(75 ILCS 5/3-2) (from Ch. 81, par. 3-2)
Sec. 3-2.
The corporate authorities of any city of over 500,000
population may levy a tax for library maintenance and operation for the
years 1970 and 1971 of not to exceed .10% and for the years thereafter
of not to exceed .12% of the value of all taxable property in the city,
as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue.
The corporate authorities may also levy an additional tax of .02% of the
value of all the taxable property in the city, as equalized or assessed
by the Department of Revenue, for the purchase of sites
and buildings, for the construction and equipment of buildings, for the
rental of buildings required for library purposes, and for maintenance,
repairs and alterations of library buildings and equipment. If, however, the
corporate authorities desire to levy a tax for any year after 1971 in
excess of .12% but not in excess of .20% of value for library
maintenance and operation, 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 city at a general election to be
held in November of even numbered years. The
proposition shall be in substantially the form prescribed
in Section 3-3. If a majority of the votes cast upon the proposition are
in favor thereof, the corporate authorities may thereafter levy annually
a tax for library maintenance and operation at the authorized increased
rate. Any tax levied pursuant to Section 3-9 shall be disregarded in
applying the provision of this Section.
