 5        The board of each museum district shall, on or before the
 6    second  Tuesday  in  September of each year, adopt a combined
 7    annual budget and appropriation ordinance as provided in  The
 8    Illinois Municipal Budget Law.
 9        Except  as  otherwise provided in this Division, a museum
10    district may annually levy taxes at the following  rates  and
11    for  the  following  purposes  upon  the value of the taxable
12    property within the museum district as equalized or  assessed
13    by the Department of Revenue:
14        (a)  .01%   for   the  general  purposes  of  the  museum
15    district,  including  acquisition  and  development  of  real
16    property which may be in excess of current  requirements  and
17    allowed  to  accumulate  from  year to year, to not more than
18    .05% of the equalized assessed value of property  within  the
19    museum district.
20        (b)  .01%  for  acquisition  of  historic properties both
21    real  and  personal  which  may  be  in  excess  of   current
22    requirements  and allowed to accumulate from year to year, to
23    not more than .10% of the equalized  assessed  value  of  the
24    property  within the museum district.  However, this levy may
25    be used also for the development of real property and for the
26    general purposes of the museum district.
27        Unless otherwise provided by law, a museum  district  may
28    not  levy  annual taxes for all its purposes in the aggregate
29    in excess of .02% of the value, as equalized or  assessed  by
30    the Department of Revenue, of the taxable property therein.
31        After  the adoption of the appropriation ordinance and on

 2    the purposes for which such appropriations have been made and
 3    the  amounts  appropriated for such purposes, the board shall
 4    levy upon the taxable property within the museum  district  a
 5    tax  the  proceeds  of  which  shall not exceed the amount so
 6    ascertained.  A certified copy of  such  ordinance  shall  be
 7    filed on or before the last first Tuesday in December October
 8    with the clerk of each county within the museum district.
 9        However,  if the museum district has levied such tax at a
10    rate lower than the maximum rate set forth in  this  Section,
11    the  board  of trustees may increase the rate of the tax, but
12    not exceeding such maximum rate, by following the  procedures
13    set  forth  above  in this Section and then by certifying the
14    proposition of such increase to the proper election officials
15    for submission to the voters of  the  museum  district  at  a
16    regular election in accordance with the general election law.
17    The proposition shall be in substantially the following form:
18    -------------------------------------------------------------
19        Shall the maximum rate
20    of the tax levied by the County            YES

26    -------------------------------------------------------------
27        If  a majority of all the votes cast upon the proposition
28    are in favor thereof, the board of trustees may levy the  tax
29    at a rate not to exceed the rate set forth in this Section.

 2        Sec.  13.  Annual  appropriations  and  tax  levy.  Every
 3    Authority created under this Act is hereby empowered to  levy
 4    and  collect  a  general  tax  on all of the taxable property
 5    within the corporate limits of such Authority for the purpose
 6    of paying the cost of operating and  maintaining  any  public
 7    airport  or public airport facility of the Authority, and any
 8    other corporate expenses of the  Authority.  However,  a  tax
 9    levy  imposed  by  a  Metropolitan Airport Authority does not
10    apply  to  any  township,  municipality,  or   unincorporated
11    territory   that   has  been  statutorily  removed  from  the
12    jurisdiction  of  the  Authority,  has  opted  out   of   the
13    Authority,  or  is  currently  being taxed by another airport
14    authority. The aggregate amount of such  tax  for  one  year,
15    exclusive  of  the  amount  levied for bonded indebtedness or
16    interest thereon, shall not exceed the rate of .075% upon the
17    aggregate  valuation  of  all  taxable  property  within  the

20    rate  established  pursuant  to  Section  2.1a  or  13.1, the
21    aggregate amount of such tax for one year, exclusive  of  the
22    amount  levied  for  bonded indebtedness or interest thereon,
23    shall not exceed the maximum tax rate so established, and  in
24    no event shall such maximum tax rate exceed the rate of .075%
25    as hereinbefore set forth.
26        The Board of Commissioners of any Airport Authority shall
27    establish  the  beginning  and  ending of its fiscal year and
28    annually within the first quarter of the  fiscal  year  shall
29    adopt  an  appropriation ordinance appropriating such sums of
30    money as are deemed necessary to pay the costs  of  operating
31    and maintaining any public airport or airports located within
32    the   corporate   limits  of  the  Authority  and  under  the
33    jurisdiction thereof and other expenses of the Authority  and

