Sec. 23.4.
Any territory which is not within the corporate limits of any
sanitary district but which is contiguous to a sanitary district and which
territory has no electors residing therein; or any such territory with
electors residing thereon; may be annexed to the sanitary district in the
following manner: a written petition signed by the owners of record of all
land within such territory, or if such territory is occupied, by the owners
of record and by all electors residing thereon, shall be filed with the
clerk of the sanitary district, which petition shall request annexation and
shall state that no electors reside thereon (or that all such electors
residing thereon join in the petition, whichever shall be the case) and
shall be under oath. The board of trustees of the sanitary district to
which annexation is sought shall then consider the question of the
annexation of the described territory. A two-thirds vote of the board of
trustees is required to annex. A copy of the ordinance annexing the
territory together with an accurate map of the annexed territory, certified
as correct by the Clerk of the District, shall be filed with the County
Clerk of the county in which the annexed territory is located.
