7     (65 ILCS 5/11-19-1)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-19-1)
8     Sec. 11-19-1. Contracts.
9     (a) Any city, village or incorporated town may make
10 contracts with any other city, village, or incorporated town or
11 with any person, corporation, or county, or any agency created
12 by intergovernmental agreement, for more than one year and not
13 exceeding 30 years relating to the collection and final

09600SB3692sam003 - 2 - LRB096 14101 RLJ 39103 a

1 facility for the disposal, treatment or recycling of solid
2 waste, and may enter into contracts with private firms or local
3 governments for the delivery of waste to such facility. In
4 regard to a contract involving a garbage, refuse, or garbage
5 and refuse incineration facility, the 30 year contract
6 limitation imposed by this Section shall be computed so that
7 the 30 years shall not begin to run until the date on which the
8 facility actually begins accepting garbage or refuse. The
9 payments required in regard to any contract entered into under
10 this Division 19 shall not be regarded as indebtedness of the
11 city, village, or incorporated town, as the case may be, for
12 the purpose of any debt limitation imposed by any law.
13     (b) If a municipality with a population of less than
14 1,000,000 has never awarded a franchise to a private entity for
15 the collection of waste from non-residential locations, then
16 that municipality may not award such a franchise without
17 issuing a request for proposal. The municipality may not issue
18 a request for proposal without first: (i) holding at least one
19 public hearing seeking comment on the advisability of issuing a
20 request for proposal and awarding such a franchise; (ii)
21 providing at least 30 days' written notice of the hearing,
22 delivered by first class mail to all private entities that
23 provide non-residential waste collection services within the
24 municipality that the municipality is able to identify through
25 its records; and (iii) providing at least 30 days' public
26 notice of the hearing.

4 holding at least one public hearing after the receipt of
5 proposals on whether to award a franchise to a proposed
6 franchisee; and (iii) providing at least 30 days' public notice
7 of the hearing. At the public hearing, the municipality must
8 disclose and discuss the proposed franchise fee or calculation
9 formula of such franchise fee that it will receive under the
10 proposed franchise.
11     (b-5) If no request for proposal is issued within 120 days
12 after the initial public hearing required in subsection (b),
13 then the municipality must hold another hearing as outlined in
14 subsection (b).
15     (b-10) If a municipality has not awarded a franchise within
16 210 days after the date that a request for proposal is issued
17 pursuant to subsection (b), then the municipality must adhere
18 to all of the requirements set forth in subsections (b) and
19 (b-5).
20     (b-15) The franchise fee and any other fees, taxes, or
21 charges imposed by the municipality in connection with a
22 franchise for the collection of waste from non-residential
23 locations must be used exclusively for costs associated with
24 administering the franchise program.
25     (c) If a municipality with a population of less than
26 1,000,000 has never awarded a franchise to a private entity for

 

 

09600SB3692sam003 - 4 - LRB096 14101 RLJ 39103 a

1 the collection of waste from non-residential locations, then a
2 private entity may not begin providing waste collection
3 services to non-residential locations under a franchise
4 agreement with that municipality at any time before the date
5 that is 15 months after the date the ordinance or resolution
6 approving the award of the franchise is adopted.
7     (d) For purposes of this Section, "waste" means garbage,
8 refuse, or ashes as defined in Section 11-19-2.
9     (e) A home rule unit may not award a franchise to a private
10 entity for the collection of waste in a manner contrary to the
11 provisions of this Section. This Section is a limitation under
