| 6 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-74.6-15)
| 7 | | Sec. 11-74.6-15. Municipal Powers and Duties. A | 8 | | municipality may:
| 9 | | (a) By ordinance introduced in the governing body of the | 10 | | municipality
within 14 to 90 days from the final adjournment of | 11 | | the hearing specified in
Section 11-74.6-22, approve | 12 | | redevelopment plans and redevelopment

areas | 14 | | pursuant to notice and
hearing required by this Act. No | 15 | | redevelopment planning area or redevelopment

the area and the area shall include | 18 | | only those parcels of real
property and improvements on those | 19 | | parcels substantially benefited by the
proposed redevelopment | 20 | | project improvements.
Upon adoption of the ordinances, the | 21 | | municipality shall forthwith transmit to

municipality | 17 | | determines is reasonably necessary to achieve the objectives
of | 18 | | the redevelopment plan and project. No conveyance, lease, | 19 | | mortgage,

no agreement | 25 | | relating to the
development of the municipal property, shall be | 26 | | made without making public
disclosure of

|
| 1 | | disposition of all bids and proposals submitted to the

|
| 1 | | (k) Incur, pay or cause to be paid redevelopment project | 2 | | costs; provided,
however,
that on and
after the effective date | 3 | | of this amendatory
Act of the 91st General Assembly, no | 4 | | municipality shall incur redevelopment
project costs (except
| 5 | | for planning and other eligible costs authorized by municipal | 6 | | ordinance or
resolution that are subsequently included in the | 7 | | redevelopment plan for the
area and are incurred after the | 8 | | ordinance or resolution is adopted) that are
not consistent | 9 | | with the program for
accomplishing the objectives of the
| 10 | | redevelopment plan as included in that plan and approved by the
| 11 | | municipality until the municipality has amended
the | 12 | | redevelopment plan as provided elsewhere in this Law.
Any | 13 | | payments to be made by the municipality to redevelopers or | 14 | | other
nongovernmental persons for redevelopment project costs | 15 | | incurred by
such redeveloper or other nongovernmental person | 16 | | shall be made only pursuant
to the prior official action of the | 17 | | municipality evidencing an intent to
pay or cause to be paid | 18 | | such redevelopment project costs. A
municipality is not | 19 | | required to obtain any right, title or interest in any
real or | 20 | | personal property in order to pay redevelopment project
costs | 21 | | associated with such property. The municipality shall adopt | 22 | | such
accounting procedures as may be necessary to determine | 23 | | that such redevelopment
project costs are properly paid.
| 24 | | (l) Create a commission of not less than 5 or more than 15 | 25 | | persons to
be appointed by the mayor or president of the | 26 | | municipality with the consent
of the majority of the governing |
| | | SB0539 Enrolled | - 5 - | LRB097 04328 KMW 44367 b |
|
| 1 | | board of the municipality. Members of a
commission appointed | 2 | | after the effective date of this Law
shall be appointed for | 3 | | initial terms of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years,
respectively, in | 4 | | numbers so that the terms of not more than
1/3 of all members | 5 | | expire in any one year. Their successors
shall be appointed for | 6 | | a term of 5 years. The commission, subject to
approval of the | 7 | | corporate authorities of the municipality, may exercise the
| 8 | | powers enumerated in this Section. The commission shall also | 9 | | have the power
to hold the public hearings required by this Act | 10 | | and make recommendations
to the corporate authorities | 11 | | concerning the adoption of redevelopment
plans, redevelopment | 12 | | projects and designation of redevelopment project areas.
| 13 | | (m) Make payment in lieu of all or a portion of real | 14 | | property taxes due
to taxing districts. If payments in lieu of | 15 | | all or a portion of taxes are
made to taxing districts, those | 16 | | payments shall be made to all districts
within a redevelopment | 17 | | project area on a basis that is proportional to the
current | 18 | | collection of revenue which each taxing district receives from | 19 | | real
property in the redevelopment project area.
| 20 | | (n) Exercise any and all other powers necessary to | 21 | | effectuate the
purposes of this Act.
| 22 | | (o) In conjunction with other municipalities, undertake | 23 | | and perform

