1     AN ACT concerning revenue.
 
2     WHEREAS, A wind energy Act that provides for a restoration
3 indemnity fund, and mechanic's lien clarification will provide
4 a favorable environmental and economic climate for development
5 of wind energy; and
6     WHEREAS, It is desirable to develop both renewable and
7 alternative energy resources to obtain environmental quality
8 and public health benefit; and
9     WHEREAS, The benefits of electricity from renewable and
10 alternative energy resources accrue to the public at large,
11 thus consumers and electric utilities and alternative retail
12 electric suppliers share an interest in developing and using a
13 significant level of these environmentally preferable
14 resources in the State's electricity supply portfolio and
15 stability of taxes for extended periods of time; and
16     WHEREAS, Encouraging energy efficiency will improve the
17 environmental quality and public health in the State of
18 Illinois; and
19     WHEREAS, Wind energy is one alternative energy source that
20 can be used to provide electricity to utility consumers; and
21     WHEREAS, Some regions in the State are ideal locations for
22 wind energy system development; and
23     WHEREAS, As the facilities are typically constructed on
24 property owned by others, it is desirable to create an
25 indemnity fund to pay for deconstruction in the event that the
26 wind energy company fails to do so in a timely manner; and

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 2 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     WHEREAS, It is appropriate to protect the owners of the
2 underlying lands from mechanic's liens imposed on those lands
3 in the event the entities constructing the wind energy
4 facilities fail to pay suppliers of labor and materials;
5 therefore, be it
 
6
7     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
8 represented in the General Assembly:
 
9     Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
10 changing Sections 11-15.1-2.1, 11-74.4-3, and 11-74.4-7 as

15     (a) Property that is the subject of an annexation agreement
16 adopted under this Division is subject to the ordinances,
17 control, and jurisdiction of the annexing municipality in all
18 respects the same as property that lies within the annexing
19 municipality's corporate limits.
20     (b) This Section shall not apply in (i) a county with a
21 population of more than 3,000,000, (ii) a county that borders a

1 1990 federal census and bordered by the Mississippi River,
2 unless the parties to the annexation agreement have, at the
3 time the agreement is signed, ownership or control of all
4 property that would make the property that is the subject of
5 the agreement contiguous to the annexing municipality, in which
6 case the property that is the subject of the annexation
7 agreement is subject to the ordinances, control, and
8 jurisdiction of the municipality in all respects the same as
9 property owned by the municipality that lies within its
10 corporate limits.
11     (c) The limitations of item (iii) of subsection (b) do not
12 apply to property that is the subject of an annexation
13 agreement adopted under this Division within one year after the
14 effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General
15 Assembly with a coterminous home rule municipality, as of June
16 1, 2007, that borders the Mississippi River, in a county with a

22     (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-3)
23     Sec. 11-74.4-3. Definitions. The following terms, wherever
24 used or referred to in this Division 74.4 shall have the
25 following respective meanings, unless in any case a different

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 4 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1 meaning clearly appears from the context.
2     (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been
3 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
4 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
5 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in
6 this Section prior to that date.
7     On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any
8 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a
9 redevelopment project area located within the territorial
10 limits of the municipality where:
11         (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and
12     residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
13     the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
14     combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each of
15     which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to a
16     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
17     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
18     of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
19     improved part of the redevelopment project area:
20             (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair
21         or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary
22         structural components of buildings or improvements in
23         such a combination that a documented building
24         condition analysis determines that major repair is
25         required or the defects are so serious and so extensive
26         that the buildings must be removed.

