WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8 of the Act ("Section 8"), when redevelopment projects costs for a redevelopment project area, including without limitation all municipal obligations financing redevelopment project costs incurred under the Act, have been paid, all surplus funds then remaining in the special tax allocation fund for a redevelopment project area designated under the Act shall be distributed by being paid by the municipal treasurer to the State of Illinois Department of Revenue, the municipality and the county collector; first to the Department of Revenue and the municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental revenue received from the State of Illinois and the municipality, but not to exceed the total incremental revenue received from the State or the municipality less any annual surplus distribution of incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining funds to be paid to the county collector who shall immediately thereafter pay said funds to the taxing districts in the redevelopment project area in the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by the county collector to the affected districts of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment project area; and

 

WHEREAS, furthermore, pursuant to Section 8, upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs, the retirement of obligations, the distribution of any excess monies pursuant to Section 8, and final closing of the books and records of the redevelopment project area, the municipality shall adopt an ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation fund for the redevelopment project area and terminating the designation of the redevelopment project area as a redevelopment project area; and

 

WHEREAS, furthermore, pursuant to Section 8, municipalities shall notify affected taxing districts prior to November 1 if a redevelopment project area is to be terminated by December 31 of that same year; and

 

WHEREAS, the City has, prior to November 1, 2022, notified the affected taxing districts of the proposed termination of the Area as a redevelopment project area, in accordance with the provisions of the Act; and
