or pages to this Agreement which execute this Agreement on or before

bodies which subsequently become parties to this Agreement as pro-
vided in this Agreement). All parties to this Agreement are referred

WHEREAS, Article VII, Section 10 of the Constitution of
the State of Illinois authorizes units of local government and other
governmental bodies to contract and associate among themselves to
obtain or share services and to exercise, combine, or transfer any
power or function, in any manner not prohibited by law or ordinance;
and
WHEREAS, participating units of local government and govern-
mental bodies may use their credit, revenues, and other resources to
pay costs and to service debt related to intergovernmental activities; a
WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act- (Ill. Rev.
Stat. ch. 127, §271 et se!c.)also authorizes units of local government
and other governmental bodies to exercise and employ their powers,
privileges or authority jointly and to enter into joint contracts
for that purpose; and
J
WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act authorizes
administrative joint boards or other legal or administrative entities
to operate the joint or cooperative undertaking; and
WHEREAS, each of the Parties are located near O'Hare
International Airport, the world's busiest airfield; and
WHEREAS, air traffic to and from O'Hare International
Airport flies over the territory of the Parties at low altitudes; as
air traffic has increased through the years, the quality of life for
our citizens has been adversely affected by oppressive noise and
the discharge of pollutants from low flying aircraft; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chicago, proprietor of O'Hare Inter-
national Airport, has announced plans for the expansion of airport
facilities designed to accommodate much greater aircraft traffic;
and
WHEREAS, the Parties believe the effects of air traffic
on our citizens have been ignored, and will be ignored in the future,
unless the Parties join together and create through Intergovernmental
Agreement a continuing agency which will advocate the interests of
the citizens of all the Parties in the future growth and utilization
of O'Hare International Airport.
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES,
