20     Sec. 4-20. Additional compensation based on performance.
21 Any assessor in counties with less than 3,000,000 but more than
22 50,000 inhabitants each year may petition the Department to
23 receive additional compensation based on performance. To
24 receive additional compensation, the official's assessment
25 jurisdiction must meet the following criteria:

 

 

09600SB3660ham013 - 7 - LRB096 20362 RLJ 41615 a

1         (1) the median level of assessment must be no more than
2     35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of
3     property in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and
4         (2) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater
5     than 15%.
6 For purposes of this Section, "coefficient of dispersion" means
7 the average deviation of all assessments from the median level.
8 For purposes of this Section, the number of inhabitants shall
9 be determined by the latest federal decennial census. When the
10 most recent census shows an increase in inhabitants to over
11 50,000 or a decrease to 50,000 or fewer, then the assessment
12 year used to compute the coefficient of dispersion and the most
13 recent year of the 3-year average level of assessments is the
14 year that determines qualification for additional
15 compensation. The Department will promulgate rules and
16 regulations to determine whether an assessor meets these
17 criteria.
18     Any assessor in a county of 50,000 or fewer inhabitants may
19 petition the Department for consideration to receive
20 additional compensation each year based on performance. In
21 order to receive the additional compensation, the assessments
22 in the official's assessment jurisdiction must meet the
23 following criteria: (i) the median level of assessments must be
24 no more than 35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value
25 of property in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and (ii) the
26 coefficient of dispersion must not be greater than 40% in 1994,

 

 

09600SB3660ham013 - 8 - LRB096 20362 RLJ 41615 a

1 38% in 1995, 36% in 1996, 34% in 1997, 32% in 1998, and 30% in
2 1999 and every year thereafter.
3     Real estate transfer declarations used by the Department in
4 annual sales-assessment ratio studies will be used to evaluate
5 applications for additional compensation. The Department will
6 audit other property to determine if the sales-assessment ratio
7 study data is representative of the assessment jurisdiction. If
8 the ratio study is found not representative, appraisals and
9 other information may be utilized. If the ratio study is
10 representative, upon certification by the Department, the
11 assessor shall receive additional compensation of $3,000 for
12 that year, to be paid out of funds appropriated to the
13 Department.
14     As used in this Section, "assessor" means any township or
15 multi-township assessor, or supervisor of assessments.
16     Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the
17 contrary, no additional compensation, including without
18 limitation an annual stipend, shall be paid pursuant to this
19 Section on or after July 1, 2010.

13 any other compensation provided by law to be paid to elected
