22 (a) The General Assembly finds, determines, and declares
23 the following:
24 (1) The loss of job opportunities for the residents
25 of the State is a serious menace to the health, safety,
26 morals and general welfare of the people of the entire
27 State.
28 (2) A vigorous growing economy is the basic source
29 of job opportunities.
30 (3) Protection against the economic burdens
31 associated with the loss of job opportunities, the
-2- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 consequent spread of economic stagnation, and the
2 resulting harm to the tax base of the State can best be
3 provided by promoting, attracting, stimulating,
4 retaining, and revitalizing industry, manufacturing, and
5 commerce within the State.
6 (4) The continual encouragement, development,
7 growth, and expansion of commercial businesses and
8 industrial and manufacturing facilities within the State
9 requires a cooperative and continuous partnership between
10 government and the private sector.
11 (5) The State has a responsibility to help create a
12 favorable climate for new and improved job opportunities
13 for its citizens and to increase the tax base of the
14 State and its political subdivisions by encouraging the
15 development by the private sector of new commercial
16 businesses and industrial and manufacturing facilities
17 and the retention of existing commercial businesses and
18 industrial and manufacturing facilities within the State.
19 (6) Loss of job opportunities within the State has
20 persisted, despite efforts of State and local authorities
21 and private organizations to attract new commercial
22 businesses and industrial and manufacturing facilities to
23 the State and to retain existing commercial businesses
24 and industrial and manufacturing facilities within the
25 State, and there continue to be counties within the State
26 experiencing low rates of private investment for
27 commercial businesses and industrial and manufacturing
28 facilities.
29 (7) Persistent loss of job opportunities and the
30 existence of counties with low rates of private
31 investment for commercial businesses and industrial and
32 manufacturing facilities. within the State may continue
33 and worsen if the State and its political subdivisions
34 are not able to provide additional incentives to
35 commercial businesses and industrial and manufacturing
-3- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 facilities to locate or to remain in the State.
2 (8) The provision of additional incentives by the
3 State and its political subdivisions is intended to
4 relieve conditions of unemployment, maintain existing
5 levels of employment, create new job opportunities,
6 retain jobs within the State, increase industry and
7 commerce within the State, thereby creating job
8 opportunities for the residents of the State and reducing
9 the evils attendant upon unemployment, and increase the
10 tax base of the State and its political subdivisions.
11 (b) It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State,
12 in the interest of promoting the health, safety, morals, and
13 general welfare of all the people of the State, to provide
14 incentives that will create new job opportunities and retain
15 existing commercial businesses and industrial and
16 manufacturing facilities within the State, and it is further
17 determined and declared that the relief of conditions of
18 unemployment, the maintenance of existing levels of
19 employment, the creation of new job opportunities, the
20 retention of existing commercial businesses and industrial
21 and manufacturing facilities within the State, the promotion
22 of new commercial businesses and industrial and manufacturing
23 facilities within the State, the increase of industry and
24 commerce within the State, the reduction of the evils
25 attendant upon unemployment, and the increase of the tax base

28 development project area by adding together the most recently
29 ascertained equalized assessed value of each taxable lot,
30 block, tract, or parcel of real property within the economic
31 development project area, from which shall be deducted the
32 homestead exemptions provided by Sections 15-170 and 15-175
33 of the Property Tax Code, and shall certify that amount as
-17- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 the "total initial equalized assessed value" of the taxable
2 real property within the economic development project area.
3 (b) After the county clerk has certified the "total
4 initial equalized assessed value" of the taxable real
5 property in the economic development project area, then in
6 respect to every taxing district containing an economic
7 development project area, the county clerk or any other
8 official required by law to ascertain the amount of the
9 equalized assessed value of all taxable property within the
10 taxing district for the purpose of computing the rate per
11 cent of tax to be extended upon taxable property within the
12 taxing district shall, in every year that tax increment
13 allocation financing is in effect, ascertain the amount of
14 value of taxable property in an economic development project
15 area by including in that amount the lower of the current
16 equalized assessed value or the certified "total initial
17 equalized assessed value" of all taxable real property in the
18 area. The rate per cent of tax determined shall be extended
19 to the current equalized assessed value of all property in
20 the economic development project area in the same manner as
21 the rate per cent of tax is extended to all other taxable
22 property in the taxing district. The method of extending
23 taxes established under this Section shall terminate when the
24 county adopts an ordinance dissolving the special tax
25 allocation fund for the economic development project area.