 5    the power to veto or reduce any line item in the ordinance as
 6    provided in Section 5-1014.5 of the Counties Code.
 7        After  the adoption of the appropriation ordinance and on

 9    year,  the  board  of commissioners shall ascertain the total

12    ordinance specifying in detail the purposes  for  which  such
13    appropriations  have  been  made and the amounts appropriated
14    for such purposes, the board of commissioners shall levy  not
15    to  exceed  the  total  amount  so  ascertained  upon all the
16    property subject to taxation within the authority as the same
17    is assessed and equalized for state and county  purposes  for

19        The  limits  of the tax rate and the authority to levy as
20    set forth in this Section do  not  include  the  rate  of  or
21    authority  to  levy  taxes required for lease payments to any
22    Public Building Commission. The tax rate  necessary  and  the
23    authority  to  levy  taxes  for  such  lease  payments are in
24    addition to such limits and are without limitation as to rate
25    or amount.

 2        The  commissioners shall cause the amount to be raised by
 3    taxation in each year to be certified to the county clerk  on

 5    in  the  manner  provided  by law and all taxes so levied and

 8    All such general taxes, when collected, shall be paid over to

10    receive and receipt for the same.  All taxes authorized to be
11    levied under this Act shall be levied annually prior to March
12    28  in  the same manner as nearly as practicable as taxes are
13    now levied for city and village purposes under  the  laws  of

31    value,  as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue
32    of the taxable property in said  district  as  equalized  and
33    determined  for State and local taxes; provided, however, the
34    aggregate amount which may be  accumulated  in  such  reserve

 5    public  parks,"  approved June 17, 1893, as amended, the park

 7    levy  an  annual  tax pursuant to the provisions of such Act,
 8    but such tax levied by such commissioners shall not exceed  a
 9    rate  of  .15  per  cent,  of  the  full,  fair cash value as
10    equalized or  assessed  by  the  Department  of  Revenue,  of
11    taxable  property  within such Chicago Park District and such
12    tax shall be in addition to all other taxes which  such  park
13    commissioners  may  levy.   Said  tax  shall  be  levied  and
14    collected  in  like manner as the general taxes for such Park
15    District and shall not be included within any  limitation  of
16    rate  for  general park purposes as now or hereafter provided
17    by law but shall be excluded therefrom  and  be  in  addition
18    thereto and in excess thereof. The proceeds of such tax shall

 2        Section  65.   The  River  Conservancy  Districts  Act is

12    .75% in any district having a population of less than 25,000,
13    and to .375% in any district  having  25,000  inhabitants  or
14    more,  when  such  increased  tax  has been authorized by the
15    legal voters of such district at a referendum  in  accordance
16    with the general election law.
17        The  right to levy such additional tax, authorized by the
18    legal voters of the District, may at any time  after  one  or
19    more  tax  levies  be  terminated  by  a majority vote of the
20    electors of such district at a referendum. Upon the  petition
21    of  10% of registered voters of the district, it shall be the
22    duty of the trustees of any  such  district  to  certify  the
23    proposition  to terminate such additional taxing power to the
24    proper election officials who shall submit the proposition at
25    an election in accordance with the general election law.

27    taxation in each year to be certified to the county clerks in
28    each county within such district on or before the last second
29    Tuesday in  December  August,  as  provided  in  the  General

 1    over  by  the  officer or officers collecting the same to the
 2    treasurer of the conservancy district in the  manner  and  at
 3    the time provided by the General Revenue Law of Illinois.

