(70 ILCS 605/10-10) (from Ch. 42, par. 10-10)
Sec. 10-10.
Dissolution-Subdistrict or minor subdistrict upon petition of
commissioners.
In addition to the method provided in Section 10-9, when the drainage
system of a subdistrict is of the same character, type or nature as any
part of the drainage system of the main district, the commissioners of the
subdistrict may petition the court to dissolve the subdistrict. Such
petition must show: (a) the reasons for dissolving the subdistrict; (b)
that there are no debts of the subdistrict outstanding or that there are
sufficient funds on hand or available to satisfy such debts; (c) that no
contract will be impaired by the dissolution of the subdistrict; and (d)
that the drainage system of the subdistrict is of the same character, type
or nature as some part of the drainage system of the main district. The
petition shall be signed by the commissioners and be verified by at least
one commissioner. Time for hearing of the petition shall be fixed and
notice thereof given as provided by Section 10-6.
At the hearing the court shall determine whether there is good reason
for dissolving the subdistrict and whether the allegations of the petition
are true. If the court finds for the petitioners it shall order dissolution
and the main district shall thereupon succeed to the drainage system, funds
and property of the dissolved subdistrict and be responsible for the
performance and fulfillment of the duties and obligations of the dissolved
subdistrict.
When the drainage system of a minor subdistrict is of the same
character, type or nature as any part of the drainage system of the
subdistrict in which it is located, the minor subdistrict may be dissolved
upon petition of the commissioners of the minor subdistrict in the same
manner and subject to the same conditions as is provided by this section
for the dissolution of a subdistrict. If a minor subdistrict is so
dissolved the subdistrict in which it is located shall thereupon succeed to
the drainage system, funds and property of the dissolved minor subdistrict
and be responsible for the performance and fulfillment of the duties and
obligations of the dissolved minor subdistrict.
