(d) 1. A Municipal Joint Action Agency may, from time to time, borrow
money, and, in evidence of its obligation to repay the borrowing, issue its
negotiable revenue bonds or notes for any of its corporate purposes,
including, but not limited to, the following: for paying costs of planning,
constructing, reconstructing, acquiring, owning, leasing, equipping,
improving, closing or extending a waste project and implementing a re-use
of the waste project; for paying other expenses
incident to or incurred in connection with such project; for repaying advances
made to or by the Agency for such purposes; for paying interest on the bonds
or notes until the estimated date of completion of any such project and
for such period after the estimated completion date as the Board of Directors
of the Agency shall determine; for paying financial, legal, administrative
and other expenses of the authorization, issuance, sale or delivery of bonds
or notes; for paying costs of insuring payment of or other credit
enhancement of the bonds or notes; for providing or increasing a debt
service reserve fund with respect to any or all of the Agency's bonds or
notes; for creation of reserves for the planning, constructing,
reconstructing, acquiring, leasing, managing, equipping, extending,
insuring, improving or closing of waste projects; and for paying, refunding
or redeeming any of the Agency's bonds or notes before, after or at their
maturity, including paying redemption premiums or interest accruing or to
accrue on such bonds or notes being paid or redeemed or for paying any
other costs in connection with any such payment or redemption.

2. Any bonds or notes issued pursuant to this paragraph (d) by a
Municipal Joint Action Agency shall be authorized by a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Agency adopted by the affirmative vote of
a majority of the Directors and in compliance with any additional
requirements as may be set
forth in the agreement establishing the Agency.  The authorizing resolution
may be effective immediately upon its adoption.  The authorizing resolution
shall describe in a general way any waste project contemplated to be
financed by the bonds or notes, shall set forth the estimated cost of the
waste project and shall determine its period of usefulness.  The
authorizing resolution shall determine the maturity or maturities of the
bonds or notes, the denominations, the rate or rates at which the bonds or
notes are to bear interest and all the other terms and details of the bonds
or notes.  The bonds or notes may be issued as serial bonds payable in
installments or as term bonds with or without sinking fund installments or
a combination thereof.  All such bonds or notes shall mature within the
period of estimated usefulness of the project with respect to which such
bonds or notes are issued, as determined by the Board of Directors, but in
any event not more than 50 years from their date of issue.  The bonds and
notes may bear interest at such rate or rates as the resolution shall
provide, notwithstanding any other provision of law, and shall be payable
at such times as determined by the authorizing resolution.  Bonds or notes
of a Municipal Joint Action Agency shall be sold in such manner as the
Board of Directors of the Agency shall determine, either at par or at a
premium or discount.

3. In connection with the issuance of its bonds or notes, the Municipal
Joint Action Agency may enter into arrangements to provide additional
security and liquidity for its obligations.  These may include, without
limitation, municipal bond insurance, letters of credit, lines of credit by
which the Municipal Joint Action Agency may borrow funds to pay or redeem
its obligations and purchase or remarketing arrangements for assuring the
ability of owners of the obligations to sell or to have redeemed
the obligations.  The Municipal Joint Action Agency may enter into
contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such arrangements,
including from bond or note proceeds.

The resolution of the Municipal Joint Action Agency authorizing the
issuance of its bonds or notes may provide that interest rates may vary
from time to time depending upon criteria set forth in the resolution,
which may include, without limitation, a variation of interest rates as may
be necessary to cause bonds or notes to be remarketable from time to time
at a price equal to their principal amount, and may provide for appointment
of a national banking association, bank, trust company, investment banker
or other financial institution to serve as a remarketing agent in that
connection.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the resolution of
the Municipal Joint Action Agency
authorizing the issuance of its bonds or notes may provide that alternative
interest rates or provisions will apply during such times as the bonds or
notes are held by a person providing a letter of credit or other credit
enhancement arrangement for those bonds or notes.

4. The resolution authorizing the issuance of any bonds or notes pursuant
to this paragraph (d) shall constitute a contract with the holders of the
bonds and notes.  The resolution may contain such covenants and
restrictions with respect to the waste project and the contracts with
respect to such waste
project, the issuance of additional bonds or notes by the Agency, the
security for the bonds and notes, and any other matters as may be deemed
necessary or advisable by the Board of Directors to assure the payment of
the bonds or notes of the Agency.

