10 be in any manner interested, either directly or indirectly,
11 in his own name or in the name of any other person,
12 association, trust, or corporation, in any contract or the

20 either directly or indirectly, any money or other thing of
21 value as a gift or bribe or means of influencing his vote or
22 action in his official character. Any contract made and

3 governing body of the municipality has less than a 7 1/2%
4 share in the ownership; and
5 B. such interested member publicly discloses the
6 nature and extent of his interest prior to or during
7 deliberations concerning the proposed award of the
8 contract; and
9 C. such interested member abstains from voting on
10 the award of the contract, though he shall be considered
11 present for the purposes of establishing a quorum; and
12 D. such contract is approved by a majority vote of
13 those members presently holding office; and
14 E. the contract is awarded after sealed bids to the
15 lowest responsible bidder if the amount of the contract
16 exceeds $1500, or awarded without bidding if the amount
17 of the contract is less than $1500; and
18 F. the award of the contract would not cause the
19 aggregate amount of all such contracts so awarded to the
20 same person, firm, association, partnership, corporation,
21 or cooperative association in the same fiscal year to
22 exceed $25,000.
23 (c) In addition to the above exemption, any elected or
24 appointed member of the governing body may provide materials,

28 provided that any such interested member shall abstain
29 from voting; and
30 B. the amount of the contract does not exceed
31 $2,000; and
32 C. the award of the contract would not cause the
33 aggregate amount of all such contracts so awarded to the

1 or cooperative association in the same fiscal year to
2 exceed $4,000; and
3 D. such interested member publicly discloses the

9 present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.
10 (d) A contract for the procurement of public utility
11 services by a public entity with a public utility company is
12 not barred by this Section by one or more members of the
13 governing body of the public entity being an officer or
14 employee of the public utility company or holding an
15 ownership interest of no more than 7 1/2% in the public
16 utility company, or holding an ownership interest of any size
17 if the public entity is a municipality with a population of
18 less than 7,500 and the public utility's rates are approved
19 by the Illinois Commerce Commission. An elected or appointed
20 member of the governing body of the public entity having such
21 an interest shall be deemed not to have a prohibited interest
22 under this Section.
23 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
24 or any other law to the contrary, until January 1, 1994, a
25 member of the city council of a municipality with a
26 population under 20,000 may purchase real estate from the
27 municipality, at a price of not less than 100% of the value
28 of the real estate as determined by a written MAI certified
29 appraisal or by a written certified appraisal of a State
30 certified or licensed real estate appraiser, if the purchase

4 deposit and financial service with local banks and savings
5 and loan associations. Nothing contained in this Act,
6 including the restrictions set forth in subsections (b), (c),

10 State university, or a police or firefighter's pension fund
11 established under Article 3 or 4 of the Illinois Pension Code

14 body of the unit (including any director serving on a
15 hospital district board as provided under subsection (a-5) of
16 Section 13 of the Hospital District Law) are interested in
17 the bank or savings and loan association as a director, an
18 officer, employee, or holder of less than 7 1/2% of the total
19 ownership interest. A member or members holding such an
20 interest in such a contract shall not be deemed to be holding

22 interested member or members of the governing body must
23 publicly state the nature and extent of their interest during
24 deliberations concerning the proposed award of such a
25 contract, but shall not participate in any further
26 deliberations concerning the proposed award. The interested

29 deliberations and voting under this Section may be considered
30 present for purposes of establishing a quorum. Award of such
31 a contract shall require approval by a majority vote of those
32 members presently holding office. Consideration and award of
33 any such contract in which a member or members are interested
-5- LRB9002102PTcw

20 may be disqualified, guilty of misconduct or malfeasance in
21 office or unwilling or unable to act, the appointing

25 given a hearing by the circuit court and, after such hearing,
26 if the circuit court finds such a charge should be sustained,

28 vacancy shall thereupon exist for the unexpired term of such
