An advanced state of SB1117 Engrossed -2- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 disrepair or neglect of necessary repairs to the 2 primary structural components of buildings or 3 improvements in such a combination that a documented 4 building condition analysis determines that major 5 repair is required or the defects are so serious and 6 so extensive that the buildings must be removed. 7 (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of 8 falling into disuse. Structures have become 9 ill-suited for the original use. 10 (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, 11 defects including, but not limited to, major defects 12 in the secondary building components such as doors, 13 windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and 14 fascia. With respect to surface improvements, that 15 the condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, 16 sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage 17 areas evidence deterioration, including, but not 18 limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, 19 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds 20 protruding through paved surfaces. 21 (D) Presence of structures below minimum code 22 standards.

The absence of adequate ventilation for 5 light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without 6 windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor, 7 gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials. 8 Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the 9 absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces 10 or rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by 11 room area to window area ratios. Inadequate 12 sanitary facilities refers to the absence or 13 inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure, 14 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and 15 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and 16 egress to and from all rooms and units within a 17 building. 18 (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and 19 overhead utilities such as storm sewers and storm 20 drainage, sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, 21 telephone, and electrical services that are shown to 22 be inadequate. Inadequate utilities are those that 23 are: (i) of insufficient capacity to serve the uses 24 in the redevelopment project area, (ii) 25 deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, 26 or (iii) lacking within the redevelopment project 27 area. 28 (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding 29 of structures and community facilities. The 30 over-intensive use of property and the crowding of 31 buildings and accessory facilities onto a site. 32 Examples of problem conditions warranting the 33 designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive 34 land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings SB1117 Engrossed -4- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 either improperly situated on parcels or located on 2 parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to 3 present-day standards of development for health and 4 safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings 5 on a single parcel. For there to be a finding of 6 excessive land coverage, these parcels must exhibit 7 one or more of the following conditions: 8 insufficient provision for light and air within or 9 around buildings, increased threat of spread of fire 10 due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of 11 adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, 12 lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or 13 inadequate provision for loading and service. 14 (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The 15 existence of incompatible land-use relationships, 16 buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or 17 uses considered to be noxious, offensive, or 18 unsuitable for the surrounding area. 19 (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed 20 redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois 21 Environmental Protection Agency or United States 22 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs 23 for, or a study conducted by an independent 24 consultant recognized as having expertise in 25 environmental remediation has determined a need for, 26 the clean-up of hazardous waste, hazardous 27 substances, or underground storage tanks required by 28 State or federal law, provided that the remediation 29 costs constitute a material impediment to the 30 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment 31 project area. 32 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed 33 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or 34 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. SB1117 Engrossed -5- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 This means that the development occurred prior to 2 the adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive 3 or other community plan or that the plan was not 4 followed at the time of the area's development. 5 This factor must be documented by evidence of 6 adverse or incompatible land-use relationships, 7 inadequate street layout, improper subdivision, 8 parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet 9 contemporary development standards, or other 10 evidence demonstrating an absence of effective 11 community planning. 12 (M) The total equalized assessed value of the 13 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 14 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in 15 which the redevelopment project area is designated 16 or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 17 the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 18 calendar years for which information is available or 19 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 20

which is 28 (i) present, with that presence documented, to a 29 meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably 30 find that the factor is clearly present within the intent 31 of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the 32 vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which it 33 pertains: 34 (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that SB1117 Engrossed -6- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 results in parcels of limited or narrow size or 2 configurations of parcels of irregular size or shape 3 that would be difficult to develop on a planned 4 basis and in a manner compatible with contemporary 5 standards and requirements, or platting that failed 6 to create rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or 7 that created inadequate right-of-way widths for 8 streets, alleys, or other public rights-of-way or 9 that omitted easements for public utilities. 10 (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of 11 vacant land sufficient in number to retard or impede 12 the ability to assemble the land for development. 13 (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies 14 exist or the property has been the subject of tax 15 sales under the Property Tax Code within the last 5 16 years. 