Sec. 10-20.
Detachment of part of township.
(a) If any township lies partly within and partly without any city, village,
or incorporated town and both the city, village, or incorporated town and the
township are charged with the duty of providing relief and support to poor and
indigent persons in the territory lying within both the township and the city,
village, or incorporated town, the county board may upon its own motion detach
the part of the township within the city, village, or incorporated town and may
annex the detached part to one or more townships wholly within the city,
village, or incorporated town.
(b) The township officers of any township from which territory is detached
shall continue as officers of the township until the expiration of the
respective terms for which they were elected or appointed and until their
successors are elected or appointed and qualified, without regard to
whether they reside in the township or the territory detached from the
township.
(c) All property belonging to the township from which territory is
detached and all debts of that township before the detachment shall
respectively remain the sole property and obligations of that
township.
