1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | changing Section 3.1-40-40 and by adding Section 3.1-40-65 as | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | (65 ILCS 5/3.1-40-40) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-40-40)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Sec. 3.1-40-40. Vote required. The passage of all | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | ordinances for
whatever purpose, and of
any resolution or | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | motion (i) to create any liability against a city , or (ii)
for | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | the expenditure or appropriation of its money , or (iii) for the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | expenditure of tax dollars on a charitable or non-profit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | organization shall require the
concurrence of a majority of all | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | members then holding office on the city
council, including the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | mayor, unless otherwise expressly provided by this
Code or any | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | other Act governing the passage of any ordinance, resolution,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | or motion. Where the council consists of an odd number of
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | aldermen, however, the vote of the majority of the aldermen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | shall be sufficient
to
pass an ordinance. The passage of an | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | ordinance, resolution, or motion to
sell any school property | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | shall require the concurrence of three-fourths of
all aldermen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | then holding office. The yeas and nays shall be taken upon the
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | question of the passage of the designated ordinances, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resolutions, or
motions and recorded in the journal of the city | ||||||
2 | council. In addition, the
corporate authorities at any meeting | ||||||
3 | may by unanimous consent take a single
vote by yeas and nays on | ||||||
4 | the several questions of the passage of any 2 or
more of the | ||||||
5 | designated ordinances, orders, resolutions, or motions placed
| ||||||
6 | together for voting purposes in a single group. The single vote | ||||||
7 | shall
be entered separately in the journal
under the | ||||||
8 | designation "omnibus vote", and in that event the clerk may | ||||||
9 | enter
the words "omnibus vote" or "consent agenda" in the | ||||||
10 | journal in each case
instead of entering
the names of the | ||||||
11 | members of city council voting "yea" and those voting
"nay" on | ||||||
12 | the passage of each of the designated ordinances, orders,
| ||||||
13 | resolutions, and motions included in the omnibus group or | ||||||
14 | consent agenda. The taking of a
single or omnibus vote and the | ||||||
15 | entries of the words "omnibus vote" or
"consent agenda" in the
| ||||||
16 | journal shall be a sufficient compliance with the requirements | ||||||
17 | of this
Section to all intents and purposes and with like | ||||||
18 | effect as if the vote in
each case had been taken separately by | ||||||
19 | yeas and nays on the question of the
passage of each ordinance, | ||||||
20 | order, resolution, and motion included in the
omnibus group and | ||||||
21 | separately recorded in the journal. Likewise, the yeas
and nays | ||||||
22 | shall be taken upon the question of the passage of any other
| ||||||
23 | resolution or motion at the request of any alderman and shall | ||||||
24 | be recorded
in the journal.
