The following terms, 8 wherever used or referred to in this Division 74.4 shall have 9 the following respective meanings, unless in any case a 10 different meaning clearly appears from the context. 11 (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been 12 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted 13 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act 14 91-478), "blighted area" shall have the meaning set forth in 15 this Section prior to that date. 16 On and after November 1, 1999, "blighted area" means any 17 improved or vacant area within the boundaries of a 18 redevelopment project area located within the territorial 19 limits of the municipality where: 20 (1) If improved, industrial, commercial, and 21 residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to 22 the public safety, health, or welfare because of a -2- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 combination of 5 or more of the following factors, each 2 of which is (i) present, with that presence documented, 3 to a meaningful extent so that a municipality may 4 reasonably find that the factor is clearly present within 5 the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed 6 throughout the improved part of the redevelopment project 7 area: 8 (A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of 9 disrepair or neglect of necessary repairs to the 10 primary structural components of buildings or 11 improvements in such a combination that a documented 12 building condition analysis determines that major 13 repair is required or the defects are so serious and 14 so extensive that the buildings must be removed. 15 (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of 16 falling into disuse. Structures have become 17 ill-suited for the original use. 18 (C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, 19 defects including, but not limited to, major defects 20 in the secondary building components such as doors, 21 windows, porches, gutters and downspouts, and 22 fascia. With respect to surface improvements, that 23 the condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, 24 sidewalks, off-street parking, and surface storage 25 areas evidence deterioration, including, but not 26 limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, 27 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds 28 protruding through paved surfaces. 29 (D) Presence of structures below minimum code 30 standards. All structures that do not meet the 31 standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, 32 and other governmental codes applicable to property, 33 but not including housing and property maintenance 34 codes. -3- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 (E) Illegal use of individual structures.

The absence of adequate ventilation for 13 light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without 14 windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor, 15 gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne materials. 16 Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the 17 absence of skylights or windows for interior spaces 18 or rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by 19 room area to window area ratios. Inadequate 20 sanitary facilities refers to the absence or 21 inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure, 22 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and 23 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and 24 egress to and from all rooms and units within a 25 building. 26 (H) Inadequate utilities. Underground and 27 overhead utilities such as storm sewers and storm 28 drainage, sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, 29 telephone, and electrical services that are shown to 30 be inadequate. Inadequate utilities are those that 31 are: (i) of insufficient capacity to serve the uses 32 in the redevelopment project area, (ii) 33 deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, 34 or (iii) lacking within the redevelopment project -4- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 area. 2 (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding 3 of structures and community facilities. The 4 over-intensive use of property and the crowding of 5 buildings and accessory facilities onto a site. 6 Examples of problem conditions warranting the 7 designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive 8 land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings 9 either improperly situated on parcels or located on 10 parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to 11 present-day standards of development for health and 12 safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings 13 on a single parcel. For there to be a finding of 14 excessive land coverage, these parcels must exhibit 15 one or more of the following conditions: 16 insufficient provision for light and air within or 17 around buildings, increased threat of spread of fire 18 due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of 19 adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, 20 lack of reasonably required off-street parking, or 21 inadequate provision for loading and service. 22 (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The 23 existence of incompatible land-use relationships, 24 buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or 25 uses considered to be noxious, offensive, or 26 unsuitable for the surrounding area. 27 (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed 28 redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois 29 Environmental Protection Agency or United States 30 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs 31 for, or a study conducted by an independent 32 consultant recognized as having expertise in 33 environmental remediation has determined a need for, 34 the clean-up of hazardous waste, hazardous -5- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 substances, or underground storage tanks required by 2 State or federal law, provided that the remediation 3 costs constitute a material impediment to the 4 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment 5 project area. 6 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed 7 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or 8 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. 9 This means that the development occurred prior to 10 the adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive 11 or other community plan or that the plan was not 12 followed at the time of the area's development. 13 This factor must be documented by evidence of 14 adverse or incompatible land-use relationships, 15 inadequate street layout, improper subdivision, 16 parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet 17 contemporary development standards, or other 18 evidence demonstrating an absence of effective 19 community planning. 