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 5 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1             (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
2         falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited
3         for the original use.
4             (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings,
5         defects including, but not limited to, major defects in
6         the secondary building components such as doors,
7         windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia.
8         With respect to surface improvements, that the
9         condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters,
10         sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage
11         areas evidence deterioration, including, but not
12         limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
13         depressions, loose paving material, and weeds
14         protruding through paved surfaces.
15             (D) Presence of structures below minimum code
16         standards. All structures that do not meet the
17         standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and
18         other governmental codes applicable to property, but
19         not including housing and property maintenance codes.
20             (E) Illegal use of individual structures. The use
21         of structures in violation of applicable federal,
22         State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to
23         the presence of structures below minimum code
24         standards.
25             (F) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
26         that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 6 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         represent an adverse influence on the area because of
2         the frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies.
3             (G) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
4         facilities. 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 or
10         rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room
11         area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary
12         facilities refers to the absence or inadequacy of
13         garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom facilities,
14         hot water and kitchens, and structural inadequacies
15         preventing ingress and egress to and from all rooms and
16         units within a building.
17             (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
18         utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
19         sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
20         electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
21         Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
22         insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
23         redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
24         antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
25         lacking within the redevelopment project area.
26             (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 7 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         structures and community facilities. The
2         over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
3         buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
4         Examples of problem conditions warranting the
5         designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive land
6         coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings either
7         improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
8         inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
9         standards of development for health and safety and (ii)
10         the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
11         For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
12         these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
13         conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
14         within or around buildings, increased threat of spread
15         of fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack
16         of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
17         lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or
18         inadequate provision for loading and service.
19             (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
20         of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
21         occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
22         considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
23         the surrounding area.
24             (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
25         redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
26         Environmental Protection Agency or United States

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 8 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
2         or a study conducted by an independent consultant
3         recognized as having expertise in environmental
4         remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
5         hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
6         storage tanks required by State or federal law,
7         provided that the remediation costs constitute a
8         material impediment to the development or
9         redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
10             (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
11         redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
12         without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
13         This means that the development occurred prior to the
14         adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
15         other community plan or that the plan was not followed
16         at the time of the area's development. This factor must
17         be documented by evidence of adverse or incompatible
18         land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
19         improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and
20         size to meet contemporary development standards, or
21         other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
22         community planning.
23             (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
24         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
25         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
26         the redevelopment project area is designated or is

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 9 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
2         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
3         calendar years for which information is available or is
4         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
5         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
6         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
7         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
8         year in which the redevelopment project area is
9         designated.
10         (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
11     project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
12     the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
13     that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
14     municipality may reasonably find that the factor is clearly
15     present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably
16     distributed throughout the vacant part of the
17     redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
18             (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
19         in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
20         of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
21         difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
22         compatible with contemporary standards and
23         requirements, or platting that failed to create
24         rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
25         inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
26         other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 10 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         for public utilities.
2             (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
3         land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
4         ability to assemble the land for development.
5             (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
6         or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
7         the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
8             (D) Deterioration of structures or site
9         improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
10         vacant land.
11             (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
12         Protection Agency or United States Environmental
13         Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
14         conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
15         having expertise in environmental remediation has
16         determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
17         hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
18         required by State or federal law, provided that the
19         remediation costs constitute a material impediment to
20         the development or redevelopment of the redevelopment
21         project area.
22             (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
23         proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
24         of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
25         the redevelopment project area is designated or is
26         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 11 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
2         calendar years for which information is available or is
3         increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
4         Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
5         by the United States Department of Labor or successor
6         agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
7         year in which the redevelopment project area is
8         designated.
9         (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
10     project area is impaired by one of the following factors
11     that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
12     meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
13     find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
14     of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
15     the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
16     it pertains:
17             (A) The area consists of one or more unused
18         quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
19             (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail
20         tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
21             (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
22         to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
23         property in the area as certified by a registered
24         professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
25         or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
26         part of the area and contributes to flooding within the