17 (D) Deterioration of structures or site 18 improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the 19 vacant land. 20 (E) The area has incurred Illinois 21 Environmental Protection Agency or United States 22 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs 23 for, or a study conducted by an independent 24 consultant recognized as having expertise in 25 environmental remediation has determined a need for, 26 the clean-up of hazardous waste, hazardous 27 substances, or underground storage tanks required by 28 State or federal law, provided that the remediation 29 costs constitute a material impediment to the 30 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment 31 project area. 32 (F) The total equalized assessed value of the 33 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 34 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in SB1117 Engrossed -7- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 which the redevelopment project area is designated 2 or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 3 the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 4 calendar years for which information is available or 5 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 6 the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers 7 published by the United States Department of Labor 8 or successor agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar 9 years prior to the year in which the redevelopment 10 project area is designated. 11 (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the 12 redevelopment project area is impaired by one of the 13 following factors that (i) is present, with that presence 14 documented, to a meaningful extent so that a municipality 15 may reasonably find that the factor is clearly present 16 within the intent of the Act and (ii) is reasonably 17 distributed throughout the vacant part of the 18 redevelopment project area to which it pertains: 19 (A) The area consists of one or more unused 20 quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds. 21 (B) The area consists of unused railyards, 22 rail tracks, or railroad rights-of-way. 23 (C) The area, prior to its designation, is 24 subject to chronic flooding that adversely impacts 25 on real property in the area as certified by a 26 registered

SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 which is vacant (notwithstanding that the area has 2 been used for commercial agricultural purposes 3 within 5 years prior to the designation of the 4 redevelopment project area), and the area meets at 5 least one of the factors itemized in paragraph (1) 6 of this subsection, the area has been designated as 7 a town or village center by ordinance or 8 comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982, 9 and the area has not been developed for that 10 designated purpose. 11 (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved 12 area immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless 13 there has been substantial private investment in the 14 immediately surrounding area. 15 (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been 16 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted 17 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act 18 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth 19 in this Section prior to that date. 20 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means 21 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment 22 project area located within the territorial limits of the 23 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the 24 area have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not 25 yet a blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more 26 of the following factors is detrimental to the public safety, 27 health, morals or welfare and such an area may become a 28 blighted area: 29 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair 30 or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural 31 components of buildings or improvements in such a 32 combination that a documented building condition analysis 33 determines that major repair is required or the defects 34 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must SB1117 Engrossed -9- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 be removed. 2 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of 3 falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited 4 for the original use. 5 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, 6 defects including, but not limited to, major defects in 7 the secondary building components such as doors, windows, 8 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With 9 respect to surface improvements, that the condition of 10 roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street 11 parking, and surface storage areas evidence 12 deterioration, including, but not limited to, surface 13 cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving 14 material, and weeds protruding through paved surfaces. 15 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code 16 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards 17 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other 18 governmental codes applicable to property, but not 19 including housing and property maintenance codes. 20 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use 21 of structures in violation of applicable federal, State, 22 or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the 23 presence of structures below minimum code standards. 24 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings 25 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent 26 an adverse influence on the area because of the 27 frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies. 28 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary 29 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for 30 light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without 31 windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, 32 smoke, or other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate 33 natural light and ventilation means the absence or 34 inadequacy of skylights or windows for interior spaces or SB1117 Engrossed -10- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room area 2 to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities 3 refers to the absence or inadequacy of garbage storage 4 and enclosure, bathroom facilities, hot water and 5 kitchens, and structural inadequacies preventing ingress 6 and egress to and from all rooms and units within a 7 building. 8 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead 9 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, 10 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and 11 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate. 12 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of 13 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the 14 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, 15 antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking 16 within the redevelopment project area. 17 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of 18 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive 19 use of property and the crowding of buildings and 20 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem 21 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one 22 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of 23 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or 24 located on parcels of inadequate size and shape in 25 relation to present-day standards of development for 26 health and safety and the presence of multiple buildings 27 on a single parcel. For there to be a finding of 28 excessive land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one 29 or more of the following conditions: insufficient 30 provision for light and air within or around buildings, 31 increased threat of spread of fire due to the close 32 proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper access 33 to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably required 34 off-street parking, or inadequate provision for loading SB1117 Engrossed -11- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 and service. 2 (10) Deleterious land use or layout.