20 (M) The total equalized assessed value of the 21 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 22 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in 23 which the redevelopment project area is designated 24 or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 25 the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 26 calendar years for which information is available or 27 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 28 the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers 29 published by the United States Department of Labor 30 or successor agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar 31 years prior to the year in which the redevelopment 32 project area is designated. 33 (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the 34 redevelopment project area is impaired by a combination -6- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 of 2 or more of the following factors, each of which is 2 (i) present, with that presence documented, to a 3 meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably 4 find that the factor is clearly present within the intent 5 of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the 6 vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which it 7 pertains: 8 (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that 9 results in parcels of limited or narrow size or 10 configurations of parcels of irregular size or shape 11 that would be difficult to develop on a planned 12 basis and in a manner compatible with contemporary 13 standards and requirements, or platting that failed 14 to create rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or 15 that created inadequate right-of-way widths for 16 streets, alleys, or other public rights-of-way or 17 that omitted easements for public utilities. 18 (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of 19 vacant land sufficient in number to retard or impede 20 the ability to assemble the land for development. 21 (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies 22 exist or the property has been the subject of tax 23 sales under the Property Tax Code within the last 5 24 years. 25 (D) Deterioration of structures or site 26 improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the 27 vacant land. 28 (E) The area has incurred Illinois 29 Environmental Protection Agency or United States 30 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs 31 for, or a study conducted by an independent 32 consultant recognized as having expertise in 33 environmental remediation has determined a need for, 34 the clean-up of hazardous waste, hazardous -7- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 substances, or underground storage tanks required by 2 State or federal law, provided that the remediation 3 costs constitute a material impediment to the 4 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment 5 project area. 6 (F) The total equalized assessed value of the 7 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 8 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in 9 which the redevelopment project area is designated 10 or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 11 the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 12 calendar years for which information is available or 13 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than 14 the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers 15 published by the United States Department of Labor 16 or successor agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar 17 years prior to the year in which the redevelopment 18 project area is designated. 19 (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the 20 redevelopment project area is impaired by one of the 21 following factors that (i) is present, with that presence 22 documented, to a meaningful extent so that a municipality 23 may reasonably find that the factor is clearly present 24 within the intent of the Act and (ii) is reasonably 25 distributed throughout the vacant part of the 26 redevelopment project area to which it pertains: 27 (A) The area consists of one or more unused 28 quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds. 29 (B) The area consists of unused railyards, 30 rail tracks, or railroad rights-of-way. 31 (C) The area, prior to its designation, is 32 subject to chronic flooding that adversely impacts 33 on real property in

earth, stone, building 4 debris, or similar materials that were removed from 5 construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge 6 sites. 7 (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not 8 less than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of 9 which is vacant (notwithstanding that the area has 10 been used for commercial agricultural purposes 11 within 5 years prior to the designation of the 12 redevelopment project area), and the area meets at 13 least one of the factors itemized in paragraph (1) 14 of this subsection, the area has been designated as 15 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 18 designated purpose. 19 (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved 20 area immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless 21 there has been substantial private investment in the 22 immediately 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 27 in this Section prior to that date. 28 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means 29 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment 30 project area located within the territorial limits of the 31 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the 32 area have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not 33 yet a blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more 34 of the following factors is detrimental to the public safety, -9- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 health, morals or welfare and such an area may become a 2 blighted area: 3 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair 4 or neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural 5 components of buildings or improvements in such a 6 combination that a documented building condition analysis 7 determines that major repair is required or the defects 8 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must 9 be removed. 10 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of 11 falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited 12 for the original use. 13 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, 14 defects including, but not limited to, major defects in 15 the secondary building components such as doors, windows, 16 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With 17 respect to surface improvements, that the condition of 18 roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street 19 parking, and surface storage areas evidence 20 deterioration, including, but not limited to, surface 21 cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving 22 material, and weeds protruding through paved surfaces. 23 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code 24 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards 25 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other 26 governmental codes applicable to property, but not 27 including housing and property maintenance codes. 