Sec. 1-6004. Payment of judgment against county. A judgment against a county shall not, in any case, be enforced against the lands or other property of a county; but when judgment is entered against a county, the county board shall direct an order to be drawn on the county treasurer for the amount of the judgment and costs, which orders shall be paid as other county debts.
A. Whenever the county board in any county shall in any year determine the amount of all taxes to be raised for county purposes, such board shall include among the purposes for which such taxes are to be raised the payment of any outstanding judgment or judgments against such county for the payment of which no other provisions have been made.
B. The county board may provide for the payment of any such judgment or judgments and the interest thereon in equal annual installments, not exceeding however 10 in number, and may include one of such installments in the amount of taxes to be raised for county purposes in each year, but the aggregate amount of all taxes to be raised for county purposes shall not in any year exceed the rate of 75 cents on the $100 valuation of property unless authorized by a vote of the people of the county.
