(65 ILCS 5/11-130-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-130-12)
Sec. 11-130-12. Whenever all of the holders of unpaid water revenue certificates of a particular issue, which were issued prior to July 8, 1927, to pay the cost of constructing waterworks and are payable from the revenue thereof, offer in writing to exchange the certificates for refunding revenue bonds to be issued under this Division 130, the corporate authorities shall receive the certificates, and if found to be properly executed, may adopt an ordinance incorporating therein the offer of the certificate holders. This ordinance shall set forth the determined value of the waterworks as it then exists, the value of as much of the waterworks as was paid for by the issue of certificates, the unpaid portion of which are proposed to be refunded, and the details in connection with the issuance of the refunding revenue bonds in the same manner as is provided for in this Division 130. The ordinance also shall fix the minimum rates to be charged for water and pledge that revenue, if and when the refunding revenue bonds are issued, to pay these refunding revenue bonds. The revenue shall be applied as provided in this Division 130 and particularly in Sections 11-130-8 and 11-130-9.
The amount of the refunding revenue bonds shall not exceed and may be less than the par amount of the certificates to be surrendered and shall not exceed and may be less than the determined value of so much of the waterworks as was paid for by that issue of certificates, less the amount of certificates paid. The ordinance shall be published, or posted, together with a notice of a hearing thereon, and a hearing shall be had thereon, in the same manner as is provided in this Division 130. After such a hearing the refunding revenue bonds specified in the offer may be issued, or a less amount thereof may be issued with the consent of the certificate holders, or the ordinance may be repealed, as the corporate authorities shall determine. If the refunding revenue bonds are issued, the certificates shall be surrendered and cancelled simultaneously therewith. Refunding revenue bonds issued under this Division 130 shall be payable only out of revenue derived from the waterworks as provided in the ordinance and according to the terms of this Division 130. Holders of refunding revenue bonds issued under this Division 130 have rights similar to those of holders of revenue bonds issued under this Division 130, including the power to apply for a receiver to operate the waterworks. The municipality is under the same obligations to the refunding bondholders as it is to holders of revenue bonds issued under this Division 130.
