clerk of such
municipality, with the corporate seal attached thereto. The bonds shall
recite specifically that they are payable solely and only from the
assessment levied for the payment of the cost of the improvement,
designating the improvement for which the assessment has been levied,
and shall mature on or before the first day of December next succeeding
the first day of January on which the last installment shall mature, and
shall bear interest at a rate of one per cent less than the installments
of the assessment against which they are issued bears. Interest coupons
attached to the bond shall bear the official or facsimile signatures of
the presiding officer and clerk. The bonds shall be made payable at such
place or places either within or without the State of Illinois, as shall
be declared by resolution of the corporate authorities. The bonds shall
be numbered consecutively beginning with number one upwards and shall be
payable in their numerical order, and redeemable prior to maturity in
numerical order as hereinafter provided. Such bonds shall be registered
by the treasurer of such municipality in a book provided for that
purpose and each bond shall bear the certificate of such registration
and upon the books of such treasurer shall be noted the name of the
holder thereof and his address. Any subsequent holder may cause the same
to be registered in the name of such subsequent holder upon submission
of proper proof of ownership. Such municipality shall have the right to
call and pay the bonds, or any number thereof, in the manner set out in
Section 9-3-36.

(65 ILCS 5/9-3-36) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-3-36)
Sec. 9-3-36.
Whenever there are sufficient funds in the hands of the
treasurer after the payment of all interest due and to become due within 6
months, the treasurer shall on the first day of October of any year, or at
any other time there are sufficient funds for that purpose on hand during
the year, give notice by registered mail, addressed to the last registered
holder of the bonds called at the address appearing upon his registry, that
there are funds sufficient to pay the designated bonds and interest thereon
to date 30 days hence from the date of such notice and directing
presentation of such bonds for payment and cancellation, and the bonds
shall cease to bear interest after the expiration of the 30 days and upon
payment and cancellation of the bonds proper entry thereof shall be made
upon the books of the treasurer. The treasurer, upon accumulation of
sufficient funds, as herein provided, shall pay one or more bonds and shall
call and pay such bonds, and any bondholder or holder of any interest
coupon appertaining to any bond shall be entitled to summary relief by
mandamus or injunction to enforce the provisions hereof. In addition to
giving notice by registered mail to the last registered holder of such
bonds, the treasurer shall cause to be published in a newspaper published
and of general circulation in such municipality, if there is such a
newspaper. If there is no such newspaper, the notice shall be given by
posting in at least 3 places within the area designated as probably
benefited by the improvement. Such notice shall be a notice of call and
redemption addressed to all unknown bondholders specifying the number of
the bonds called and designating the assessment against which the bonds
have been issued, and indicating that interest will cease on the bonds 30
days from and after the date of publication of such notice, and thereafter
the bonds shall cease to bear interest. Provisions as to redemption and
call of the bonds shall be inserted in each of the bonds issued in
accordance with the provisions of this Division 3.
