Illinois Code § 30-85

§ 30-85.

Budget and appropriation ordinance; levy ordinance. (a) The board shall, within the first quarter of each fiscal year and no later than the fourth Tuesday of September, prepare and enact a budget and appropriation ordinance pursuant to the provisions of the Illinois Municipal Budget Law. A certified copy of the ordinance shall be published once, and the board shall then ascertain the total amount of the appropriation made for all purposes permitted by this Act and the total amount of monies necessary to be raised for the appropriation. (b) By the first Tuesday in December, after publication of the appropriation ordinance, the board shall enact a levy ordinance incorporating the appropriation ordinance by reference and levying not more than the total amount of the appropriation (taking into consideration monies to be raised from other than tax sources) upon all property subject to taxation within the district as that property is assessed and equalized for State and county purposes for that year. (c) The secretary shall file, on or before the last Tuesday in December, a certified copy of the levy ordinance with the county clerk of each county affected by the levy. Where more than one county is involved, the secretary shall supply and certify under his or her signature and seal of the district additional information required by each county clerk for the clerk's determination of the portion of the levy required to be levied in his or her county. (d) The county clerk shall ascertain the rate per cent that, upon the full, fair cash value of all property subject to taxation within the district, as that property is assessed or equalized by the Department of Revenue, will produce a net amount of not less than the total amount so directed to be levied and then add on for collection loss and costs. The county clerk shall extend this tax in a separate column upon the books of the collector of State and county taxes within the district. (e) The secretary shall also file, on or before the last Tuesday of December, certified copies of the appropriation and levy ordinances with the library or libraries operated by the district and shall make copies available to public inspection at all times.