 5    deposited with any bank  or  savings  and  loan  association,
 6    require  such bank or savings and loan association to pay the
 7    same rates of interest for such moneys deposited as such bank
 8    or  savings  and  loan  association  is  accustomed  to   pay
 9    depositors  under  like  circumstances in the usual course of
10    its business. All interest so paid shall  be  placed  in  the
11    general  fund  of  the  district,  to be used as other moneys
12    belonging to such district raised by general taxation.
13        No bank or savings and  loan  association  shall  receive

22        (70 ILCS 2205/17) (from Ch. 42, par. 263)
23        Sec. 17. The board of trustees may levy and collect taxes
24    for  corporate  purposes.  Such  taxes  shall  be  levied  by
25    ordinance  specifying  the  purposes  for  which the same are

32    trustees  shall,  as soon as may be, ascertain and certify to
HB0571 Engrossed            -29-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    such county clerk the total value  of  all  taxable  property
 2    lying  within  the corporate limits of such districts in each
 3    of the counties in which the district  is  situated,  if  the
 4    district  is situated in more than one county, as the same is
 5    assessed and equalized for State and county purposes for  the
 6    current  year.  The county clerk shall ascertain the rate per
 7    cent which, upon the total valuation of  all  such  property,
 8    ascertained  as  above stated, would produce a net amount not
 9    less than the amount so directed to be levied; and the  clerk
10    shall, without delay, certify under his signature and seal of
11    office  to  the county clerk of such other county, in which a
12    portion of the district is situated such rate per  cent;  and
13    it  shall  be the duty of each of the county clerks to extend
14    such tax in a separate column upon the books of the collector
15    or collectors of the State and county taxes for the counties,
16    against all property in their respective counties, within the

19    the same officers as State and county  taxes,  and  shall  be
20    paid  over  by  the  officers  collecting  the  same,  to the
21    treasurer of the sanitary district, in the manner and at  the
22    time  provided by the Property Tax Code. The aggregate amount
23    of taxes levied for any one year,  exclusive  of  the  amount
24    levied  for  the  payment of bonded indebtedness and interest
25    thereon, shall not exceed the  rate  of  .20%,  or  the  rate
26    limitation  in  effect on July 1, 1967, whichever is greater,

 5    extended  at  a  rate  not to exceed .03% of the value of all
 6    taxable property within the district as equalized or assessed
 7    by the Department of Revenue.
 8        Such tax may be extended at a rate in excess of .03%  but
 9    not  to  exceed  .05%, providing the question of levying such
10    increase has first been  submitted  to  the  voters  of  such
11    district  at  any  regular  election held in such district in
12    accordance  with  the  general  election  law  and  has  been

24    before  August  2,  1965,  it  shall  continue.  If the board
25    desires to levy such taxes at a rate in excess of  .083%  but
26    not  in  excess  of .35% of the value of all taxable property
27    within  the  district  as  equalized  or  assessed   by   the
28    Department  of  Revenue,  they shall order the question to be
29    submitted at an election to be held within the district.  The
30    certification and submission of the question and the election
31    shall  be  governed  by  the  general  election law. Upon the
32    filing of a petition signed by 10% of the  registered  voters
HB0571 Engrossed            -31-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    of the district.  The right to levy an additional tax, or any
 2    portion  thereof,  authorized by the legal voters, may at any
 3    time after one or more tax levies thereunder,  be  terminated
 4    by  a  majority  vote  of  the  electors of the district at a
 5    referendum. The trustees of the district  shall  certify  the
 6    proposition  to  the  proper  election  officials,  who shall
 7    submit the proposition at an election in accordance with  the
 8    general election law.
 9        In  addition  to  the  other  taxes  authorized  by  this
10    Section,  the board of trustees may levy and collect, without
11    referendum, a tax for the  purpose  of  paying  the  cost  of
12    operation  of  the  chlorination of sewage, or other means of
13    disinfection or additional treatment as may  be  required  by
14    water  quality standards approved or adopted by the Pollution
15    Control Board or by the court, which tax is  not  subject  to
16    the  rate  limitations  imposed  by  this  Section but may be
17    extended at a rate not to exceed .03% of  the  value  of  all
18    taxable property within the district as equalized or assessed
19    by the Department of Revenue.
20        Such  tax may be extended at a rate in excess of .03% but
21    not to exceed .05%, providing the question  of  levying  such
22    increase  has  first  been  submitted  to  the voters of such
23    district at any regular election held  in  such  district  in
24    accordance  with  the  general  election  law  and  has  been
25    approved by a majority of such voters voting thereon.
26        The board shall cause the amount required to be raised by
27    taxation  in each year to be certified to the county clerk by
28    the last second Tuesday in December September, as provided in
29    Section 157 of the General Revenue Law of Illinois. All taxes
30    so levied and certified shall be collected  and  enforced  in
31    the  same manner and by the same officers as State and county
32    taxes, and shall be paid over by the officers collecting  the
33    same  to the treasurer of the sanitary district in the manner
34    and at the time  provided  by  the  General  Revenue  Law  of
HB0571 Engrossed            -32-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    Illinois.
 2        The  treasurer shall, when the moneys of the district are
 3    deposited with any bank  or  savings  and  loan  association,
 4    require  that bank or savings and loan association to pay the
 5    same rates of interest for the moneys deposited as  the  bank
 6    or  savings  and  loan  association  is  accustomed to pay to
 7    depositors under like circumstances, in the usual  course  of
 8    its  business.  All  interest  so paid shall be placed in the
 9    general funds of the district, to be  used  as  other  moneys
10    belonging  to the district raised by general taxation or sale
11    of water.
12        No bank or savings and  loan  association  shall  receive
13    public  funds  as  permitted  by  this Section, unless it has
14    complied  with  the  requirements  established  pursuant   to
15    Section  6  of  "An  Act  relating  to certain investments of
16    public funds by public agencies", approved July 23, 1943,  as
17    now or hereafter amended.
18        In addition to the foregoing, the Board of Trustees shall
19    have  all  of the powers set forth in Division 7 of Article 8
20    of the Illinois Municipal Code until September 10, 1986.

