1initial equalized assessed value of each property in the
2redevelopment project area. For the taxes which are extended
3for the 1997 levy year, the recovered tax increment value for a
4non-home rule taxing district that first became subject to
5this Law for the 1995 levy year because a majority of its 1994
6equalized assessed value was in an affected county or counties
7shall be increased if a municipality terminated the
8designation of an area in 1993 as a redevelopment project area
9previously established under the Tax Increment Allocation
10Redevelopment Development Act in the Illinois Municipal Code,
11previously established under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law
12in the Illinois Municipal Code, or previously established
13under the Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation
14Act, by an amount equal to the 1994 equalized assessed value of
15each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in
16the redevelopment project area over and above the initial
17equalized assessed value of each property in the redevelopment
18project area. In the first year after a municipality removes a
19taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property from a
20redevelopment project area established under the Tax Increment
21Allocation Redevelopment Development Act in the Illinois
22Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the
23Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area Tax
24Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
25means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed
26value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real

 

 

HB2436- 18 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1property removed from the redevelopment project area over and
2above the initial equalized assessed value of that real
3property before removal from the redevelopment project area.
4    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
5rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
6preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to
7one plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and
8the denominator of which is the current year's equalized
9assessed value of all real property in the territory under the
10jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy
11year. For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
12extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
13districts that reduced their extension for educational
14purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
15extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
16used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. For levy
17years prior to levy year 2022, the The denominator shall not
18include new property or the recovered tax increment value. For
19levy year 2022 and thereafter, the denominator shall not
20include the recovered tax increment value but shall include
2150% of the value of new property. If a new rate, a rate
22decrease, or a limiting rate increase has been approved at an
23election held after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise
24applicable limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of
25the new rate or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate
26decrease, as the case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting

 

 

HB2436- 19 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1rate increase, the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set
2forth in the proposition approved by the voters for each of the
3years specified in the proposition, after which the limiting
4rate of the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise
5provided. In the case of a taxing district that obtained
6referendum approval for an increased limiting rate on March
720, 2012, the limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate
8that generates the approximate total amount of taxes
9extendable for that tax year, as set forth in the proposition
10approved by the voters; this rate shall be the final rate
11applied by the county clerk for the aggregate of all capped
12funds of the district for tax year 2012.

1prior to July 1, 2021 November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
2Public Act 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set
3forth in this Section prior to that date.
4    On and after July 1, 2021 November 1, 1999, "blighted
5area" means any improved or vacant area within the boundaries
6of a redevelopment project area located within the territorial
7limits of the municipality where:
8        (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
9    residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
10    the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
11    combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
12    which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
13    meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
14    find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
15    of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
16    improved part of the redevelopment project area:
17            (A) (Blank). Dilapidation. An advanced state of
18        disrepair or neglect of necessary repairs to the
19        primary structural components of buildings or
20        improvements in such a combination that a documented

7        means the absence of skylights or windows for interior
8        spaces or rooms and improper window sizes and amounts
9        by room area to window area ratios. Inadequate
10        sanitary facilities refers to the absence or
11        inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom
12        facilities, hot water and kitchens, and structural
13        inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to and from
14        all rooms and units within a building.
15            (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
16        utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
17        sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and

HB2436- 23 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1        buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
2        Examples of problem conditions warranting the
3        designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive
4        land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings
5        either improperly situated on parcels or located on
6        parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
7        present-day standards of development for health and
8        safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on
9        a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive
10        land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one or more
11        of the following conditions: insufficient provision
12        for light and air within or around buildings,
13        increased threat of spread of fire due to the close
14        proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper

22        unsuitable for the surrounding area.
23            (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
24        redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
25        Environmental Protection Agency or United States
26        Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,

 

 

HB2436- 24 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1        or a study conducted by an independent consultant

3        remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
4        hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
5        storage tanks required by State or federal law,
6        provided that the remediation costs constitute a
7        material impediment to the development or
8        redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
9            (L) (Blank). Lack of community planning. The
10        proposed redevelopment project area was developed
11        prior to or without the benefit or guidance of a
12        community plan. This means that the development
13        occurred prior to the adoption by the municipality of
14        a comprehensive or other community plan or that the
15        plan was not followed at the time of the area's
16        development. This factor must be documented by
17        evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
18        relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
19        subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to
20        meet contemporary development standards, or other
21        evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
22        community planning.
23            (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
24        proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
25        of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
26        the redevelopment project area is designated. or is

 

 