This 10 means that the development occurred prior to the adoption 11 by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community 12 plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the 13 area's development. This factor must be documented by 14 evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use 15 relationships, inadequate street layout, improper 16 subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet 17 contemporary development standards, or other evidence 18 demonstrating an absence of effective community planning. 19 (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental 20 Protection Agency or United States Environmental 21 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study 22 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as 23 having expertise in environmental remediation has 24 determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste, 25 hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks 26 required by State or federal law, provided that the 27 remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the 28 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project 29 area. 30 (13) The total equalized assessed value of the 31 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of 32 the last 5 calendar years for which information is 33 available or is increasing at an annual rate that is less 34 than the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 SB1117 Engrossed -12- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 calendar years for which information is available or is 2 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the 3 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by 4 the United States Department of Labor or successor agency 5 for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for which information 6 is available. 7 (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or 8 conservation area suitable for use by any manufacturing, 9 industrial, research or transportation enterprise, of 10 facilities to include but not be limited to factories, mills, 11 processing plants, assembly plants, packing plants, 12 fabricating plants, industrial distribution centers, 13 warehouses, repair overhaul or service facilities, freight 14 terminals, research facilities, test facilities or railroad 15 facilities. 16 (d) "Industrial park conservation area" means an area 17 within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located 18 within the territorial limits of a municipality that is a 19 labor surplus municipality or within 1 1/2 miles of the 20 territorial limits of a municipality that is a labor surplus 21 municipality if the area is annexed to the municipality; 22 which area is zoned as industrial no later than at the time 23 the municipality by ordinance designates the redevelopment 24 project area, and which area includes both vacant land 25 suitable for use as an industrial park and a blighted area or 26 conservation area contiguous to such vacant land. 27 (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in 28 which, at any time during the 6 months before the 29 municipality by ordinance designates an industrial park 30 conservation area, the unemployment rate was over 6% and was 31 also 100% or more of the national average unemployment rate 32 for that same time as published in the United States 33 Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics publication 34 entitled "The Employment Situation" or its successor SB1117 Engrossed -13- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 publication. For the purpose of this subsection, if 2 unemployment rate statistics for the municipality are not 3 available, the unemployment rate in the municipality shall be 4 deemed to be the same as the unemployment rate in the 5 principal county in which the municipality is located. 6 (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village or 7 incorporated town. 8 (g) "Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the amount of 9 taxes paid under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax 10 Act, Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the 11 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and the Municipal 12 Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and servicemen on 13 transactions at places located in a State Sales Tax Boundary 14 during the calendar year 1985. 15 (g-1) "Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the 16 amount of taxes paid under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, 17 Use Tax Act, Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax 18 Act, the Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and the 19 Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and 20 servicemen on transactions at places located within the State 21 Sales Tax Boundary revised pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8a(9) 22 of this Act. 23 (h) "Municipal Sales Tax Increment" means an amount 24 equal to the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid 25 to a municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising 26 from sales by retailers and servicemen within the 27 redevelopment project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as 28 the case may be, for as long as the redevelopment project 29 area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist 30 over and above the aggregate amount of taxes as certified by 31 the Illinois Department of Revenue and paid under the 32 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal 33 Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and servicemen, on 34 transactions at places of business located in the SB1117 Engrossed -14- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 redevelopment project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as 2 the case may be, during the base year which shall be the 3 calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the 4 municipality adopted tax increment allocation financing. For 5 purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes for 6 base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of Revenue 7 shall determine the Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such taxes 8 and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the aggregate 9 amount of taxes per year for each year the base year is prior 10 to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%. The 11 amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted Initial 12 Sales Tax Amounts". For purposes of determining the 13 Municipal Sales Tax Increment, the Department of Revenue 14 shall for each period subtract from the amount paid to the 15 municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising from 16 sales by retailers and servicemen on transactions located in 17 the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax 18 Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax 19 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the 20 Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal 21 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service 22 Occupation Tax Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this 23 calculation shall be made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 24 to determine the tax amounts received. For the State Fiscal 25 Year 1990, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the 26 period from January 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to 27 determine the tax amounts received from retailers and 28 servicemen pursuant to the Municipal Retailers' Occupation 29 Tax and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act, which shall 30 have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified 31 Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax 32 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as 33 appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991, this calculation 34 shall be made by utilizing the period from October 1, 1988, SB1117 Engrossed -15- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax amounts received from 2 retailers and servicemen pursuant to the Municipal Retailers' 3 Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act 4 which shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the 5 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales 6 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as 7 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the 8 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and 9 ending June 30 to determine the tax amounts received which 10 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax 11 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the 12 Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the case may be. 13 (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the 14 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Sales Tax 15 Increment annually generated within a State Sales Tax 16 Boundary; (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not 17 exceeding $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually 18 generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of 19 all amounts in excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax 20 Increment annually generated within a State Sales Tax 21 Boundary. If, however, a municipality established a tax 22 increment financing district in a county with a population in 23 excess of 3,000,000 before January 1, 1986, and the 24 municipality entered into a contract or issued bonds after 25 January 1, 1986, but before December 31, 1986, to finance 26 redevelopment project costs within a State Sales Tax 27 Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment means, for 28 the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1, 1991, 29 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment annually generated 30 within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and notwithstanding any 31 other provision of this Act, for those fiscal years the 32 Department of Revenue shall distribute to those 33 municipalities 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment 34 before any distribution to any other municipality and SB1117 Engrossed -16- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 regardless of whether or not those other municipalities will 2 receive 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For 3 Fiscal Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 4 2007, for any municipality that has not entered into a 5 contract or has not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to 6 finance redevelopment project costs within a State Sales Tax 7 Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be 8 calculated as follows: By multiplying the Net State Sales Tax 9 Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the 10 State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 11 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal 12 Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the 13 State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year 2006; 14 and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall be 15 made for State Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter. 16 Municipalities that issued bonds in connection with a 17 redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within 18 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991, or that 19 entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment 20 project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988, 21 shall continue to receive their proportional share of the 22 Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on 23 which the redevelopment project is completed or terminated, 24 or the date on which the bonds are retired or the contracts 25 are completed, whichever date occurs first.