28 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use 29 of structures in violation of applicable federal, State, 30 or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the 31 presence of structures below minimum code standards. 32 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings 33 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent 34 an adverse influence on the area because of the -10- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 frequency, extent, or duration of the vacancies. 2 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary 3 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for 4 light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without 5 windows, or that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, 6 smoke, or other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate 7 natural light and ventilation means the absence or 8 inadequacy of skylights or windows for interior spaces or 9 rooms and improper window sizes and amounts by room area 10 to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities 11 refers to the absence or inadequacy of garbage storage 12 and enclosure, bathroom facilities, hot water and 13 kitchens, and structural inadequacies preventing ingress 14 and egress to and from all rooms and units within a 15 building. 16 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead 17 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage, 18 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and 19 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate. 20 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of 21 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the 22 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, 23 antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking 24 within the redevelopment project area. 25 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of 26 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive 27 use of property and the crowding of buildings and 28 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem 29 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one 30 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of 31 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or 32 located on parcels of inadequate size and shape in 33 relation to present-day standards of development for 34 health and safety and the presence of multiple buildings -11- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 on a single parcel. For there to be a finding of 2 excessive land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one 3 or more of the following conditions: insufficient 4 provision for light and air within or around buildings, 5 increased threat of spread of fire due to the close 6 proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper access 7 to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably required 8 off-street parking, or inadequate provision for loading 9 and service. 10 (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence 11 of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings 12 occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered 13 to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the 14 surrounding area. 15 (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed 16 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or 17 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This 18 means that the development occurred prior to the adoption 19 by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community 20 plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the 21 area's development. This factor must be documented by 22 evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use 23 relationships, inadequate street layout, improper 24 subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet 25 contemporary development standards, or other evidence 26 demonstrating an absence of effective community planning. 27 (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental 28 Protection Agency or United States Environmental 29 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study 30 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as 31 having expertise in environmental remediation has 32 determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste, 33 hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks 34 required by State or federal law, provided that the -12- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the 2 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project 3 area. 4 (13) The total equalized assessed value of the 5 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of 6 the last 5 calendar years for which information is 7 available or is increasing at an annual rate that is less 8 than the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5 9 calendar years for which information is available or is 10 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the 11 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by 12 the United States Department of Labor or successor agency 13 for 3 of the last 5 calendar years for which information 14 is available. 15 (c) "Industrial park" means an area in a blighted or 16 conservation area suitable for use by any manufacturing, 17 industrial, research or transportation enterprise, of 18 facilities to include but not be limited to factories, mills, 19 processing plants, assembly plants, packing plants, 20 fabricating plants, industrial distribution centers, 21 warehouses, repair overhaul or service facilities, freight 22 terminals, research facilities, test facilities or railroad 23 facilities. 24 (d) "Industrial park conservation area" means an area 25 within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located 26 within the territorial limits of a municipality that is a 27 labor surplus municipality or within 1 1/2 miles of the 28 territorial limits of a municipality that is a labor surplus 29 municipality if the area is annexed to the municipality; 30 which area is zoned as industrial no later than at the time 31 the municipality by ordinance designates the redevelopment 32 project area, and which area includes both vacant land 33 suitable for use as an industrial park and a blighted area or 34 conservation area contiguous to such vacant land. -13- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in 2 which, at any time during the 6 months before the 3 municipality by ordinance designates an industrial park 4 conservation area, the unemployment rate was over 6% and was 5 also 100% or more of the national average unemployment rate 6 for that same time as published in the United States 7 Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics publication 8 entitled "The Employment Situation" or its successor 9 publication. For the purpose of this subsection, if 10 unemployment rate statistics for the municipality are not 11 available, the unemployment rate in the municipality shall be 12 deemed to be the same as the unemployment rate in the 13 principal county in which the municipality is located. 