Sec. 15-10.         Disconnection of territory from township; annexation to  adjacent township.  Until the effective date of this amendatory Act of  1997,  whenever a township is organized under this Article and any  of the territory of the city not more than one-half square mile in extent and  containing not more than 50 inhabitants is disconnected from the city,  the  county board may, by resolution, upon receiving a certified copy of the  resolution or ordinance of the city disconnecting the territory and after a  public hearing on the matter following notice given as provided in Section  15-5, disconnect the territory from the township and annex it to an adjacent  township or townships.Whenever a township is organized under this Article and any of the  territory of the city is, after the effective date of this  amendatory Act of 1997, disconnected from the city by court order or ordinance,  the territory  shall automatically be disconnected from the otherwise coterminous township and  connected to the adjacent township, and the transfer of the territory shall not  affect the city's status as a city with a coterminous township.  If disconnection is pursuant to court order, the petitioning party in the  cause shall, within 30 days of the entry of an order permitting disconnection,  serve a copy of the order upon the coterminous township, the adjacent  township, and the county clerk by certified mail, return receipt requested, and  shall file proof of the service with the circuit clerk.  Upon objection by  either the coterminous township or the adjacent township within 180 days after  the enactment of the ordinance or after service of the court order,  the county board may, after receiving a certified copy of  the court order or ordinance and after a public hearing on the matter following  notice given as provided in Section 15-5, pass an ordinance annulling the  automatic disconnection of territory from the coterminous township.  The action  by the county board shall not affect the disconnection of territory from the  city, but shall cause the territory to remain in the coterminous township.  The  annulling by the county board of the automatic disconnection of territory from  the coterminous township shall not affect the city's status as a city with a  coterminous township.

Sec. 15-15.     Annexation of territory by coterminous city; referendum.(a) Whenever a city that is coterminous with a township has voted to annex  any territory in an adjacent township, the city clerk shall, by registered or  certified mail, file a certified copy of the annexation ordinance with the  clerk of the township in which the proposed disconnection is to take place.  Except as otherwise provided in this Article, if, within 45 days after the date  of mailing notification, the township board of the township from which the  territory is to be disconnected determines by a majority vote of those board  members then holding office that the disconnection would not be in the best  interests of that township, the board may request that a referendum approving  or disapproving the disconnection be  held in that township.  The city, its  coterminous township, and the adjacent township may, however, agree by  intergovernmental agreement and without the necessity of a referendum that the  territory shall remain part of the adjacent township and shall not become part  of the township that is coterminous with the municipality.(b) The township clerk of the adjacent township shall, within 30 days after  the vote of the township board of the adjacent township, certify the  proposition to disconnect the territory from the adjacent township to the  proper election officials and the city clerk of the annexing city.  The  election officials shall submit the proposition to the voters of the township  requesting the referendum at an election in accordance with the general  election law.  The proportionate cost of the election shall be borne by the  township requesting the election.(c) The proposition shall be substantially in the following form:Shall (name of township) include the following     described territory that is presently included in (name of township)? (Insert description of territory.)    The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".(d) If a majority of those voting on the proposition in the township vote in  favor thereof, the territory shall be disconnected from the adjacent  township and connected to the township that is coterminous with the city.  Only upon that connection shall any debts and liabilities of the  territory be taken over by the coterminous township.(e) If a majority of those voting on the proposition do not vote in favor of  it, the territory shall remain with the adjacent township.  If, however, at any  time after a majority of those voting do not vote in favor of the proposition,  the township board of the township in which the proposed disconnection was to  take place determines that the disconnection would be in the best interest of  that township, the board may request that another referendum approving or  disapproving that same disconnection be held in that township.  The referendum  shall be conducted in accordance with the general election law.    (Source: P.A. 86-1299; 87-1197; 88-62.)