26 This Act shall not be construed as relieving property owners
27 within an economic development project area from paying a
28 uniform rate of taxes upon the current equalized assessed
29 value of their taxable property as provided in the Property
30 Tax Code.
31 Section 50. Special tax allocation fund.
32 (a) If a county clerk has certified the "total initial
33 equalized assessed value" of the taxable real property within
34 an economic development project area in the manner provided
-18- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 in Section 45, each year after the date of the certification
2 by the county clerk of the "total initial equalized assessed
3 value", until economic development project costs and all
4 county obligations financing economic development project
5 costs have been paid, the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising
6 from the levies upon the taxable real property in the
7 economic development project area by taxing districts and tax
8 rates determined in the manner provided in subsection (b) of
9 Section 45 shall be divided as follows:
10 (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each
11 taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
12 that is attributable to the lower of the current
13 equalized assessed value or the initial equalized
14 assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or
15 parcel of real property existing at the time tax
16 increment financing was adopted shall be allocated to
17 (and when collected shall be paid by the county collector
18 to) the respective affected taxing districts in the
19 manner required by law in the absence of the adoption of
20 tax increment allocation financing.
21 (2) That portion, if any, of the taxes that is
22 attributable to the increase in the current equalized
23 assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract, or
24 parcel of real property in the economic development
25 project area, over and above the initial equalized
26 assessed value of each property existing at the time tax
27 increment financing was adopted, shall be allocated to
28 (and when collected shall be paid to) the county
29 treasurer, who shall deposit the taxes into a special
30 fund (called the special tax allocation fund of the
31 county) for the purpose of paying economic development
32 project costs and obligations incurred in the payment of
33 those costs.
34 (b) The county, by an ordinance adopting tax increment
35 allocation financing, may pledge the monies in and to be
-19- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 deposited into the special tax allocation fund for the
2 payment of obligations issued under this Act and for the
3 payment of economic development project costs. No part of
4 the current equalized assessed valuation of each property in
5 the economic development project area attributable to any
6 increase above the total initial equalized assessed value of
7 those properties shall be used in calculating the general
8 State school aid formula under Section 18-8 of the School
9 Code until all economic development projects costs have been
10 paid as provided for in this Section.
11 (c) When the economic development projects costs,
12 including without limitation all county obligations financing
13 economic development project costs incurred under this Act,
14 have been paid, all surplus monies then remaining in the
15 special tax allocation fund shall be distributed by being
16 paid by the county treasurer to the county collector, who
17 shall immediately pay the monies to the taxing districts
18 having taxable property in the economic development project
19 area in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
20 distribution by the county collector to those taxing
21 districts of real property taxes from real property in the
22 economic development project area.
23 (d) Upon the payment of all economic development project
24 costs, retirement of obligations, and distribution of any
25 excess monies under this Section, the county shall adopt an
26 ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation fund for the
27 economic development project area and terminating the
28 designation of the economic development project area as an
29 economic development project area. Thereafter, the rates of
30 the taxing districts shall be extended and taxes shall be
31 levied, collected, and distributed in the manner applicable
32 in the absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation
33 financing.
34 (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
35 relieving property in the economic development project areas
-20- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 from being assessed as provided in the Property Tax Code or
2 as relieving owners of that property from paying a uniform
3 rate of taxes as required by Section 4 of Article 9 of the
4 Illinois Constitution.
5 Section 55. Issuance of obligations for economic
6 development project costs.
7 (a) Obligations secured by the special tax allocation
8 fund provided for in Section 50 for the economic development
9 project area may be issued to provide for the payment of
10 economic development project costs. The obligations, when
11 issued, shall be retired in the manner provided in the
12 ordinance authorizing the issuance of the obligations by the
13 receipts of taxes levied as specified in Section 45 against
14 the taxable property included in the economic development
15 project area and by other revenue designated or pledged by
16 the county. A county may in the ordinance pledge all or any
17 part of the monies in and to be deposited into the special
18 tax allocation fund created under Section 50 to the payment
19 of the economic development project costs and obligations.
