| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | AN ACT in relation to municipal government.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Sections 7-1-1 and 11-74.4-4 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (65 ILCS 5/7-1-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 7-1-1)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 7-1-1. Annexation of contiguous territory. Any | ||||||
8 | territory that is not within the corporate limits of any | ||||||
9 | municipality but
is contiguous to a municipality may be annexed | ||||||
10 | to the municipality as provided
in this Article. For the | ||||||
11 | purposes of this Article any territory to be annexed
to a | ||||||
12 | municipality shall be considered to be contiguous to the | ||||||
13 | municipality
notwithstanding that the territory is separated | ||||||
14 | from the municipality by a
strip parcel or railroad or public | ||||||
15 | utility right-of-way, but upon annexation the area included
| ||||||
16 | within that strip parcel or right-of-way shall not be | ||||||
17 | considered to be annexed to the
municipality. For purposes of | ||||||
18 | this Section, "strip parcel" means a separation no wider than | ||||||
19 | 30 feet between the territory to be annexed and the municipal | ||||||
20 | boundary.
| ||||||
21 | Except in counties with a population of more than
500,000
| ||||||
22 | but
less than 3,000,000, territory which is not contiguous to a | ||||||
23 | municipality but is
separated therefrom only by a forest | ||||||
24 | preserve district or open land or open space that is part of an | ||||||
25 | open space program, as defined in Section 115-5 of the Township | ||||||
26 | Code, may be annexed to the
municipality pursuant to Sections | ||||||
27 | 7-1-7 or 7-1-8, but
only if the annexing municipality can show | ||||||
28 | that the forest preserve district , open land, or open space
| ||||||
29 | creates an artificial barrier preventing the annexation and | ||||||
30 | that the location
of the forest preserve district , open land, | ||||||
31 | or open space property prevents the orderly natural growth of
| ||||||
32 | the annexing municipality. It shall be conclusively presumed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that the forest
preserve district , open land, or open space
| ||||||
2 | does not create an artificial barrier if the property sought
to | ||||||
3 | be annexed is bounded on at least 3 sides by (i) one or more | ||||||
4 | other
municipalities (other than the municipality seeking | ||||||
5 | annexation through the
existing forest preserve district , open | ||||||
6 | land, or open space ), (ii) forest preserve district property , | ||||||
7 | open land, or open space , or
(iii) a combination of other | ||||||
8 | municipalities and forest preserve district
property , open | ||||||
9 | land, or open space . It shall also be conclusively presumed | ||||||
10 | that the forest preserve
district , open land, or open space
| ||||||
11 | does not create an artificial barrier if the municipality | ||||||
12 | seeking
annexation is not the closest municipality to the | ||||||
13 | property to be annexed.
The territory included
within such | ||||||
14 | forest preserve district , open land, or open space shall not be | ||||||
15 | annexed to the municipality
nor shall the territory of the | ||||||
16 | forest preserve district , open land, or open space be subject | ||||||
17 | to
rights-of-way for access or services between the parts of | ||||||
18 | the municipality
separated by the forest preserve district , | ||||||
19 | open land, or open space without the consent of the governing
| ||||||
20 | body of the forest preserve district.
The changes made to this | ||||||
21 | Section by this amendatory Act of 91st General
Assembly are
| ||||||
22 | declaratory of existing law and shall not be construed as a new | ||||||
23 | enactment.
| ||||||
24 | In counties that are contiguous to the Mississippi River | ||||||
25 | with populations
of more than 200,000 but less than 255,000, a | ||||||
26 | municipality that is partially
located in territory that is | ||||||
27 | wholly surrounded by the Mississippi River and a
canal, | ||||||
28 | connected at both ends to the Mississippi River and located on | ||||||
29 | property
owned by the United States of America, may annex | ||||||
30 | noncontiguous territory in the
surrounded territory under | ||||||
31 | Sections 7-1-7, 7-1-8, or 7-1-9 if that territory is
separated | ||||||
32 | from the municipality by property owned by the United States of
| ||||||
33 | America, but that federal property shall not be annexed without | ||||||
34 | the consent of
the federal government.
| ||||||
35 | When any land proposed to be annexed is part of any Fire | ||||||
36 | Protection
District or of any Public Library District and the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | annexing
municipality provides fire protection or a public | ||||||
2 | library, as the case
may be, the Trustees of each District | ||||||
3 | shall be notified in writing by
certified or registered mail | ||||||
4 | before any court hearing or other action is
taken for | ||||||
5 | annexation. The notice shall be served 10 days in advance.
An | ||||||
6 | affidavit that service of notice has been had as provided by | ||||||
7 | this
Section must be filed with the clerk of the court in which | ||||||
8 | the
annexation proceedings are pending or will be instituted | ||||||
9 | or, when no
court proceedings are involved, with the recorder | ||||||
10 | for the
county where the land is situated. No annexation of | ||||||
11 | that land is
effective unless service is had and the affidavit | ||||||
12 | filed as provided in
this Section.
| ||||||
13 | The new boundary shall extend to the far side of any | ||||||
14 | adjacent highway
and shall include all of every highway within | ||||||
15 | the area annexed. These
highways shall be considered to be | ||||||
16 | annexed even though not included in
the legal description set | ||||||
17 | forth in the petition for annexation. When
any land proposed to | ||||||
18 | be annexed includes any highway under the
jurisdiction of any | ||||||
19 | township, the Township Commissioner of Highways and
the Board | ||||||
20 | of Town Trustees shall be notified in writing by certified or
| ||||||
21 | registered mail before any court hearing or other action is | ||||||
22 | taken for
annexation. In the event that a municipality fails to | ||||||
23 | notify the Township
Commissioner of Highways and the Board of | ||||||
24 | Town Trustees of the annexation
of an area within the township, | ||||||
25 | the municipality shall reimburse that
township for any loss or | ||||||
26 | liability caused by the failure to give
notice. If any | ||||||
27 | municipality has annexed any area before October 1,
1975, and | ||||||
28 | the legal description in the petition for annexation did not
| ||||||
29 | include the entire adjacent highway, any such annexation shall | ||||||
30 | be valid and any
highway adjacent to the area annexed shall be | ||||||
31 | considered to be annexed
notwithstanding the failure of the | ||||||
32 | petition to annex to include the
description of the entire | ||||||
33 | adjacent highway.
| ||||||
34 | Any annexation, disconnection and annexation, or | ||||||
35 | disconnection under
this Article of any territory must be | ||||||
36 | reported by certified or
registered mail by the corporate |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authority initiating the action to the
election authorities | ||||||
2 | having jurisdiction in the territory and the post
office | ||||||
3 | branches serving the territory within 30 days of the | ||||||
4 | annexation,
disconnection and annexation, or disconnection.
| ||||||
5 | Failure to give notice to the required election authorities | ||||||
6 | or
post office branches will not invalidate the annexation or
| ||||||
7 | disconnection. For purposes of this Section "election | ||||||
8 | authorities"
means the county clerk where the clerk acts as the | ||||||
9 | clerk of elections
or the clerk of the election commission | ||||||
10 | having jurisdiction.
| ||||||
11 | No annexation, disconnection and annexation, or | ||||||
12 | disconnection under
this Article of territory having electors | ||||||
13 | residing therein made (1)
before any primary election to be | ||||||
14 | held within the municipality
affected thereby and after the | ||||||
15 | time for filing petitions as a candidate
for nomination to any | ||||||
16 | office to be chosen at the primary election or (2) within
60 | ||||||
17 | days before any general election to be held within the | ||||||
18 | municipality shall be
effective until the day after the date of | ||||||
19 | the primary or general election, as
the case may be.
| ||||||
20 | For the purpose of this Section, a toll highway or | ||||||
21 | connection between
parcels via an overpass bridge over a toll | ||||||
22 | highway shall not be
considered a deterrent to the definition | ||||||
23 | of contiguous territory.
| ||||||
24 | When territory is proposed to be annexed
by court order | ||||||
25 | under this Article, the corporate
authorities or petitioners
| ||||||
26 | initiating the action shall notify each person who pays real | ||||||
27 | estate taxes on
property within that territory unless the | ||||||
28 | person is a petitioner. The notice
shall be served
by certified
| ||||||
29 | or registered mail, return receipt requested, at least 20 days | ||||||
30 | before a court
hearing or other court action.
If the person
who | ||||||
31 | pays real estate taxes on the property is not the owner of
| ||||||
32 | record, then the payor shall notify the owner of record of the | ||||||
33 | proposed
annexation.

