| 16 | | (35 ILCS 200/2-10)
| 17 | | Sec. 2-10. Mandatory establishment of multi-township | 18 | | assessment districts.
Before August 1, 2002 and every 10 | 19 | | years thereafter, the supervisor of
assessments shall prepare | 20 | | maps, by county, of the townships, indicating the
number of | 21 | | inhabitants and the equalized assessed valuation of each | 22 | | township for
the preceding year, within the counties under | 23 | | township organization, and shall
distribute a copy of that map | 24 | | to the county board and to each township
supervisor, board of | 25 | | trustees, sitting township or multi-township assessor, and
to |
| | | 10300HB2830ham001 | - 3 - | LRB103 29699 HLH 60978 a |
|
| 1 | | the Department. The map shall contain suggested multi-township | 2 | | assessment
districts for purposes of assessment. Upon receipt | 3 | | of the maps, the boards of
trustees shall determine | 4 | | separately, by majority vote, if the suggested
multi-township | 5 | | districts are acceptable.
| 6 | | The township boards of trustees may meet as a body to | 7 | | discuss the suggested
districts of which they would be a part. | 8 | | Upon request of the township
supervisor of any township, the | 9 | | township supervisor of the township containing
the most | 10 | | population shall call the meeting, designating the time and | 11 | | place, and
shall act as temporary chairperson of the meeting | 12 | | until a permanent chairperson
is chosen from among the | 13 | | township officials included in the call to the
meeting. The | 14 | | township assessors and supervisor of assessments may | 15 | | participate
in the meeting. Notice of the meeting shall be | 16 | | given in the same manner as
notice is required for township | 17 | | meetings in the Township Code. The meeting shall be open to the | 18 | | public and may be recessed
from time to time.
| 19 | | If a multi-township assessment district is not acceptable | 20 | | to any board of
trustees, they shall so determine and further | 21 | | determine an alternative
multi-township assessment district. | 22 | | The suggested or
alternative multi-township assessment | 23 | | district shall contain at least 2
qualified townships , as | 24 | | defined in Section 2-5 and 1,000 or more inhabitants , shall | 25 | | contain no less than the
total area of any one township, shall | 26 | | be contiguous to at least one
other township in the |
| | | 10300HB2830ham001 | - 4 - | LRB103 29699 HLH 60978 a |
|
| 1 | | multi-township assessment district, and shall be located
| 2 | | within one county.
For purposes of this Section only, | 3 | | townships are contiguous if they share a
common boundary line | 4 | | or meet at any point. This amendatory Act of 1996 is not
a new | 5 | | enactment, but is declarative of existing law.
| 6 | | Before September 15, 2002 and every 10 years thereafter, | 7 | | the respective
boards of town trustees shall notify the | 8 | | supervisor of assessments and the
Department whether they have | 9 | | accepted the suggested multi-township assessment
district or | 10 | | whether they have adopted an alternative district, and, in the
| 11 | | latter case, they shall include in the notification a | 12 | | description or map, by
township, of the alternative district. | 13 | | Before October 1, 2002 and every 10
years thereafter, the | 14 | | supervisor of assessments shall determine whether any
| 15 | | suggested or alternative multi-township assessment district | 16 | | meets the
conditions of this Section and Section 2-5. If any | 17 | | township board of trustees
fails to so notify the supervisor | 18 | | of assessments and the Department as provided
in this Section, | 19 | | the township shall be part of the original suggested
| 20 | | multi-township assessment district. In any dispute between 2 | 21 | | or more townships
as to inclusion or exclusion of a township in | 22 | | any one multi-township assessment
district, the county board | 23 | | shall hold a public hearing in the county seat and,
as soon as | 24 | | practicable thereafter, make a final determination as to the
| 25 | | composition of the district. It shall notify the Department of | 26 | | the final
determination before November 15, 2002 and every 10 |
| | | 10300HB2830ham001 | - 5 - | LRB103 29699 HLH 60978 a |
|
| 1 | | years thereafter. The
Department shall promulgate the | 2 | | multi-township assessment districts, file the
same with the | 3 | | Secretary of State as provided in the Illinois Administrative
| 4 | | Procedure Act and so notify the township supervisors, boards | 5 | | of trustees and
county clerks of the townships and counties | 6 | | subject to this Section and Section
2-5. If the Department's | 7 | | promulgation removes
a township from a prior multi-township | 8 | | assessment district, that township
shall, within 30 days after | 9 | | the effective date of the removal, receive a
distribution of a | 10 | | portion of the assets of the prior multi-township
assessment | 11 | | district according to the ratio of the total equalized | 12 | | assessed
valuation of all the taxable property in the township | 13 | | to the total equalized
assessed valuation of all the taxable | 14 | | property in the prior multi-township
assessment district. If a | 15 | | township is removed from one multi-township
assessment | 16 | | district and made a part of another multi-township assessment
| 17 | | district, the district from which the township is removed | 18 | | shall, within 30 days
after the effective date of the removal, | 19 | | cause the township's
distribution under this paragraph to be | 20 | | paid directly to the district of
which the township is made a | 21 | | part. A township receiving such a
distribution (or a | 22 | | multi-township assessment district receiving such a
| 23 | | distribution on behalf of a township that is made a part of | 24 | | that district)
shall use the proceeds from the distribution | 25 | | only in connection with assessing
real estate in the township | 26 | | for tax purposes.
