1    On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
2improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
3redevelopment project area located within the territorial
4limits of the municipality where:
5        (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
6    residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
7    the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
8    combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
9    which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
10    meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
11    find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
12    of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
13    improved part of the redevelopment project area:
14            (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
15        or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
16        structural components of buildings or improvements in
17        such a combination that a documented building
18        condition analysis determines that major repair is
19        required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
20        that the buildings must be removed.
21            (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
22        falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
23        for the original use.

1        windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia.
2        With respect to surface improvements, that the
3        condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
4        sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
5        areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
6        limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
7        depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
8        protruding through paved surfaces.
9            (D) Presence of structures below minimum code
10        standards. All structures that do not meet the

24        facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for
25        light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without
26        windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor,

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 4 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1        gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials.
2        Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the
3        absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces or
4        rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
5        area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
6        facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
7        garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
8        hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
9        preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
10        units within a building.
11            (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
12        utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
13        sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and

16        insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
17        redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
18        antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
19        lacking within the redevelopment project area.
20            (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
21        structures and community facilities. The
22        over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
23        buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
24        Examples of problem conditions warranting the
25        designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land
26        coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 5 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1        improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
2        inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
3        standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
4        the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
5        For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
6        these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
7        conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
8        within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
9        of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack
10        of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,

16        considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
17        the surrounding area.
18            (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
19        redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
20        Environmental Protection Agency or United States
21        Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
22        or a study conducted by an independent consultant
23        recognized as having expertise in environmental
24        remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
25        hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
26        storage tanks required by State or federal law,

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 6 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1        provided that the remediation costs constitute a
2        material impediment to the development or
3        redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
4            (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
5        redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
6        without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
7        This means that the development occurred prior to the
8        adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
9        other community plan or that the plan was not followed
10        at the time of the area's development. This factor must
11        be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
12        land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
13        improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
14        size to meet contemporary development standards, or
15        other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
16        community planning.
17            (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
18        proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
19        of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
20        the redevelopment project area is designated or is
21        increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
22        balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
23        calendar years for which information is available or is
24        increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
25        Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
26        by the United States Department of Labor or successor

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

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 8 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1        the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.

3        improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
4        vacant land.
5            (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
6        Protection Agency or United States Environmental
7        Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
8        conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
9        having expertise in environmental remediation has
10        determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
11        hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
12        required by State or federal law, provided that the
13        remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
14        the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
15        project area.
16            (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
17        proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
18        of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
19        the redevelopment project area is designated or is
20        increasing at an annual rate that is less than the

1        year in which the redevelopment project area is
2        designated.
3        (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
4    project area is impaired by one of the following factors
5    that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
6    meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
7    find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
8    of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout

19        or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
20        part of the area and contributes to flooding within the
21        same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
22        provides for facilities or improvements to contribute
23        to the alleviation of all or part of the flooding.
24            (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
25        disposal site containing earth, stone, building

15        been substantial private investment in the immediately
16        surrounding area.
17        (4) A redevelopment project area within a transit
18    facility improvement area that has been designated under
19    Section 11-74.4-3.3 of this Code.

7    residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by
8    data from the most recent federal census.
9        Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the

6    removed for households of low-income and very low-income
7    persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
8    less than that which would be provided under the federal
9    Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
10    Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
11    that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
12    housing may be either existing or newly constructed
13    housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
14    households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
15    housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois

22        with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
23        reimbursement before the municipality shall be

09900SB0277sam001- 41 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1        forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that year.
2        School districts may adopt a resolution waiving the

21    authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
22    district by the municipality from the Special Tax
23    Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received

4    law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter
5    referendum.
6        The amount paid to a library district under this
7    paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
8    net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
9    library card in that district who reside in housing units
10    within the redevelopment project area that have received
11    financial assistance through an agreement with the
12    municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of

21    from the amount that it must pay to a library district
22    under this paragraph any amount that it has voluntarily
23    paid to the library district from the tax increment
24    revenue. The amount paid to a library district under this
25    paragraph (7.7) shall be no more than 2% of the amount

1    the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
2        A library district is not eligible for any payment
3    under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
4    experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
5    municipality that created the tax-increment-financing

9    paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September 30
10    of each year, provide the municipality with convincing
11    evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
12    municipality shall be required to approve or make the
13    payment to the library district. If the library district
14    fails to provide the information during this period in any
15    year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
16    year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
17    right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise
18    required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such
19    reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any
20    right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or
21    contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the
22    redevelopment project area or projects;

7            (B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
8        30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the

10        during that year;
11            (C) if there are not sufficient funds available in
12        the special tax allocation fund to make the payment
13        pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so due
14        shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds are
15        available in the special tax allocation fund;
16            (D) the total of such interest payments paid
17        pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total
18        (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the

