| Public Act 101-0584 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Bi-State Development Agency Act is amended | ||||
by changing Section 2 and adding Section 10 as follows:
| ||||
(45 ILCS 105/2) (from Ch. 127, par. 63s-2)
| ||||
Sec. 2.
(a) Of the Commissioners first appointed one shall | ||||
be appointed
to
serve for a term of one year, one for two | ||||
years, one for three years, one
for four years and one for five | ||||
years from the third Monday in January
following his | ||||
appointment.
Beginning with the appointment to be filled in | ||||
January of 2004, and the
expiration of each term of each | ||||
commissioner thereafter, and each succeeding
commissioner | ||||
thereafter, the Chairman of the County Board of the County of
| ||||
Madison or the County of St. Clair, as the case may be, shall, | ||||
by and with the
advice and consent of the respective County | ||||
Board, appoint a successor who
shall hold office for a term of | ||||
five years. Each commissioner shall hold
office until his | ||||
successor has been appointed and qualified. The
commissioners | ||||
shall elect a chairman of the Illinois delegation annually from
| ||||
among themselves.
| ||||
(b) The Chairman of the County Board of St. Clair County | ||||
shall appoint a
commissioner for the term expiring in January, | ||||
2004 and in the following year
the
Chairman of the County Board | ||
of Madison County shall appoint a commissioner
for the term | ||
expiring in January of that year. Successive appointments shall
| ||
alternate between the Chairman of the St. Clair County Board | ||
and the Chairman
of the Madison County Board, except as may be | ||
modified by the provisions of
subsection (c).
| ||
(c) In the event that a tax has been imposed in Monroe | ||
County consistent
with the provisions of Section 5.01 of the | ||
Local Mass Transit District Act, the
Chairman of the Monroe | ||
County Board shall, upon the expiration of the term of a
| ||
commissioner who is a resident of the County in which 3 of the | ||
then remaining
commissioners reside, appoint a commissioner | ||
with the advice and consent of
the Monroe County Board. The | ||
commissioner appointed by the Monroe County
Board shall hold | ||
office for a term of 5 years and a successor shall be
appointed
| ||
by the chairman of the Monroe County Board, with the advice and | ||
consent of the
Monroe County Board. The appointments of the 4 | ||
remaining commissioners shall
then continue to alternate | ||
between St. Clair and Madison County so that each
County shall | ||
continue to retain the appointments of 2 commissioners. To the
| ||
extent that this subsection (c) conflicts with any other | ||
provision of this
Section or Section 3, the provisions of this | ||
subsection (c) control. | ||
(d) A county authorized to appoint commissioners that does | ||
not contract for light rail service with the Bi-State | ||
Development Agency and does not pay for that service in part | ||
with county-generated revenue shall be limited to one | ||
commissioner. When the term of an existing commissioner expires | ||
from the county without light rail service and there is another | ||
commissioner from that county serving an unexpired term, the | ||
commissioner leaving shall be replaced by an appointee from a | ||
county contracting for light rail service; this process shall | ||
continue until the county without light rail service has only | ||
one commissioner. At that point, that one commissioner will | ||
continue to be appointed as previously authorized by this Act.

Sec. 10. Urbanized Area Formula Funding program; Madison | ||
Mass Transit District. | ||
(a) As used in this Section: | ||
"Agency" means the Bi-State Development Agency. | ||
"District" means the Madison Mass Transit District. | ||
"Federal formula" means the Urbanized Area Formula Funding | ||
program under 49 USC 5307. | ||
(b) The Agency shall pass through to the District on an | ||
annual basis the amount of federal formula assistance equal to | ||
100% of the Alton/Wood River urbanized area formula allocation | ||
as capital assistance, on the basis that the District is the | ||
exclusive provider of public transit service in the Alton/Wood | ||
River urbanized area with total responsibility for capital and | ||
operating expenses to deliver such services. The District shall | ||
be responsible for any obligations associated with the receipt | ||
of these funds as required by the Federal Transit | ||
Administration. | ||
(c) The Agency shall pass through to the District 100% of | ||
that portion of the federal formula funds allocation generated | ||
to the St. Louis urbanized area as a result of the District's | ||
filing of National Transit Database statistics for passengers | ||
miles and revenue miles for those transportation services | ||
operated and reported by the District, including motor bus, | ||
demand response, and vanpool services, as defined by the | ||
Federal Transit Administration. The Agency shall use the | ||
Federal Transit Administration Unit Values of Data, published | ||
annually in the Federal Register, to calculate this allocation | ||
each year. The District shall be responsible for any | ||
obligations associated with the receipt of these funds as | ||
required by the Federal Transit Administration. | ||
(d) The Agency shall retain the federal formula funds | ||
allocated by the Federal Transit Administration to the region | ||
on the basis of Madison County, Illinois population and | ||
population density within the St. Louis urbanized area. | ||
Additionally, the Agency shall retain those federal formula | ||
funds allocated on the basis of regular fixed route and | ||
seasonal services operated and reported by the Agency in the | ||
St. Louis urbanized area. These revenues shall constitute the | ||
total financial commitment and payment in full for: | ||
(1) all claims, debts or obligations, rights, | ||
liabilities, direct or indirect, made or asserted by the | ||
Agency, arising out of any previous service agreements, | ||
issues, or relationship between the District and the Agency | ||
occurring on or before June 30, 2019; and | ||
(2) any capital or operating subsidy for the MetroLink | ||
Light Rail System, as currently configured or as may be | ||
extended in the future. The Agency shall afford the | ||
District's bus passengers and vehicles full access to the | ||
MetroLink system without any additional fees or surcharges | ||
above and beyond those fares typically charged residents of | ||
the St. Clair County, the City of St. Louis, Missouri, or | ||
St. Louis County, Missouri, for comparable distance trips, | ||
subject to any agreement between the Agency and the | ||
District existing on the effective date of this amendatory | ||
Act of the 101st General Assembly, until such time | ||
MetroLink is extended into Madison County. | ||
