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. 11-103-11.
The corporate authorities of every municipality which
acquires or constructs an airport or landing field as provided in Section
11-103-1 may issue the municipality's negotiable bonds for the purpose of
purchasing any existing claims or liens against the fee of the property on
which the airport or landing field is located. These bonds shall be issued
for such denominations, maturable at such time, bearing such rate of
interest, not in excess of the maximum rate authorized by the Bond
Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract,
and payable at such place as the corporate authorities may determine.
All bonds issued under this section shall be secured by the airport or
landing field property and shall be payable solely from this property or
the revenue derived from the operation or leasing of the airport, landing
field, and facilities, or appurtenances thereof. These bonds shall not, in
any event, constitute an indebtedness of the municipality within the
meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation. Each bond shall
plainly state on its face that it has been issued under the provisions of
this section and that it does not constitute an indebtedness of the
municipality within any constitutional or statutory limitation.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.
The amendatory Acts of 1971, 1972 and 1973 are not a limit upon any
municipality which is a home rule unit.

65 ILCS 5/11-103-12
(65 ILCS 5/11-103-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-103-12)
Sec. 11-103-12.
The corporate authorities of any municipality specified
in Section 11-103-1, for the purpose of acquiring land for an airport or
landing field or constructing an airport or landing field, or both, may
borrow money and as evidence thereof may issue bonds, payable solely from
revenue derived, from the operation or leasing of the airport, landing
field, and facilities or appurtenances thereof. These bonds may be issued
in such amounts as may be necessary to provide sufficient funds to pay all
costs of acquiring the land for an airport or landing field or constructing
an airport or landing field, or both, including engineering, legal, and
other expenses, together with interest on these bonds, to a date 6 months
subsequent to the estimated date of completion.
Whenever the corporate authorities of a specified municipality
determine to acquire land for an airport or landing field or to
construct an airport or landing field, or both, and to issue bonds under
this section for the payment of the cost thereof, the corporate
authorities shall adopt an ordinance describing in a general way the
contemplated project and refer to the plans and specifications therefor.
These plans and specifications shall be filed with the municipal clerk
and shall be open for inspection by the public.
This ordinance shall set out the estimated cost of the project, fix
the amount of revenue bonds to be issued, the maturity or maturities
thereof, the interest rate, which shall not exceed
the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the
time of the making of the contract, payable
annually or semi-annually, and all details in connection with the bonds.
The ordinance shall also declare that a statutory mortgage lien shall
exist upon the property of the airport or landing field, and shall
pledge the revenue derived from the operation or leasing of the airport,
landing field, and the facilities and appurtenances thereof for the
payment of maintenance and operating costs, providing an adequate
depreciation fund, and paying the principal and interest of the revenue
bonds issued thereunder.
After this ordinance has been adopted, it shall be published in the
same manner and form as is required for other ordinances of the
municipality.
The publication of the ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of
(1) the specific number of voters required to sign a petition requesting
the question of acquiring land for an airport or landing field or constructing
such facility and the issuance of bonds to be submitted to the electors;
(2) the time in which such petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the
prospective referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
to any individual requesting one.
If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk as provided in this
section within 30 days after the publication or posting of this
ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect after the expiration of this
30 day period. But if within this 30 day period a petition is filed with
the municipal clerk signed by electors of the municipality numbering
10% or more of the number of registered voters in the municipality,
asking that the question of acquiring land for an airport or
landing field or constructing an airport or landing field, or both, and
the issuance of the specified bonds, be submitted to the electors
thereof, the municipal clerk shall certify that question for submission at
an election in accordance with the general election law.
If a majority of the votes cast on the question are in
favor of acquiring land for an airport or landing field or constructing
an airport or landing field, or both, and in favor of the issuance of
the specified bonds, this ordinance shall be in effect. But if a
majority of the votes cast on the question are against the project and
the issuance of the bonds, this ordinance shall not become effective.
Bonds issued under this section are negotiable instruments, and shall
be executed by the mayor or president and by the municipal clerk of the
municipality. In case any officer whose signature appears on the bonds
or coupons ceases to hold that office before the bonds are delivered,
his signature, nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all
purposes, the same as though he had remained in office until the bonds
were delivered.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.
The amendatory Acts of 1971, 1972 and 1973 are not a limit upon any
municipality which is a home rule unit.

