project costs (except
| 12 | | for planning and other eligible costs authorized by municipal | 13 | | ordinance or
resolution that are subsequently included in the | 14 | | redevelopment plan for the
area and are incurred after the | 15 | | ordinance or resolution is adopted) that are
not consistent | 16 | | with the program for

such redeveloper or other nongovernmental person | 23 | | shall be made only pursuant
to the prior official action of the | 24 | | municipality evidencing an intent to
pay or cause to be paid | 25 | | such redevelopment project costs. A
municipality is not | 26 | | required to obtain any right, title or interest in any
real or |
| | | 09700SB0539sam001 | - 5 - | LRB097 04328 HLH 52245 a |

| 15 | | powers enumerated in this Section. The commission shall also | 16 | | have the power
to hold the public hearings required by this Act | 17 | | and make recommendations

within a redevelopment | 24 | | project area on a basis that is proportional to the
current | 25 | | collection of revenue which each taxing district receives from | 26 | | real
property in the redevelopment project area.

| 8 | | project area that includes contiguous real property within the | 9 | | boundaries
of the municipalities, and, by agreement between | 10 | | participating
municipalities, to issue obligations, separately | 11 | | or jointly, and expend
revenues received under this Act for | 12 | | eligible expenses anywhere within

| 18 | | (p) Create an Industrial Jobs Recovery Advisory Committee | 19 | | of not more

not more | 24 | | than 1/3 of all members expire in any one year. Their | 25 | | successors
shall be appointed for a term of 3 years. The | 26 | | Committee shall have none of
the powers enumerated in this |
| | | 09700SB0539sam001 | - 7 - | LRB097 04328 HLH 52245 a |

project area within 5 years after the area was | 9 | | designated by ordinance under
subsection (a), the municipality | 10 | | shall adopt an ordinance repealing the area's
designation as a | 11 | | redevelopment project area. Initiation of a redevelopment
| 12 | | project shall be evidenced by either a signed redevelopment | 13 | | agreement or
expenditures on eligible redevelopment project | 14 | | costs associated with a
redevelopment project.
| 15 | | (r) Within a redevelopment planning area, transfer or loan | 16 | | tax increment
revenues from one redevelopment project area to | 17 | | another redevelopment project
area for expenditure on eligible | 18 | | costs in the receiving area.

right of way from, | 24 | | the redevelopment project area that initially produced and
| 25 | | received those revenues.
