The meeting was called to order at 7:05 pm by Anne Lucietto, Yorkville Plan Commission
Chairman She welcomed all in attendance.
Ms. Lucietto introduced the speaker, Kathleen Elliot, a attorney and partner at Tressler,
Soderstrom, Maloney, & Priess,LLP. Ms. Elliot shared with the members that state statute,
65ILCS 5/11-12-9, that addresses unincorporated territory, and the manner in which
jurisdictional boundary lines are agreed upon The initial term of such an agreement may not
exceed 20 years.
This section was amended in 1987, stating that the purposes and matters of annexing property are
distinct from the planning. The Court in 1987 held that when an intergovernmental agreement
establishes an annexation boundary line,that a landowner who wishes to annex on the opposite
side of the line cannot do so.
Some topics for consideration when establishing a boundary agreements are: 1)public
improvements; 2) recapture agreements; 3) whether public services may cross boundary lines; 4)
extraterritorial applicability of ordinances; 5) current boundary lines; and 6) terms of the
agreement and if the agreement can be amended.
Questions asked were 1) who would receive tax revenue if materials are hauled from a mine in
the county; 2) if a city was under any obligation to have a boundary agreement; and 3) if state
property(ex. state park) can be `jumped over' when considering a review.
The next meeting date and topic is under discussion,
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 P.M..