20 Whenever a county pledges all of the monies to the credit of
21 a special tax allocation fund to secure obligations issued or
22 to be issued to pay economic development project costs, the
23 county may specifically provide that monies remaining to the
24 credit of the special tax allocation fund after the payment
25 of the obligations shall be accounted for annually and shall
26 be deemed to be "surplus" monies, and those "surplus" monies
27 shall be distributed as provided in this Section. Whenever a
28 county pledges less than all of the monies to the credit of
29 the special tax allocation fund to secure obligations issued
30 or to be issued to pay economic development project costs,
31 the county shall provide that monies to the credit of the
32 special tax allocation fund and not subject to the pledge or
33 otherwise encumbered or required for payment of contractual
34 obligations for specific economic development project costs
-21- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 shall be calculated annually and shall be deemed to be
2 "surplus" monies, and those "surplus" monies shall be
3 distributed as provided in this Section. All monies to the
4 credit of the special tax allocation fund that are deemed to
5 be "surplus" monies shall be distributed annually within 180
6 days after the close of the county's fiscal year by being
7 paid by the county treasurer to the county collector. The
8 county collector shall thereafter make distribution to the
9 respective taxing districts in the same manner and proportion
10 as the most recent distribution by the county collector to
11 those taxing districts of real property taxes from real
12 property in the economic development project area.
13 (b) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a),
14 the county may, in addition to obligations secured by the
15 special tax allocation fund, pledge (for a period not greater
16 than the term of the obligations) towards payment of those
17 obligations any part or any combination of the following:
18 (i) net revenues of all or part of the economic development
19 project; (ii) taxes levied and collected on any or all
20 property in the county including, specifically, taxes levied
21 or imposed by the county in a special service area under the
22 Special Service Area Tax Act; (iii) the full faith and credit
23 of the county; (iv) a mortgage on part or all of the economic
24 development project; or (v) any other taxes or anticipated
25 receipts that the county may lawfully pledge.
26 (c) The obligations may be issued in one or more series
27 bearing interest at a rate or rates the county determines by
28 ordinance. The rate or rates may be variable or fixed,
29 without regard to any limitations contained in any law now in
30 effect or hereafter adopted. The obligations shall bear a
31 date or dates, mature at a time or times not exceeding 20
32 years from their respective dates (but in no event exceeding
33 23 years from the date of establishment of the economic
34 development project area), be in a denomination, be in a form
35 (whether coupon, registered, or book-entry), carry
-22- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 registration, conversion, and exchange privileges, be
2 executed in a manner, be payable in a medium of payment at a
3 place or places within or without the State of Illinois,
4 contain covenants, terms, and conditions, be subject to
5 redemption with or without premium, be subject to defeasance
6 upon terms, and have rank or priority as the ordinance
7 provides. Obligations issued under this Act may be sold at
8 public or private sale at a price determined by the corporate
9 authorities of the county. The obligations may, but need
10 not, be issued utilizing the provisions of any one or more of
11 the Omnibus Bond Acts specified in Section 1.33 of the
12 Statute on Statutes. No referendum approval of the electors
13 shall be required as a condition to the issuance of
14 obligations under this Act except as provided in this
15 Section.
16 (d) If the county authorizes the issuance of obligations
17 under this Act secured by the full faith and credit of the
18 county or pledges ad valorem taxes under clause (ii) of
19 subsection (b) of this Section (and the obligations are other
20 than obligations that may be issued under home rule powers
21 provided by Article VII, Section 6 of the Illinois
22 Constitution, or the ad valorem taxes are other than ad
23 valorem taxes that may be pledged under home rule powers
24 provided by Article VII, Section 6 of the Illinois
25 Constitution or that are levied in a special service area
26 under the Special Service Area Tax Act), the ordinance
27 authorizing the issuance of the obligations or pledging those
28 taxes shall be published within 10 days after the ordinance
29 has been passed in one or more newspapers having a general
30 circulation within the county. The publication of the
31 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (i) the
32 specific number of voters required to sign a petition
33 requesting the question of the issuance of the obligations or
34 pledging ad valorem taxes to be submitted to the electors;
35 (ii) the time in which the petition must be filed; and (iii)
-23- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 the date of the prospective referendum. The county clerk
2 shall provide a petition form to any individual requesting
3 one.
