In all cases when any such street or streets or part or parts
thereof, taken as aforesaid by any board of park commissioners or park

park authorities, the said board of park commissioners or park authorities
shall certify to the board of local improvements or other local municipal
authorities of said city, town or village, the kind, character, quality and
description of such improvement of such street or streets or part or parts
thereof as such board of park commissioners or authorities propose to make
on said street or streets or part or parts thereof under their control and
which said board or authorities desire to have made on the said street or
streets or part or parts thereof in said city, town or village, the
territory of which is not taxed for the maintenance of said park
commissioners or authorities, and thereupon said board of local
improvements, or such other municipal authorities aforesaid, shall proceed
under the local improvement act or otherwise with the construction of
said proposed improvement according to law.
It shall be the duty of the board of park commissioners or park
authorities after the improvement of said street or streets, or parts
thereof, taken as aforesaid from such city, town or village, to make an
estimate of the amount of money required during the succeeding year for the
maintenance, repair, up-keep and government of said street or streets or
parts thereof in each city, town or village through which the said street
or streets, or part or parts thereof, may extend that does not lie within
the territory taxed for the maintenance of the board of park commissioners
or park authorities taking said street or streets, or part or parts
thereof, which estimate shall be made and certified to the local
authorities of such city, town or village on or before the first day of
September in each year. And it shall be the duty of the corporate
authorities of said city, town or village to meet on the first Wednesday of
October in each year and fix upon the amount of tax so certified to them by
said board of park commissioners, for the purpose aforesaid, and
immediately to certify to the county clerk in the county in which said
taxing body is located the amount to be raised by taxation for the purpose
aforesaid, in the respective city, town or village, and the county clerk
shall compute and extend the same as other general taxes, but such tax
shall be placed in a separate column headed "Driveway Maintenance Tax." The
taxes so levied and collected shall be paid to the said board of park
commissioners or park authorities upon their sole receipt to be expended by
them with the district for which the taxes are levied for the purpose of
such maintenance, repair, up-keep and government, and for none other.
The tax herein authorized to be levied shall not be subject to the
scaling process required by the provisions of the Act entitled "An Act
concerning the levy and extension of taxes," approved May 9, 1901, in force
July 1, 1901, and amendments thereto; and the "Driveway Maintenance Tax"
shall be in addition to the maximum of taxes permitted under Section 8-3-1
of the Illinois Municipal Code, as heretofore and hereafter amended,
and exclusive of all other taxes such municipality may levy or collect.