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 12 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         same watershed, but only if the redevelopment project
2         provides for facilities or improvements to contribute
3         to the alleviation of all or part of the flooding.
4             (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
5         disposal site containing earth, stone, building
6         debris, or similar materials that were removed from
7         construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
8             (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
9         than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
10         vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used for
11         commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years prior
12         to the designation of the redevelopment project area),
13         and the area meets at least one of the factors itemized
14         in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area has been
15         designated as a town or village center by ordinance or
16         comprehensive plan adopted prior to January 1, 1982,
17         and the area has not been developed for that designated
18         purpose.
19             (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
20         immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
21         been substantial private investment in the immediately
22         surrounding area.
23     (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
24 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
25 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
26 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 13 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1 in this Section prior to that date.
2     On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
3 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
4 project area located within the territorial limits of the
5 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
6 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
7 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
8 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
9 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
10         (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
11     neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
12     components of buildings or improvements in such a
13     combination that a documented building condition analysis
14     determines that major repair is required or the defects are
15     so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
16     removed.

25     alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
26     surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 14 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
2     depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding

9         (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
10     structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
11     local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
12     of structures below minimum code standards.
13         (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
14     that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent an
15     adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
16     extent, or duration of the vacancies.
17         (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
18     facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
19     or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
20     that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
21     other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
22     and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
23     skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
24     improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
25     area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
26     absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 15 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
2     structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
3     and from all rooms and units within a building.
4         (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
5     utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, sanitary
6     sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and electrical
7     services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate
8     utilities are those that are: (i) of insufficient capacity
9     to serve the uses in the redevelopment project area, (ii)
10     deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or
11     (iii) lacking within the redevelopment project area.
12         (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
13     structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
14     use of property and the crowding of buildings and accessory
15     facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions
16     warranting the designation of an area as one exhibiting
17     excessive land coverage are: the presence of buildings
18     either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels
19     of inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day
20     standards of development for health and safety and the
21     presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel. For
22     there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these
23     parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
24     conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
25     within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
26     fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 16 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack of
2     reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
3     provision for loading and service.
4         (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
5     incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
6     inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
7     noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
8     area.
9         (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
10     redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
11     without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
12     means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
13     by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
14     plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
15     area's development. This factor must be documented by
16     evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
17     relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
18     subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
19     contemporary development standards, or other evidence
20     demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
21         (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
22     Protection Agency or United States Environmental
23     Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
24     conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
25     having expertise in environmental remediation has
26     determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 17 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
2     required by State or federal law, provided that the
3     remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
4     development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
5     area.
6         (13) The total equalized assessed value of the proposed
7     redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of the last 5
8     calendar years for which information is available or is
9     increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance
10     of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for
11     which information is available or is increasing at an
12     annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for
13     All Urban Consumers published by the United States
14     Department of Labor or successor agency for 3 of the last 5
15     calendar years for which information is available.
16     (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or
17 conservation area suitable for use by any manufacturing,
18 industrial, research or transportation enterprise, of
19 facilities to include but not be limited to factories, mills,
20 processing plants, assembly plants, packing plants,
21 fabricating plants, industrial distribution centers,
22 warehouses, repair overhaul or service facilities, freight
23 terminals, research facilities, test facilities or railroad

14 the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991 retires the
15 bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that entered
16 into contracts in connection with a redevelopment project in a
17 redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988 completes the
18 contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as the
19 redevelopment project is not completed or is not terminated,
20 the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be calculated,
21 beginning on the date on which the bonds are retired or the

24 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year
25 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State

