(from Ch. 24, par. 7-1-5)
Sec. 7-1-5.
After the clerk receives the certified copy of the order of the
court, the corporate authorities of the annexing municipality shall proceed
to consider the question of the annexation of the described territory. A
majority vote of the corporate authorities then holding office is required
to annex. The vote shall be by "ayes" and "noes" entered on the legislative
records. Except as is otherwise provided in Section 7-1-1, this decision
shall be effective after the expiration of 30 days unless a referendum
on the question is ordered by the corporate authorities or unless a
petition for a referendum is filed. If no referendum is ordered by the
corporate authorities and no petition for a referendum is filed, the
municipal clerk shall, promptly after the expiration of the 30 days, send
written notice of the annexation by registered mail to the highway
commissioner of each road district within which the annexed
territory is described. If a municipal clerk fails to send any notice to a
highway commissioner as required by this Section, the municipality shall
reimburse the road district served by that highway commissioner for any
loss or liability caused by that failure.