HB2436- 25 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1        increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
2        balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
3        calendar years for which information is available or
4        is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
5        Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
6        by the United States Department of Labor or successor
7        agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
8        year in which the redevelopment project area is
9        designated.
10            (N) The proposed redevelopment project area has
11        had an annual average unemployment rate of at least
12        120% of the State's annual average unemployment rate
13        for the most recent calendar year that immediately
14        preceded the calendar year last reported by the
15        Department of Employment Security.
16            (O) The proposed redevelopment project area has a
17        poverty rate of at least: 20% according to the latest
18        federal decennial census; 50% or more of children in
19        the proposed redevelopment project area participate in
20        the federal free lunch program according to reported
21        statistics from the State Board of Education; or 20%
22        or more households in the proposed redevelopment
23        project area receive food stamps according to the
24        latest federal decennial census.

26    project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of

 

 

HB2436- 26 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1    the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
2    that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
3    municipality may reasonably find that the factor is
4    clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii)
5    reasonably distributed throughout the vacant part of the
6    redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
7            (A) (Blank). Obsolete platting of vacant land that
8        results in parcels of limited or narrow size or
9        configurations of parcels of irregular size or shape
10        that would be difficult to develop on a planned basis
11        and in a manner compatible with contemporary standards
12        and requirements, or platting that failed to create
13        rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
14        inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
15        other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
16        for public utilities.
17            (B) (Blank). Diversity of ownership of parcels of
18        vacant land sufficient in number to retard or impede
19        the ability to assemble the land for development.
20            (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
21        or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
22        the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
23            (D) (Blank). Deterioration of structures or site
24        improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the

2        Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
3        conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
4        having expertise in environmental remediation has
5        determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous
6        waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage
7        tanks required by State or federal law, provided that
8        the remediation costs constitute a material impediment
9        to the development or redevelopment of the
10        redevelopment project area.
11            (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
12        proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
13        of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
14        the redevelopment project area is designated. or is
15        increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
16        balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
17        calendar years for which information is available or
18        is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
19        Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
20        by the United States Department of Labor or successor
21        agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
22        year in which the redevelopment project area is
23        designated.
24        (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
25    project area is impaired by one of the following factors
26    that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a

 

 

HB2436- 28 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1    meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
2    find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
3    of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
4    the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
5    it pertains:
6            (A) The area consists of one or more unused
7        quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
8            (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail

12        property in the area as certified by a registered
13        professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
14        or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
15        part of the area and contributes to flooding within
16        the same watershed, but only if the redevelopment
17        project provides for facilities or improvements to
18        contribute to the alleviation of all or part of the
19        flooding.
20            (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
21        disposal site containing earth, stone, building
22        debris, or similar materials that were removed from
23        construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
24            (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
25        than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
26        vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used

 

 

HB2436- 29 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1        for commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years
2        prior to the designation of the redevelopment project

4        itemized in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area
5        has been designated as a town or village center by
6        ordinance or comprehensive plan adopted prior to
7        January 1, 1982, and the area has not been developed
8        for that designated purpose.

3    applicable project is subject to the process for
4    evaluation of environmental effects under the National
5    Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.,
6    then a housing impact study need not be performed. If,

9    residential units, or if the redevelopment project area
10    contains 75 or more inhabited residential units and no
11    certification is made, then the municipality shall

21    of low-income and very low-income persons in currently
22    existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
23    November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
24    with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
25    removed for households of low-income and very low-income
26    persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not

 

 

HB2436- 50 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1    less than that which would be provided under the federal
2    Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
3    Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
4    that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
5    housing may be either existing or newly constructed
6    housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
7    households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
8    housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois

10    faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
11    located in or near the redevelopment project area within
12    the municipality.
13        (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
14    adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
15    project area, any municipality desires to amend its
16    redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
17    units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
18    that change shall be made in accordance with the
19    procedures in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.

