20system of the sanitary district or into any sewer tributary
21therewith, except upon the terms and conditions that the
22sanitary district might reasonably impose by way of ordinance,
23permit, rule, or regulation.
24    The sanitary district, in addition to all other powers
25vested in it and in the interest of public health and safety,
26or as authorized by subsections (b) and (c) of Section 46 of

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 20 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1the Environmental Protection Act, is hereby empowered to pass
2all ordinances, rules, or regulations necessary to implement
3this Section, including, but not limited to, the imposition of
4charges based on factors that influence the cost of treatment,
5including strength and volume, and including the right of
6access during reasonable hours to the premises of a person for
7enforcement of adopted ordinances, rules, or regulations.
8    (c) Whenever the sanitary district, acting through the
9executive director, determines that sewage, industrial wastes,
10or other wastes are being discharged into the sewerage system
11and when, in the opinion of the executive director, the
12discharge is in violation of an ordinance, rules, or
13regulations adopted by the board of trustees under this Section
14governing industrial wastes or other wastes, the executive
15director shall order the offending party to cease and desist.
16The order shall be served by certified mail or personally on
17the owner, officer, registered agent, or individual designated
18by permit.
19    In the event the offending party fails or refuses to
20discontinue the discharge within 90 days after notification of
21the cease and desist order, the executive director may order
22the offending party to show cause before the board of trustees
23of the sanitary district why the discharge should not be

26trustees why an order should not be entered directing the

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 21 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1discontinuance of the discharge. The notice shall specify the
2time and place where a hearing will be held and shall be served
3personally or by registered or certified mail at least 10 days
4before the hearing; and, in the case of a unit of local
5government or a corporation, the service shall be upon an
6officer or agent thereof. After reviewing the evidence, the
7board of trustees may issue an order to the party responsible
8for the discharge, directing that within a specified period of
9time the discharge be discontinued. The board of trustees may
10also order the party responsible for the discharge to pay a
11civil penalty in an amount specified by the board of trustees
12that is not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000 per day for
13each day of discharge of effluent in violation of this Act as
14provided in subsection (d). The board of trustees may also
15order the party responsible for the violation to pay court
16reporter costs and hearing officer fees in an amount not
17exceeding $3,000.
18    (d) The board of trustees shall establish procedures for
19assessing civil penalties and issuing orders under subsection
20(c) as follows:
21        (1) In making its orders and determinations, the board
22    of trustees shall take into consideration all the facts and
23    circumstances bearing on the activities involved and the
24    assessment of civil penalties as shown by the record
25    produced at the hearing.
26        (2) The board of trustees shall establish a panel of

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 22 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1    one or more independent hearing officers to conduct all
2    hearings on the assessment of civil penalties and issuance
3    of orders under subsection (c). All hearing officers shall
4    be attorneys licensed to practice law in this State.
5        (3) The board of trustees shall promulgate procedural
6    rules governing the proceedings, the assessment of civil
7    penalties, and the issuance of orders.
8        (4) All hearings shall be on the record, and testimony
9    taken must be under oath and recorded stenographically.
10    Transcripts so recorded must be made available to any
11    member of the public or any party to the hearing upon
12    payment of the usual charges for transcripts. At the
13    hearing, the hearing officer may issue, in the name of the
14    board of trustees, notices of hearing requesting the
15    attendance and testimony of witnesses, the production of
16    evidence relevant to any matter involved in the hearing,
17    and may examine witnesses.
18        (5) The hearing officer shall conduct a full and
19    impartial hearing on the record, with an opportunity for
20    the presentation of evidence and cross-examination of the
21    witnesses. The hearing officer shall issue findings of
22    fact, conclusions of law, a recommended civil penalty, and
23    an order based solely on the record. The hearing officer
24    may also recommend, as part of the order, that the
25    discharge of industrial waste be discontinued within a
26    specified time.

