This program will work to strengthen the State’s Attorney’s response to felony sexual assault and felony domestic violence cases with adult female victims. The Violence Against Women Total Response Program builds upon the work of two other programs in the State’s Attorney’s Office, the Sex Offender Prosecution Program and the Chicago Response Domestic Violence Program. The new program is designed to have prosecutors who are specially trained on violent crimes against women (such as domestic violence and sexual assault) in both the felony review section and felony trial sections of the State’s Attorney’s Office at the Criminal Courthouse located at 2650 South California Avenue in Chicago.

HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM

ITEM #76

APPROVED

Transmitting a Communication, dated May 25, 2004 from

GWENDOLYN D. CLEMONS, Director, Department of Planning and Development

Re: HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME Program)

respectfully request approval for the establishment of an $800,000.00 lending pool to provide low-interest secondary mortgage financing to pre-qualified for-profit investors to provide approximately 20 affordable housing units for low-income Housing Choice Voucher holders, using HOME Investment Partnerships funds. The project sponsor is Cook County Housing Development Corporation (CCHDC) d/b/a Turnstone Development Corporation, which is the development arm to the Housing Authority of Cook County.

HOME funds will be used to provide financing to real estate developers to purchase single family housing in non impacted areas where there are no more than 10% minority concentration and/or of poverty concentration in Cook County. In addition to the HOME program, funds will also be provided by 10% owner’s equity, the Federal Home Loan Bank, LaSalle Bank and the Illinois Housing Development Authority. For its participation, the HOME program estimates providing assistance for the creation of 20 affordable housing units. The total development cost for the 20 units is estimated at $3,300,000.00 with the County providing 28% of the cost or $40,000.00 per unit. Each HOME loan to the developer will be structured at 1%, amortized for a period of 30-years, carrying a 15-year term. The County HOME Program will receive monthly principal and interest payments from each property of approximately $128.66. Annual payment for each individual unit is projected at $1,543.87 which will be used for other HOME eligible activities.

I respectfully request approval of this project, and that the Chief Administrative Officer of the County of Cook, or his designee, be authorized to execute on behalf of the County of Cook, and all documents necessary to further the project approved herein, including the HOME Loan agreements and any modifications thereto. These loans will be closed with assistance of the State’s Attorney’s Office, which assistance will include that office drafting the County’s loan documents. The approval and establishment of this funding pool by this Honorable Body will permit staff to issue necessary commitments to allow this project to move forward.

Estimated Fiscal Impact: None. Grant funded amount: $800,000.00. (772-298 Account).

ITEM #85

REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT #266178

Transmitting a Communication, dated May 24, 2004 from

JAMES M. HOULIHAN, Cook County Assessor

I am requesting that the Board of Commissioners approve an amendment to the Class 6b Classification Ordinance that clarifies necessary document submittals and time frames relating to requests to shorten the 24-month abandonment period.

Currently, applicants seeking 6b incentives for new construction, substantial rehabilitation or the reoccupation of property abandoned for longer than 24 months may file municipal and county letters in lieu of enabling ordinances. This ordinance amendment seeks to provide that same procedure relating those properties having been abandoned for less than 24 months. Applicants would still be required to obtain approval of the necessary ordinance prior to actually receiving the benefits of the incentive.

Presently, applicants must obtain a municipal finding that "special circumstances" exist to waive the required 24 months of abandonment and also must obtain a resolution by the Cook County Board of Commissioners to validate that municipal finding. Unfortunately, the current language contained in the Ordinance does not make it plain that the option of providing a "letter in lieu of" an ordinance extends to cases involving these “special circumstances”.

All applications regarding abandoned property must be made to the Assessor’s Office within 90 days after purchase of the property. Given the scheduling constraints on the relevant governing bodies, obtaining the required resolution in 90 days is not possible at all times. Foreclosing the option of providing a "letter in lieu of" an ordinance to those property owners who seek “special circumstances” puts them in an untenable and unintended position.

Allowing an applicant to file a municipal or county "letter in lieu of" an enabling ordinance at the time it made application to the Assessor became effective on January 1, 2000. Although we intended that the benefits and flexibility provided by this amendment apply in all cases, the current language contained in the Ordinance is not clear as to the matter. This ambiguity was unintentional and the result of an oversight in the drafting of those amendments that became effective on January 1, 2000, and for this reason this change is sought.

I have submitted a copy of proposed changes to the Ordinance, which should rectify the situation once approved.