1        as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
2        Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall be substituted
3        for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11).
4            (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by
5        subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as
6        modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any
7        other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the
8        municipality may pay from tax increment revenues up to
9        50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
10        be occupied by low-income households and very
11        low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
12        Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of
13        construction of those units may be derived from the
14        proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this
15        Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or
16        from other sources of municipal revenue that may be
17        reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the proceeds

1        part of a residential redevelopment project that
2        includes units not affordable to low and very
3        low-income households, only the low and very
4        low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
5        subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
6        maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and
7        very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
8        the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
9        constructed with eligible costs made available under
10        the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
11        (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the

13        documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
14        low-income households and very low-income households,
15        as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
16        Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
17        the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will
18        provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
19        funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
20        preserve the original affordability of the ownership
21        units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
22        at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
23        very low-income households. As units become available,
24        they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
25        municipality may modify these guidelines from time to
26        time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 48 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1        as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay
2        for costs associated with the units or for the
3        retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
4        the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
5        is later.

7    within a municipality with a population of more than
8    100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
9    employees from low-income families working for businesses
10    located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
11    portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
12    established by redevelopment project area businesses to

21    Urban Development.
22        (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
23    construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
24    an eligible redevelopment project cost.

6    10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
7    boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.
8    For purposes of this paragraph, termination means a closing
9    of a retail operation that is directly related to the
10    opening of the same operation or like retail entity owned

13    operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail
14    entity, as documented by the retail entity, subject to a
15    reasonable finding by the municipality that the current
16    location contained inadequate space, had become
17    economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location
18    for the retailer or serviceman.
19        (14) No cost shall be a redevelopment project cost in a
20    redevelopment project area if used to demolish, remove, or

9the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
10Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
11imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
12Service Area Tax Law may be used within the redevelopment
13project area for the purposes permitted by that Act or Law as
14well as the purposes permitted by this Act.

9Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local Government Distributive Fund,
10the Local Government Tax Fund and the County and Mass Transit
11District Fund, for as long as State participation exists, over
12and above the Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales

09900SB0277sam001- 52 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the
2aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the base year
3is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%.
4The amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted

9Sales Tax Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
10Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax
11Amounts for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
12the Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For
13the State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
14utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
15received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
16shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,

12municipalities, issue obligations, separately or jointly, and
13expend revenues received under the Act for eligible expenses
14anywhere within contiguous redevelopment project areas or as
15otherwise permitted in the Act. With respect to redevelopment
16project areas that are established within a transit facility
17improvement area, the provisions of this subsection apply only

10Industrial Jobs Recovery Law that is either contiguous to, or
11is separated only by a public right of way from, the
12redevelopment project area created under this Act which

15loaning such revenues to a redevelopment project area created
16under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law that is either
17contiguous to, or separated only by a public right of way from
18the redevelopment project area that initially produced and
19received those revenues; and, if the redevelopment project area
20(i) was established before the effective date of this
21amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly and (ii) is located
22within a municipality with a population of more than 100,000,

2either contiguous to, or separated only by a public right of
3way from, a redevelopment project area whether or not
4redevelopment project costs or the source of payment for the
5costs are specifically set forth in the redevelopment plan for
6the redevelopment project area.
7    (r) If no redevelopment project has been initiated in a
8redevelopment project area within 7 years after the area was
9designated by ordinance under subsection (a), the municipality
10shall adopt an ordinance repealing the area's designation as a
11redevelopment project area; provided, however, that if an area
12received its designation more than 3 years before the effective
13date of this amendatory Act of 1994 and no redevelopment
14project has been initiated within 4 years after the effective
15date of this amendatory Act of 1994, the municipality shall

17project area. Initiation of a redevelopment project shall be
18evidenced by either a signed redevelopment agreement or
19expenditures on eligible redevelopment project costs
20associated with a redevelopment project.

13    Sec. 11-74.4-8. Tax increment allocation financing. A
14municipality may not adopt tax increment financing in a
15redevelopment project area after the effective date of this
16amendatory Act of 1997 that will encompass an area that is
17currently included in an enterprise zone created under the

1levies upon taxable real property in such redevelopment project
2area by taxing districts and tax rates determined in the manner
3provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 each year after
4the effective date of the ordinance until redevelopment project
5costs and all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
6project costs incurred under this Division have been paid shall
7be divided as follows:
8    (a) That portion of taxes levied upon each taxable lot,
9block, tract or parcel of real property which is attributable
10to the lower of the current equalized assessed value or the
11initial equalized assessed value of each such taxable lot,
12block, tract or parcel of real property in the redevelopment
13project area (plus, with respect to any redevelopment project
14area located within a transit facility improvement area
15established pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3, 20% of the portion
16calculated pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section) shall be
17allocated to and when collected shall be paid by the county
18collector to the respective affected taxing districts in the
19manner required by law in the absence of the adoption of tax
20increment allocation financing.
21    (b) Except from a tax levied by a township to retire bonds
22issued to satisfy court-ordered damages, that portion (but,
23with respect to any redevelopment project area located within a
24transit facility improvement area established pursuant to
25Section 11-74.4-3.3, only 80% of that portion), if any, of such
26taxes which is attributable to the increase in the current