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 23 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1        (6) The findings of fact, conclusions of law,
2    recommended civil penalty, and order shall be transmitted
3    to the board of trustees along with a complete record of
4    the hearing.
5        (7) The board of trustees shall either approve or
6    disapprove the findings of fact, conclusions of law,
7    recommended civil penalty, and order. If the findings of
8    fact, conclusions of law, recommended civil penalty, or
9    order are rejected, the board of trustees shall remand the
10    matter to the hearing officer for further proceedings. If
11    the order is accepted by the board of trustees, it shall
12    constitute the final order of the board of trustees.
13        (8) The civil penalty specified by the board of
14    trustees shall be paid within 35 days after the party on
15    whom it is imposed receives a written copy of the order of
16    the board of trustees, unless the person or persons to whom
17    the order is issued seeks judicial review.
18        (9) If a person seeks judicial review of the order
19    assessing civil penalties, the person shall, within 35 days
20    after the date of the final order, pay the amount of the
21    civil penalties into an escrow account maintained by the
22    sanitary district for that purpose or file a bond
23    guaranteeing payment of the civil penalties if the civil
24    penalties are upheld on review.
25        (10) Civil penalties not paid by the times specified
26    above shall be delinquent and subject to a lien recorded

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 24 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1    against the property of the person ordered to pay the
2    penalty. The foregoing provisions for asserting liens
3    against real estate by the sanitary district shall be in
4    addition to any other remedy or right of recovery that the
5    sanitary district may have with respect to the collection
6    or recovery of penalties and charges imposed by the
7    sanitary district. Judgment in a civil action brought by
8    the sanitary district to recover or collect the charges
9    shall not operate as a release and waiver of the lien upon
10    the real estate for the amount of the judgment. Only
11    satisfaction of the judgment or the filing of a release or
12    satisfaction of lien shall release the lien.
13    (e) The executive director may order a person to cease the
14discharge of industrial waste upon a finding by the executive
15director that the final order of the board of trustees entered
16after a hearing to show cause has been violated. The executive
17director shall serve the person with a copy of his or her order
18either by certified mail or personally by serving the owner,
19officer, registered agent, or individual designated by permit.
20The order of the executive director shall also schedule an
21expedited hearing before a hearing officer designated by the
22board of trustees for the purpose of determining whether the
23person has violated the final order of the board of trustees.
24The board of trustees shall adopt rules of procedure governing
25expedited hearings. In no event shall the hearing be conducted
26less than 7 days after service of the executive director's

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 25 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1order.
2    At the conclusion of the expedited hearing, the hearing
3officer shall prepare a report with his or her findings and
4recommendations and transmit it to the board of trustees. If
5the board of trustees, after reviewing the findings and
6recommendations, and the record produced at the hearing,
7determines that the person has violated the board of trustees'
8final order, the board of trustees may authorize the plugging
9of the sewer. The executive director shall give not less than
1010 days' written notice of the board of trustees' order to the
11owner, officer, registered agent, or individual designated by
12permit, as well as the owner of record of the real estate and
13other parties known to be affected, that the sewer will be
14plugged.
15    The foregoing provision for plugging a sewer shall be in
16addition to any other remedy that the sanitary district may
17have to prevent violation of its ordinances and orders of its
18board of trustees.
19    (f) A violation of the final order of the board of trustees
20shall be considered a nuisance. If any person discharges
21sewage, industrial wastes, or other wastes into any waters
22contrary to the final order of the board of trustees, the
23sanitary district, acting through the executive director, has
24the power to commence an action or proceeding in the circuit
25court in and for the county in which the sanitary district is
26located for the purpose of having the discharge stopped either

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 26 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1by mandamus or injunction, or to remedy the violation in any
2manner provided for in this Section.
3    The court shall specify a time, not exceeding 20 days after
4the service of the copy of the complaint, in which the party
5complained of must plead to the complaint, and in the meantime,
6the party may be restrained. In case of default or after
7pleading, the court shall immediately inquire into the facts
8and circumstances of the case and enter an appropriate judgment
9in respect to the matters complained of. Appeals may be taken
10as in other civil cases.
11    (g) The sanitary district, acting through the executive
12director, has the power to commence an action or proceeding for
13mandamus or injunction in the circuit court ordering a person
14to cease its discharge, when, in the opinion of the executive
15director, the person's discharge presents an imminent danger to
16the public health, welfare, or safety; presents or may present
17an endangerment to the environment; or threatens to interfere
18with the operation of the sewerage system or a water
19reclamation plant under the jurisdiction of the sanitary
20district. The initiation of a show cause hearing is not a
21prerequisite to the commencement by the sanitary district of an
22action or proceeding for mandamus or injunction in the circuit
23court. The court shall specify a time, not exceeding 20 days
24after the service of a copy of the petition, in which the party
25complained of must answer the petition, and in the meantime,
26the party may be restrained. In case of default in answer or

