Illinois Statutes Chapter 55. Counties § 5/5-32062. Disposition of local improvement to public utility

§ 5-32062. In addition to any power to convey real or personal property granted under this Division or any other existing statutory authority, a county may lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of any local improvement made under this Division to any public utility whose rates are subject to regulation under the Public Utilities Act  1 and that will incorporate the local improvement into its existing plant and operations. The lease, sale, or other disposition shall be in accordance with a resolution adopted by the Committee setting forth the terms thereof including the consideration to be received by the county. The consideration may be the public utility's actual costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, engineering and inspection costs) incurred in incorporating the local improvement into the public utility's existing plant and operations provided that the lease, sale, or other disposition is made without fraud or collusion. The lease, sale, or other disposition shall not affect the levy of any special assessment, contract for work or public improvements, vouchers, or bonds undertaken or issued under this Division.