1    redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
2    (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
3    paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3,
4    so long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
5    redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
6    plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
7    the date the plan was adopted.
8    (o) "Redevelopment project" means any public and private

13    experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
14    municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
15    district since the designation of the redevelopment

5        affordability of the ownership units. For rental
6        units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for

12        tax increment revenue is being used to pay for costs
13        associated with the units or for the retirement of
14        bonds issued to finance the units or for the life of
15        the redevelopment project area, whichever is later;

3boundaries of the proposed redevelopment project area. This
4requirement is subject to the limitation that in a
5municipality with a population of over 100,000, if the total
6number of residential addresses outside the proposed
7redevelopment project area and within 750 feet of the
8boundaries of the proposed redevelopment project area exceeds
9750, the municipality shall be required to provide the notice
10to only the 750 residential addresses that, after a good faith

20only to residents outside the boundaries of the proposed
21redevelopment project area. The notice shall also be provided
22by the municipality, regardless of its population, to those
23organizations and residents that have registered with the
24municipality for that information in accordance with the

6adjourned to another date without further notice other than a
7motion to be entered upon the minutes fixing the time and place
8of the subsequent hearing. At the public hearing or at any time
9prior to the adoption by the municipality of an ordinance
10approving a redevelopment plan, the municipality may make

12additional parcels of property to the proposed redevelopment
13project area, (2) substantially affect the general land uses
14proposed in the redevelopment plan, (3) substantially change
15the nature of or extend the life of the redevelopment project,
16or (4) increase the number of inhabited residential units to
17be displaced from the redevelopment project area, as measured

19to a total of more than 10, shall be made only after the
20municipality gives notice, convenes a joint review board, and
21conducts a public hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth
22in this Section and in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act. Changes
23which do not (1) add additional parcels of property to the

26substantially change the nature of or extend the life of the

 

 

HB2436- 103 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1redevelopment project, or (4) increase the number of inhabited
2residential units to be displaced from the redevelopment
3project area, as measured from the time of creation of the
4redevelopment project area, to a total of more than 10, may be
5made without further hearing, provided that the municipality
6shall give notice of any such changes by mail to each affected
7taxing district and registrant on the interested parties
8registry, provided for under Section 11-74.4-4.2, and by
9publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the
10affected taxing district. Such notice by mail and by
11publication shall each occur not later than 10 days following
12the adoption by ordinance of such changes. Hearings with
13regard to a redevelopment project area, project or plan may be
14held simultaneously.
15    (b) Prior to holding a public hearing to approve or amend a
16redevelopment plan or to designate or add additional parcels
17of property to a redevelopment project area, the municipality
18shall convene a joint review board. The board shall consist of
19a representative selected by each community college district,
20local elementary school district and high school district or
21each local community unit school district, park district,
22library district, township, fire protection district, and
23county that will have the authority to directly levy taxes on
24the property within the proposed redevelopment project area at
25the time that the proposed redevelopment project area is
26approved, a representative selected by the municipality and a

 

 

HB2436- 104 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1public member. The public member shall first be selected and
2then the board's chairperson shall be selected by a majority
3of the board members present and voting.
4    For redevelopment project areas with redevelopment plans
5or proposed redevelopment plans that would result in the
6displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
7residential units or that include 75 or more inhabited
8residential units, the public member shall be a person who
9resides in the redevelopment project area. If, as determined
10by the housing impact study provided for in paragraph (5) of
11subsection (n) of Section 11-74.4-3, or if no housing impact
12study is required then based on other reasonable data, the
13majority of residential units are occupied by very low, low,
14or moderate income households, as defined in Section 3 of the
15Illinois Affordable Housing Act, the public member shall be a
16person who resides in very low, low, or moderate income
17housing within the redevelopment project area. Municipalities
18with fewer than 15,000 residents shall not be required to
19select a person who lives in very low, low, or moderate income
20housing within the redevelopment project area, provided that
21the redevelopment plan or project will not result in
22displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited units, and
23the municipality so certifies in the plan. If no person
24satisfying these requirements is available or if no qualified
25person will serve as the public member, then the joint review
26board is relieved of this paragraph's selection requirements

 

 

HB2436- 105 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1for the public member.
2    Within 90 days of the effective date of this amendatory
3Act of the 91st General Assembly, each municipality that
4designated a redevelopment project area for which it was not
5required to convene a joint review board under this Section
6shall convene a joint review board to perform the duties
7specified under paragraph (e) of this Section.
8    All board members shall be appointed and the first board
9meeting shall be held at least 14 days but not more than 28
10days after the mailing of notice by the municipality to the
11taxing districts as required by Section 11-74.4-6(c).
12Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a municipality that
13adopted either a public hearing resolution or a feasibility
14resolution between July 1, 1999 and July 1, 2000 that called
15for the meeting of the joint review board within 14 days of
16notice of public hearing to affected taxing districts is
17deemed to be in compliance with the notice, meeting, and
18public hearing provisions of the Act. Such notice shall also
19advise the taxing bodies represented on the joint review board
20of the time and place of the first meeting of the board.
21Additional meetings of the board shall be held upon the call of
22any member. The municipality seeking designation of the
23redevelopment project area shall provide administrative
24support to the board.
25    The board shall review (i) the public record, planning
26documents and proposed ordinances approving the redevelopment

