22 or in part, by the passage of an ordinance to that effect
23 after notice is given as provided in this Section. If
24 unincorporated territory containing 60 or fewer acres is

26 municipalities have entered into a boundary line agreement
27 concerning the unincorporated territory, then any of the
28 municipalities may annex that part of the unincorporated

31 to that effect after notice is given as provided in this
-2- LRB9111123MWpc
1 Section. The corporate authorities shall cause notice,
2 stating that annexation of the territory described in the
3 notice is contemplated under this Section, to be published
4 once, in a newspaper of general circulation within the
5 territory to be annexed, not less than 10 days before the
6 passage of the annexation ordinance. When the territory to
7 be annexed lies wholly or partially within a township other
8 than that township where the municipality is situated, the
9 annexing municipality shall give at least 10 days prior
10 written notice of the time and place of the passage of the
11 annexation ordinance to the township supervisor of the

20 of a forest preserve district in a county with a population
21 of 3,000,000 or more without obtaining the consent of the
22 district pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Cook County Forest
