(55 ILCS 5/6-28004) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-28004)
Sec. 6-28004.
Purpose for which proceeds of bond issue and
working cash fund may be used; transfer of funds. All
moneys received from the issuance of bonds as herein
authorized or from any tax levied pursuant to the authority granted by
this Division, shall be set apart in the county highway working cash fund by
the county treasurer and shall be used for the purposes and in the
manner hereinafter provided. Such fund, and the moneys therein, shall
not be regarded as current assets available for appropriation and shall
not be appropriated by the county board in the resolution termed the
annual appropriations bill. The county board may appropriate moneys in
the working cash fund up to the maximum amount allowable in the fund, and
the working cash fund may receive such appropriations and any other
contributions. In order to provide moneys with which to
meet ordinary and necessary disbursements for salaries and other highway
purposes, such fund and the moneys therein may be transferred, in whole
or in part, to the county highway
fund of the county and so disbursed therefrom in anticipation of the
collection of any taxes lawfully levied for county highway purposes or
in the anticipation of such taxes, as by law now or hereafter enacted or
amended, imposed by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois to
replace revenue lost by units of local government and school districts
as a result of the abolition of ad valorem personal property taxes,
pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the State of
Illinois. Moneys transferred to the county highway fund from the county
highway working cash fund in anticipation of the collection of taxes
shall be deemed to have been transferred in anticipation of the
collection of that part of the county highway taxes so levied or to be
received which is in excess of the amount or amounts thereof required to
pay (a) any tax anticipation warrants and the interest thereon,
theretofore or thereafter issued and (b) any notes and the interest
thereon, theretofore or thereafter issued against the county highway tax and
(c) the aggregate amount of receipts from taxes imposed to replace revenue
lost by units of local government and school districts as a result of the
abolition of ad valorem personal property taxes, pursuant to Article IX,
Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, which the corporate
authorities estimate will be set aside for the payment of the proportionate
amount of debt service and pension or retirement obligations, as required by
Section 12 of "An Act in relation to State Revenue Sharing with local
government entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended. Such taxes levied
or to be received for county highway purposes when collected shall be
applied, first to the payment of any such warrants and the interest thereon
and to the payment of any such notes and the interest thereon,
the amount estimated to be required to satisfy debt service and pension
or retirement obligations as set forth in Section 12 of "An Act in relation
to State revenue sharing with local government entities", approved July
31, 1969, as amended, and then to the reimbursement of said county highway
working cash fund as hereinafter provided. Upon the receipt by said
county treasurer of any taxes, or other moneys, in anticipation of the
collection or receipt whereof moneys of such county highway working cash
fund have been so transferred for disbursement, such fund shall
immediately be reimbursed therefrom until the full amount so transferred
has been retransferred to such fund. Unless the taxes and other moneys
so received and applied to the reimbursement of the county highway
working cash fund, prior to the first day of the seventh month following
the month in which due and unpaid real property taxes by law begin to
bear interest, shall be sufficient to effect a complete reimbursement of
such fund for any moneys transferred therefrom in anticipation of the
collection or receipt of such taxes, or other moneys, such county
highway working cash fund shall be reimbursed for the amount of the
deficiency therein from any other revenues accruing to said county
highway fund, and it shall be the duty of the county board to make
provision for the immediate reimbursement of the amount of any such
deficiency in its next resolution termed the annual appropriations bill.