 

 

HB2436- 106 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1plan and project and (ii) proposed amendments to the
2redevelopment plan or additions of parcels of property to the
3redevelopment project area to be adopted by the municipality.
4As part of its deliberations, the board may hold additional
5hearings on the proposal. A board's recommendation shall be an
6advisory, non-binding recommendation. The recommendation shall
7be adopted by a majority of those members present and voting.
8The recommendations shall be submitted to the municipality
9within 30 days after convening of the board. Failure of the
10board to submit its report on a timely basis shall not be cause
11to delay the public hearing or any other step in the process of
12designating or amending the redevelopment project area but
13shall be deemed to constitute approval by the joint review
14board of the matters before it.
15    The board shall base its recommendation to approve or
16disapprove the redevelopment plan and the designation of the
17redevelopment project area or the amendment of the
18redevelopment plan or addition of parcels of property to the
19redevelopment project area on the basis of the redevelopment
20project area and redevelopment plan satisfying the plan
21requirements, the eligibility criteria defined in Section
2211-74.4-3, and the objectives of this Act.
23    The board shall issue a written report describing why the
24redevelopment plan and project area or the amendment thereof
25meets or fails to meet one or more of the objectives of this
26Act and both the plan requirements and the eligibility

 

 

HB2436- 107 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1criteria defined in Section 11-74.4-3. In the event the Board
2does not file a report it shall be presumed that these taxing
3bodies find the redevelopment project area and redevelopment
4plan satisfy the objectives of this Act and the plan
5requirements and eligibility criteria.
6    If the board recommends rejection of the matters before
7it, the municipality will have 30 days within which to
8resubmit the plan or amendment. During this period, the
9municipality will meet and confer with the board and attempt
10to resolve those issues set forth in the board's written
11report that led to the rejection of the plan or amendment.
12    Notwithstanding the resubmission set forth above, the
13municipality may commence the scheduled public hearing and
14either adjourn the public hearing or continue the public
15hearing until a date certain. Prior to continuing any public
16hearing to a date certain, the municipality shall announce
17during the public hearing the time, date, and location for the
18reconvening of the public hearing. Any changes to the
19redevelopment plan necessary to satisfy the issues set forth
20in the joint review board report shall be the subject of a
21public hearing before the hearing is adjourned if the changes
22would (1) substantially affect the general land uses proposed
23in the redevelopment plan, (2) substantially change the nature
24of or extend the life of the redevelopment project, or (3)
25increase the number of inhabited residential units to be
26displaced from the redevelopment project area, as measured

 

 

HB2436- 108 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1from the time of creation of the redevelopment project area,
2to a total of more than 10. Changes to the redevelopment plan
3necessary to satisfy the issues set forth in the joint review
4board report shall not require any further notice or convening
5of a joint review board meeting, except that any changes to the
6redevelopment plan that would add additional parcels of
7property to the proposed redevelopment project area shall be
8subject to the notice, public hearing, and joint review board
9meeting requirements established for such changes by
10subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-5.
11    In the event that the municipality and the board are
12unable to resolve these differences, or in the event that the
13resubmitted plan or amendment is rejected by the board, the
14municipality may proceed with the plan or amendment, but only
15upon a three-fifths vote of the corporate authority
16responsible for approval of the plan or amendment, excluding
17positions of members that are vacant and those members that
18are ineligible to vote because of conflicts of interest.
19    After the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
20102nd General Assembly, a new redevelopment project area that
21overlaps with any existing redevelopment project area or an
22expansion of a redevelopment project area so that the expanded
23area will overlap with any existing redevelopment project area
24may not be approved.
25    (c) After a municipality has by ordinance approved a
26redevelopment plan and designated a redevelopment project

 

 

HB2436- 109 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1area, the plan may be amended and additional properties may be
2added to the redevelopment project area only as herein

15creation of the redevelopment project area, to a total of more
16than 10, shall be made only after the municipality gives
17notice, convenes a joint review board, and conducts a public
18hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section
19and in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act. Changes which do not (1)
20add additional parcels of property to the proposed
21redevelopment project area, (2) substantially affect the
22general land uses proposed in the redevelopment plan, (3)
23substantially change the nature of the redevelopment project,
24(4) increase the total estimated redevelopment project cost
25set out in the redevelopment plan by more than 5% after

