(70 ILCS 1530/0.01) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.43d9) Sec. 0.01. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Chicago Park District Corporate Note Act. (Source: P.A. 86-1324.)

(70 ILCS 1530/1) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.43e) Sec. 1. The Chicago Park District organized under "An Act in relation to the creation, maintenance, operation and improvement of the Chicago Park District", approved July 10, 1933, as amended, is authorized to issue from time to time general obligation corporate notes in an amount not to exceed 75% of the corporate taxes levied for the year during which said notes are issued, provided no such notes shall be issued at any time there are tax anticipation warrants outstanding against the corporate tax levied for the year during which such notes are issued. Such notes shall bear interest at a rate of not to exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract, and shall mature within 2 years from date. In order to authorize and issue such notes the Chicago Park District shall adopt an ordinance fixing the amount of notes, the date thereof, the maturity thereof, rate of interest thereof, place of payment and denomination, which shall be in equal multiples of $1,000, and provide for the levy and collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable property within the jurisdiction of the Chicago Park District sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such notes to maturity. Upon the filing in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the Chicago Park District is located of a certified copy of such ordinance it shall be the duty of the County Clerk to extend the tax therefor in addition to and in excess of all other taxes heretofore or hereafter authorized to be levied by the Chicago Park District. From and after such notes have been issued as provided for by this Act, while such notes are outstanding, it shall be the duty of the County Clerk in computing the tax rate for corporate purposes of any such district to reduce the rate for corporate purposes by the amount levied to pay the principal of and interest on the notes authorized by this Act; provided the tax rate shall not be reduced beyond the amount necessary to reimburse any money borrowed from the working cash fund, and it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Chicago Park District annually, not less than 30 days prior to the tax extension date, to certify to the County Clerk the amount of money borrowed from the working cash fund to be reimbursed from the corporate tax levy. No reimbursement shall be made to the working cash fund until there has been accumulated from the tax levy provided for the notes, an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such notes to maturity. With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.
