Article 6 - Streets, Sidewalks and Public Grounds
6-610 - Dedication of Streets.

§ 6-610 Dedication of streets. An owner of land in a village who has
laid out a street thereon may dedicate such street, or any part thereof,
or an easement therein, to the village for a public street, or an owner
may dedicate for such purpose land not laid out as a street. Upon an
offer in writing by the owner to make such a dedication, the board of
trustees may, by resolution, determine to accept a dedication of the
whole or any part of the land described in such offer or the whole or
any part of such street, to be described in such resolution. Upon the
adoption of such a resolution the owner may execute and deliver to the
village clerk a proper conveyance of the land to be dedicated. The board
of trustees may by resolution, accept the conveyance, and the
conveyance, shall thereupon be recorded in the office of the county
clerk. Upon the acceptance of the conveyance the land described therein
shall become and be a public street of the village. No street less than
two rods in width shall be accepted by dedication, unless the resolution
adopting same is passed by unanimous vote of the board of trustees. All
offers of dedication must be entered at length in the minutes of the
board of trustees.