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 27 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1after answer, the court shall immediately inquire into the
2facts and circumstances of the case and enter an appropriate
3judgment order in respect to the matters complained of. An
4appeal may be taken from the final judgment in the same manner
5and with the same effect as appeals are taken from judgment of
6the circuit court in other actions for mandamus or injunction.
7    (h) Whenever the sanitary district commences an action
8under subsection (f) of this Section, the court shall assess a
9civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 for
10each day the person violates the board of trustees' order.
11Whenever the sanitary district commences an action under
12subsection (g) of this Section, the court shall assess a civil
13penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 for each
14day the person violates the ordinance. Each day's continuance
15of the violation is a separate offense. The penalties provided
16in this Section plus interest at the rate set forth in the
17Interest Act on unpaid penalties, costs, and fees, imposed by
18the board of trustees under subsection (d); the reasonable
19costs to the sanitary district of removal or other remedial
20action caused by discharges in violation of this Act;
21reasonable attorney's fees; court costs; other expenses of
22litigation; and costs for inspection, sampling, analysis, and
23administration related to the enforcement action against the
24offending party are recoverable by the sanitary district in a
25civil action.
26    (i) The board of trustees may establish fees for late

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 28 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1filing of reports with the sanitary district required by an
2ordinance governing discharges. The sanitary district shall
3provide by certified mail a written notice of the fee
4assessment that states the person has 30 days after the receipt
5of the notice to request a conference with the executive
6director's designee to discuss or dispute the appropriateness
7of the assessed fee. Unless a person objects to paying the fee
8for filing a report late by timely requesting in writing a
9conference with a designee of the executive director, that
10person waives his or her right to a conference and the sanitary
11district may impose a lien recorded against the property of the
12person for the amount of the unpaid fee.
13    If a person requests a conference and the matter is not
14resolved at the conference, the person subject to the fee may
15request an administrative hearing before an impartial hearing
16officer appointed under subsection (d) to determine the
17person's liability for and the amount of the fee. If the
18hearing officer finds that the late filing fees are owed to the
19sanitary district, the sanitary district shall notify the
20responsible person or persons of the hearing officer's
21decision. If payment is not made within 30 days after the
22notice, the sanitary district may impose a lien on the property
23of the person or persons.
24    Any liens filed under this subsection shall apply only to
25the property to which the late filing fees are related. A claim
26for lien shall be filed in the office of the recorder of the

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 29 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1county in which the property is located. The filing of a claim
2for lien by the sanitary district does not prevent the sanitary
3district from pursuing other means for collecting late filing
4fees. If a claim for lien is filed, the sanitary district shall
5notify the person whose property is subject to the lien, and
6the person may challenge the lien by filing an action in the
7circuit court. The action shall be filed within 90 days after
8the person receives the notice of the filing of the claim for
9lien. The court shall hear evidence concerning the underlying
10reasons for the lien only if an administrative hearing has not
11been held under this subsection.
12    (j) To be effective service under this Section, a demand or
13order sent by certified or registered mail to the last known
14address need not be received by the offending party. Service of
15the demand or order by registered or certified mail shall be
16deemed effective upon deposit in the United States mail with
17proper postage prepaid and addressed as provided in this
18Section.
19    (k) The provisions of the Administrative Review Law and all
20amendments and rules adopted pursuant to that Law apply to and
21govern all proceedings for the judicial review of final
22administrative decisions of the board of trustees in the
23enforcement of any ordinance, rule, or regulation adopted under
24this Act. The cost of preparing the record on appeal shall be
25paid by the person seeking a review of an order or action
26pursuant to the Administrative Review Law.

