Plaintiff LLC filed action against municipal defendants, seeking to invalidate an intergovernmental contract and some related ordinances. The contract governs annexations of territory to the Sanitary District new connections to the sewer lines of the Sanitary District. Plaintiff has not been deprived of a property interest or due process. Plaintiff has no protectable property interest in subdivision approval. Illinois statutory law explicitly authorizes the negotiation and execution of an annexation agreement between a landowner and a municipality.No provision of Illinois Municipal Code would necessarily be violated if a landlowner and a municipality agreed to subdivision approval in return for a municipal annexation. (KNECHT and TURNER, concurring.)