22        Section 80.  The Metropolitan Water Reclamation  District
23    Act is amended by changing Section 5.7 as follows:
24        (70 ILCS 2605/5.7) (from Ch. 42, par. 324q)
25        Sec.  5.7.  The  board  of trustees of the district shall
26    consider the budget estimates  as  submitted  to  it  by  the
27    general   superintendent  and  may  add  to,  revise,  alter,
28    increase or decrease  the  items  contained  in  the  budget.
29    However,  in  no  event  may  the  total  aggregate  proposed
30    expenditures  in  the budget exceed the total estimated means
31    of financing the budget.
32        The board of trustees  shall,  by  the  last  Tuesday  in
HB0571 Engrossed            -33-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    December  before  January first of the budget year, adopt the
 2    budget which is effective on  January  first  of  the  budget
 3    year. The appropriation ordinance and tax levy ordinance must
 4    be  parts of the budget and must be adopted as a part thereof
 5    by single action of the board of trustees. The  appropriation
 6    ordinance  must  be  filed with and be a part of the tax levy
 7    ordinance, which tax levy  ordinance  need  not  contain  any
 8    further    or    additional   specifications   of   purposes,
 9    itemizations or details for which appropriations and the levy
10    are made. The board of trustees shall appropriate  such  sums
11    of money as may be necessary to defray all necessary expenses
12    and  liabilities  of  the district to be paid by the board of
13    trustees or  incurred  during  and  until  the  time  of  the
14    adoption  and effective date of the next annual appropriation
15    ordinance under this Section.  The board  of  trustees  shall
16    appropriate such sums of money as may be necessary to pay the
17    principal and interest on bonds. The board may not expend any
18    money or incur any indebtedness or liability on behalf of the
19    district  in  excess  of  the  percentage and several amounts
20    limited by law, when applied to the  last  known  assessment.
21    The  appropriation  ordinance must specify the several funds,
22    organization  units,   objects,   character   and   functions
23    (activities)  for which such appropriations are made, and the
24    amount appropriated for each fund, organization unit, object,
25    character, and  function  (activity).  The  receipts  of  the
26    district  as  estimated  in the budget and as provided for by
27    the tax levy ordinances and other revenues and borrowing Acts
28    or ordinances are applicable in the amounts and according  to
29    the  funds specified in the budget for the purpose of meeting
30    the expenditures authorized by the appropriate ordinance. The
31    vote of the board of trustees upon the budget shall be  taken
32    by  yeas and nays, and shall be entered in the proceedings of
33    the board of trustees.
34        The appropriation ordinance may be amended  at  the  next
HB0571 Engrossed            -34-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    regular  meeting  of  the  board of trustees occurring before
 2    January first of the budget year and not  less  than  5  days
 3    after the passage thereof in like manner as other ordinances.
 4    If  any  items of appropriations contained therein are vetoed
 5    by the president  of  the  board,  with  recommendations  for
 6    alterations   or   changes  therein,  the  adoption  of  such
 7    recommendations by a District and nay vote is the  equivalent
 8    of  an  amendment of such annual appropriation ordinance with
 9    like effect as if an amendatory ordinance had been passed.
