| ||
(c) Instead of the number of aldermen set forth in | ||
subsection (a), a

or by resolution, not more than | ||
one year after the municipality's receipt of the new federal | ||
decennial census
results, the following number of aldermen: in | ||
cities exceeding 40,000 but
not exceeding 50,000, 16 aldermen.
| ||
(d) If, according to the most recent federal decennial | ||
census results, the population of a municipality increases | ||
under this Section, then the municipality may adopt an | ||
ordinance or resolution to retain the number of aldermen that | ||
existed before the most recent federal decennial census | ||
results. The ordinance or resolution may not be adopted more | ||
than one year after the municipality's receipt of the most | ||