1equalized assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract
2or parcel of real property in the redevelopment project area
3over and above the initial equalized assessed value of each
4property in the project area shall be allocated to and when
5collected shall be paid to the municipal treasurer who shall
6deposit said taxes into a special fund called the special tax
7allocation fund of the municipality for the purpose of paying
8redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in the
9payment thereof. In any county with a population of 3,000,000
10or more that has adopted a procedure for collecting taxes that
11provides for one or more of the installments of the taxes to be
12billed and collected on an estimated basis, the municipal
13treasurer shall be paid for deposit in the special tax
14allocation fund of the municipality, from the taxes collected
15from estimated bills issued for property in the redevelopment
16project area, the difference between the amount actually
17collected from each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
18real property within the redevelopment project area and an
19amount determined by multiplying the rate at which taxes were
20last extended against the taxable lot, block, track, or parcel
21of real property in the manner provided in subsection (c) of
22Section 11-74.4-9 by the initial equalized assessed value of
23the property divided by the number of installments in which
24real estate taxes are billed and collected within the county;
25provided that the payments on or before December 31, 1999 to a
26municipal treasurer shall be made only if each of the following

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 87 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1conditions are met:
2        (1) The total equalized assessed value of the
3    redevelopment project area as last determined was not less
4    than 175% of the total initial equalized assessed value.
5        (2) Not more than 50% of the total equalized assessed
6    value of the redevelopment project area as last determined
7    is attributable to a piece of property assigned a single
8    real estate index number.
9        (3) The municipal clerk has certified to the county
10    clerk that the municipality has issued its obligations to
11    which there has been pledged the incremental property taxes
12    of the redevelopment project area or taxes levied and
13    collected on any or all property in the municipality or the
14    full faith and credit of the municipality to pay or secure
15    payment for all or a portion of the redevelopment project
16    costs. The certification shall be filed annually no later
17    than September 1 for the estimated taxes to be distributed
18    in the following year; however, for the year 1992 the
19    certification shall be made at any time on or before March
20    31, 1992.
21        (4) The municipality has not requested that the total
22    initial equalized assessed value of real property be
23    adjusted as provided in subsection (b) of Section
24    11-74.4-9.
25    The conditions of paragraphs (1) through (4) do not apply
26after December 31, 1999 to payments to a municipal treasurer

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 88 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1made by a county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants that has
2adopted an estimated billing procedure for collecting taxes. If
3a county that has adopted the estimated billing procedure makes
4an erroneous overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal
5treasurer, then the county may seek a refund of that
6overpayment. The county shall send the municipal treasurer a
7notice of liability for the overpayment on or before the
8mailing date of the next real estate tax bill within the
9county. The refund shall be limited to the amount of the
10overpayment.
11    It is the intent of this Division that after the effective
12date of this amendatory Act of 1988 a municipality's own ad
13valorem tax arising from levies on taxable real property be
14included in the determination of incremental revenue in the
15manner provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9. If the
16municipality does not extend such a tax, it shall annually
17deposit in the municipality's Special Tax Increment Fund an
18amount equal to 10% of the total contributions to the fund from
19all other taxing districts in that year. The annual 10% deposit
20required by this paragraph shall be limited to the actual
21amount of municipally produced incremental tax revenues
22available to the municipality from taxpayers located in the
23redevelopment project area in that year if: (a) the plan for
24the area restricts the use of the property primarily to
25industrial purposes, (b) the municipality establishing the
26redevelopment project area is a home-rule community with a 1990

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 89 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1population of between 25,000 and 50,000, (c) the municipality
2is wholly located within a county with a 1990 population of
3over 750,000 and (d) the redevelopment project area was
4established by the municipality prior to June 1, 1990. This
5payment shall be in lieu of a contribution of ad valorem taxes
6on real property. If no such payment is made, any redevelopment
7project area of the municipality shall be dissolved.
8    If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
9financing by ordinance and the County Clerk thereafter
10certifies the "total initial equalized assessed value as
11adjusted" of the taxable real property within such
12redevelopment project area in the manner provided in paragraph
13(b) of Section 11-74.4-9, each year after the date of the
14certification of the total initial equalized assessed value as
15adjusted until redevelopment project costs and all municipal
16obligations financing redevelopment project costs have been
17paid the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon
18the taxable real property in such redevelopment project area by
19taxing districts and tax rates determined in the manner
20provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 shall be divided
21as follows:
22        (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each taxable
23    lot, block, tract or parcel of real property which is
24    attributable to the lower of the current equalized assessed
25    value or "current equalized assessed value as adjusted" or
26    the initial equalized assessed value of each such taxable

