Sec. 6-27004.
Purposes for which fund may be used;
reimbursement. All moneys received from the issuance of
bonds as herein authorized, or from any tax levied pursuant to the
authority granted by this Division, shall be set apart in said
working cash fund by the county treasurer and shall be used only for the
purposes and in the manner hereinafter provided. Such fund, and the moneys
therein, shall not be regarded as current assets available for
appropriation and shall not be appropriated by the county board in the
resolution termed the annual appropriations bill. The county board may
appropriate moneys to the working cash fund up to the maximum amount
allowable in the fund, and the working cash fund may receive such
appropriations and any other contributions. In order to provide moneys with
which to meet ordinary and necessary disbursements for salaries and other
corporate purposes, such fund and the moneys therein may be transferred, in
whole or in part, to the general corporate fund of the county and so
disbursed therefrom (a) in anticipation of the collection of any taxes
lawfully levied for general corporate purposes, (b) in anticipation of the
receipt of moneys to be derived from fees and commissions to be earned by
the county clerk and the county collector for extending and collecting
taxes levied, or (c) in the anticipation of such taxes, as by law now or
hereafter enacted or amended, imposed by the General Assembly of the State
of Illinois to replace revenue lost by units of local government and school
districts as a result of the abolition of ad valorem personal property
taxes, pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the
State of Illinois. Moneys transferred to the general corporate fund in
anticipation of the collection of taxes shall be deemed to have been
transferred in anticipation of the collection of that part of the taxes so
levied which is in excess of the amount or amounts thereof required to pay
(a) any tax anticipation warrants and the interest thereon, theretofore or
thereafter issued under the provisions of Section two (2) and three (3) of
"An Act to provide for the manner of issuing warrants upon the treasurer of
the State or of any county, township, city, village or other municipal
corporation and jurors' certificates", approved June 27, 1913, as amended, (b)
the aggregate amount of receipts from taxes imposed to replace revenue lost
by units of local government and school districts as a result of the
abolition of ad valorem personal property taxes, pursuant to Article IX,
Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, which the corporate
authorities estimate will be set aside for the payment of the proportionate
amount of debt service and pension or retirement obligations, as required by
Section 12 of "An Act in relation to State Revenue Sharing with local
government entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended, and (c) any notes
and the interest thereon, theretofore or thereafter issued under the
provisions of Division 6-2, and such taxes levied for general corporate
purposes when collected shall be applied, first, to the payment of any such
warrant and the interest thereon, the amount estimated to be required to
satisfy debt service and pension or retirement obligations as set forth in
Section 12 of "An Act in relation to State revenue sharing with local
government entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended, and to the
payment of any such notes and the interest thereon, and then to the
reimbursement of said working cash fund as hereinafter provided. Upon the
receipt by said county treasurer of any taxes, or other moneys, in
anticipation of the collection or receipt whereof moneys of such working
cash fund have been so transferred for disbursement, such fund shall
immediately be reimbursed therefrom until the full amount so transferred
has been re-transferred to such fund. Unless the taxes and other moneys so
received and applied to the reimbursement of the working cash fund, prior
to the close of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the last
tax penalty date fall due shall be sufficient to effect a complete
reimbursement of such fund for any moneys transferred therefrom in
anticipation of the collection or receipt of such taxes, or other moneys,
such working cash fund shall be reimbursed for the amount of the deficiency
therein from any other revenues accruing to said general corporate fund,
and it shall be the duty of the county board to make provision for the
immediate reimbursement of the amount of any such deficiency in its next
resolution termed the annual appropriations bill.
