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.

Revenue bonds.
In order to pay the cost of the
construction, acquisition by condemnation, purchase or otherwise of any
waterworks properties, or sewage facilities, or a combination thereof, or
waste management facilities, as the case may be, and the
improvement or extension from time to time thereof, including engineering,
inspection, legal and financial fees and costs, working capital, interest
on such bonds during construction and for a reasonable period thereafter,
establishment of reserves to secure such bonds and all other expenditures
of such county incidental and necessary or convenient thereto, the county
board may issue and sell revenue bonds payable solely from the income and
revenue derived from the operation of the waterworks properties, or sewage
facilities, or a combination thereof, or waste management facilities,
as the case may be, and may also from
time to time issue revenue bonds for the purpose of paying, refunding
or redeeming revenue bonds before, after or at their maturity, including
paying redemption premiums or interest accruing or to accrue on the bonds
being paid or redeemed or for paying any other costs in connection with
any such payment or redemption. All such bonds shall be authorized by
ordinance to be adopted by the board, which shall be separate and distinct
as applies to waterworks properties and as applied to sewage facilities
except where the system is combined. Such bonds shall bear such date or
dates, mature at such time or serially at such times not exceeding 40 years
from their respective dates, may bear interest at such rate or rates not
exceeding the maximum rate established in "An Act to authorize public
corporations to issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness and tax
anticipation warrants subject to interest rate limitations set forth
therein", approved May 26, 1970, as from time to time in effect, may be in
such form, may carry such registration privileges, may be executed in such
manner, may be payable at such place or places, may be subject to
redemption in such manner, and upon such terms with or without premium as
is stated on the face thereof, and may be executed in such manner by such
officers, and may contain such terms and covenants, all as provided by the
ordinance authorizing the issue.
Such bonds shall be sold in such manner as the board shall determine,
and if issued to bear interest at the maximum rate specified in this
Section shall be sold for not less than par and accrued interest; however,
the selling price of any bonds bearing less than such maximum rate,
shall be such that the interest cost of the money received from the sale of
the bonds shall not exceed such maximum rate, computed to absolute
maturity, according to standard tables of bond values.
Notwithstanding the form or tenor thereof, and in the absence of
expressed recitals on the face thereof that the bonds are non-negotiable,
all such bonds shall be negotiable instruments.
To secure payment of any and all such bonds such ordinance shall set
forth the covenants and undertakings of the county in connection with the
issuance thereof, and the issuance of additional bonds payable from the
revenues or income to be derived from the operation of the waterworks
properties or sewage facilities, or waste management facilities, as the
case may be, as well as the use and operation thereof, and for the use and
disposition for waterworks, and sewerage, and waste management purposes of
investment earnings on funds and accounts created with respect to the revenue bonds.
In case any officer whose signature appears on the bond or coupons
attached thereto shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the
bonds to the purchaser, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes to the same effect as if he had remained in
office until the delivery of the bonds.
Under no circumstances shall any bonds issued or any other obligation,
except as set forth in Section 5-15003, incurred
pursuant to the provisions of this Division be or become an
indebtedness or an obligation of the county payable from taxes and shall
not in any event constitute an indebtedness of such county within the
meaning of the constitutional provisions or limitations, and such fact
shall be plainly stated on the face of each bond.
