(65 ILCS 5/2-2-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 2-2-4)
Sec. 2-2-4.
Any incorporated town or village having a population of not
less than 2,500 persons including 2,000 living in immobile dwellings, may
incorporate as a city in like manner as is provided in Sections 2-2-1
through 2-2-3. In all such cases, however, the President and Trustees of
the village or incorporated town, respectively, shall perform the same
duties relative to such change of organization as are required by Sections
2-2-1 through 2-2-3 to be performed by the Mayor or corporate authorities
of cities. The change of form of incorporation, if the vote is in favor
thereof, shall not take effect until city officers are elected and have
qualified as specified in Section 2-2-9. Until such time the presently
serving incorporated town or village officers shall continue to conduct the
affairs of the incorporated town or village in the usual manner.
The question whether an incorporated town or village shall incorporate
as a city under this Code shall not be presented more often than once in 4
years in such incorporated town or village.