| ||||||
32 | authorized by municipal ordinance or resolution that are | ||||||
33 | subsequently included
in the
redevelopment plan for the area | ||||||
34 | and are incurred by the municipality after the
ordinance or | ||||||
35 | resolution is adopted)
that are
not consistent with the program | ||||||
36 | for
accomplishing the objectives of the
redevelopment plan as |
| |||||||

of a redevelopment | ||||||
33 | plan, or project for a redevelopment project area or
proposed | ||||||
34 | redevelopment project area, as defined in Sections | ||||||
35 | 11-74.4-3(i)
through (k) of this Act, owns or controls an | ||||||
36 | interest, direct or indirect,
in any property included in any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | redevelopment area, or proposed
redevelopment area, he or she | ||||||
2 | shall disclose the same in writing to the
clerk of the | ||||||
3 | municipality, and shall also so disclose the dates and terms
| ||||||
4 | and conditions of any disposition of any such interest, which | ||||||
5 | disclosures
shall be acknowledged by the corporate authorities | ||||||
6 | and entered upon the
minute books of the corporate authorities. | ||||||
7 | If an individual
holds such an interest then that individual | ||||||
8 | shall refrain from any further
official involvement in regard | ||||||
9 | to such redevelopment plan, project or area,
from voting on any | ||||||
10 | matter pertaining to such redevelopment plan, project
or area, | ||||||
11 | or communicating with other members concerning corporate | ||||||