5. The resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds or notes by a
Municipal Joint Action Agency established pursuant to this Section 3.2
shall pledge and provide for the application of revenues derived from the
operation of the Agency's waste projects, revenues received from its
members (including from contracts for the use of the Agency's waste
projects) and revenues from its investment earnings to the payment of the
operating expenses of the waste projects, to provision of adequate
depreciation, reserve or replacement funds with respect to the waste
project, planned waste projects, or the bonds or notes,
and to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds
or notes of the Agency (including amounts for the purchase of such bonds or
notes).  The resolution may provide that revenues of the Municipal Joint
Action Agency so derived
and other receipts of the Agency which may be applied
to such purposes shall be set aside as
collected in a separate fund or funds and used for such purposes.  The
resolution may provide that revenues not required for such purposes may be
used for any proper purpose of the Agency or may be returned to members.

Any notes of a Municipal Joint Action Agency may, in addition, be secured
by a pledge of proceeds of bonds to be issued by the Agency, as specified
in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such notes.

6. All bonds and notes of the Municipal Joint Action Agency issued
pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be revenue bonds or notes.  Such bonds
or notes shall have no claim for payment other than from revenues of the
Agency derived from the operation of its waste projects, from revenues
received from its members (including from contracts for the use of the
Agency's waste projects), from bond or note proceeds, from such
other receipts of the Agency as the agreement establishing the Agency may
authorize to be pledged to the payment of bonds or notes, and from
investment earnings on the foregoing, all as and to the
extent as provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing
the issuance of the bonds or notes.  Bonds or notes issued by a Municipal
Joint Action Agency pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall not constitute an
indebtedness of the Agency or of any member within the meaning
of any constitutional or statutory limitation.  It shall be plainly stated
on each bond and note that it does not constitute an indebtedness of the
Municipal Joint Action Agency or of any member within the
meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation.

7. As long as any bonds or notes of a Municipal Joint Action Agency
created pursuant to this Section 3.2 are outstanding and unpaid, the Agency
shall not terminate or dissolve and, except as permitted by the resolution
or resolutions authorizing outstanding bonds or notes, no member
may withdraw from the Agency.  The Agency shall establish fees
and charges for its operations sufficient to provide adequate revenues to
meet all of the requirements under its various resolutions authorizing bonds
or notes.

8. A holder of any bond or note issued pursuant to this paragraph (d)
may, in any civil action, mandamus or other proceeding, enforce and compel
performance of all duties required to be performed by the Agency, as
provided in the authorizing resolution, or by any of the members or other
persons contracting with the Agency to use the Agency's waste projects,
including the imposition of fees and charges, the collection of sufficient
revenues and the proper application of revenues as provided in this paragraph (d).

9. In addition, the resolution authorizing any bonds or notes issued
pursuant to this paragraph (d) may provide for a pledge, assignment, lien
or security interest, for the benefit of the holders of any or all bonds or
notes of the Agency, (i) on any and all revenues derived from the operation
of the Agency's waste projects (including from contracts for the use of the
Agency's waste projects) and investment earnings thereon, (ii) on any and
all revenues received from its members, or (iii) on funds or accounts
securing the payment of the bonds or notes as provided in the authorizing
resolution.  In addition, such a pledge, assignment, lien or security
interest may be made with respect to any receipts of the Agency which the
agreement establishing the Agency authorizes it to apply to payment of
bonds or notes.  Any such pledge, assignment, lien or security interest for
the benefit of holders of bonds or notes shall be valid and binding from
the time the bonds or notes are issued, without any physical delivery or
further act, and shall be valid and binding against or prior to any claims
of any other party having any claims of any kind against the Agency
irrespective of whether such other parties have notice of such pledge,
assignment, lien or security interest.

A resolution of a Municipal Joint Action Agency authorizing the issuance
of bonds or notes pursuant to this paragraph (d) may provide for the
appointment of a corporate trustee with respect to any or all of such bonds
or notes (which trustee may be any trust company or state or national bank
having the power of a trust company within Illinois).  In that event, the
resolution shall prescribe the rights, duties and powers of the trustee to
be exercised for the benefit of the Agency and the protection of the
holders of such bonds or notes.  The resolution may provide for the trustee
to hold in trust, invest and use amounts in funds and accounts created as
provided in the resolution.  The resolution authorizing the bonds or notes
may provide for the assignment and direct payment to the trustee of amounts
owed by members and other persons to the Municipal Joint Action Agency
under contracts for the use of or access to the Agency's waste projects for
application by the trustee to the purposes for which such revenues are to
be used as provided in this paragraph (d) and as provided in the
authorizing resolution.  Upon receipt of notice of such assignment, the
member or other person shall thereafter make the assigned payments directly
to such trustee.

