13Procedure and shall have the same effect as a notice filed

1municipality or county must publicly post in its main office a
2single address to which such notice shall be sent. In the event

18(ii) file an affidavit with the court attesting to the fact
19that the notice was sent to the alderman for the ward in which
20the real estate is located. The failure to send a copy of the
21notice to the alderman or to file an affidavit as required
22results in the dismissal without prejudice of the complaint or
23counterclaim on a motion of a party or the court. If, after the
24complaint or counterclaim has been dismissed without
25prejudice, the party refiles the complaint or counterclaim,
26then the party must again comply with the requirements that the