14 (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village or 15 incorporated town. 16 (g) "Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the amount of 17 taxes paid under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax 18 Act, Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the 19 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and the Municipal 20 Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and servicemen on 21 transactions at places located in a State Sales Tax Boundary 22 during the calendar year 1985. 23 (g-1) "Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts" means the 24 amount of taxes paid under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, 25 Use Tax Act, Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax 26 Act, the Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and the 27 Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and 28 servicemen on transactions at places located within the State 29 Sales Tax Boundary revised pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8a(9) 30 of this Act. 31 (h) "Municipal Sales Tax Increment" means an amount 32 equal to the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid 33 to a municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising 34 from sales by retailers and servicemen within the -14- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 redevelopment project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as 2 the case may be, for as long as the redevelopment project 3 area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist 4 over and above the aggregate amount of taxes as certified by 5 the Illinois Department of Revenue and paid under the 6 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal 7 Service Occupation Tax Act by retailers and servicemen, on 8 transactions at places of business located in the 9 redevelopment project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as 10 the case may be, during the base year which shall be the 11 calendar year immediately prior to the year in which the 12 municipality adopted tax increment allocation financing. For 13 purposes of computing the aggregate amount of such taxes for 14 base years occurring prior to 1985, the Department of Revenue 15 shall determine the Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such taxes 16 and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the aggregate 17 amount of taxes per year for each year the base year is prior 18 to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%. The 19 amount so determined shall be known as the "Adjusted Initial 20 Sales Tax Amounts". For purposes of determining the 21 Municipal Sales Tax Increment, the Department of Revenue 22 shall for each period subtract from the amount paid to the 23 municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising from 24 sales by retailers and servicemen on transactions located in 25 the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax 26 Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax 27 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the 28 Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal 29 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service 30 Occupation Tax Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this 31 calculation shall be made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 32 to determine the tax amounts received. For the State Fiscal 33 Year 1990, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the 34 period from January 1, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to -15- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 determine the tax amounts received from retailers and 2 servicemen pursuant to the Municipal Retailers' Occupation 3 Tax and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act, which shall 4 have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified 5 Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax 6 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as 7 appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 1991, this calculation 8 shall be made by utilizing the period from October 1, 1988, 9 to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax amounts received from 10 retailers and servicemen pursuant to the Municipal Retailers' 11 Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax Act 12 which shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the 13 certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales 14 Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as 15 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the 16 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and 17 ending June 30 to determine the tax amounts received which 18 shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial Sales Tax 19 Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the 20 Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as the case may be. 21 (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the 22 following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Sales Tax 23 Increment annually generated within a State Sales Tax 24 Boundary; (b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not 25 exceeding $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually 26 generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of 27 all amounts in excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax 28 Increment annually generated within a State Sales Tax 29 Boundary. If, however, a municipality established a tax 30 increment financing district in a county with a population in 31 excess of 3,000,000 before January 1, 1986, and the 32 municipality entered into a contract or issued bonds after 33 January 1, 1986, but before December 31, 1986, to finance 34 redevelopment project costs within a State Sales Tax -16- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax Increment means, for 2 the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990, and July 1, 1991, 3 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment annually generated 4 within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and notwithstanding any 5 other provision of this Act, for those fiscal years the 6 Department of Revenue shall distribute to those 7 municipalities 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment 8 before any distribution to any other municipality and 9 regardless of whether or not those other municipalities will 10 receive 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For 11 Fiscal Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year 12 2007, for any municipality that has not entered into a 13 contract or has not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to 14 finance redevelopment project costs within a State Sales Tax 15 Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be 16 calculated as follows: By multiplying the Net State Sales Tax 17 Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the 18 State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 19 60% in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal 20 Year 2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the 21 State Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year 2006; 22 and 10% in the State Fiscal Year 2007.