3         However, for redevelopment project areas for which
4     bonds were issued before July 29, 1991, or for which
5     contracts were entered into before June 1, 1988, in
6     connection with a redevelopment project in the area within
7     the State Sales Tax Boundary, the estimated dates of
8     completion of the redevelopment project and retirement of
9     obligations to finance redevelopment project costs may be
10     extended by municipal ordinance to December 31, 2013. The
11     termination procedures of subsection (b) of Section
12     11-74.4-8 are not required for these redevelopment project
13     areas in 2009 but are required in 2013. The extension
14     allowed by this amendatory Act of 1993 shall not apply to
15     real property tax increment allocation financing under
16     Section 11-74.4-8.
17         A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
18     existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
19     (3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
20     ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
21     and without complying with the procedures provided in this
22     Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
23     of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
24     redevelopment project area.
25         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
26     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 36 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
2     redevelopment project areas that were adopted on or after
3     December 16, 1986 and for which at least $8 million worth
4     of municipal bonds were authorized on or after December 19,
5     1989 but before January 1, 1990; provided that the
6     municipality elects to extend the life of the redevelopment
7     project area to 35 years by the adoption of an ordinance
8     after at least 14 but not more than 30 days' written notice
9     to the taxing bodies, that would otherwise constitute the
10     joint review board for the redevelopment project area,
11     before the adoption of the ordinance.
12         Those dates, for purposes of real property tax
13     increment allocation financing pursuant to Section
14     11-74.4-8 only, shall be not more than 35 years for
15     redevelopment project areas that were established on or
16     after December 1, 1981 but before January 1, 1982 and for
17     which at least $1,500,000 worth of tax increment revenue
18     bonds were authorized on or after September 30, 1990 but
19     before July 1, 1991; provided that the municipality elects
20     to extend the life of the redevelopment project area to 35
21     years by the adoption of an ordinance after at least 14 but
22     not more than 30 days' written notice to the taxing bodies,
23     that would otherwise constitute the joint review board for
24     the redevelopment project area, before the adoption of the
25     ordinance.
26         (3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 37 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     industrial park conservation area, also that the
2     municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
3     implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
4     unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
5     facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
6     that extend into the redevelopment project area.
7         (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
8     under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
9     redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
10     January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
11     redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
12     developed without the use of such incremental revenues, and
13     (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
14     utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
15     area.
16         (5) If the redevelopment plan will not result in
17     displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
18     residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
19     plan that such displacement will not result from the plan,
20     a housing impact study need not be performed. If, however,
21     the redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
22     residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
23     if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
24     inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
25     then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
26     separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 38 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
2         Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
3     data as to whether the residential units are single family
4     or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
5     within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
6     whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
7     determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
8     ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
9     Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the racial
10     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
11     residential units. The data requirement as to the racial
12     and ethnic composition of the residents in the inhabited
13     residential units shall be deemed to be fully satisfied by
14     data from the most recent federal census.
15         Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
16     inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
17     project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
18     residential units are to be removed, then the housing
19     impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
20     those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
21     municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
22     residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
23     residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
24     replacement housing for those residents whose residences
25     are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
26     and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 39 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     relocation assistance to be provided.
2         (6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
3     study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
4     the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
5         (7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment
6     plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
7     shall residential housing that is occupied by households of
8     low-income and very low-income persons in currently
9     existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
10     November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
11     with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
12     removed for households of low-income and very low-income
13     persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
14     less than that which would be provided under the federal
15     Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
16     Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
17     that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
18     housing may be either existing or newly constructed
19     housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
20     households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
21     housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
22     Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
23     faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
24     located in or near the redevelopment project area within
25     the municipality.
26         (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 40 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
2     project area, any municipality desires to amend its
3     redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
4     units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
5     that change shall be made in accordance with the procedures
6     in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
7         (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior
8     to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended
9     without further joint review board meeting or hearing,
10     provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
11     such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and
12     registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
13     the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for
14     redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
15     (7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
16     paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3, so
17     long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
18     redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
19     plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
20     the date the plan was adopted.
21     (o) "Redevelopment project" means any public and private
22 development project in furtherance of the objectives of a
23 redevelopment plan. On and after November 1, 1999 (the

12 blighted area or a conservation area, or a combination of both
13 blighted areas and conservation areas.
14     (q) "Redevelopment project costs" mean and include the sum
15 total of all reasonable or necessary costs incurred or
16 estimated to be incurred, and any such costs incidental to a
17 redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project. Such costs
18 include, without limitation, the following:
19         (1) Costs of studies, surveys, development of plans,
20     and specifications, implementation and administration of
21     the redevelopment plan including but not limited to staff