4 (e) If no petition is filed with the clerk of the county
5 that adopted the ordinance within 30 days after the
6 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in
7 effect. If, however, within that 30-day period a petition is
8 filed with the county clerk, signed by electors numbering not
9 less than 10% of the registered voters in the county, asking
10 that the question of issuing obligations using the full faith
11 and credit of the county as security for the cost of paying
12 for economic development project costs or of pledging ad
13 valorem taxes for the payment of those obligations, or both,
14 be submitted to the electors of the county, the county shall
15 not be authorized to issue obligations of the county using
16 the full faith and credit of the county as security or
17 pledging ad valorem taxes for the payment of the obligations,
18 or both, until the proposition has been submitted to and
19 approved by a majority of the voters voting on the
20 proposition at a regularly scheduled election. The county
21 shall certify the proposition to the proper election
22 authorities for submission in accordance with the general
23 election law.
24 (f) The ordinance authorizing the obligations may
25 provide that the obligations shall contain a recital that
26 they are issued under this Act, and that recital shall be
27 conclusive evidence of their validity and of the regularity
28 of their issuance.
29 (g) If the county authorizes the issuance of obligations
30 under this Act secured by the full faith and credit of the
31 county, the ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide
32 for the levy and collection of a direct annual tax upon all
33 taxable property within the county sufficient to pay the
34 principal of and interest on the obligations as it matures.
35 The levy may be in addition to and exclusive of the maximum
-24- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the county, but
2 shall be abated to the extent that monies from other sources
3 are available for payment of the obligations and the county
4 certifies the amount of those monies available to the county
5 clerk.
6 (h) A county shall file a certified copy of an
7 ordinance authorizing the issuance of obligations under this
8 Act with the county clerk. The filing shall constitute the
9 authority for the extension and collection of the taxes to be
10 deposited in the special tax allocation fund.
11 (i) A county may also issue its obligations to refund,
12 in whole or in part, obligations previously issued by the
13 county under this Act, whether at or prior to maturity. The
14 last maturity of the refunding obligations, however, shall
15 not be expressed to mature later than 23 years from the date
16 of the ordinance approving the economic development project
17 area.
18 (j) If a county issues obligations under home rule
19 powers or other legislative authority, the proceeds of which
20 are pledged to pay for economic development project costs,
21 the county may, if it has followed the procedures set forth
22 in this Act, retire those obligations from monies in the
23 special tax allocation fund in amounts and a manner as if
24 those obligations had been issued under this Act.
25 (k) No obligations issued under this Act shall be
26 regarded as an indebtedness of the county issuing the
27 obligations or any other taxing district for the purpose of
28 any limitation imposed by law.
29 (l) Obligations issued under this Act shall not be
30 subject to the Bond Authorization Act.
31 Section 60. Powers of counties; economic development
32 project area commissions. In addition to powers that it may
33 now have, a county has the following powers under this Act:
34 (1) To make and enter into all contracts necessary

8 easements, and options with respect to property, all in
9 the manner and at a price the county determines is
10 reasonably necessary to achieve the objectives of the
11 economic development project. No conveyance, lease,
12 mortgage, disposition of land, or agreement relating to
13 the development of property shall be made or executed
14 except pursuant to prior official action of the county.
15 No conveyance, lease, mortgage, or other disposition of
16 land, and no agreement relating to the development of
17 property, shall be made without making public disclosure

17 nongovernmental persons for economic development project
18 costs incurred by the developer or other nongovernmental
19 person shall be made only pursuant to the prior official
20 action of the county evidencing an intent to pay or cause

6 and make recommendations to the corporate authorities
7 concerning the approval of economic development plans,
8 the establishment of economic development project areas,
9 and the adoption of tax increment allocation financing
10 for economic development project areas.
11 Section 65. Conflicts of interest; disclosure.
12 (a) If any member of the corporate authorities of a
13 county or an employee or consultant of the county involved in
14 the planning, analysis, preparation, or administration of an
15 economic development plan or an economic development project
16 (or a proposed economic development plan or proposed economic
17 development project) owns or controls any direct or indirect
18 interest in any property included in an economic development
19 project area or proposed economic development project area,
20 he or she shall disclose the interest in writing to the
21 county clerk. The disclosure shall include the dates, terms,
22 and conditions of any disposition of any such interest. The
23 disclosures shall be acknowledged by the corporate
24 authorities of the county and entered upon the official
25 records and files of the corporate authorities.
