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.

MUNICIPALITIES
(65 ILCS 5/) Illinois Municipal Code.

65 ILCS 5/11-103-13

    (65 ILCS 5/11-103-13) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-103-13)
    Sec. 11-103-13. 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 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 5/11-103-14

    (65 ILCS 5/11-103-14) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-103-14)
    Sec. 11-103-14. 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.