3     engineering services, may be entered into if the terms of
4     the contract extend beyond a period of 3 years. In
5     addition, "redevelopment project costs" shall not include
6     lobbying expenses. After consultation with the
7     municipality, each tax increment consultant or advisor to a
8     municipality that plans to designate or has designated a

10     in writing of any contracts that the consultant or advisor
11     has entered into with entities or individuals that have
12     received, or are receiving, payments financed by tax
13     increment revenues produced by the redevelopment project
14     area with respect to which the consultant or advisor has
15     performed, or will be performing, service for the
16     municipality. This requirement shall be satisfied by the
17     consultant or advisor before the commencement of services
18     for the municipality and thereafter whenever any other
19     contracts with those individuals or entities are executed
20     by the consultant or advisor;
21         (1.5) After July 1, 1999, annual administrative costs
22     shall not include general overhead or administrative costs
23     of the municipality that would still have been incurred by
24     the municipality if the municipality had not designated a
25     redevelopment project area or approved a redevelopment
26     plan;

19     private investment;
20         (4) Costs of the construction of public works or

4     the new municipal building implements a redevelopment
5     project that was included in a redevelopment plan that was
6     adopted by the municipality prior to November 1, 1999 or
7     (ii) the municipality makes a reasonable determination in
8     the redevelopment plan, supported by information that
9     provides the basis for that determination, that the new

11     need for public safety purposes anticipated to result from
12     the implementation of the redevelopment plan;
13         (5) Costs of job training and retraining projects,

2     redevelopment project area for which the developer or
3     redeveloper receives financial assistance through an
4     agreement with the municipality or because the
5     municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure
6     improvements within the boundaries of the assisted housing
7     sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
8     authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
9     district by the municipality from the Special Tax
10     Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
11     as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
12     (7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
13     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
14     Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located
15     in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
16     Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
17     law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior voter
18     referendum.
19         The amount paid to a library district under this
20     paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
21     net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
22     library card in that district who reside in housing units
23     within the redevelopment project area that have received
24     financial assistance through an agreement with the
25     municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of
26     necessary infrastructure improvements within the

2     completion of that housing as authorized by this Act since
3     the designation of the redevelopment project area by (ii)
4     the per-patron cost of providing library services so long
5     as it does not exceed $120. The per-patron cost shall be
6     the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita as stated in
7     the most recent Illinois Public Library Statistics
8     produced by the Library Research Center at the University
9     of Illinois. The municipality may deduct from the amount
10     that it must pay to a library district under this paragraph
11     any amount that it has voluntarily paid to the library
12     district from the tax increment revenue. The amount paid to
13     a library district under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no
14     more than 2% of the amount produced by the assisted housing
15     units and deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
16         A library district is not eligible for any payment
17     under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
18     experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
19     municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
20     district since the designation of the redevelopment
21     project area.
22         Any library district seeking payment under this
23     paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September 30
24     of each year, provide the municipality with convincing
25     evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
26     municipality shall be required to approve or make the

1     payment to the library district. If the library district
2     fails to provide the information during this period in any
3     year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
4     year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
5     right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise
6     required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such
7     reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any
8     right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or
9     contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the
10     redevelopment project area or projects;
11         (8) Relocation costs to the extent that a municipality

18     vocational education or career education, including but
19     not limited to courses in occupational, semi-technical or
20     technical fields leading directly to employment, incurred
21     by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs
22     (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
23     additional job training, advanced vocational education or
24     career education programs for persons employed or to be
25     employed by employers located in a redevelopment project

1     districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a
2     written agreement by or among the municipality and the
3     taxing district or taxing districts, which agreement
4     describes the program to be undertaken, including but not
5     limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
6     description of the training and services to be provided,
7     the number and type of positions available or to be
8     available, itemized costs of the program and sources of
9     funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
10     Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community
11     college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38,
12     3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public Community College Act and by
13     school districts of costs pursuant to Sections 10-22.20a