(e) A Municipal Joint Action Agency established pursuant to this
Section 3.2 and any of its members shall each have the power to enter into
contracts with any person, corporation or public agency, including any
other member and the Municipal Joint Action Agency, with respect to a waste
project.  Any such contract may permit the contracting party to make use of
the waste project and pay such fees and charges as may be established.  Any
member so contracting to use a waste project shall establish such fees and
charges for the collection, transportation, processing, storage and disposal
of municipal waste as are necessary to produce revenues sufficient to pay its
obligations to the Agency under the contract to use the waste project;
provided, however, that the member may satisfy its obligation to make
payments under the contract from any funds of the member otherwise
available for such purpose.  Any contract between the Agency and its
members with respect to a waste project shall not constitute an
indebtedness of such members within any statutory or constitutional
limitation.  Any such contract shall be a continuing, valid and binding
obligation of such member payable from the fees and charges it imposes for
collection, transportation, processing, storage and disposal of
municipal waste.  Any such contract between the Agency and its members may
contain provisions whereby the contracting parties are obligated to pay for
all or a portion of the waste project without setoff or counterclaim and
irrespective of whether the waste project is
ever completed, made available or provided to the contracting party and
notwithstanding any suspension, interruption, interference, reduction or
curtailment of such waste project.  Any such contract may provide that if
one or more of the other parties to the contract defaults in the payments
of its obligations under such contract or a similar contract made with
respect to the waste project, one or more of the remaining parties to such
contract or similar contract shall be required to pay for all or a portion
of the obligation of the defaulting purchasers.  No contract entered into
under this subparagraph (e) shall have a term in excess of 50 years.  No
prior appropriation shall be required by either the Municipal Joint Action
Agency or any member before entering into any contract under this
subparagraph (e).

(f) A Municipal Joint Action Agency established pursuant to this Section
3.2 and its members shall have the power to enter into contracts for a term
not exceeding 50 years relating to the collection, transportation,
processing, storage and disposal of municipal waste.  Parties to the
contract shall have the power to agree to provide by ordinance, license,
franchise, contract or other means that the method of collection,
transportation, processing, storage and disposal of municipal waste shall be
the exclusive methods to be allowed within their respective jurisdiction,
notwithstanding the fact that competition may be displaced or that such
ordinance, license, franchise, contract or other means may have an
anticompetitive effect. Such contract may require the parties by ordinance,
license, contract or other means to require that all or any portion of the
municipal waste generated within the jurisdiction of the contracting party
be delivered to a waste project designated by the parties.  Such ordinance,
license, franchise, contract or other means may be utilized by the
contracting party to insure a constant flow of municipal waste to the
facility notwithstanding the fact that competition may be displaced or that
such measures have an anticompetitive effect.

(g) Members may, for the purposes of, and upon request by
the Municipal Joint Action Agency, exercise the power of eminent domain
available to them and convey the property so acquired to the Agency for the
cost of acquisition and all expenses related thereto.

(h) A member may enter into an agreement with the Municipal Joint Action
Agency obligating the member to make payments to the Municipal Joint Action
Agency in order to finance the costs of planning, acquisition and
construction of a waste project.  A Municipal Joint Action Agency
established pursuant to this Section 3.2 may agree to reimburse its members
from proceeds of any borrowing for costs of the member with respect to
planning, acquisition and construction of an Agency waste project.

(i) Property, income and receipts of or transactions by a Municipal Joint
Action Agency created pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be exempt from all
taxation, the same as if it were the property, income of or transaction by
a municipality or county member.

(j) The following terms whenever used or referred to in this Section 3.2
shall have the following meanings, except where the context clearly
indicates otherwise:

(1) "Municipal waste" means garbage, general household,
institutional and commercial waste, industrial lunchroom or office
waste, landscape waste, and construction or demolition debris.

(2) "Waste project" means land, any rights therein and improvements
thereto, one or more buildings, structures or other improvements,
machinery, equipment, vehicles and other facilities incidental to the
foregoing, used in the collection, transportation, transfer, storage,
disposal, processing, treatment, recovery and re-use of municipal waste.  A
waste project shall include land held for a planned waste project or used
to buffer a waste project from adjacent land uses.

(3) "Bonds or notes" includes other evidences of indebtedness.