10        Such appropriation ordinance together with other parts of
11    the budget as the board of trustees desire must be  published
12    in  a  newspaper  of  general circulation in the district and
13    made conveniently available for  inspection  by  the  public.
14    Such  publication  must  be made after the date of passage of
15    such budget and before January 20 of the budget year, but the
16    date of publication does  not  affect  the  legality  of  the
17    appropriation  ordinance  or  the  tax  levy ordinance or any
18    other ordinances necessary to  give  effect  to  the  budget.
19    Such  ordinances are effective on the first day of January of
20    the budget year.
21        The Clerk shall certify that such appropriation ordinance
22    as published is a true, accurate and  complete  copy  of  the
23    appropriation  ordinance  as passed and approved by the board
24    of trustees. The board of trustees shall also make public, by
25    publication  or  otherwise,  at  this  time,  the  tax   rate
26    necessary  or estimated to be necessary to finance the budget
27    as adopted.
28        After adoption of the appropriation ordinance, the  board
29    of  trustees  may not make any further or other appropriation
30    prior to the adoption  or  passage  of  the  next  succeeding
31    annual  appropriation  ordinance.  The  board  has  no power,
32    either directly or indirectly, to make  any  contract  or  to
33    take   any  action  which  adds  to  the  total  of  district
34    expenditures or liabilities in any budget year any  sum  over
HB0571 Engrossed            -35-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    and above the amount provided for in the annual appropriation
 2    ordinance for the budget year. However, the board of trustees
 3    has   the  power,  anything  in  this  Act  to  the  contrary
 4    notwithstanding, if after the adoption of  the  appropriation
 5    ordinance  (1) Federal or State grants or loans are accepted,
 6    (2) the voters approve a  bond  ordinance  for  a  particular
 7    purpose  or  the issuance of bonds is otherwise authorized by
 8    law, or (3) duly authorized bonds of the  district  remaining
 9    unissued and unsold have been cancelled and any ordinance has
10    been adopted by the board of trustees under Section 9 of this
11    Act  authorizing  the  issuance of bonds not exceeding in the
12    aggregate the  amount  of  bonds  so  cancelled,  to  pass  a
13    supplemental  appropriation ordinance (in compliance with the
14    provisions of this Act as to publication and  voting  thereon
15    by  the  board  of  trustees)  making  appropriation, for the
16    particular purpose only as set forth in the ordinance, of the
17    proceeds of the grants, loans, or  bond  issue  or  any  part
18    thereof  required  to  be  expended  during  the fiscal year.
19    However, nothing  herein  contained  prevents  the  board  of
20    trustees,  by  a  concurring  vote  of  two-thirds of all the
21    trustees (votes to be taken by yeas and nays and  entered  in
22    the  proceeding  of  the  board of trustees), from making any
23    expenditures or incurring any liability rendered necessary to
24    meet emergencies such as epidemics, flood,  fire,  unforeseen
25    damages  or  other  catastrophies, happening after the annual
26    appropriation ordinance has been passed or adopted. Nor  does
27    anything herein deprive the board of trustees of the power to
28    provide  for and cause to be paid from the district funds any
29    charge upon the district imposed by law without the action of
30    the board of trustees.

