In the event the Village Board of Trustees in its sole discretion determines that it requires special assistance in order to insure a full and fair evaluation of any such proposed annexation agreements, the Village Board of Trustees may obtain such professional assistance from any qualified individual or association and may incur expenses in respect thereof. The Village Board of Trustees shall be reimbursed for any such expenditures for professional assistance by the individual, group or business entity seeking approval of a proposed annexation agreement, and any such individual, group or business entity shall, prior to being granted the first hearing, public or otherwise, before the Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals or corporate authorities, on their proposed annexation agreement, execute to the village a binding commitment to reimburse the village for all expenditures in any amount incurred by the village in obtaining such professional consultation and advice.