26 (b) An individual holding an interest shall refrain from

33 consultants of the county regarding any matter relating to
34 the project, plan, or area.
-28- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 (c) No member of the corporate authorities of the county
2 and no employee of the county shall acquire any direct or

6 after the person obtains knowledge of the project, plan, or
7 area or after the first public notice of the project, plan,
8 or area is given by the county, whichever first occurs.
9 Section 70. Payment of project costs; revenues from
10 county property. Revenues received by the county from any
11 property, building, or facility owned, leased, or operated by
12 the county or any agency or authority established by the
13 county may be used to pay economic development project costs
14 or reduce outstanding obligations of the county incurred
15 under this Act for economic development project costs. The
16 county may place those revenues in the special tax allocation
17 fund, which shall be held by the county treasurer or other

19 county from the sale or other disposition of real property
20 acquired by the county with the proceeds of obligations
21 funded by tax increment allocation financing shall be
22 deposited by the county in the special tax allocation fund.
23 Section 75. Partial invalidity. If any Section,
24 subdivision, paragraph, sentence, or clause of this Act is,
25 for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, that

1 Sec. 6. Obligations issued to finance redevelopment
2 projects pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation
3 Redevelopment Act or economic development projects pursuant
4 to the County Economic Development Project Area Tax Increment
5 Allocation Act of 1997 shall not be subject to the provisions

7 (Source: P.A. 84-1418.)
8 Section 110. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
9 changing Sections 7-3-6 and 11-74.4-9 as follows:
10 (65 ILCS 5/7-3-6) (from Ch. 24, par. 7-3-6)
11 Sec. 7-3-6. Disconnection by court order. The owner or
12 owners of record of any area of land consisting of one or
13 more tracts, lying within the corporate limits of any
14 municipality may have such territory disconnected which (1)
15 contains 20 or more acres; (2) is located on the border of
16 the municipality; (3) if disconnected, will not result in the
17 isolation of any part of the municipality from the remainder
18 of the municipality, (4) if disconnected, the growth
19 prospects and plan and zoning ordinances, if any, of such
20 municipality will not be unreasonably disrupted, (5) if
21 disconnected, no substantial disruption will result to
22 existing municipal service facilities, such as, but not
23 limited to, sewer systems, street lighting, water mains,
24 garbage collection and fire protection, (6) if disconnected
25 the municipality will not be unduly harmed through loss of
26 tax revenue in the future, and (7) in counties with a
27 population between 750,000 and 2,000,000, is contiguous to
28 unincorporated territory. The procedure for disconnection
29 shall be as follows: The owner or owners of record of any
30 such area of land shall file a petition in the circuit court
31 of the county where the land is situated, alleging facts in
32 support of the disconnection. The municipality from which
33 disconnection is sought shall be made a defendant, and it, or
-30- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 any taxpayer residing in that municipality, may appear and
2 defend against the petition. If the court finds that the
3 allegations of the petition are true and that the area of
4 land is entitled to disconnection it shall order the
5 specified land disconnected from the designated municipality.
6 If the circuit court finds that the allegations contained in
7 the petition are not true, the court shall enter an order
8 dismissing the petition.
9 An area of land, or any part thereof, disconnected under
10 the provisions of this section from a municipality which was
11 incorporated at least 2 years prior to the date of the filing
12 of such petition for disconnection shall not be subdivided
13 into lots and blocks within 1 year from the date of such
14 disconnecting. A plat of any such proposed subdivision shall
15 not be accepted for recording or registration within such one
16 year period, unless the land comprising such proposed
17 subdivision shall have been thereafter incorporated into a
18 municipality.

20 (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-9) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-9)
21 Sec. 11-74.4-9. (a) If a municipality by ordinance
22 provides for tax increment allocation financing pursuant to
23 Section 11-74.4-8, the county clerk immediately thereafter
24 shall determine (1) the most recently ascertained equalized
25 assessed value of each lot, block, tract or parcel of real
26 property within such redevelopment project area from which
27 shall be deducted the homestead exemptions provided by
28 Sections 15-170 and 15-175 of the Property Tax Code, which
29 value shall be the "initial equalized assessed value" of each
30 such piece of property, and (2) the total equalized assessed
31 value of all taxable real property within such redevelopment
32 project area by adding together the most recently ascertained
33 equalized assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract,
34 or parcel of real property within such project area, from
-31- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 which shall be deducted the homestead exemptions provided by
2 Sections 15-170 and 15-175 of the Property Tax Code, and
3 shall certify such amount as the "total initial equalized
4 assessed value" of the taxable real property within such
5 project area.