32        Section 85.  The Sanitary District Act of 1936 is amended

HB0571 Engrossed            -36-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1        (70 ILCS 2805/17) (from Ch. 42, par. 428)
 2        Sec. 17. The board shall cause the amount required to  be
 3    raised by taxation in each year to be certified to the county
 4    clerk  on  or  before  the  last  second  Tuesday in December
 5    September, as provided in Section 157 of the General  Revenue
 6    Law  of  Illinois. All taxes so levied and certified shall be
 7    collected and enforced in the same manner  and  by  the  same
 8    officers as State and county taxes, and shall be paid over by
 9    the  officer  collecting  the  same  to  the treasurer of the
10    sanitary district in the manner and at the time  provided  by
11    the General Revenue Law of Illinois.

13        Section 90.  The Metro-East Sanitary District Act of 1974
14    is amended by changing Section 5-1 as follows:
15        (70 ILCS 2905/5-1) (from Ch. 42, par. 505-1)
16        Sec.  5-1.   (a) The board may levy and collect taxes for
17    corporate purposes. Such taxes shall be levied  by  ordinance
18    specifying  the purposes for which the same are required, and
19    a certified copy of such ordinance shall be  filed  with  the
20    county  clerk of the county in which the predecessor district
21    was organized, on  or  before  the  last  second  Tuesday  in
22    December  August,  as  provided in Section 122 of the Revenue
23    Act of 1939 (superseded by Section 14-10 of the Property  Tax
24    Code).   After  the  assessment for the current year has been
25    equalized by the Department of Revenue, the board  shall,  as
26    soon  as  may  be, ascertain and certify to such county clerk
27    the total value of all  taxable  property  lying  within  the
28    corporate limits of such districts in each of the counties in
29    which  the  district is situated, as the same is assessed and
30    equalized for tax purposes for the current year.  The  county
31    clerk shall ascertain the rate per cent which, upon the total
32    valuation  of all such property, ascertained as above stated,
HB0571 Engrossed            -37-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    would produce a net  amount  not  less  than  the  amount  so
 2    directed  to  be  levied; and the clerk shall, without delay,
 3    certify under his signature and seal of office to the  county
 4    clerk  of  such  other  county,  in  which  a  portion of the
 5    district is situated such rate per cent; and it shall be  the
 6    duty  of  each  of  the county clerks to extend such tax in a
 7    separate column upon the books of the collector or collectors
 8    of the county taxes for the counties, against all property in
 9    their respective counties, within the limits of the district.
10    All taxes so levied and  certified  shall  be  collected  and
11    enforced  in  the  same  manner,  and by the same officers as
12    county  taxes,  and  shall  be  paid  over  by  the  officers
13    collecting  the  same,  to  the  treasurer  of  the  sanitary
14    district, in the manner and  at  the  time  provided  by  the
15    Property  Tax  Code. The aggregate amount of taxes levied for
16    any one year, exclusive of the amount levied for the  payment
17    of bonded indebtedness and interest thereon, shall not exceed
18    the  rate  of .20%, or the rate limitation of the predecessor
19    district in effect on July 1, 1967, or  the  rate  limitation
20    set  by  subsection  (b)  whichever  is greater, of value, as
21    equalized or assessed  by  the  Department  of  Revenue.  The
22    foregoing  limitations  upon  tax  rates  may be increased or
23    decreased under the referendum provisions of the Property Tax
24    Code.
25        (b)  The tax rate limit of the district may be changed to
26    .478% of the value of property as equalized  or  assessed  by
27    the  Department  of  Revenue  for  a period of 5 years and to
28    .312% of such value  thereafter  upon  the  approval  of  the
29    electors  of  the district of such a proposition submitted at
30    any regular election pursuant to a resolution of the board of
31    commissioners or submitted at an election for officers of the
32    counties of St. Clair and  Madison  in  accordance  with  the
33    general election law upon a petition signed by not fewer than
34    10%  of  the  legal  voters in the district, which percentage
HB0571 Engrossed            -38-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    shall be determined on the basis of the number of votes  cast
 2    at  the  last  general  election preceding the filing of such
 3    petition specifying  the  tax  rate  to  be  submitted.  Such
 4    petition  shall  be  filed with the executive director of the
 5    district not more than 10 months nor less than 5 months prior
 6    to the election at which the question is to be  submitted  to
 7    the  voters  of  the  district,  and  its  validity  shall be
 8    determined as provided  by  the  general  election  law.  The
 9    executive  director  shall certify the question to the proper
10    election officials, who shall  submit  the  question  to  the
11    voters.
12        Notice  shall  be  given  in  the  manner provided by the
13    general election law.
14        Referenda  initiated  under  this  subsection  shall   be
15    subject  to  the  provisions  and  limitations of the general
16    election law.
17        The question  shall be  in  substantially  the  following
18    form:
19    -------------------------------------------------------------
20        Shall the maximum tax rate
21    for the Metro-East Sanitary
22    District be established at                  YES
23    .478% of the equalized assessed
24    value for 5 years and then at .312%   -----------------------
25    of the equalized assessed value
26    thereafter, instead of .2168%, the          NO
27    maximum rate otherwise applicable
28    to the next taxes to be extended?
29    -------------------------------------------------------------
30        The  ballot shall have printed thereon, but not as a part
31    of the proposition submitted, an estimate of the  approximate
32    amount   extendable  under  the  proposed  rate  and  of  the
33    approximate  amount  extendable  under  the  rate   otherwise
34    applicable  to  the  next  taxes to be extended, such amounts