SB1400 Enrolled - 54 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so due
2         shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds are
3         available in the special tax allocation fund;
4             (D) the total of such interest payments paid
5         pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total
6         (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
7         redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project
8         costs excluding any property assembly costs and any
9         relocation costs incurred by a municipality pursuant
10         to this Act; and
11             (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B)
12         and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for the
13         financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
14         low-income households and very low-income households,
15         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
16         Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall be substituted
17         for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11).
18             (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by
19         subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as
20         modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any
21         other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the
22         municipality may pay from tax increment revenues up to
23         50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
24         be occupied by low-income households and very
25         low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
26         Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 55 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1         construction of those units may be derived from the
2         proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under this
3         Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or
4         from other sources of municipal revenue that may be
5         reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the proceeds
6         of bonds issued to finance the construction of that
7         housing.
8             The eligible costs provided under this
9         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be an eligible
10         cost for the construction, renovation, and
11         rehabilitation of all low and very low-income housing
12         units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
13         Affordable Housing Act, within the redevelopment
14         project area. If the low and very low-income units are
15         part of a residential redevelopment project that
16         includes units not affordable to low and very
17         low-income households, only the low and very
18         low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
19         subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards for
20         maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and
21         very low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of
22         the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units
23         constructed with eligible costs made available under
24         the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph
25         (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the
26         municipality. The responsibility for annually

1         documenting the initial occupancy of the units by
2         low-income households and very low-income households,
3         as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
4         Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of
5         the property. For ownership units, the guidelines will
6         provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of
7         funds, or other appropriate methods designed to
8         preserve the original affordability of the ownership
9         units. For rental units, the guidelines will provide,
10         at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and
11         very low-income households. As units become available,
12         they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The
13         municipality may modify these guidelines from time to
14         time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for
15         as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay
16         for costs associated with the units or for the
17         retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for
18         the life of the redevelopment project area, whichever
19         is later.
20         (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located
21     within a municipality with a population of more than
22     100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
23     employees from low-income families working for businesses
24     located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
25     portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
26     established by redevelopment project area businesses to

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 57 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

2     businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
3     the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
4     means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
5     the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
6     for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
7     county, or regional median income are determined from time
8     to time by the United States Department of Housing and
9     Urban Development.
10         (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
11     construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be
12     an eligible redevelopment project cost.
13         (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of
14     Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs
15     enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible
16     redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
17     direct financial support to a retail entity initiating
18     operations in the redevelopment project area while
19     terminating operations at another Illinois location within
20     10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
21     boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.
22     For purposes of this paragraph, termination means a closing
23     of a retail operation that is directly related to the
24     opening of the same operation or like retail entity owned
25     or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a
26     redevelopment project area, but it does not mean closing an

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 58 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1     operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail
2     entity, as documented by the retail entity, subject to a
3     reasonable finding by the municipality that the current
4     location contained inadequate space, had become
5     economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location
6     for the retailer or serviceman.
7     If a special service area has been established pursuant to
8 the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
9 Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
10 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special
11 Service Area Tax Law may be used within the redevelopment
12 project area for the purposes permitted by that Act or Law as
13 well as the purposes permitted by this Act.

15 project area or the amended redevelopment project area
16 boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of

19 appropriate boundaries eligible for the determination of State
20 Sales Tax Increment.
21     (s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to
22 the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by retailers

1 Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act, except such
2 portion of such increase that is paid into the State and Local
3 Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local Government Distributive Fund,
4 the Local Government Tax Fund and the County and Mass Transit
5 District Fund, for as long as State participation exists, over
6 and above the Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
7 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such
8 taxes as certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under
9 those Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at
10 places of business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary
11 during the base year which shall be the calendar year
12 immediately prior to the year in which the municipality adopted
13 tax increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts
14 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act
15 and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act,
16 which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of Revenue to
17 cover its costs of administering and enforcing this Section.
18 For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes
19 for base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of
20 Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such
21 taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the
22 aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the base year
23 is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%.
24 The amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted
25 Initial Sales Tax Amount". For purposes of determining the
26 State Sales Tax Increment the Department of Revenue shall for