Bonds issued under Section 11-103-12 shall be payable
solely from the revenue derived from the operation or leasing of the
airport, landing field, and facilities or appurtenances thereof. These
bonds shall not, in any event, constitute an indebtedness of the
municipality, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
limitation. Each bond shall plainly state on its face that it has been
issued under the provisions of Section 11-103-12 and that it does not
constitute an indebtedness of the municipality within any constitutional or
statutory limitation.
These bonds shall be sold in such manner and upon such terms as the
corporate authorities shall determine. If the bonds are issued to bear
interest at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond
Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract,
they shall be sold for not less than par and accrued interest. If the bonds
are issued to bear interest at a rate of less than the maximum rate
authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the
making of the contract, the minimum price at which they may be sold shall
be such that the interest cost of the municipality of the proceeds of the
bonds shall not exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond
Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract,
computed to maturity, according to the standard table of bond values.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been

Whenever revenue bonds are issued under Section 11-103-12,
all revenue derived from the operation of the specified airport, landing
field, and facilities or appurtenances thereof, shall be set aside as
collected and shall be deposited in a separate fund designated as the
airport fund of the municipality. This fund shall be used only in paying
the cost of operation and maintenance of the airport or landing field, in
providing an adequate depreciation fund, and in paying the principal of and
interest upon the revenue bonds issued under Section 11-103-12.

(65 ILCS 5/11-103-15) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-103-15)
Sec. 11-103-15.
A statutory mortgage lien exists upon the airport or
landing field and the facilities and appurtenances thereof acquired by or
constructed from the proceeds of the revenue bonds authorized to be issued
under Section 11-103-12. This lien shall exist in favor of the holders of
these bonds, and each of them, and in favor of the holders of the coupons
attached to these bonds. The airport or landing field and the facilities
and appurtenances thereof shall remain subject to this statutory mortgage
lien until payment in full of the principal and interest of these revenue
bonds. Any holder of a bond issued under Section 11-103-12 or of any coupon
representing interest accrued thereon, may, in any civil action, enforce
the statutory mortgage lien created by this section, and may, by proper
suit, compel the performance of the duties of the officials of the issuing
municipality set forth in Sections 11-103-12 through 11-103-15.
If there is a default in the payment of the principal of or interest
upon any of these bonds, the circuit court in any proper action
may appoint a receiver to administer the airport or landing field and the
facilities and appurtenances thereof on behalf of the municipality with
power to charge and collect fees sufficient to provide for the payment of
the operating expenses and for the payment of these bonds and interest
thereon and to apply the income and revenue in conformity with Sections
11-103-12 through 11-103-15 and the ordinance providing for the issuance of
these bonds.

(65 ILCS 5/11-110-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-110-3)
Sec. 11-110-3.
Whenever, in the judgment of the corporate authorities of a
city or village, it becomes necessary or advantageous for the proper
construction of improvements specified in Section 11-110-1 to enlarge,
construct, or improve a natural or artificial drain outside the corporate
limits of the city or village to obtain a proper outlet, the corporate
authorities have the power to acquire the right of way therefor under the
provisions of the statutes relating to the exercise of the right of eminent
domain. Upon the establishment of this improvement, by the confirmation of
the assessment therefor, the corporate authorities have the power to
contract with all persons owning or interested in property or drains,
outside the corporate limits of the city or village, who will be benefited
by the improvement, for payment to the city or village of such an amount as
the improvement will benefit those persons. In case of a failure to agree
on the amount to be paid for these benefits the corporate authorities of
the city or village have the power to sue for and recover the amount in a
civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction in this state. The
amount recovered or realized by such an agreement or proceeding shall
become a part of the money raised to pay for the improvement, and may be
refunded in accordance with the provisions of Section 9-2-74.

65 ILCS 5/11-111-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-111-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-111-1)
Sec. 11-111-1.
Every city or village, whether incorporated under the
general law or under a special charter, whose site is wholly or partially
subject to overflow and wholly or partially surrounded by levees, dykes, or
embankments to prevent overflow: (1) may divide the municipality, or any
part thereof, into improvement districts, (2) may fix the grade of the
streets, avenues, alleys, or public grounds within the improvement
districts, at any height deemed necessary to give a surface drainage from
each improvement district to the river or rivers which cause the overflow,
and (3) may require low lots, blocks, or parts thereof, within an
improvement district to be filled in such manner as to prevent water from
standing thereon and thus to prevent them from becoming a nuisance or
injurious to the public health, in the judgment of the corporate
authorities of the municipality.
The work authorized to be done by Sections 11-111-1 through 11-111-7
shall be done by special assessment or special taxation of contiguous
property. Every city or village exercising the power granted by these
sections has the same power in relation to special assessments or special
taxation as is granted to any city, village, or drainage or improvement
district in this state.
