1 authorities, or by any committee or member thereof, and no
2 expense shall be incurred by any of the officers or departments
3 of any municipality, whether the object of the expenditure has
4 been ordered by the corporate authorities or not, unless an
5 appropriation has been previously made concerning that
6 contract or expense. Any contract made, or any expense
7 otherwise incurred, in violation of the provisions of this
8 section shall be null and void as to the municipality, and no
9 money belonging thereto shall be paid on account thereof.
10 However, pending the passage of the annual appropriation
11 ordinance for any fiscal year, the corporate authorities may
12 authorize heads of departments or other separate agencies of
13 the municipality to make necessary expenditures for the support
14 thereof upon the basis of the appropriations of the preceding
15 fiscal year. However, if it is determined by two-thirds vote of
16 the corporate authorities then holding office at a regularly
17 scheduled meeting of the corporate authorities that it is
18 expedient and in the best public interest to begin proceedings
19 for the construction of a needed public work, then the
20 provisions of this section shall not apply to the extent that
21 the corporate authorities may employ or contract for
22 professional services necessary for the planning and financing
23 of such public work.
24     (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Code to the
25 contrary, the corporate authorities of any municipality may
26 make contracts for a term exceeding one year and not exceeding

8 other professional consultants who require technical training
9 or knowledge; (3) the provision of data processing equipment
10 and services; or (4) the provision of services which directly
11 relate to the prevention, identification or eradication of
12 disease. In such case the corporate authorities shall include
13 in the annual appropriation ordinance for each fiscal year, an
14 appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to pay the amount
15 which, by the terms of the contract, is to become due and
16 payable during the current fiscal year.
17     (c) This section shall not apply to municipalities
18 operating under special charters.
19     (d) In order to promote orderly collective bargaining
20 relationships, to prevent labor strife and to protect the
21 interests of the public and the health and safety of the
22 citizens of Illinois, this Section shall not apply to
23 multi-year collective bargaining agreements between public
24 employers and exclusive representatives governed by the
25 provisions of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act.
26      Notwithstanding any provision of this Code to the