1    (l) The provisions of this Section are severable under
2Section 1.31 of the Statute on Statutes.
 
3    (70 ILCS 2305/11)  (from Ch. 42, par. 287)
4    Sec. 11. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, all
5contracts for purchases or sales by the municipality, the
6expense of which will exceed the mandatory competitive bid
7threshold, shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder
8therefor upon not less than 14 days' public notice of the terms
9and conditions upon which the contract is to be let, having
10been given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation
11published in the district, and the board may reject any and all
12bids and readvertise. In determining the lowest responsible
13bidder, the board shall take into consideration the qualities
14and serviceability of the articles supplied, their conformity
15with specifications, their suitability to the requirements of
16the district, the availability of support services, the
17uniqueness of the service, materials, equipment, or supplies as
18it applies to network integrated computer systems, the
19compatibility of the service, materials, equipment or supplies
20with existing equipment, and the delivery terms. Contracts for
21services in excess of the mandatory competitive bid threshold
22may, subject to the provisions of this Section, be let by
23competitive bidding at the discretion of the district board of
24trustees. All contracts for purchases or sales that will not
25exceed the mandatory competitive bid threshold may be made in

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 31 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1the open market without publication in a newspaper as above
2provided, but whenever practical shall be based on at least 3
3competitive bids. For purposes of this Section, the "mandatory
4competitive bid threshold" is a dollar amount equal to 0.1% of
5the total general fixed assets of the district as reported in
6the most recent required audit report. In no event, however,
7shall the mandatory competitive bid threshold dollar amount be
8less than $10,000, nor more than $40,000.
9    Cash, a cashier's check, a certified check, or a bid bond
10with adequate surety approved by the board of trustees as a
11deposit of good faith, in a reasonable amount, but not in
12excess of 10% of the contract amount, may be required of each
13bidder by the district on all bids involving amounts in excess
14of the mandatory competitive bid threshold and, if so required,
15the advertisement for bids shall so specify.
16    Contracts which by their nature are not adapted to award by
17competitive bidding, including, without limitation, contracts
18for the services of individuals, groups or firms possessing a
19high degree of professional skill where the ability or fitness
20of the individual or organization plays an important part,
21contracts for financial management services undertaken
22pursuant to "An Act relating to certain investments of public
23funds by public agencies", approved July 23, 1943, as now or
24hereafter amended, contracts for the purchase or sale of
25utilities, contracts for commodities including supply
26contracts for natural gas and electricity, contracts for

2supply, contracts for services, supplies, materials, parts, or
3equipment which are available only from a single source or
4contracts for maintenance, repairs, OEM supplies, or OEM parts
5from the manufacturer or from a source authorized by the
6manufacturer, contracts for the use, purchase, delivery,
7movement, or installation of data processing equipment,
8software, or services and telecommunications and interconnect
9equipment, software, or services, contracts for duplicating
10machines and supplies, contracts for goods or services procured
11from another governmental agency, purchases of equipment
12previously owned by an entity other than the district itself,
13purchases of used equipment, purchases at auction or similar
14transactions which by their very nature are not suitable to
15competitive bids, and leases of real property where the
16sanitary district is the lessee shall not be subject to the
17competitive bidding requirements of this Section.
18    The District may use a design-build procurement method for
19any public project which shall not be subject to the
20competitive bidding requirements of this Section provided the
21Board of Trustees approves the contract for the public project
22by a vote of 4 of the 5 trustees. For the purposes of this
23Section, "design-build" means a delivery system that provides
24responsibility within a single contract for the furnishing of
25architecture, engineering, land surveying and related services
26as required, and the labor, materials, equipment, and other

