 (from Ch. 34, par. 5-25010)Sec. 5-25010. Annual tax levy. The county board of any county which  has established and is maintaining a county or multiple-county health  department shall, when authorized as provided in Sections 5-25003 or  5-25004, levy annually therefor, in excess of the statutory limit, a tax of  not to exceed .1% of the value plus the additional tax, if applicable,  provided for in Section 5-23002, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, of  all taxable property of the county, which tax shall be levied and collected in  like manner as general county taxes and shall be paid (except as provided in  Section 5-25011) into the county treasury and held in the County Health Fund  and shall be used only for the purposes of this Division.  Where there is a county health department, the County Health Fund  shall be drawn upon by the proper officers of the county upon the  properly authenticated vouchers of the county health department. Where  there is a multiple-county health department, the County Health Fund  shall be drawn upon by the treasurer of the board of health of the  multiple-county health department. In counties maintaining single county  health departments, each county board shall appropriate from the County  Health Fund such sums of money as may be sufficient to fund the approved  budget of the county health department, so long as those sums have been set out  in the annual budget submitted to the county board by the county board  of health and that annual budget has been approved by the county board.  In counties with a population between 700,000 and 3,000,000, the county board  chairman has the power to veto or reduce any line item in the appropriation  ordinance for the county or multiple-county health  department as provided in Section 5-1014.5.  Each county board of counties participating in the maintenance of a  multiple-county health department shall appropriate from the County  Health Fund and shall authorize the county treasurer to release  quarterly or more often to the treasurer of the board of health of the  multiple-county health department such sums of money as are in  accordance with the budget submitted by the multiple-county board of  health and approved by the county board of each of the participating  counties as may be necessary to pay its agreed share for the maintenance  of the multiple-county health department. The treasurer of the board of  health of the multiple-county health department shall request by  voucher, quarterly or more often such sums of money from the county  treasurers of the respective member counties, and shall support such  requests with estimates of anticipated receipts and expenditures for the  period for which sums of money are requested and with statements of  receipts and expenditures for the preceding period. In addition, that  treasurer shall support the requests to the annual budget submitted by  the multiple-county public health board and approved by the county board  of each of the participating counties. No payment may be made from a  County Health Fund except on the basis of a budget item in a budget  submitted by the appropriate public health board and approved by the  county board or boards concerned; however, amended or supplemental  budgets may be submitted and approved and thereby be the basis for such  a payment.
