| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 11-76-2 as follows:
| 6 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-76-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-76-2)
| 7 | | Sec. 11-76-2.
An ordinance directing a sale, or a lease of | 8 | | real estate for
any term in excess of 20 years, shall specify | 9 | | the location of the real
estate, the use thereof, and such | 10 | | conditions with respect to further use of
the real estate as | 11 | | the corporate authorities may deem necessary and
desirable to | 12 | | the public interest. Before the corporate authorities of a
city | 13 | | or village make a sale, by virtue of such an ordinance, notice | 14 | | of the
proposal to sell shall be published once each week for 3 | 15 | | successive weeks
in a daily or weekly paper published in the | 16 | | city or village, or if there is
none, then in some paper | 17 | | published in the county in which the city or
village is | 18 | | located. The first publication shall be not less than 30 days
| 19 | | before the day provided in the notice for the opening of bids | 20 | | for the real
estate. The notice shall contain an accurate | 21 | | description of the property,
state the purpose for which it is | 22 | | used and at what meeting the bids will be
considered and | 23 | | opened, and shall advertise for bids therefor. All such bids
|
| | | SB0728 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB099 07832 AWJ 27967 b |
|
| 1 | | shall be opened only at a regular meeting of the corporate | 2 | | authorities. The
corporate authorities may accept the high bid | 3 | | or any other bid determined
to be in the best interest of the | 4 | | city or village by a vote of 3/4 of the
corporate authorities | 5 | | then holding office, but by a majority vote of those
holding | 6 | | office, they may reject any and all bids. The consideration for
| 7 | | such a sale may include but need not be limited to the | 8 | | provision of
off-street parking facilities by the purchaser, | 9 | | which parking facilities
may be made part of the municipal | 10 | | parking system. Such consideration also
may include the | 11 | | provision of other public facilities by the purchaser.
| 12 | | Before the corporate authorities of the city or village | 13 | | make a lease of
real estate for a term in excess of 20 years, | 14 | | they shall give notice of
intent to adopt such an ordinance. | 15 | | The notice must be published at least
once in a daily or weekly | 16 | | newspaper published in the city or village, and
if there is | 17 | | none, then in some paper published in the county in which the
| 18 | | city or village is located. The publication must be not less | 19 | | than 15 nor
more than 30 days before the date on which it is | 20 | | proposed to adopt such an
ordinance. The notice must contain an | 21 | | accurate description of the property,
state the purpose for | 22 | | which it is used and the restrictions upon the
proposed use of | 23 | | the property to be leased. The corporate authorities may
| 24 | | negotiate the consideration and terms of such lease. Such | 25 | | consideration may
include the provision of off-street parking | 26 | | facilities by the lessee, which
parking facilities may be made |
| | | SB0728 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB099 07832 AWJ 27967 b |
|
| 1 | | part of the municipal parking system. Such
consideration also | 2 | | may include the provision of other public facilities by
the | 3 | | lessee on the real estate acquired. The corporate authorities | 4 | | may
contract with the lessee for the use of a portion of a | 5 | | structure or
improvement to be constructed on the real estate | 6 | | leased.
| 7 | | If such real estate is utilized in part for private use and | 8 | | in part for
public use, those portions of the improvements | 9 | | devoted to private use are
fully taxable. The land shall be | 10 | | exempt from taxation to the extent that
the uses thereon are | 11 | | public and taxable to the extent that the uses are
private. The | 12 | | taxable portion of the land is that percentage of the land's
| 13 | | total assessed valuation that the private development thereon | 14 | | bears to the
total development thereon. Nothing in this Section | 15 | | prevents the corporate
authorities from determining to sell or | 16 | | lease such property to the highest
responsible bidder. The | 17 | | corporate authorities may provide by ordinance for
the | 18 | | procedure to be followed in securing bids for the sale or lease | 19 | | of the
subject property. The disposition of real estate | 20 | | acquired pursuant to (a)
Section 6 of the "Urban Community | 21 | | Conservation Act", approved July 13,
1953, as now or hereafter | 22 | | amended, (b) Sections 12, 22 and 31 of the "Urban
Renewal | 23 | | Consolidation Act of 1961", approved August 15, 1961, as now or
| 24 | | hereafter amended, or (c) Division 11 of this Article by a | 25 | | municipality as
the Local Public Agency under an urban renewal | 26 | | program as defined therein,
