4 estate agencies, in which case the terms of the agent's
5 compensation must be included in the resolution. The
6 resolution must also include pertinent information concerning

10 newspaper of general circulation published in the district or,
11 if no newspaper is published in the district, a newspaper of
12 general circulation published in the county in which the
13 district is located. The board of trustees may accept any
14 contract proposal that the board determines is in the best
15 interest of the district, provided, however, that the sale
16 price may not be less than 80% of the appraised value of the
17 real estate.
18 (c) Nothing in this Section prevents a fire protection
19 district from transferring realty to another municipal
20 corporation or political subdivision pursuant to the Local
21 Government Property Transfer Act.
