1    individual obtains knowledge of such plan, project or area
2    or (b) first public notice of such plan, project or area
3    pursuant to Section 11-74.4-6 of this Division, whichever

3    redevelopment project or area would be significantly
4    greater than the benefits to the municipality as a whole.
5    For the purposes of this subsection, a month-to-month
6    leasehold interest in a single parcel of property by a
7    member of the corporate authority shall not be deemed to
8    constitute an interest in any property included in any
9    redevelopment area or proposed redevelopment area, but the
10    member must disclose the interest to the municipal clerk
11    under the provisions of this subsection.
12        (o) Create a Tax Increment Economic Development
13    Advisory Committee to be appointed by the Mayor or
14    President of the municipality with the consent of the
15    majority of the governing board of the municipality, the

17    terms of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years respectively, in such
18    numbers as to provide that the terms of not more than 1/3
19    of all such members shall expire in any one year. Their

2    publicize development opportunities in the redevelopment
3    project area or the area within the State Sales Tax
4    Boundary.
5        (p) Municipalities may jointly undertake and perform
6    redevelopment plans and projects and utilize the
7    provisions of the Act wherever they have contiguous
8    redevelopment project areas or they determine to adopt tax
9    increment financing with respect to a redevelopment
10    project area which includes contiguous real property
11    within the boundaries of the municipalities, and in doing
12    so, they may, by agreement between municipalities, issue
13    obligations, separately or jointly, and expend revenues
14    received under the Act for eligible expenses anywhere
15    within contiguous redevelopment project areas or as
16    otherwise permitted in the Act. With respect to
17    redevelopment project areas that are established within a
18    transit facility improvement area, the provisions of this
19    subsection apply only with respect to such redevelopment
20    project areas that are contiguous to each other.
21        (q) Utilize revenues, other than State sales tax
22    increment revenues, received under this Act from one
23    redevelopment project area for eligible costs in another
24    redevelopment project area that is:
25            (i) contiguous to the redevelopment project area
26        from which the revenues are received;

 

 

10200SB0658ham004- 44 -LRB102 11452 AWJ 38824 a

2        the redevelopment project area from which the revenues
3        are received; or
4            (iii) separated only by forest preserve property
5        from the redevelopment project area from which the
6        revenues are received if the closest boundaries of the
7        redevelopment project areas that are separated by the
8        forest preserve property are less than one mile apart.
9        Utilize tax increment revenues for eligible costs that
10    are received from a redevelopment project area created
11    under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law that is either
12    contiguous to, or is separated only by a public right of
13    way from, the redevelopment project area created under
14    this Act which initially receives these revenues. Utilize
15    revenues, other than State sales tax increment revenues,
16    by transferring or loaning such revenues to a
17    redevelopment project area created under the Industrial
18    Jobs Recovery Law that is either contiguous to, or
19    separated only by a public right of way from the
20    redevelopment project area that initially produced and
21    received those revenues; and, if the redevelopment project
22    area (i) was established before the effective date of this
23    amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly and (ii) is
24    located within a municipality with a population of more
25    than 100,000, utilize revenues or proceeds of obligations
26    authorized by Section 11-74.4-7 of this Act, other than

 

 

10200SB0658ham004- 45 -LRB102 11452 AWJ 38824 a

1    use or occupation tax revenues, to pay for any
2    redevelopment project costs as defined by subsection (q)
3    of Section 11-74.4-3 to the extent that the redevelopment
4    project costs involve public property that is either
5    contiguous to, or separated only by a public right of way
6    from, a redevelopment project area whether or not
7    redevelopment project costs or the source of payment for
8    the costs are specifically set forth in the redevelopment
9    plan for the redevelopment project area.
10        (r) If no redevelopment project has been initiated in
11    a redevelopment project area within 7 years after the area
12    was designated by ordinance under subsection (a), the
13    municipality shall adopt an ordinance repealing the area's
14    designation as a redevelopment project area; provided,
15    however, that if an area received its designation more
16    than 3 years before the effective date of this amendatory
17    Act of 1994 and no redevelopment project has been
18    initiated within 4 years after the effective date of this
19    amendatory Act of 1994, the municipality shall adopt an
20    ordinance repealing its designation as a redevelopment
21    project area. Initiation of a redevelopment project shall
22    be evidenced by either a signed redevelopment agreement or
23    expenditures on eligible redevelopment project costs
24    associated with a redevelopment project.
25        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to
26    the contrary, with respect to a redevelopment project area

1    designated by an ordinance that was adopted on July 29,
2    1998 by the City of Chicago, the City of Chicago shall
3    adopt an ordinance repealing the area's designation as a
4    redevelopment project area if no redevelopment project has
5    been initiated in the redevelopment project area within 15
6    years after the designation of the area. The City of
7    Chicago may retroactively repeal any ordinance adopted by
8    the City of Chicago, pursuant to this subsection (r), that
9    repealed the designation of a redevelopment project area
10    designated by an ordinance that was adopted by the City of
11    Chicago on July 29, 1998. The City of Chicago has 90 days
12    after the effective date of this amendatory Act to repeal
13    the ordinance. The changes to this Section made by this
14    amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly apply
15    retroactively to July 27, 2005.
16        (s) The various powers and duties described in this
17    Section that apply to a redevelopment project area shall
18    also apply to a transit facility improvement area
19    established prior to, on, or after the effective date of
20    this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
