(from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-168)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 5-168. Financing.
|
| 8 |
| (a) Except as expressly provided in this Section, the city |
| 9 |
| shall levy a
tax annually upon all taxable property therein for |
| 10 |
| the purpose of providing
revenue for the fund.
|
| 11 |
| The tax shall be at a rate that will produce a sum which, |
| 12 |
| when added to the
amounts deducted from the policemen's |
| 13 |
| salaries and the amounts deposited in
accordance with |
| 14 |
| subsection (g), is sufficient for the purposes of the fund.
|
| 15 |
| For the years 1968 and 1969, the city council shall levy a |
| 16 |
| tax
annually at a rate on the dollar of the assessed
valuation |
| 17 |
| of all taxable property that will produce, when extended, not
|
| 18 |
| to exceed $9,700,000. Beginning with the year 1970 and each |
| 19 |
| year
thereafter the city council shall levy a tax annually at a |
| 20 |
| rate on the
dollar of the assessed valuation of all taxable |
| 21 |
| property that will
produce when extended an amount not to |
| 22 |
| exceed the total amount of
contributions by the policemen to |
| 23 |
| the Fund made in the calendar year 2
years before the year for |
| 24 |
| which the applicable annual tax is levied,
multiplied by 1.40 |
| 25 |
| for the tax levy year 1970; by 1.50 for the year
1971; by 1.65 |
| 26 |
| for 1972; by 1.85 for 1973; by 1.90 for 1974; by 1.97 for
1975 |
| 27 |
| through 1981; by 2.00 for 1982 through 2005; and by 2.26 for |
| 28 |
| 2006 and each year thereafter.
|
| 29 |
| (b) The tax shall be levied and collected in like manner |
| 30 |
| with the
general taxes of the city, and is in addition to all |
| 31 |
| other taxes which the
city is now or may hereafter be |
| 32 |
| authorized to levy upon all taxable property
therein, and is |

|
|
| 1 |
| exclusive of and in addition to the amount of tax the city is
|
| 2 |
| now or may hereafter be authorized to levy for general purposes |
| 3 |
| under any
law which may limit the amount of tax which the city |
| 4 |
| may levy for general
purposes. The county clerk of the county |
| 5 |
| in which the city is located, in
reducing tax levies under |
| 6 |
| Section 8-3-1 of the Illinois
Municipal Code, shall not |
| 7 |
| consider the tax herein authorized as a part
of the general tax |
| 8 |
| levy for city purposes, and shall not include the tax
in any |
| 9 |
| limitation of the percent of the assessed valuation upon which
|
| 10 |
| taxes are required to be extended for the city.
|
| 11 |
| (c) On or before January 10 of each year, the board shall |
| 12 |
| notify the
city council of the requirement that the tax herein |
| 13 |
| authorized be levied by
the city council for that current year. |
| 14 |
| The board shall compute the
amounts necessary for the purposes |
| 15 |
| of this fund to be credited to the
reserves established and |
| 16 |
| maintained within the fund; shall make an
annual determination |
| 17 |
| of the amount of the required city contributions;
and shall |
| 18 |
| certify the results thereof to the city council.
|
| 19 |
| As soon as any revenue derived from the tax is collected it |
| 20 |
| shall be
paid to the city treasurer of the city and shall be |
| 21 |
| held by him for the
benefit of the fund in accordance with this |
| 22 |
| Article.
|
| 23 |
| (d) If the funds available are insufficient during any year |
| 24 |
| to meet the
requirements of this Article, the city may issue |
| 25 |
| tax anticipation warrants
against the tax levy for the current |
| 26 |
| fiscal year.
|
| 27 |
| (e) The various sums, including interest, to be contributed |
| 28 |
| by the city,
shall be taken from the revenue derived from such |
| 29 |
| tax or otherwise as expressly
provided in this Section. Any |
| 30 |
| moneys of the city derived from any source other
than the tax |
| 31 |
| herein authorized shall not be used for any purpose of the fund
|
| 32 |
| nor the cost of administration thereof, unless applied to make |
| 33 |
| the deposit
expressly authorized in this Section
or the |
| 34 |
| additional city contributions required under subsection (h).
|
| 35 |
| (f) If it is not possible or practicable for the city to |
| 36 |
| make its
contributions at the time that salary deductions are |
|
|
|

|
|
| 1 |
| made, the city
shall make such contributions as soon as |
| 2 |
| possible thereafter, with
interest thereon to the time it is |
| 3 |
| made.
|
| 4 |
| (g) In lieu of levying all or a portion of the tax required |
| 5 |
| under this
Section in any year, the city may deposit with the |
| 6 |
| city treasurer no later than
March 1 of that year for the |
| 7 |
| benefit of the fund, to be held in accordance with
this |
| 8 |
| Article, an amount that, together with the taxes levied under |
| 9 |
| this Section
for that year, is not less than the amount of the |
| 10 |
| city contributions for that
year as certified by the board to |
| 11 |
| the city council. The deposit may be derived
from any source |
| 12 |
| legally available for that purpose, including, but not limited
|
| 13 |
| to, the proceeds of city borrowings. The making of a deposit |
| 14 |
| shall satisfy
fully the requirements of this Section for that |
| 15 |
| year to the extent of the
amounts so deposited. Amounts |
| 16 |
| deposited under this subsection may be used by
the fund for any |
| 17 |
| of the purposes for which the proceeds of the tax levied under
|
| 18 |
| this Section may be used, including the payment of any amount |
| 19 |
| that is otherwise
required by this Article to be paid from the |
| 20 |
| proceeds of that tax.
|
| 21 |
| (h) In addition to the contributions required under the |
| 22 |
| other provisions
of this Article, by November 1 of the |
| 23 |
| following specified years, the city shall
deposit with the city |
| 24 |
| treasurer for the benefit of the fund, to be held and
used in |
| 25 |
| accordance with this Article, the following specified amounts:
|
| 26 |
| $6,300,000 in 1999;
$5,880,000 in 2000;
$5,460,000 in 2001;
|
| 27 |
| $5,040,000 in 2002; and
$4,620,000 in 2003.
|
| 28 |
| The additional city contributions required under this |
| 29 |
| subsection are
intended to decrease the unfunded liability of |
| 30 |
| the fund and shall not decrease
the amount of the city |
| 31 |
| contributions required under the other provisions of
this |
| 32 |
| Article. The additional city contributions made under this |
| 33 |
| subsection
may be used by the fund for any of its lawful |
| 34 |
| purposes.
