(A) As histories for the code sections, the specific number and passage date of the original ordinance, and amending ordinances, if any, are listed following the text of the code section. Example: (1977 Code, § 2-70) (Ord. 10, passed 5-13-1960; Am. Ord. 15, passed 1-1-1970; Am. Ord. 20, passed 1-1-1980; Am. Ord. 25, passed 1-1-1985)
(B) (1) If an ILCS cite is included in the history, this indicates that the text of the section reads substantially the same as the statute. Example:
§ 39.01 COMPOSITION.
The City Council shall consist of the Mayor and Aldermen. It shall meet in accordance with the Open Meetings Act, ILCS Ch. 5, Act 120, §§ 1 et seq. It shall keep a journal of its own proceedings.
(ILCS Ch. 65, Act 5, § 3.1-40-5) (Ord. 81-0, passed 1-17-1981)
(2) If an ILCS cite is set forth as a “statutory reference” following the text of the section, this indicates that the reader should refer to that statute for further information. Example:
§ 39.02 MAYOR PRESIDES.
The Mayor shall preside at meetings of the City Council.