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 33 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1construction services for the project.
2    In the case of an emergency affecting the public health or
3safety so declared by the Board of Trustees of the municipality
4at a meeting thereof duly convened, which declaration shall
5require the affirmative vote of four of the five Trustees, and
6shall set forth the nature of the danger to the public health
7or safety, contracts totaling not more than the emergency
8contract cap may be let to the extent necessary to resolve such
9emergency without public advertisement or competitive bidding.
10For purposes of this Section, the dollar amount of an emergency
11contract shall not be less than $40,000, nor more than
12$350,000. The Resolution or Ordinance in which such declaration
13is embodied shall fix the date upon which such emergency shall
14terminate which date may be extended or abridged by the Board
15of Trustees as in their judgment the circumstances require. A
16full written account of any such emergency, together with a
17requisition for the materials, supplies, labor or equipment
18required therefor shall be submitted immediately upon
19completion and shall be open to public inspection for a period
20of at least one year subsequent to the date of such emergency
21purchase. Within 30 days after the passage of the resolution or
22ordinance declaring an emergency affecting the public health or
23safety, the municipality shall submit to the Illinois
24Environmental Protection Agency the full written account of any
25such emergency along with a copy of the resolution or ordinance
26declaring the emergency, in accordance with requirements as may

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 34 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1be provided by rule.
2    To address operating emergencies not affecting the public
3health or safety, the Board of Trustees shall authorize, in
4writing, officials or employees of the sanitary district to
5purchase in the open market and without advertisement any
6supplies, materials, equipment, or services for immediate
7delivery to meet the bona fide operating emergency, without
8filing a requisition or estimate therefor, in an amount not in
9excess of $100,000; provided that the Board of Trustees must be
10notified of the operating emergency. A full, written account of
11each operating emergency and a requisition for the materials,
12supplies, equipment, and services required to meet the
13operating emergency must be immediately submitted by the
14officials or employees authorized to make purchases to the
15Board of Trustees. The account must be available for public
16inspection for a period of at least one year after the date of
17the operating emergency purchase. The exercise of authority
18with respect to purchases for a bona fide operating emergency
19is not dependent on a declaration of an operating emergency by
20the Board of Trustees.
21    The competitive bidding requirements of this Section do not
22apply to contracts, including contracts for both materials and
23services incidental thereto, for the repair or replacement of a
24sanitary district's treatment plant, sewers, equipment, or
25facilities damaged or destroyed as the result of a sudden or
26unexpected occurrence, including, but not limited to, a flood,

 

 

SB1854 Enrolled- 35 -LRB099 11056 AWJ 31443 b

1fire, tornado, earthquake, storm, or other natural or man-made
2disaster, if the board of trustees determines in writing that
3the awarding of those contracts without competitive bidding is
4reasonably necessary for the sanitary district to maintain
5compliance with a permit issued under the National Pollution
6Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) or any successor system or
7with any outstanding order relating to that compliance issued
8by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the
9Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, or the Illinois
10Pollution Control Board. The authority to issue contracts
11without competitive bidding pursuant to this paragraph expires
126 months after the date of the writing determining that the
13awarding of contracts without competitive bidding is
14reasonably necessary.
15    No Trustee shall be interested, directly or indirectly, in
16any contract, work or business of the municipality, or in the
17sale of any article, whenever the expense, price or
18consideration of the contract work, business or sale is paid
19either from the treasury or by any assessment levied by any
20Statute or Ordinance. No Trustee shall be interested, directly
21or indirectly, in the purchase of any property which (1)
22belongs to the municipality, or (2) is sold for taxes or
23assessments of the municipality, or (3) is sold by virtue of
24legal process in the suit of the municipality.

2controlled by the provisions of Division 2 of Article 9 of the
3"Illinois Municipal Code", approved May 29, 1961, as heretofore
4or hereafter amended, as near as may be. However, contracts may
5be let for making proper and suitable connections between the
6mains and outlets of the respective sanitary sewers in the
7district with any conduit, conduits, main pipe or pipes that
8may be constructed by such sanitary district.

14district at higher rates than the existing rates for like
15consumers within the sanitary district to allow the sanitary
16district to obtain a fair return to cover the costs of
17financing, constructing, operating, and maintaining its
18facilities. In the event that thereafter such rates are not
19agreed upon by the parties or are not otherwise provided for by
