This handbook, part of a series that has been an IICLE® library staple for over 40 years, provides current guidance on the issues municipalities routinely face, including questions involving labor law, contracts, construction, litigation, civil rights liability, Illinois tort immunity, and home rule in light of population increases. This essential reference also includes editable forms you can adapt for use in your municipal clients’ individual matters, including an Intergovernmental Agreement for Police and Fire Protection Assistance and an Agreement for Fire Protection Services.