The percentage of 75% shall 27 be substituted for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) 28 of paragraph (11). 29 (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by 30 subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as 31 modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding 32 any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, 33 the municipality may pay from tax increment revenues 34 up to 50% of the cost of construction of new housing SB1117 Engrossed -36- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 units to be occupied by low-income households and 2 very low-income households as defined in Section 3 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act.

If the low and very 18 low-income units are part of a residential 19 redevelopment project that includes units not 20 affordable to low and very low-income households, 21 only the low and very low-income units shall be 22 eligible for benefits under subparagraph (F) of 23 paragraph (11). The standards for maintaining the 24 occupancy by low-income households and very 25 low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of 26 the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units 27 constructed with eligible costs made available under 28 the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph 29 (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by 30 the municipality. The responsibility for annually 31 documenting the initial occupancy of the units by 32 low-income households and very low-income 33 households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois 34 Affordable Housing Act, shall be that of the then SB1117 Engrossed -37- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 current owner of the property. For ownership units, 2 the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for a 3 reasonable recapture of funds, or other appropriate 4 methods designed to preserve the original 5 affordability of the ownership units. For rental 6 units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, 7 for the affordability of rent to low and very 8 low-income households. As units become available, 9 they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. 10 The municipality may modify these guidelines from 11 time to time; the guidelines, however, shall be in 12 effect for as long as tax increment revenue is being 13 used to pay for costs associated with the units or 14 for the retirement of bonds issued to finance the 15 units or for the life of the redevelopment project 16 area, whichever is later. 17 (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located 18 within a municipality with a population of more than 19 100,000, the cost of day care services for children of 20 employees from low-income families working for businesses 21 located within the redevelopment project area and all or 22 a portion of the cost of operation of day care centers 23 established by redevelopment project area businesses to 24 serve employees from low-income families working in 25 businesses located in the redevelopment project area. 26 For the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families" 27 means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of 28 the municipal, county, or regional median income, 29 adjusted for family size, as the annual income and 30 municipal, county, or regional median income are 31 determined from time to time by the United States 32 Department of Housing and Urban Development. 33 (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of 34 construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not SB1117 Engrossed -38- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 be an eligible redevelopment project cost. 2 (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of 3 Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project 4 costs enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible 5 redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide 6 direct financial support to a retail entity initiating 7 operations in the redevelopment project area while 8 terminating operations at another Illinois location 9 within 10 miles of the redevelopment project area but 10 outside the boundaries of the redevelopment project area 11 municipality. For purposes of this paragraph, 12 termination means a closing of a retail operation that is 13 directly related to the opening of the same operation or 14 like retail entity owned or operated by more than 50% of 15 the original ownership in a redevelopment project area, 16 but it does not mean closing an operation for reasons 17 beyond the control of the retail entity, as documented by 18 the retail entity, subject to a reasonable finding by the 19 municipality that the current location contained 20 inadequate space, had become economically obsolete, or 21 was no longer a viable location for the retailer or 22 serviceman. 23 If a special service area has been established pursuant 24 to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area 25 Tax Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax 26 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or 27 Special Service Area Tax Law may be used within the 28 redevelopment project area for the purposes permitted by that 29 Act or Law as well as the purposes permitted by this Act. 30 (r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment 31 project area or the amended redevelopment project area 32 boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of 33 Section 11-74.4-8a of this Act. The Department of Revenue 34 shall certify pursuant to subsection (9) of Section SB1117 Engrossed -39- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 11-74.4-8a the appropriate boundaries eligible for the 2 determination of State Sales Tax Increment. 3 (s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to 4 the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by 5 retailers and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen 6 subject to the Public Utilities Act, on transactions at 7 places of business located within a State Sales Tax Boundary 8 pursuant to the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax 9 Act, the Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax 10 Act, except such portion of such increase that is paid into 11 the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local 12 Government Distributive Fund, the Local Government Tax 13 Fund and the County and Mass Transit District Fund, for as 14 long as State participation exists, over and above the 15 Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts 16 or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such taxes as 17 certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under those 18 Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at places of 19 business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary during 20 the base year which shall be the calendar year immediately 21 prior to the year in which the municipality adopted tax 22 increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts 23 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax 24 Act and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax 25 Act, which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of 26 Revenue to cover its costs of administering and enforcing 27 this Section. For purposes of computing the aggregate amount 28 of such taxes for base years occurring prior to 1985, the 29 Department of Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax 30 Amount for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 31 4% of the aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year 32 the base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total 33 deduction of 12%. The amount so determined shall be known as 34 the "Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amount". For purposes of SB1117 Engrossed -40- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 determining the State Sales Tax Increment the Department of 2 Revenue shall for each period subtract from the tax amounts 3 received from retailers and servicemen on transactions 4 located in the State Sales Tax Boundary, the certified 5 Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts 6 or Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Retailers' 7 Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act 8 and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For the State Fiscal 9 Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by utilizing the 10 calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts received. For 11 the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation shall be made by 12 utilizing the period from January 1, 1988, until September 13 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received from 14 retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted therefrom 15 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, 16 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial 17 Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 18 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period 19 from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine the 20 tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which 21 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified 22 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax 23 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as 24 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the 25 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and 26 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received 27 which shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial 28 Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the 29 Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending 30 to receive a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must 31 report a list of retailers to the Department of Revenue by 32 October 31, 1988 and by July 31, of each year thereafter. 33 (t) "Taxing districts" means counties, townships, cities 34 and incorporated towns and villages, school, road, park, SB1117 Engrossed -41- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health, 2 fire protection, river conservancy, tuberculosis sanitarium 3 and any other municipal corporations or districts with the 4 power to levy taxes. 5 (u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs 6 of taxing districts for capital improvements that are found 7 by the municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and 8 directly result from the redevelopment project. 9 (v) As used in subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-3 of 10 this Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of 11 parcels of real property without industrial, commercial, and 12 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial 13 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation 14 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is 15 included in an industrial park conservation area or the 16 parcel has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was 17 part of a larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more 18 smaller tracts that were accepted for recording during the 19 period from 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to 20 have been subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the 21 municipality taken in that connection with respect to any 22 previously approved or designated redevelopment project area 23 or amended redevelopment project area are hereby validated 24 and hereby declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes 25 of this Act. For purposes of this Section and only for land 26 subject to the subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land 27 is subdivided when the original plat of the proposed 28 Redevelopment Project Area or relevant portion thereof has 29 been properly certified, acknowledged, approved, and recorded 30 or filed in accordance with the Plat Act and a preliminary 31 plat, if any, for any subsequent phases of the proposed 32 Redevelopment Project Area or relevant portion thereof has 33 been properly approved and filed in accordance with the 34 applicable ordinance of the municipality. SB1117 Engrossed -42- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 (w) "Annual Total Increment" means the sum of each 2 municipality's annual Net Sales Tax Increment and each 3 municipality's annual Net Utility Tax Increment. The ratio 4 of the Annual Total Increment of each municipality to the 5 Annual Total Increment for all municipalities, as most 6 recently calculated by the Department, shall determine the 7 proportional shares of the Illinois Tax Increment Fund to be 8 distributed to each municipality. 9 (Source: P.A. 90-379, eff. 8-14-97; 91-261, eff. 7-23-99; 10 91-477, eff. 8-11-99; 91-478, eff. 11-1-99; 91-642, eff. 11 8-20-99; 91-763, eff. 6-9-00) 12 (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-7) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-7) 13 Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax 14 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the 15 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for 16 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so 17 issued, shall be retired in the manner provided in the 18 ordinance authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the 19 receipts of taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 20 against the taxable property included in the area, by 21 revenues as specified by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue 22 designated by the municipality. A municipality may in the 23 ordinance pledge all or any part of the funds in and to be 24 deposited in the special tax allocation fund created pursuant 25 to Section 11-74.4-8 to the payment of the redevelopment 26 project costs and obligations. Any pledge of funds in the 27 special tax allocation fund shall provide for distribution to 28 the taxing districts and to the Illinois Department of 29 Revenue of moneys not required, pledged, earmarked, or 30 otherwise designated for payment and securing of the 31 obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs and 32 such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed to 33 be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies SB1117 Engrossed -43- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax 2 allocation fund for the payment or securing of anticipated 3 redevelopment project costs or of obligations, any such funds 4 remaining in the special tax allocation fund after complying 5 with the requirements of the application or pledge, shall 6 also be calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All 7 surplus funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be 8 distributed annually within 180 days after the close of the 9 municipality's fiscal year by being paid by the municipal 10 treasurer to the County Collector, to the Department of 11 Revenue and to the municipality in direct proportion to the 12 tax incremental revenue received as a result of an increase 13 in the equalized assessed value of property in the 14 redevelopment project area, tax incremental revenue received 15 from the State and tax incremental revenue received from the 16 municipality, but not to exceed as to each such source the 17 total incremental revenue received from that source. The 18 County Collector shall thereafter make distribution to the 19 respective taxing districts in the same manner and proportion 20 as the most recent distribution by the county collector to 21 the affected districts of real property taxes from real 22 property in the redevelopment project area. 23 Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the 24 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the 25 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater 26 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such 27 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a) 28 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b) 29 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the 30 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the 31 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the 32 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated 33 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge. 34 Such obligations may be issued in one or more series SB1117 Engrossed -44- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate 2 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance. 3 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at 4 such time or times not exceeding 20 years from their 5 respective dates, be in such denomination, carry such 6 registration privileges, be executed in such manner, be 7 payable in such medium of payment at such place or places, 8 contain such covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject 9 to redemption as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations 10 issued pursuant to this Act may be sold at public or private 11 sale at such price as shall be determined by the corporate 12 authorities of the municipalities. No referendum approval of 13 the electors shall be required as a condition to the issuance 14 of obligations pursuant to this Division except as provided 15 in this Section. 16 In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of 17 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division 18 secured by the full faith and credit of the municipality, 19 which obligations are other than obligations which may be 20 issued under home rule powers provided by Article VII, 21 Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes 22 pursuant to (b) or (c) of the second paragraph of this 23 section, the ordinance authorizing the issuance of such 24 obligations or pledging such taxes shall be published within 25 10 days after such ordinance has been passed in one or more 26 newspapers, with general circulation within such 27 municipality. The publication of the ordinance shall be 28 accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific number of voters 29 required to sign a petition requesting the question of the 30 issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes to be 31 submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such 32 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective 33 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition 34 form to any individual requesting one. SB1117 Engrossed -45- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as 2 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after 3 the publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in 4 effect. But, if within that 30 day period a petition is 5 filed with the municipal clerk, signed by electors in the 6 municipality numbering 10% or more of the number of 7 registered voters in the municipality, asking that the 8 question of issuing obligations using full faith and credit 9 of the municipality as security for the cost of paying for 10 redevelopment project costs, or of pledging taxes for the 11 payment of such obligations, or both, be submitted to the 12 electors of the municipality, the corporate authorities of 13 the municipality shall call a special election in the manner 14 provided by law to vote upon that question, or, if a general, 15 State or municipal election is to be held within a period of 16 not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date such 17 petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next 18 general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the 19 canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a 20 majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor 21 thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority 22 of the electors voting upon the question are not in favor 23 thereof, the ordinance shall not take effect. 24 The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide 25 that the obligations shall contain a recital that they are 26 issued pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be 27 conclusive evidence of their validity and of the regularity 28 of their issuance. 29 In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of 30 obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full 31 faith and credit of the municipality, the ordinance 32 authorizing the obligations may provide for the levy and 33 collection of a direct annual tax upon all taxable property 34 within the municipality sufficient to pay the principal SB1117 Engrossed -46- SDS/92Abill0010/ARhs 1 thereof and interest thereon as it matures, which levy may be 2 in addition to and exclusive of the maximum of all other 3 taxes authorized to be levied by the municipality, which 4 levy, however, shall be abated to the extent that monies from 5 other sources are available for payment of the obligations 6 and the municipality certifies the amount of said monies 7 available to the county clerk. 8 A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with 9 the county clerk of each county in which any portion of the 10 municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority 11 for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited 12 in the special tax allocation fund. 13 A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund 14 in whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such 15 municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or 16 prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity 17 of the refunding obligations shall not be expressed to mature 18
