SECTION 5:  The Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the St. Charles Public Library District shall promptly file a certified copy of this Ordinance with both the Secretary of State Index Division and the Department of Labor of the State of Illinois.

SECTION 6: The Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the St. Charles Public Library District shall cause a notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the area that the determination of prevailing wages has been made. Said notice shall conform substantially to the notice attached hereto.
