Sec. 11-74.6-15. Municipal Powers and Duties. A municipality may:

(a) By ordinance introduced in the governing body of the municipality within 14 to 90 days from the final adjournment of the hearing specified in Section 11-74.6-22, approve redevelopment plans and redevelopment projects, and designate redevelopment planning areas and redevelopment project areas pursuant to notice and hearing required by this Act. No redevelopment planning area or redevelopment project area shall be designated unless a plan and project are approved before the designation of the area and the area shall include only those parcels of real property and improvements on those parcels substantially benefited by the proposed redevelopment project improvements. Upon adoption of the ordinances, the municipality shall forthwith transmit to the county clerk of the county or counties within which the redevelopment project area is located a certified copy of the ordinances, a legal description of the redevelopment project area, a map of the redevelopment project area, identification of the year that the county clerk shall use for determining the total initial equalized assessed value of the redevelopment project area consistent with subsection (a) of Section 11-74.6-40, and a list of the parcel or tax identification number of each parcel of property included in the redevelopment project area.

(b) Make and enter into all contracts necessary or incidental to the implementation and furtherance of its redevelopment plan and project.

(c) Within a redevelopment project area, acquire by purchase, donation, lease or eminent domain; own, convey, lease, mortgage or dispose of land and other property, real or personal, or rights or interests therein, and grant or acquire licenses, easements and options with respect to that property, all in the manner and at a price that the municipality determines is reasonably necessary to achieve the objectives of the redevelopment plan and project. No conveyance, lease, mortgage, disposition of land or other property owned by a municipality, or agreement relating to the development of the municipal property shall be made or executed except pursuant to prior official action of the corporate authorities of the municipality. No conveyance, lease, mortgage, or other disposition of land owned by a municipality, and no agreement relating to the development of the municipal property, shall be made without making public disclosure of the terms and the disposition of all bids and proposals submitted to the municipality in connection therewith. The procedures for obtaining the bids and proposals shall provide reasonable opportunity for any person to submit alternative proposals or bids.

(d) Within a redevelopment project area, clear any area by demolition or removal of any existing buildings, structures, fixtures, utilities or improvements, and to clear and grade land.

(e) Within a redevelopment project area, renovate or rehabilitate or construct any structure or building, as permitted under this Law.

(f) Within or without a redevelopment project area, install, repair, construct, reconstruct or relocate streets, utilities and site improvements essential to the preparation of the redevelopment area for use in accordance with a redevelopment plan.

(h) Issue obligations as provided in this Act.

(i) Accept grants, guarantees and donations of property, labor, or other things of value from a public or private source for use within a project redevelopment area.

(j) Acquire and construct public facilities within a redevelopment project area, as permitted under this Law.

(k) Incur, pay or cause to be paid redevelopment project costs; provided, however, that on and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, no municipality shall incur redevelopment project costs (except for planning and other eligible costs authorized by municipal ordinance or resolution that are subsequently included in the redevelopment plan for the area and are incurred after the ordinance or resolution is adopted) that are not consistent with the program for accomplishing the objectives of the redevelopment plan as included in that plan and approved by the municipality until the municipality has amended the redevelopment plan as provided elsewhere in this Law. Any payments to be made by the municipality to redevelopers or other nongovernmental persons for redevelopment project costs incurred by such redeveloper or other nongovernmental person shall be made only pursuant to the prior official action of the municipality evidencing an intent to pay or cause to be paid such redevelopment project costs. A municipality is not required to obtain any right, title or interest in any real or personal property in order to pay redevelopment project costs associated with such property. The municipality shall adopt such accounting procedures as may be necessary to determine that such redevelopment project costs are properly paid.

(l) Create a commission of not less than 5 or more than 15 persons to be appointed by the mayor or president of the municipality with the consent of the majority of the governing board of the municipality. Members of a commission appointed after the effective date of this Law shall be appointed for initial terms of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, respectively, in numbers so that the terms of not more than 1/3 of all members expire in any one year. Their successors shall be appointed for a term of 5 years. The commission, subject to approval of the corporate authorities of the municipality, may exercise the powers enumerated in this Section. The commission shall also have the power to hold the public hearings required by this Act and make recommendations to the corporate authorities concerning the adoption of redevelopment plans, redevelopment projects and designation of redevelopment project areas.

(m) Make payment in lieu of all or a portion of real property taxes due to taxing districts. If payments in lieu of all or a portion of taxes are made to taxing districts, those payments shall be made to all districts within a redevelopment project area on a basis that is proportional to the current collection of revenue which each taxing district receives from real property in the redevelopment project area.

(n) Exercise any and all other powers necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Act.

(o) In conjunction with other municipalities, undertake and perform redevelopment plans and projects and utilize the provisions of the Act wherever they have contiguous redevelopment project areas or they determine to adopt tax increment allocation financing with respect to a redevelopment project area that includes contiguous real property within the boundaries of the municipalities, and, by agreement between participating municipalities, to issue obligations, separately or jointly, and expend revenues received under this Act for eligible expenses anywhere within contiguous redevelopment project areas or as otherwise permitted in the Act. Two or more municipalities may designate a joint redevelopment project area under this subsection (o) for a single Industrial Park Conservation Area comprising of property within or near the boundaries of each municipality if: (i) both municipalities are located within the same Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget, (ii) the 4-year average unemployment rate for that Metropolitan Statistical Area was at least 11.3%, and (iii) at least one participating municipality demonstrates that it has made commitments to acquire capital assets to commence the project and that the acquisition will occur on or before December 31, 2011.

The members of that Committee shall be appointed for initial terms of 1, 2, and 3 years respectively, in numbers so that the terms of not more than 1/3 of all members expire in any one year. Their successors shall be appointed for a term of 3 years. The Committee shall have none of the powers enumerated in this Section. The Committee shall serve in an advisory capacity only. The Committee may advise the governing board of the municipality and other municipal officials regarding development issues and opportunities within the redevelopment project area. The Committee may also promote and publicize development opportunities in the redevelopment project area.

(q) If a redevelopment project has not been initiated in a redevelopment project area within 5 years after the area was designated by ordinance under subsection (a), the municipality shall adopt an ordinance repealing the area's designation as a redevelopment project area. Initiation of a redevelopment project shall be evidenced by either a signed redevelopment agreement or expenditures on eligible redevelopment project costs associated with a redevelopment project.
