WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chicago (the "City Council") finds that it is in the public interest that consideration be given to the creation of an area within the City of Chicago to be known and designated as Special Service Area Number 69 (the "Area") and to the authorization of the levy of a special annual services tax (the "Services Tax") for a period of ten (10) years within the Area for the purposes set forth herein; that the Area is contiguous; and that said special services are in addition to municipal services provided by and to the City of Chicago generally, and it is, therefore, in the best interests of the City of Chicago that the creation of the Area and the levy of the Services Tax within the Area for the services to be provided be considered; now, therefore,
 
Be It Ordained by the City Council of the City of Chicago:

At the Hearing there will be considered the levy of the Services Tax upon the taxable property within the Area sufficient to produce revenues required to provide special services in the Area. The Services Tax shall not exceed the annual sum of two percent of the equalized assessed value of the taxable property within the Area. The Services Tax shall be authorized to be levied in tax years 2014 through and including 2023. The proposed amount of the tax levy for special services for the initial year for which taxes will be levied within the Area in tax year 2014 is $415,843. The Services Tax shall be in addition to all other taxes provided by law and shall be levied pursuant to the provisions of the Property Tax Code, as amended from time to time.