6 (b) In reference to any municipality which has adopted
7 tax increment financing after January 1, 1978, and in respect
8 to which the county clerk has certified the "total initial
9 equalized assessed value" of the property in the
10 redevelopment area, the municipality may thereafter request
11 the clerk in writing to adjust the initial equalized value of
12 all taxable real property within the redevelopment project
13 area by deducting therefrom the exemptions provided for by
14 Sections 15-170 and 15-175 of the Property Tax Code
15 applicable to each lot, block, tract or parcel of real
16 property within such redevelopment project area. The county
17 clerk shall immediately after the written request to adjust
18 the total initial equalized value is received determine the
19 total homestead exemptions in the redevelopment project area
20 provided by Sections 15-170 and 15-175 of the Property Tax
21 Code by adding together the homestead exemptions provided by
22 said Sections on each lot, block, tract or parcel of real
23 property within such redevelopment project area and then
24 shall deduct the total of said exemptions from the total
25 initial equalized assessed value. The county clerk shall
26 then promptly certify such amount as the "total initial
27 equalized assessed value as adjusted" of the taxable real
28 property within such redevelopment project area.
29 (b-5) Notwithstanding any other provision to the
30 contrary, if within any redevelopment project area the
31 municipality has obtained ownership of additional parcels
32 within 2 years of adoption of the ordinance establishing tax
33 increment allocation financing and such ownership would
34 result in an exemption under Section 15-60 of the Property
35 Tax Code, and such properties constitute not more than 7
-32- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 parcels with a total acreage of not more than 20 acres and
2 not less than 10 acres, then the clerk shall adjust the
3 initial equalized assessed value of all taxable real property
4 within the redevelopment project area by deducting therefrom
5 the exemption provided by Section 15-60 to the applicable
6 parcels within the redevelopment project area. The county
7 clerk shall determine the total exemption under Section 15-60
8 of the Property Tax Code for the additional parcels obtained
9 by the municipality and then shall deduct the total of the
10 exemptions granted under that Section for the parcels from
11 the total initial equalized assessed value. The county clerk
12 shall then promptly certify such amount as the "total initial
13 equalized assessed value as adjusted" of the taxable real
14 property within the redevelopment project area.
15 (c) After the county clerk has certified the "total
16 initial equalized assessed value" of the taxable real
17 property in such area, then in respect to every taxing
18 district containing a redevelopment project area, the county
19 clerk or any other official required by law to ascertain the
20 amount of the equalized assessed value of all taxable
21 property within such district for the purpose of computing
22 the rate per cent of tax to be extended upon taxable property
23 within such district, shall in every year that tax increment
24 allocation financing is in effect ascertain the amount of
25 value of taxable property in a redevelopment project area by
26 including in such amount the lower of the current equalized
27 assessed value or the certified "total initial equalized
28 assessed value" of all taxable real property in such area,
29 except that after he has certified the "total initial
30 equalized assessed value as adjusted" he shall in the year of
31 said certification if tax rates have not been extended and in
32 every year thereafter that tax increment allocation financing
33 is in effect ascertain the amount of value of taxable
34 property in a redevelopment project area by including in such
35 amount the lower of the current equalized assessed value or
-33- LRB9001775MWksccr
1 the certified "total initial equalized assessed value as
2 adjusted" of all taxable real property in such area. The rate
3 per cent of tax determined shall be extended to the current
4 equalized assessed value of all property in the redevelopment
5 project area in the same manner as the rate per cent of tax
6 is extended to all other taxable property in the taxing
7 district. The method of extending taxes established under
8 this Section shall terminate when the municipality adopts an
9 ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation fund for the
10 redevelopment project area. This Division shall not be
11 construed as relieving property owners within a redevelopment
12 project area from paying a uniform rate of taxes upon the
13 current equalized assessed value of their taxable property as
14 provided in the Property Tax Code.
