COMMUNICATIONS FROM JIM MALMGREN - CITY ATTORNEY, City Attorney attended a seminar in Chicago on the recent changes to the Tax Increment le~islation. Hopefully more changes will be coming later this year, I will be providing the council with a detailed written report with some recommendations, Jim gave a overview of his upcoming report: The Tax Increment statute has recently been changed so that now municipality's may acquire sales tax increment as well as the real property tax increment. Add- itionally the municipality may also acquire a utility tax increment. Plus Industrial Parks ~ now qualify for tax increment treatment. In order to invoke the new increments in the existin~; Tax Increment area, all we have to do is pass a ordinance. And I would strongly recommend to the council they give very serious consideration to doing that. I recommend you wait until David Leezer is here, and that you ~aaib to take final action on that later in the year, And the reason ft~r that is that the present legislation when it was enacted indit~.a~ed that the sales tax u~oulc~ apply to any Tax Increment t~rea created on or before December 31st, 1986. Because Industrial Parks may now qualify there would hopefully be more major future expenses in railraad spur, more masses of gas lines to supply industry that will be out there. My next recommendation to the council is that you give serious consideration and study to making at least the Industrial Park a larger area. COMMUNICATTONS FROM MAYOR EDWARDS. David Leezer put in a day of work last Monday to refile the papers with the State of Illinois for B& K Specialty Casting Company.

Mayor Edwards said he will be presenting to the Legal & Ordinance Committee the State of Illinois has a pro~;ram on Certified Cities. 3~3 CONTINUED MARCH 4, 1986 It helps to identify what we have been doing the last 5 years in putting in an Industrial Park. There are 5 different categories that we have to excel in to become a certified city. I will ask the Legal & Ordinance Comanittee to draft a resolution which would start this process. After the resblution is passed I would appoint a committee that would work on putting togather an organization which would bri~ng all these differemt things tog~.ther. Most of the things that are needed are already in place. A few things in the downtown area, someone who oversees the downtown area. After you've done all your homework you invite the State in and they make the decision. Its not permanent, you have to recertify every 3 years. Being certified sends a signal out to business's, it says we have a business plan, and a financial plan, we have everything your lookin~ for. ~ OLD BUSINESS: ~ ORDINANCE - AMENDTNG TITLE 6 BY ADDING CHAPTER~11 RELATING TO THE (v OFFENSE OF LIBRARY THEFT.Se~oi~d reading, read by'title.