14 | Furthermore, no such member or employee shall acquire
of any | ||||||
15 | interest direct, or indirect, in any property in a | ||||||

knowledge of such plan, project or | ||||||
18 | area or (b) first public notice of such
plan, project or area | ||||||
19 | pursuant to Section 11-74.4-6 of this Division, whichever
| ||||||
20 | occurs first.
For the
purposes of this subsection, a property | ||||||
21 | interest
acquired in a
single parcel of property by a member of | ||||||
22 | the corporate authority, which
property
is used
exclusively as | ||||||
23 | the member's primary residence, shall not be deemed to
| ||||||
24 | constitute an
interest in any property included in a | ||||||
25 | redevelopment area or proposed
redevelopment area
that was | ||||||
26 | established before December 31, 1989, but the member must | ||||||
27 | disclose the
acquisition to the municipal clerk under the | ||||||
28 | provisions of this subsection.
For the purposes of this | ||||||
29 | subsection, a month-to-month leasehold interest
in a single | ||||||
30 | parcel of property by a member of the corporate authority
shall | ||||||
31 | not be deemed to constitute an interest in any property | ||||||
32 | included in any
redevelopment area or proposed redevelopment | ||||||
33 | area, but the member must disclose
the interest to the | ||||||
34 | municipal clerk under the provisions of this subsection.
| ||||||
35 | (o) Create a Tax Increment Economic Development Advisory | ||||||
36 | Committee to
be appointed by the Mayor or President of the |

which Committee shall | ||||||
3 | be appointed for initial terms of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
years | ||||||
4 | respectively, in such numbers as to provide that the terms of | ||||||
5 | not
more than 1/3 of all such members shall expire in any one | ||||||
6 | year. Their
successors shall be appointed for a term of 5 | ||||||
7 | years. The Committee shall
have none of the powers enumerated | ||||||
8 | in this Section. The Committee shall
serve in an advisory | ||||||
9 | capacity only. The Committee may advise the governing
Board of | ||||||
10 | the municipality and other municipal officials regarding
| ||||||
11 | development issues and opportunities within the redevelopment | ||||||
12 | project area
or the area within the State Sales Tax Boundary. | ||||||
13 | The Committee may also
promote and publicize development | ||||||
14 | opportunities in the redevelopment
project area or the area | ||||||
15 | within the State Sales Tax Boundary.
| ||||||
16 | (p) Municipalities may jointly undertake and perform | ||||||
17 | redevelopment plans
and projects and utilize the provisions of | ||||||
18 | the Act wherever they have
contiguous redevelopment project | ||||||
19 | areas or they determine to adopt tax
increment financing with | ||||||
20 | respect to a redevelopment project area which
includes | ||||||
21 | contiguous real property within the boundaries of the
| ||||||
22 | municipalities, and in doing so, they may, by agreement between
| ||||||
23 | municipalities, issue obligations, separately or jointly, and | ||||||
24 | expend
revenues received under the Act for eligible expenses | ||||||
25 | anywhere within
contiguous redevelopment project areas or as | ||||||
26 | otherwise permitted in the Act.
| ||||||
27 | (q) Utilize revenues, other than State sales tax increment | ||||||
28 | revenues,
received under this Act from one redevelopment | ||||||
29 | project area for
eligible
costs in another redevelopment | ||||||
30 | project area that is :
| ||||||
31 | (i)
either contiguous to the redevelopment project | ||||||
32 | area from which the revenues are received; | ||||||
33 | (ii)
, or
is separated only by a public right of way | ||||||
34 | from the redevelopment project area from which the revenues | ||||||
35 | are received; or | ||||||
36 | (iii) separated only by forest preserve property from , |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the redevelopment project
area from which the revenues are | ||||||
2 | received if the closest boundaries of the redevelopment | ||||||
3 | project areas that are separated by the forest preserve | ||||||
4 | property are less than one mile apart .
| ||||||
5 | Utilize tax increment revenues for eligible costs that are | ||||||
6 | received from a
redevelopment project area created under the | ||||||
7 | Industrial Jobs Recovery Law that
is either contiguous to, or | ||||||
8 | is separated only by a public right of way from,
the | ||||||
9 | redevelopment project area created under this Act which | ||||||
10 | initially receives
these revenues. Utilize revenues, other | ||||||
11 | than State sales tax increment
revenues, by transferring or | ||||||
12 | loaning such revenues to a redevelopment project
area created | ||||||
13 | under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law that is either | ||||||
14 | contiguous
to, or separated only by a public right of way from | ||||||
15 | the redevelopment project
area that initially produced and | ||||||
16 | received those revenues; and, if the
redevelopment
project area | ||||||
17 | (i) was established before the effective date of this | ||||||
18 | amendatory
Act of the 91st General Assembly and (ii) is located | ||||||
19 | within a municipality with
