There is a newer version of the Illinois Compiled Statutes
2005 Illinois 65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code. Division 100 - Parks in Cities of Less Than 15,000 Inhabitants
(65 ILCS 5/11‑100‑1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11‑100‑1)
Sec. 11‑100‑1.
Every city with a population not exceeding 15,000 has
the power to acquire by purchase, or otherwise, land in or within 4
miles of the corporate limits of the city for the purpose of providing
public parks for the use of the city's inhabitants. It may enclose,
improve, and maintain such a public park and regulate its use by
ordinance. However, no money shall be expended for the purchase of any
land for the designated purpose until the question whether the money
shall be so expended has been certified by the clerk and submitted to
a vote of the electors of the
city at an election in accordance with the general election law, and
has received the approval of a majority
of the votes cast on the question.
But any city whose electors have approved the question of the
expenditure of money for the purchase of land for the designated purpose
under "An Act to enable certain cities to provide and maintain public
parks for the use of the inhabitants thereof," approved April 24, 1899,
as amended, may continue to expend money for the designated purpose
without submitting the question to the electors for approval under
Sections 11‑100‑1 and 11‑100‑2.