and 4 (iii) for secondary school districts, no 5 more than 13% of the total amount of property 6 tax increment revenue produced by those housing 7 units that have received tax increment finance 8 assistance under this Act. 9 (C) For any school district in a municipality 10 with a population in excess of 1,000,000, the 11 following restrictions shall apply to the 12 reimbursement of increased costs under this 13 paragraph (7.5): 14 (i) no increased costs shall be 15 reimbursed unless the school district certifies 16 that each of the schools affected by the 17 assisted housing project is at or over its 18 student capacity; 19 (ii) the amount reimburseable shall be 20 reduced by the value of any land donated to the 21 school district by the municipality or 22 developer, and by the value of any physical 23 improvements made to the schools by the 24 municipality or developer; and 25 (iii) the amount reimbursed may not 26 affect amounts otherwise obligated by the terms 27 of any bonds, notes, or other funding 28 instruments, or the terms of any redevelopment 29 agreement. 30 Any school district seeking payment under this 31 paragraph (7.5) shall, after July 1 and before 32 September 30 of each year, provide the municipality 33 with reasonable evidence to support its claim for 34 reimbursement before the municipality shall be -35- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 required to approve or make the payment to the 2 school district. If the school district fails to 3 provide the information during this period in any 4 year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement 5 for that year. School districts may adopt a 6 resolution waiving the right to all or a portion of 7 the reimbursement otherwise required by this 8 paragraph (7.5). By acceptance of this 9 reimbursement the school district waives the right 10 to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or 11 contest in any manner the establishment of the 12 redevelopment project area or projects; 13 (8) Relocation costs to the extent that a 14 municipality determines that relocation costs shall be 15 paid or is required to make payment of relocation costs 16 by federal or State law or in order to satisfy 17 subparagraph (7) of subsection (n); 18 (9) Payment in lieu of taxes; 19 (10) Costs of job training, retraining, advanced 20 vocational education or career education, including but 21 not limited to courses in occupational, semi-technical or 22 technical fields leading directly to employment, incurred 23 by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs 24 (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of 25 additional job training, advanced vocational education or 26 career education programs for persons employed or to be 27 employed by employers located in a redevelopment project 28 area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or 29 taxing districts other than the municipality, are set 30 forth in a written agreement by or among the municipality 31 and the taxing district or taxing districts, which 32 agreement describes the program to be undertaken, 33 including but not limited to the number of employees to 34 be trained, a description of the training and services to -36- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 be provided, the number and type of positions available 2 or to be available, itemized costs of the program and 3 sources of funds to pay for the same, and the term of the 4 agreement. Such costs include, specifically, the payment 5 by community college districts of costs pursuant to 6 Sections 3-37, 3-38, 3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public 7 Community College Act and by school districts of costs 8 pursuant to Sections 10-22.20a and 10-23.3a of The School 9 Code; 10 (11) Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper 11 related to the construction, renovation or rehabilitation 12 of a redevelopment project provided that: 13 (A) such costs are to be paid directly from 14 the special tax allocation fund established pursuant 15 to this Act; 16 (B) such payments in any one year may not 17 exceed 30% of the annual interest costs incurred by 18 the redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment 19 project during that year; 20 (C) if there are not sufficient funds 21 available in the special tax allocation fund to make 22 the payment pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the 23 amounts so due shall accrue and be payable when 24 sufficient funds are available in the special tax 25 allocation fund; 26 (D) the total of such interest payments paid 27 pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total 28 (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the 29 redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment 30 project costs excluding any property assembly costs 31 and any relocation costs incurred by a municipality 32 pursuant to this Act; and 33 (E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs 34 (B) and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for -37- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 the financing of rehabilitated or new housing units 2 for low-income households and very low-income 3 households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois 4 Affordable Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall 5 be substituted for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) 6 of paragraph (11). 7 (F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by 8 subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as 9 modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding 10 any other provisions of this Act to the contrary, 11 the municipality may pay from tax increment revenues 12 up to 50% of the cost of construction of new housing 13 units to be occupied by low-income households and 14 very low-income households as defined in Section 3 15 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of 16 construction of those units may be derived from the 17 proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under 18 this Act or other constitutional or statutory 19 authority or from other sources of municipal revenue 20 that may be reimbursed from tax increment revenues 21 or the proceeds of bonds issued to finance the 22 construction of that housing. 