 2    provided,  that  any  error,  miscalculation or inaccuracy in
 3    computing such amounts shall not  invalidate  or  affect  the
 4    validity of any tax rate limit so adopted.
 5        If  a  majority  of  all ballots cast on such proposition
 6    shall be in favor of the proposition, the tax rate  limit  so
 7    established   shall  become  effective  with  the  levy  next
 8    following the  referendum;  provided  that  nothing  in  this
 9    subsection  shall be construed as precluding the extension of
10    taxes at rates less than that authorized by such referendum.
11        Except  as  herein  otherwise  provided,  the   referenda
12    authorized by the terms of this subsection shall be conducted
13    in  all  respects  in  the  manner  provided  by  the general

19        Sec.  30-85.  Budget  and  appropriation  ordinance; levy
20    ordinance.
21        (a)  The board shall, within the first  quarter  of  each
22    fiscal  year  and  no  later  than the last fourth Tuesday of
23    December  September,  prepare  and   enact   a   budget   and
24    appropriation  ordinance  pursuant  to  the provisions of the
25    Illinois Municipal  Budget  Law.  A  certified  copy  of  the
26    ordinance  shall  be published once, and the board shall then
27    ascertain the total amount of the appropriation made for  all
28    purposes permitted by this Act and the total amount of monies
29    necessary to be raised for the appropriation.
30        (b)  By  the first Tuesday in December, after publication
31    of the appropriation ordinance, the board shall enact a  levy
32    ordinance   incorporating   the  appropriation  ordinance  by
HB0571 Engrossed            -40-               LRB9000547DNmb
 1    reference and levying not more than the total amount  of  the
 2    appropriation  (taking into consideration monies to be raised
 3    from other than tax sources) upon  all  property  subject  to
 4    taxation within the district as that property is assessed and
 5    equalized for State and county purposes for that year.
 6        (c)  The  secretary  shall  file,  on  or before the last
 7    Tuesday in December, a certified copy of the  levy  ordinance
 8    with  the  county  clerk of each county affected by the levy.
 9    Where more than one county is involved, the  secretary  shall
10    supply and certify under his or her signature and seal of the
11    district additional information required by each county clerk
12    for  the  clerk's  determination  of  the portion of the levy
13    required to be levied in his or her county.
14        (d)  The county clerk shall ascertain the rate  per  cent
15    that,  upon the full, fair cash value of all property subject
16    to taxation within the district, as that property is assessed
17    or equalized by the Department of Revenue, will produce a net
18    amount of not less than the total amount so  directed  to  be
19    levied  and  then  add  on for collection loss and costs. The
20    county clerk shall extend this tax in a separate column  upon
21    the  books  of the collector of State and county taxes within
22    the district.
23        (e)  The secretary shall also file, on or before the last

25    and levy ordinances with the library or libraries operated by
26    the  district  and  shall  make  copies  available  to public
