Section 10. Commissioners. |
The affairs of the district shall be managed by a
board of |
3 commissioners who shall be appointed by the chairman of the |
county board of the county in which the
district is situated. |
All initial appointments under this Section must be made within |
90 days after the district is organized. Of the initial |
appointments, one commissioner shall serve for a one-year term, |
one commissioner shall serve for a 2-year term, and one |
commissioner shall serve for a 3-year term, as determined by |
lot. Their successors shall be appointed for 3-year terms. No |

same political party at the time of the appointment. With |
respect to appointments representing the minority party in the |
county, the minority party members of the county board may |
submit names for consideration to the chairman of the county |
board. Each commissioner must be a
legal voter in the district, |
and at least one commissioner shall reside or own property that |
is located within a floodplain situated in the territory of the |
flood protection district. Commissioners shall serve without |
|

|
Section 20. Powers of the district. A district formed under |
this Act shall have the following powers: |
(1) To sue or be sued. |
(2) To apply for and accept gifts, grants, and loans |
from any public agency or private entity. |
(3) To enter into intergovernmental agreements to |
further ensure levee repair, levee construction or |
reconstruction, and flood prevention, including agreements |
with the United States Army Corps of Engineers or any other |
agency or department of the federal government. |
(4) To undertake evaluation, planning, design, |
construction, and related activities that are determined |
to be urgently needed to stabilize, repair, restore, |
improve, or replace existing levees and other flood control |
systems. |
(5) To address underseepage problems and old and |
deteriorating pumps, gates, pipes, electrical controls, |
and other infrastructure. |
(6) To conduct evaluations of levees and other flood |
control facilities that protect urban areas, including the |
performance of floodplain mapping studies. |
(7) To provide capital moneys for levee or |
river-related scientific studies, including the |
|
construction of facilities for such purposes. |
(8) To borrow money or receive money from the United |
States Government or any agency
thereof, or from any other |
public or private source, for the purposes of
the District. |
(9) To enter into agreements with private property |
owners. |
(10) To issue revenue bonds, payable from revenue |
received from a retailers' occupation tax imposed under |
Section 25 of this Act, and from any other revenue sources |
available to the flood prevention district. These bonds may |
be
issued with maturities not exceeding 25 years from the |
date of the
bonds, and in such amounts as may be necessary |
to provide sufficient
funds, together with interest, for |
the purposes of the District. These
bonds shall bear |
interest at a rate of not more than the maximum rate
|
authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the |
time of the
making of the contract of sale, payable |
semi-annually, may be made
registerable as to
principal, |
and may be made payable and callable as provided on any |
date at a price of
par and accrued interest under such |
terms and conditions as may be fixed by the
ordinance |
authorizing the issuance of the bonds. Bonds issued under |
this
Section are negotiable instruments. In case any |
officer whose signature appears on the
bonds or
coupons |
ceases to hold that office before the bonds are delivered, |
such
officer's
signature shall nevertheless be valid and |
|
sufficient for all purposes the
same as though such officer |
had remained in office until the bonds
were delivered. The
|
bonds shall be sold in such manner and upon such terms as |
the board of commissioners
shall determine, except that the |
selling price shall be such that the interest
cost to the |
District of the proceeds of the bonds shall not exceed the |
maximum
rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as |
amended at the time of the
making of the contract of sale, |
payable semi-annually, computed to maturity
according
to |
the standard table of bond values. A request to issue |
revenue bonds by the Commission must be submitted for |
approval to the county board of the county in which the |
district is situated. The county board has 30 calendar days |
to approve the issuance of such bonds. If the county board |
does not approve or disapprove the issuance of the bonds |
within 30 calendar days after the receipt of such request, |
the request shall be deemed approved. |
(11) To acquire property by gift, grant, or eminent |
domain, in accordance with the Eminent Domain Act. Any |
action by the District to acquire property by eminent |
domain requires the express approval of the county board. |
(12) To retain professional staff to carry out the |
functions of the District. Any flood prevention district |
shall employ a Chief Supervisor of Construction and the |
Works with appropriate professional qualifications, |
including a degree in engineering, construction, |
|
hydrology, or a related field, or an equivalent combination |
of education and experience. The Chief Supervisor of |
Construction and the Works shall be vested with the |
authority to carry out the duties and mission of the Flood |
Prevention District, pursuant to the direction and |
supervision of the Board of Commissioners. The Chief |
Supervisor of Construction and the Works may hire |
additional staff as necessary to carry out the duties and |
mission of the district, including administrative support |
personnel. Two or more districts may, through an |
intergovernmental agreement, share the services of a Chief |
Supervisor of Construction and the Works, support staff, or |
both. If 2 districts are adjoining and share a common |
federal levee, they must retain the services of the same |
person as Chief Supervisor of Construction and the Works. |
(13) To conduct an audit of any drainage, levee, or |
sanitary district within the territory of the flood |
prevention district.
|
Section 25. Retailers' occupation tax. |
(a) If the Board of a flood prevention district determines |
that an emergency situation exists regarding levee repair or |
flood prevention, and upon an ordinance or resolution adopted |
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the |
county board of the county in which the district is situated, |
it may impose a
retailers' occupation tax upon all persons |
|
engaged in the business of
selling tangible personal property |
at retail within the territory of the district for a period not |
to exceed 25 years or as required to repay the bonds issued |
pursuant to Section 20 of this Act.
The tax rate shall be 0.25%
|
of the gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course |
of that
business. The tax
imposed under this Section and all |
civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof |
shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of |
Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and |
enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties
so |
collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine |
all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the |
erroneous payment
of tax or penalty hereunder. |
In the administration of and compliance with this |
subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this |
subsection (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, |

