AMENDMENT TO THE HOME RULE COUNTY RETAILERS’ OCCUPATION TAX ORDINANCE (PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT).  Submitting a Proposed Ordinance Amendment sponsored by Todd H. Stroger, President, Cook County Board of Commissioners; Co-Sponsored by William M. Beavers, Earlean Collins, Joseph Mario Moreno, Joan Patricia Murphy, Deborah Sims and Robert B.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

 

HOME RULE COUNTY RETAILERS’ OCCUPATION TAX

 

WHEREAS, County of Cook is a home rule unit of local government pursuant to Article VII, Section 6(a) of the 1970 Illinois Constitution; and

 

WHEREAS, while other taxing districts within Cook County have consistently increased their property tax levy on an annual basis, Cook County has not increased its property tax levy since 1996 and the levy has remained constant at $720 million; and

 

WHEREAS, in an effort to streamline County government and prevent further economic hardship on County residents, the Cook County Board of Commissioners implemented budgetary cuts in the 2007 fiscal year with an on average seventeen percent (17%) countywide budgetary reduction; and

 

WHEREAS, Cook County has a structural deficit and due to County Board approved appropriations and contractual obligations, the Board of Cook County Commissioners acknowledged the need for additional revenue and increased County revenue in a manner that would afford adequate funding to maintain essential services; and

 

WHEREAS, as a home rule county, County of Cook is authorized by 55 ILCS 5/5-1006 to impose a tax upon all persons in Cook County engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property; and

 

WHEREAS, in an effort to address its fiscal responsibilities, effective July 1, 2008, Cook County increased the tax imposed pursuant to this Home Rule County Retailers’ Occupation Tax Ordinance by one percent (1%) excluding vital goods such as groceries and medicines as well as vehicles and other titled property; and

 

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board’s increase to this Home Rule County Retailers’ Occupation Tax Ordinance, the first increase in over sixteen (16) years equates to an increase by one penny on the dollar; and

 

WHEREAS, the increase to the Home Rule County Retailers’ Occupation Tax Ordinance was considered and approved by the Board of Commissioners in order to prevent the elimination of vital County services; and

 

WHEREAS, Cook County now anticipates additional revenue as a result of the federal economic stimulus plan and negotiations with the State of Illinois regarding the public health portion of the County’s budget and as a result believes that it would be fiscally prudent to reduce the increased portion of the Home Rule County Retailers’ Occupation Tax by a quarter percent (.25%); and

 

WHEREAS, in addition, on April 7, 2009, a number of Townships had a question regarding Cook County’s increased sales tax, those Townships voiced their concern and though such referenda is advisory in nature and not binding, it is good public policy to provide that the opinions of the voters be acknowledged and heard; and

 

WHEREAS, reductions greater than a quarter percent (.25%) at this time may disproportionately affect public safety and the health system, causing layoffs in offices that include the Sheriff, State’s Attorney, Public Defender, Chief Judge, Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Cook County Health and Hospital System; and

 

WHEREAS, a reduction in the increased portion of the Home Rule County Retailers’ Occupation Tax is proposed at a quarter percent (.25%).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Cook County Board of Commissioners that Chapter 74 Taxation, Article IV, Sections 74-150 through 74-152, of the Cook County Code is hereby amended as follows:

 

ARTICLE IV.  RETAILERS’ OCCUPATION TAX.

The tax shall be paid in the manner provided in such statute.

 

Sec. 74-152.   Notification of the Illinois Department of Revenue.

 

            The Clerk of the Board is hereby authorized and directed to obtain and transmit a certified copy of this Ordinance to the Illinois Department of Revenue not later than five days after its effective date, and in no case later than April October 1, 20089 so as to enable the Illinois Department of Revenue to proceed to administer and enforce this Ordinance, on behalf of the County of Cook, as of July January 1, 200810.
