Sec. 39.
Alternative special assessment procedure.
As an alternative to using the procedure prescribed by
Division 2 of Article 9 of the
Illinois Municipal Code, as now or hereafter amended, for making local
improvements by special assessment or special taxation as
provided in Section 28 of this Act, any sanitary district
organized under this Act shall have the power
to make local improvements by special assessment or special
taxation in accordance with the procedure set forth in
Sections 39 through 93 of this Act. The use of this
alternative procedure is not mandatory, but shall be at the
sole discretion of the board of trustees of the
district. The procedure under the Illinois Municipal Code and the procedure
under this Act shall not be combined, and the provisions of
the Illinois Municipal Code shall not be applicable to any such alternative
proceeding under this Act, except that the procedure under
this Act may be used in conjunction with the following provisions of the
Illinois Municipal Code, as now or hereafter amended: Sections
9-2-3, 9-2-4, 9-2-9, 9-2-12, 9-2-45, 9-2-47,
9-2-74 and 9-2-113 relating to federal grants,
federal defense projects and governmental aid and assistance,
Sections 9-2-14 through 9-2-37 and 9-2-49 through 9-2-51
relating to the taking of property, Sections
9-2-66 through 9-2-71 relating to liens, Sections 9-2-81
through 9-2-98 relating to the collection of special
assessments and Sections 9-2-120 through 9-2-137 relating
to bonds. When such procedures are combined the committee
of local improvements created under this Act may perform all
acts to be performed by the board of local improvements
under the Illinois Municipal Code.