11, 11a, 12, and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and |
all provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as if |
|
those provisions were set forth in this subsection. |
Persons subject to any tax imposed under this Section may |
reimburse themselves for their seller's tax
liability |
hereunder by separately stating the tax as an additional
|
charge, which charge may be stated in combination in a single |
amount
with State taxes that sellers are required to collect |
under the Use
Tax Act, under any bracket schedules the
|
Department may prescribe. |
If a tax is imposed under this subsection (a), a tax shall |
also
be imposed under subsection (b) of this Section. |
(b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a |
service occupation
tax shall
also be imposed upon all persons |
within the territory of the district engaged in
the business of |
making sales of service, who, as an incident to making the |
sales
of service, transfer tangible personal property within |
the territory of the district,
either in the form of tangible |
personal property or in the form of real estate
as an incident |
to a sale of service. The tax rate shall be 0.25% of the |
selling price
of all tangible personal property transferred. |
The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
|
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be |
collected
and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The |
Department shall
have full power to administer and enforce this |
subsection; to collect all
taxes and penalties due hereunder; |
to dispose of taxes and penalties
collected in the manner |
hereinafter provided; and to determine all
rights to credit |
|
memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment
of tax or |
penalty hereunder. |
In the administration of and compliance with this |
subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this |
subsection (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, |
immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same |
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and |
definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of |
procedure as are set forth in Sections 2 (except that that |
reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a |
place of business in this State means the district), 2a through |
2d, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions contained in |
those Sections other than the State rate of tax), 4 (except |
that the reference to the State shall be to the district), 5, |
7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the tax is a debt |
to the extent indicated in that Section 8 is the district), 9 |
(except as to the disposition of taxes and penalties |
collected), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section |
2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any |
reference to the State means the district), Section 15, 16, 17, |
18, 19, and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and all |
provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as |
if those provisions were set forth herein. |
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority |
granted
in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their |
serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating the |
|
tax as an additional
charge, that charge may be stated in |
combination in a single amount
with State tax that servicemen |
are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax Act, under |
any bracket schedules the
Department may prescribe. |
(c) This additional tax may not be imposed on personal |
property titled or registered with an agency of the State; food |

where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, |
and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption); |
prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs, and |
medical appliances; or insulin, urine testing materials, and |
syringes and needles used by diabetics. |

the
district to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in |
any business
that under the Constitution of the United States |
may not be made the
subject of taxation by the State. |
(e) The certificate of registration that is issued by the |
Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax |
Act or a serviceman under the Service Occupation Tax Act |
permits the retailer or serviceman to engage in a business that |
is taxable without registering separately with the Department |
under an ordinance or resolution under this Section. |
(f) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State |
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties |
collected under this Section to be deposited into the Flood |
Prevention Occupation Tax Fund, which shall be an |
|
unappropriated trust fund held outside the State treasury. |
On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the |
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller that |
disbursement of stated sums of money to the counties from which |
retailers or servicemen have paid taxes or penalties to the |
Department during the second preceding calendar month. The |
amount to be paid to each county is equal to the amount (not |
including credit memoranda) collected from the county under |
this Section during the second preceding calendar month by the |
Department, (i) less 2% of that amount, which shall be |
deposited into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund and |
shall be used by the Department in administering and enforcing |
the provisions of this Section on behalf of the county, (ii) |
plus an amount that the Department determines is necessary to |
offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different |
taxing body; (iii) less an amount equal to the amount of |
refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by the |
Department on behalf of the county; and (iv) less any amount |
that the Department determines is necessary to offset any |
amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but were |
erroneously paid to the county. When certifying the amount of a |
monthly disbursement to a county under this Section, the |
Department shall increase or decrease the amounts by an amount |
necessary to offset any miscalculation of previous |
disbursements within the previous 6 months from the time a |
miscalculation is discovered. |
|
Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller from the |
Department of the disbursement certification to the counties |
provided for in this Section, the Comptroller shall cause the |
orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance |
with directions contained in the certification. |
If the Department determines that a refund should be made |
under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a credit |
memorandum, then the Department shall notify the Comptroller, |
who shall cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified |
and to the person named in the notification from the |
Department. The refund shall be paid by the Treasurer out of |
the Flood Prevention Occupation Tax Fund. |
(g) If a flood prevention district board imposes a tax |
under this Section, then the board shall, by ordinance, |
discontinue the tax upon the payment of all bonded indebtedness |

Revenue either (i) on or before the first day of April, |
whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and |
enforce the tax or change in the rate as of the first day of |

the county board.