to adopt tax | 26 | | increment allocation financing with respect to a redevelopment
|
| | | SB0539 Enrolled | - 6 - | LRB097 04328 KMW 44367 b |
|
| 1 | | project area that includes contiguous real property within the | 2 | | boundaries
of the municipalities, and, by agreement between | 3 | | participating
municipalities, to issue obligations, separately | 4 | | or jointly, and expend
revenues received under this Act for | 5 | | eligible expenses anywhere within
contiguous redevelopment | 6 | | project areas or as otherwise permitted in the Act. Two or more | 7 | | municipalities may designate a joint redevelopment project | 8 | | area under this subsection (o) for a single Industrial Park | 9 | | Conservation Area comprising of property within or near the | 10 | | boundaries of each municipality if: (i) both municipalities are | 11 | | located within the same Metropolitan Statistical Area, as | 12 | | defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget, | 13 | | (ii) the 4-year average unemployment rate for that Metropolitan | 14 | | Statistical Area was at least 11.3%, and (iii) at least one | 15 | | participating municipality demonstrates that it has made | 16 | | commitments to acquire capital assets to commence the project | 17 | | and that the acquisition will occur on or before December 31, | 18 | | 2011. The joint redevelopment project area must encompass an | 19 | | interstate highway exchange for access and be located, in part, | 20 | | adjacent to a landfill or other solid waste disposal facility.
| 21 | | (p) Create an Industrial Jobs Recovery Advisory Committee | 22 | | of not more
than 15 members to be appointed by the mayor or | 23 | | president of the
municipality with the consent of the majority | 24 | | of the governing board of the
municipality. The members of that | 25 | | Committee shall be appointed for initial
terms of 1, 2, and 3 | 26 | | years respectively, in numbers so that the terms of
not more |
| | | SB0539 Enrolled | - 7 - | LRB097 04328 KMW 44367 b |
|
| 1 | | than 1/3 of all members expire in any one year. Their | 2 | | successors
shall be appointed for a term of 3 years. The | 3 | | Committee shall have none of
the powers enumerated in this | 4 | | Section. The Committee shall serve in an
advisory capacity | 5 | | only. The Committee may advise the governing board of
the | 6 | | municipality and other municipal officials regarding | 7 | | development issues
and opportunities within the redevelopment | 8 | | project area. The Committee may
also promote and publicize | 9 | | development opportunities in the redevelopment
project area.
| 10 | | (q) If a redevelopment project has not been initiated in a | 11 | | redevelopment
project area within 5 years after the area was | 12 | | designated by ordinance under
subsection (a), the municipality | 13 | | shall adopt an ordinance repealing the area's
designation as a | 14 | | redevelopment project area. Initiation of a redevelopment
| 15 | | project shall be evidenced by either a signed redevelopment | 16 | | agreement or
expenditures on eligible redevelopment project | 17 | | costs associated with a
redevelopment project.
| 18 | | (r) Within a redevelopment planning area, transfer or loan | 19 | | tax increment
revenues from one redevelopment project area to | 20 | | another redevelopment project
area for expenditure on eligible | 21 | | costs in the receiving area.
| 22 | | (s) Use tax increment revenue produced in a redevelopment | 23 | | project area
created under this Law by transferring or loaning | 24 | | such revenues to a
redevelopment project area created under the | 25 | | Tax Increment Allocation
Redevelopment Act that is either | 26 | | contiguous to, or separated only by a public
right of way from, |
| | | SB0539 Enrolled | - 8 - | LRB097 04328 KMW 44367 b |
|
| 1 | | the redevelopment project area that initially produced and
| 2 | | received those revenues.
