(70 ILCS 605/3-15) (from Ch. 42, par. 3-15)
Sec. 3-15.
Report of temporary commissioners.
The temporary commissioners shall report in writing to the court on or
before the date fixed for the filing of their report. If they are not ready
to report by that date, they shall obtain a continuance to a day certain.
Successive continuances may be granted. In their report to the court, they
shall state (a) the general nature of the land in the proposed district,
(b) the drainage condition of the land, (c) the general nature and location
and the estimated cost of the drainage system they find to be best suited
for the land in the proposed district, (d) a description of any land in
addition to that described in the petition which will be benefited by the
proposed work and which, they find, should be included in the proposed
district, and a description of any land described in the petition which
will not be benefited by the proposed work and which, they find, should not
be included in the proposed district; provided, however, that the proposed
district shall not be so enlarged or contracted that the petitioners no
longer meet the proportional requirements of Section 3-3, (e) whether any
land lying outside of the proposed district, but within another drainage
district or a municipal corporation exercising drainage powers, will be
benefited, and, if so, a general description of the same, (f) whether any
land lying outside the proposed district, but not to be included in the
proposed district and not within another drainage district or municipal
corporation exercising drainage powers, will be benefited, and, if so, a
general description of the same, and (g) whether the benefits to the land
in the proposed district will exceed the probable cost to that land of
organizing the district and constructing such work. If an engineer was
employed, then the report of the engineer shall be attached to and made a
part of the temporary commissioners' report. If the temporary commissioners
find that the benefits to the land in the proposed district will not exceed
the probable cost to that land, then they shall recommend that the district
not be organized. If they find that the benefits to the land in the
proposed district will exceed the probable cost to that land, then they
shall recommend that the district be organized and shall include in their
report, in addition to the information above specified, (a) a complete
description of the system of drainage which they recommend, (b) the
estimated cost of that system, including all incidental expenses, (c) the
estimated annual cost of repair, maintenance and operation of the system,
and (d) the name of any other drainage district or any municipal
corporation exercising drainage powers which includes land lying outside of
the proposed district which will be benefited by the proposed work.