1    lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property existing at
2    the time tax increment financing was adopted, minus the
3    total current homestead exemptions under Article 15 of the
4    Property Tax Code in the redevelopment project area (plus,
5    with respect to any redevelopment project area located
6    within a transit facility improvement area established
7    pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3, 20% of the portion
8    calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) below) shall be
9    allocated to and when collected shall be paid by the county
10    collector to the respective affected taxing districts in
11    the manner required by law in the absence of the adoption
12    of tax increment allocation financing.
13        (2) That portion (but, with respect to any
14    redevelopment project area located within a transit
15    facility improvement area established pursuant to Section
16    11-74.4-3.3, only 80% of that portion), if any, of such
17    taxes which is attributable to the increase in the current
18    equalized assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block,
19    tract, or parcel of real property in the redevelopment
20    project area, over and above the initial equalized assessed
21    value of each property existing at the time tax increment
22    financing was adopted, minus the total current homestead
23    exemptions pertaining to each piece of property provided by
24    Article 15 of the Property Tax Code in the redevelopment
25    project area, shall be allocated to and when collected
26    shall be paid to the municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit

1    said taxes into a special fund called the special tax
2    allocation fund of the municipality for the purpose of
3    paying redevelopment project costs and obligations
4    incurred in the payment thereof.
5    The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds in
6and to be deposited in the special tax allocation fund for the
7payment of such costs and obligations. No part of the current
8equalized assessed valuation of each property in the
9redevelopment project area attributable to any increase above
10the total initial equalized assessed value, or the total
11initial equalized assessed value as adjusted, of such
12properties shall be used in calculating the general State
13school aid formula, provided for in Section 18-8 of the School
14Code, until such time as all redevelopment project costs have
15been paid as provided for in this Section.
16    Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
17financing redevelopment project costs, such municipality may
18provide by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee, which
19may be any trust company within the State, and for the
20establishment of such funds or accounts to be maintained by
21such trustee as the municipality shall deem necessary to
22provide for the security and payment of the bonds. If such
23municipality provides for the appointment of a trustee, such
24trustee shall be considered the assignee of any payments
25assigned by the municipality pursuant to such ordinance and
26this Section. Any amounts paid to such trustee as assignee

 

 

09900SB0277sam001- 92 -LRB099 03029 AWJ 34251 a

1shall be deposited in the funds or accounts established
2pursuant to such trust agreement, and shall be held by such
3trustee in trust for the benefit of the holders of the bonds,
4and such holders shall have a lien on and a security interest
5in such funds or accounts so long as the bonds remain
6outstanding and unpaid. Upon retirement of the bonds, the
7trustee shall pay over any excess amounts held to the
8municipality for deposit in the special tax allocation fund.
9    When such redevelopment projects costs, including without
10limitation all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
11project costs incurred under this Division, have been paid, all
12surplus funds then remaining in the special tax allocation fund
13shall be distributed by being paid by the municipal treasurer
14to the Department of Revenue, the municipality and the county
15collector; first to the Department of Revenue and the
16municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
17revenue received from the State and the municipality, but not
18to exceed the total incremental revenue received from the State
19or the municipality less any annual surplus distribution of
20incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining funds
21to be paid to the County Collector who shall immediately
22thereafter pay said funds to the taxing districts in the
23redevelopment project area in the same manner and proportion as
24the most recent distribution by the county collector to the
25affected districts of real property taxes from real property in
26the redevelopment project area.

1    Upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs, the
2retirement of obligations, the distribution of any excess
3monies pursuant to this Section, and final closing of the books
4and records of the redevelopment project area, the municipality
5shall adopt an ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation
6fund for the redevelopment project area and terminating the
7designation of the redevelopment project area as a
8redevelopment project area. Title to real or personal property
9and public improvements acquired by or for the municipality as
10a result of the redevelopment project and plan shall vest in
11the municipality when acquired and shall continue to be held by
12the municipality after the redevelopment project area has been
13terminated. Municipalities shall notify affected taxing
14districts prior to November 1 if the redevelopment project area
15is to be terminated by December 31 of that same year. If a
16municipality extends estimated dates of completion of a
17redevelopment project and retirement of obligations to finance
18a redevelopment project, as allowed by this amendatory Act of
191993, that extension shall not extend the property tax
20increment allocation financing authorized by this Section.
21Thereafter the rates of the taxing districts shall be extended
22and taxes levied, collected and distributed in the manner
23applicable in the absence of the adoption of tax increment
24allocation financing.
25    Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving
26property in such redevelopment project areas from being