15by the municipality. A municipality may in the ordinance
16pledge all or any part of the funds in and to be deposited in
17the special tax allocation fund created pursuant to Section
1811-74.4-8 to the payment of the redevelopment project costs
19and obligations. Any pledge of funds in the special tax
20allocation fund shall provide for distribution to the taxing
21districts and to the Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys
22not required, pledged, earmarked, or otherwise designated for
23payment and securing of the obligations and anticipated
24redevelopment project costs and such excess funds shall be
25calculated annually and deemed to be "surplus" funds. In the

 

 

HB2436- 119 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1event a municipality only applies or pledges a portion of the
2funds in the special tax allocation fund for the payment or
3securing of anticipated redevelopment project costs or of
4obligations, any such funds remaining in the special tax
5allocation fund after complying with the requirements of the
6application or pledge, shall also be calculated annually and
7deemed "surplus" funds. The joint review board and the
8municipality shall review all funds in the special tax
9allocation fund and shall designate and approve surplus funds
10no later than 30 days after the close of the municipality's
11fiscal year. The joint review board and municipality shall
12issue a joint written report describing why they designated
13certain funds surplus funds and why other funds were not
14designated surplus funds under the requirements of this
15paragraph. All surplus funds in the special tax allocation
16fund shall be distributed annually within 90 180 days after
17the close of the municipality's fiscal year, but not before
18the joint written report is issued under this paragraph, by
19being paid by the municipal treasurer to the County Collector,
20to the Department of Revenue and to the municipality in direct
21proportion to the tax incremental revenue received as a result
22of an increase in the equalized assessed value of property in
23the redevelopment project area, tax incremental revenue
24received from the State and tax incremental revenue received
25from the municipality, but not to exceed as to each such source
26the total incremental revenue received from that source. The

 

 

HB2436- 120 -LRB102 12690 HLH 18029 b

1County Collector shall thereafter make distribution to the
2respective taxing districts in the same manner and proportion
3as the most recent distribution by the county collector to the
4affected districts of real property taxes from real property
5in the redevelopment project area.
6    Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
7municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
8special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
9than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
10obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
11net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
12taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
13municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
14municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
15redevelopment project; (d-5) repayment of bonds issued
16pursuant to subsection (p-130) of Section 19-1 of the School

2as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant
3to this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price
4as shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
5municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall
6be required as a condition to the issuance of obligations
7pursuant to this Division except as provided in this Section.
8    In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
9obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
10by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
11obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
12under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
13the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
14(c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
15authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
16taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance

18circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
19ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
20number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
21question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
22to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
23petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective

1hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
2publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in
3effect. But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed
4with the municipal clerk, signed by electors in the
5municipality numbering 10% or more of the number of registered
6voters in the municipality, asking that the question of
7issuing obligations using full faith and credit of the
8municipality as security for the cost of paying for
9redevelopment project costs, or of pledging taxes for the
10payment of such obligations, or both, be submitted to the
11electors of the municipality, the corporate authorities of the
12municipality shall call a special election in the manner
13provided by law to vote upon that question, or, if a general,
14State or municipal election is to be held within a period of
15not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date such
16petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next
17general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the
18canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a
19majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor
20thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of
21the electors voting upon the question are not in favor
22thereof, the ordinance shall not take effect.
23    The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
24the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
25pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be conclusive
26evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their

1issuance.
2    In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
3obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full faith
4and credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
5obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a
6direct annual tax upon all taxable property within the
7municipality sufficient to pay the principal thereof and
8interest thereon as it matures, which levy may be in addition
9to and exclusive of the maximum of all other taxes authorized
10to be levied by the municipality, which levy, however, shall
11be abated to the extent that monies from other sources are
12available for payment of the obligations and the municipality
13certifies the amount of said monies available to the county
14clerk.
15    A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the
16county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
17municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
18for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
19in the special tax allocation fund.
20    A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in
21whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
22municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or
23prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity of
24the refunding obligations may not be later than the dates set
25forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5.
26    In the event a municipality issues obligations under home

1rule powers or other legislative authority the proceeds of
2which are pledged to pay for redevelopment project costs, the
3municipality may, if it has followed the procedures in
4conformance with this division, retire said obligations from
5funds in the special tax allocation fund in amounts and in such
6manner as if such obligations had been issued pursuant to the
7provisions of this division.
8    All obligations heretofore or hereafter issued pursuant to
9this Act shall not be regarded as indebtedness of the
10municipality issuing such obligations or any other taxing
11district for the purpose of any limitation imposed by law.