1 each period subtract from the tax amounts received from
2 retailers and servicemen on transactions located in the State
3 Sales Tax Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
4 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax
5 Amounts for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act,
6 the Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For
7 the State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
8 utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
9 received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
10 shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,
11 until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received
12 from retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted
13 therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax
14 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
15 Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal
16 Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the
17 period from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine
18 the tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which
19 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified
20 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
21 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as
22 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the
23 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and
24 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received which
25 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax
26 Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 61 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1 Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending to receive
2 a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must report a list

7 sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health,
8 fire protection, river conservancy, tuberculosis sanitarium
9 and any other municipal corporations or districts with the
10 power to levy taxes.
11     (u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs of
12 taxing districts for capital improvements that are found by the
13 municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and directly

16 Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of parcels
17 of real property without industrial, commercial, and
18 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial
19 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation
20 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is
21 included in an industrial park conservation area or the parcel
22 has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
23 larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
24 tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
25 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
26 subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the municipality

6 subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land is subdivided
7 when the original plat of the proposed Redevelopment Project
8 Area or relevant portion thereof has been properly certified,
9 acknowledged, approved, and recorded or filed in accordance

13 in accordance with the applicable ordinance of the
14 municipality.
15     (w) "Annual Total Increment" means the sum of each
16 municipality's annual Net Sales Tax Increment and each
17 municipality's annual Net Utility Tax Increment. The ratio of
18 the Annual Total Increment of each municipality to the Annual
19 Total Increment for all municipalities, as most recently
20 calculated by the Department, shall determine the proportional
21 shares of the Illinois Tax Increment Fund to be distributed to
22 each municipality.

3     (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-7)  (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-7)
4     Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
5 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
6 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
7 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
8 shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
9 authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts of
10 taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the
11 taxable property included in the area, by revenues as specified
12 by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated by the
13 municipality. A municipality may in the ordinance pledge all or
14 any part of the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax
15 allocation fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the
16 payment of the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any
17 pledge of funds in the special tax allocation fund shall
18 provide for distribution to the taxing districts and to the
19 Illinois Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
20 earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment and securing of
21 the obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs
22 and such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed
23 to be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies
24 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax allocation
25 fund for the payment or securing of anticipated redevelopment

1 project costs or of obligations, any such funds remaining in
2 the special tax allocation fund after complying with the
3 requirements of the application or pledge, shall also be
4 calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All surplus
5 funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed
6 annually within 180 days after the close of the municipality's
7 fiscal year by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the
8 County Collector, to the Department of Revenue and to the
9 municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
10 revenue received as a result of an increase in the equalized
11 assessed value of property in the redevelopment project area,
12 tax incremental revenue received from the State and tax
13 incremental revenue received from the municipality, but not to
14 exceed as to each such source the total incremental revenue
15 received from that source. The County Collector shall
16 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
17 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
18 distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
19 of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
20 project area.
21     Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
22 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
23 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
24 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
25 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
26 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 65 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
2 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
3 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
4 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated
5 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
6     Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
7 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
8 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
9 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
10 time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
11 dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration
12 privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
13 medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
14 covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
15 as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to
16 this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
17 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
18 municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
19 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations pursuant
20 to this Division except as provided in this Section.
21     In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
22 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
23 by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
24 obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
25 under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
26 the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or

 

 

SB1400 Enrolled - 66 - LRB095 11080 BDD 31407 b

1 (c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
2 authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
3 taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
4 has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
5 circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
6 ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
7 number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
8 question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
9 to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
10 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
11 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
12 to any individual requesting one.
13     If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
14 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
15 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
16 But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed with the
17 municipal clerk, signed by electors in the municipality
18 numbering 10% or more of the number of registered voters in the
19 municipality, asking that the question of issuing obligations
20 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security for
21 the cost of paying for redevelopment project costs, or of
