(65 ILCS 5/11-63-10) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-63-10)
Sec. 11-63-10.
Subject to the rules of the corporate authorities, or the
board to which the management has been delegated, each community building
and its facilities shall be available for the use and benefit of the
municipal inhabitants for recreational and educational purposes. Such
corporate authorities or board may charge reasonable admission or use fees
and may permit the use of a community building and its facilities
temporarily, for any reasonable and legitimate private use, on such terms
as may be reasonable and proper. When 50% or more of the cost of the
building has been paid for from donations or legacies for the
purpose of paying part of the cost of the building or all the cost, the use
of the building shall be free and no admission or use fees shall be
charged, and the words "reasonable and legitimate" as used in the prior
portion of this section shall not authorize a use permit for a valuable
consideration. No private use shall be permitted which unduly restricts the
public use of the building and its facilities. Private permittees may
charge admission fees, except where 50% or more of the cost of the building
has been paid for from donations or legacies
for the purpose of
paying part of or all of the cost of the building.
