(65 ILCS 5/9-3-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-3-3)
Sec. 9-3-3.
Whenever the corporate authorities of any municipality
deem it necessary to undertake any local improvement, within the
corporate limits, a resolution shall be adopted describing the public
property to be so improved. Such resolution shall also establish a
committee on local improvements consisting of the presiding officer of
the corporate authorities, an attorney and an engineer. Such resolution
shall direct the committee on local improvements to proceed in the
preparation of plans, specifications, estimate of cost, and an ordinance
for the improvement. Proceedings to make a local improvement also may be
instituted whenever the owners of more than one-half of the property
abutting on any street, avenue, lane, alley or other public place, or
portion thereof, petition the corporate authorities of any municipality
to make any local improvement within the corporate limits. If such
petition is presented the corporate authorities shall adopt a resolution
describing the public property to be so improved and directing the
committee on local improvements, consisting of the same membership as
described above in this section, to proceed in the preparation of plans,
specifications, estimate of cost and an ordinance for the improvement.
