(65 ILCS 5/11-95-8) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-95-8)
Sec. 11-95-8.
The corporate authorities of any municipality adopting
this proposition shall thereafter levy and collect, annually, a tax of
not less than the minimum set out in the specified petition nor more
than the maximum specified in Section 11-95-7. If, however, the
corporate authorities desire to levy a tax in excess of .09% but not in
excess of .20% of value for such purposes, the corporate authorities
may, by ordinance, stating the tax rate desired, cause a proposition for
an assent thereto to be submitted to the voters of the municipality. The
proposition shall be certified
by the clerk for submission by the proper election authority at an election
in accordance with the general election law. If a majority of the votes cast upon
the proposition are in favor thereof, the corporate authorities may
thereafter levy a tax for recreation purposes at the authorized
increased rate. This tax shall be in addition to taxes for general
purposes authorized by Section 8-3-1, and shall be exclusive of all
other taxes which the municipality may levy and collect.