23 The eligible costs provided under this 24 subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be an 25 eligible cost for the construction, renovation, and 26 rehabilitation of all low and very low-income 27 housing units, as defined in Section 3 of the 28 Illinois Affordable Housing Act, within the 29 redevelopment project area. If the low and very 30 low-income units are part of a residential 31 redevelopment project that includes units not 32 affordable to low and very low-income households, 33 only the low and very low-income units shall be 34 eligible for benefits under subparagraph (F) of -38- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 paragraph (11). The standards for maintaining the 2 occupancy by low-income households and very 3 low-income households, as defined in Section 3 of 4 the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units 5 constructed with eligible costs made available under 6 the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph 7 (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by 8 the municipality. The responsibility for annually 9 documenting the initial occupancy of the units by 10 low-income households and very low-income 11 households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois 12 Affordable Housing Act, shall be that of the then 13 current owner of the property. For ownership units, 14 the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for a 15 reasonable recapture of funds, or other appropriate 16 methods designed to preserve the original 17 affordability of the ownership units. For rental 18 units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, 19 for the affordability of rent to low and very 20 low-income households. As units become available, 21 they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The 22 municipality may modify these guidelines from time 23 to time; the guidelines, however, shall be in effect 24 for as long as tax increment revenue is being used 25 to pay for costs associated with the units or for 26 the retirement of bonds issued to finance the units 27 or for the life of the redevelopment project area, 28 whichever is later. 29 (11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located 30 within a municipality with a population of more than 31 100,000, the cost of day care services for children of 32 employees from low-income families working for businesses 33 located within the redevelopment project area and all or 34 a portion of the cost of operation of day care centers -39- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 established by redevelopment project area businesses to 2 serve employees from low-income families working in 3 businesses located in the redevelopment project area. 4 For the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families" 5 means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of 6 the municipal, county, or regional median income, 7 adjusted for family size, as the annual income and 8 municipal, county, or regional median income are 9 determined from time to time by the United States 10 Department of Housing and Urban Development. 11 (12) Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of 12 construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not 13 be an eligible redevelopment project cost. 14 (13) After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of 15 Public Act 91-478), none of the redevelopment project 16 costs enumerated in this subsection shall be eligible 17 redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide 18 direct financial support to a retail entity initiating 19 operations in the redevelopment project area while 20 terminating operations at another Illinois location 21 within 10 miles of the redevelopment project area but 22 outside the boundaries of the redevelopment project area 23 municipality. For purposes of this paragraph, 24 termination means a closing of a retail operation that is 25 directly related to the opening of the same operation or 26 like retail entity owned or operated by more than 50% of 27 the original ownership in a redevelopment project area, 28 but it does not mean closing an operation for reasons 29 beyond the control of the retail entity, as documented by 30 the retail entity, subject to a reasonable finding by the 31 municipality that the current location contained 32 inadequate space, had become economically obsolete, or 33 was no longer a viable location for the retailer or 34 serviceman. -40- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 If a special service area has been established pursuant 2 to the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area 3 Tax Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax 4 imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or 5 Special Service Area Tax Law may be used within the 6 redevelopment project area for the purposes permitted by that 7 Act or Law as well as the purposes permitted by this Act. 8 (r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment 9 project area or the amended redevelopment project area 10 boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of 11 Section 11-74.4-8a of this Act. The Department of Revenue 12 shall certify pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 13 11-74.4-8a the appropriate boundaries eligible for the 14 determination of State Sales Tax Increment. 15 (s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to 16 the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by 17 retailers and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen 18 subject to the Public Utilities Act, on transactions at 19 places of business located within a State Sales Tax Boundary 20 pursuant to the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax 21 Act, the Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax 22 Act, except such portion of such increase that is paid into 23 the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local 24 Government Distributive Fund, the Local Government Tax 25 Fund and the County and Mass Transit District Fund, for as 26 long as State participation exists, over and above the 27 Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts 28 or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such taxes as 29 certified by the Department of Revenue and paid under those 30 Acts by retailers and servicemen on transactions at places of 31 business located within the State Sales Tax Boundary during 32 the base year which shall be the calendar year immediately 33 prior to the year in which the municipality adopted tax 34 increment allocation financing, less 3.0% of such amounts -41- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 generated under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax 2 Act and Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax 3 Act, which sum shall be appropriated to the Department of 4 Revenue to cover its costs of administering and enforcing 5 this Section. For purposes of computing the aggregate amount 6 of such taxes for base years occurring prior to 1985, the 7 Department of Revenue shall compute the Initial Sales Tax 8 Amount for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to 9 4% of the aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year 10 the base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total 11 deduction of 12%. The amount so determined shall be known as 12 the "Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amount". For purposes of 13 determining the State Sales Tax Increment the Department of 14 Revenue shall for each period subtract from the tax amounts 15 received from retailers and servicemen on transactions 16 located in the State Sales Tax Boundary, the certified 17 Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts 18 or Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Retailers' 19 Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act 20 and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For the State Fiscal 21 Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by utilizing the 22 calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts received. For 23 the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation shall be made by 24 utilizing the period from January 1, 1988, until September 25 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts received from 26 retailers and servicemen, which shall have deducted therefrom 27 nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, 28 Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial 29 Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year 30 1991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period 31 from October 1, 1988, until June 30, 1989, to determine the 32 tax amounts received from retailers and servicemen, which 33 shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified 34 Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax -42- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as 2 appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year thereafter, the 3 applicable period shall be the 12 months beginning July 1 and 4 ending on June 30, to determine the tax amounts received 5 which shall have deducted therefrom the certified Initial 6 Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the 7 Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts. Municipalities intending 8 to receive a distribution of State Sales Tax Increment must 9 report a list of retailers to the Department of Revenue by 10 October 31, 1988 and by July 31, of each year thereafter. 11 (t) "Taxing districts" means counties, townships, cities 12 and incorporated towns and villages, school, road, park, 13 sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health, 14 fire protection, river conservancy, tuberculosis sanitarium 15 and any other municipal corporations or districts with the 16 power to levy taxes. 17 (u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs 18 of taxing districts for capital improvements that are found 19 by the municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and 20 directly result from the redevelopment project. 21 (v) As used in subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-3 of 22 this Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of 23 parcels of real property without industrial, commercial, and 24 residential buildings which has not been used for commercial 25 agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation 26 of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is 27 included in an industrial park conservation area or the 28 parcel has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was 29 part of a larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more 30 smaller tracts that were accepted for recording during the 31 period from 1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to 32 have been subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the 33 municipality taken in that connection with respect to any 34 previously approved or designated redevelopment project area -43- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 or amended redevelopment project area are hereby validated 2 and hereby declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes 3 of this Act. For purposes of this Section and only for land 4 subject to the subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land 5 is subdivided when the original plat of the proposed 6 Redevelopment Project Area or relevant portion thereof has 7 been properly certified, acknowledged, approved, and recorded 8 or filed in accordance with the Plat Act and a preliminary 9 plat, if any, for any subsequent phases of the proposed 10 Redevelopment Project Area or relevant portion thereof has 11 been properly approved and filed in accordance with the 12 applicable ordinance of the municipality. 13 (w) "Annual Total Increment" means the sum of each 14 municipality's annual Net Sales Tax Increment and each 15 municipality's annual Net Utility Tax Increment. The ratio 16 of the Annual Total Increment of each municipality to the 17 Annual Total Increment for all municipalities, as most 18 recently calculated by the Department, shall determine the 19 proportional shares of the Illinois Tax Increment Fund to be 20 distributed to each municipality. 21 (Source: P.A. 91-261, eff. 7-23-99; 91-477, eff. 8-11-99; 22 91-478, eff. 11-1-99; 91-642, eff. 8-20-99; 91-763, eff. 23 6-9-00; 92-263, eff. 8-7-01; 92-406, eff. 1-1-02; revised 24 9-19-01.) 25 (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-7) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-7) 26 Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax 27 allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the 28 redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for 29 redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so 30 issued, shall be retired in the manner provided in the 31 ordinance authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the 32 receipts of taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 33 against the taxable property included in the area, by -44- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 revenues as specified by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue 2 designated by the municipality. A municipality may in the 3 ordinance pledge all or any part of the funds in and to be 4 deposited in the special tax allocation fund created pursuant 5 to Section 11-74.4-8 to the payment of the redevelopment 6 project costs and obligations. Any pledge of funds in the 7 special tax allocation fund shall provide for distribution to 8 the taxing districts and to the Illinois Department of 9 Revenue of moneys not required, pledged, earmarked, or 10 otherwise designated for payment and securing of the 11 obligations and anticipated redevelopment project costs and 12 such excess funds shall be calculated annually and deemed to 13 be "surplus" funds. In the event a municipality only applies 14 or pledges a portion of the funds in the special tax 15 allocation fund for the payment or securing of anticipated 16 redevelopment project costs or of obligations, any such funds 17 remaining in the special tax allocation fund after complying 18 with the requirements of the application or pledge, shall 19 also be calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds. All 20 surplus funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be 21 distributed annually within 180 days after the close of the 22 municipality's fiscal year by being paid by the municipal 23 treasurer to the County Collector, to the Department of 24 Revenue and to the municipality in direct proportion to the 25 tax incremental revenue received as a result of an increase 26 in the equalized assessed value of property in the 27 redevelopment project area, tax incremental revenue received 28 from the State and tax incremental revenue received from the 29 municipality, but not to exceed as to each such source the 30 total incremental revenue received from that source. The 31 County Collector shall thereafter make distribution to the 32 respective taxing districts in the same manner and proportion 33 as the most recent distribution by the county collector to 34 the affected districts of real property taxes from real -45- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 property in the redevelopment project area. 2 Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the 3 municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the 4 special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater 5 than the term of the obligations towards payment of such 6 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a) 7 net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b) 8 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the 9 municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the 10 municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the 11 redevelopment project; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated 12 receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge. 13 Such obligations may be issued in one or more series 14 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate 15 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance. 16 Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at 17 such time or times not exceeding 20 years from their 18 respective dates, be in such denomination, carry such 19 registration privileges, be executed in such manner, be 20 payable in such medium of payment at such place or places, 21 contain such covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject 22 to redemption as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations 23 issued pursuant to this Act may be sold at public or private 24 sale at such price as shall be determined by the corporate 25 authorities of the municipalities. No referendum approval of 26 the electors shall be required as a condition to the issuance 27 of obligations pursuant to this Division except as provided 28 in this Section. 29 In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of 30 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division 31 secured by the full faith and credit of the municipality, 32 which obligations are other than obligations which may be 33 issued under home rule powers provided by Article VII, 34 Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes -46- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 pursuant to (b) or (c) of the second paragraph of this 2 section, the ordinance authorizing the issuance of such 3 obligations or pledging such taxes shall be published within 4 10 days after such ordinance has been passed in one or more 5 newspapers, with general circulation within such 6 municipality. The publication of the ordinance shall be 7 accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific number of voters 8 required to sign a petition requesting the question of the 9 issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes to be 10 submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such 11 petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective 12 referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition 13 form to any individual requesting one. 14 If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as 15 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after 16 the publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in 17 effect. But, if within that 30 day period a petition is 18 filed with the municipal clerk, signed by electors in the 19 municipality numbering 10% or more of the number of 20 registered voters in the municipality, asking that the 21 question of issuing obligations using full faith and credit 22 of the municipality as security for the cost of paying for 23 redevelopment project costs, or of pledging taxes for the 24 payment of such obligations, or both, be submitted to the 25 electors of the municipality, the corporate authorities of 26 the municipality shall call a special election in the manner 27 provided by law to vote upon that question, or, if a general, 28 State or municipal election is to be held within a period of 29 not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date such 30 petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next 31 general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the 32 canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a 33 majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor 34 thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority -47- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 of the electors voting upon the question are not in favor 2 thereof, the ordinance shall not take effect. 3 The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide 4 that the obligations shall contain a recital that they are 5 issued pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be 6 conclusive evidence of their validity and of the regularity 7 of their issuance. 8 In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of 9 obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full 10 faith and credit of the municipality, the ordinance 11 authorizing the obligations may provide for the levy and 12 collection of a direct annual tax upon all taxable property 13 within the municipality sufficient to pay the principal 14 thereof and interest thereon as it matures, which levy may be 15 in addition to and exclusive of the maximum of all other 16 taxes authorized to be levied by the municipality, which 17 levy, however, shall be abated to the extent that monies from 18 other sources are available for payment of the obligations 19 and the municipality certifies the amount of said monies 20 available to the county clerk. 21 A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with 22 the county clerk of each county in which any portion of the 23 municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority 24 for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited 25 in the special tax allocation fund. 26 A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund 27 in whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such 28 municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or 29 prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity 30 of the refunding obligations shall not be expressed to mature 31 later than December 31 of the year in which the payment to 32 the municipal treasurer as provided in subsection (b) of 33 Section 11-74.4-8 of this Act is to be made with respect to 34 ad valorem taxes levied in the twenty-third calendar year -48- LRB9216147SMdvam01 1 after the year in which the ordinance approving the 2 redevelopment project area is adopted if the ordinance was 3 adopted on or after January 15, 1981, and not later than 4 December 31 of the year in which the payment to the municipal 5 treasurer as provided in subsection (b) of Section 11-74.4-8 6 of this Act is to be made with respect to ad valorem taxes 7 levied in the thirty-fifth calendar year after the year in 8 which the ordinance approving the redevelopment project area 9 is adopted (A) if the ordinance was adopted before January 10 15, 1981, or (B) if the ordinance was adopted in December 11 1983, April 1984, July 1985, or December 1989, or (C) if the 12 ordinance was adopted in December, 1987 and the redevelopment 13 project