PROPOSED ORDINANCES continued

ITEM #85 cont’d

PROPOSED ORDINANCE

Class 6b: Real estate used primarily for industrial purposes, as defined herein, consisting of all newly constructed buildings or other structures, including the land upon which they are situated; or abandoned property, as defined herein, including the land upon which such property is situated; or all buildings and other structures which are substantially rehabilitated to the extent such rehabilitation has added to their value, including qualified land related to the rehabilitation. Land qualifies when the rehabilitation adds vertical or horizontal square footage to the improvements. The amount of land eligible for the incentive shall be in such proportion as the square footage added by the rehabilitation bears to the total square footage of the improvements on the parcel.

An applicant must obtain from the municipality in which the real estate is located or the Board of Commissioners of Cook County if the real estate is located in an unincorporated area, an ordinance or resolution expressly stating that the municipality or County Board, as the case may be, has determined that the incentive provided by Class 6b is necessary for development to occur on that specific real estate and that the municipality or County Board, as the case may be, supports and consents to the Class 6b application to the Assessor. A certified copy of the ordinance or resolution need not be filed at the time of filing the Class 6b eligibility application with the Assessor, but must be filed with the Assessor no later than the date an assessment appeal is filed to request the class change to Class 6b. If the resolution is not filed at the time of the eligibility application, the applicant shall instead file, at that time, a letter from the municipality or the County, as the case may be, confirming that a resolution or ordinance supporting the incentive has been requested.

A copy of the resolution or letter confirming that a resolution has been requested, whichever is filed with the application, will be forwarded by the Assessor’s Office to the Secretary of the Cook County Board for distribution to the Commissioners from the affected districts.

In the case of abandoned property, if the municipality or the Board of Commissioners, as the case may be, finds that special circumstances justify finding that the property is “abandoned” for purpose of Class 6b, even though it has been vacant and unused for less than 24 months, that finding, along with the specification of the circumstances, shall be included in the resolution or ordinance supporting and consenting to the Class 6b application. Such resolution or ordinance shall be ~~filed~~ included with the eligibility application. If the ordinance or resolution is that of a municipality, the approval of the Board of Commissioners of Cook County is required to validate such shortened period of qualifying abandonment, and a resolution to that effect shall be included with the Class 6b eligibility application. The applicant must obtain the municipal enabling ordinance with the required finding of special circumstances and present such municipal ordinance to the Board of Commissioners of Cook County prior to its determination as to whether it will validate such a shortened period of qualifying abandonment and provide a County resolution to that effect. A certified copy of an ordinance or resolution finding that special circumstances exist, as well as a certified copy of a County ordinance or resolution validating the shortened period of qualifying abandonment need not be filed at the time of filing the Class 6b eligibility application with the Assessor, but must be filed with the Assessor no later than the date an assessment appeal is filed to request the class change to Class 6b. If the resolution is not filed at the time of the eligibility application, the applicant shall instead file, at that time, a letter from the municipality or the County as the case may be, confirming that a resolution or ordinance regarding special circumstances has been requested.

This classification shall continue for a period of twelve years from the date such new construction (excluding demolition, if any) or such substantial rehabilitation was completed and initially assessed, or in the case of abandoned property, from the date of substantial reoccupancy. This incentive may be renewed during the last year a property is entitled to a 16% assessment level, if the following requirements are met:

1. the taxpayer notifies the Assessor’s Office of his intent to request renewal of the incentive from the municipality, or the Board of Commissioners of Cook County if the real estate is located in an unincorporated area; and

PROPOSED ORDINANCES continued

ITEM #85 cont’d

2. the municipality in which the real estate is located or the Board of Commissioners of Cook County, if the real estate is located in an unincorporated area, adopts a resolution expressly stating that the municipality or County Board, as the case may be, has determined that the industrial use of the property is necessary and beneficial to the local economy, and supports and consents to renewal of the Class 6b; and

3. a copy of that resolution and a completed renewal application are filed with the Office of the Assessor before the expiration of the 16% assessment level period.

The number of renewal periods is not limited as long as the property continues to apply and qualify for Class 6b. Any property which applies for Class 6b treatment on or before the adoption date of this ordinance change will be eligible for this renewal term at the end of their original incentive period subject to the above requirements. If, on the effective date of this Ordinance, a property is receiving Class 6b treatment, but the assessment level is higher than 16%, that taxpayer may apply for renewal as outlined above and receive a 16% assessment level for the prescribed period beginning after the filing and approval of the resolution and renewal application. However, as of that effective date, the taxpayer’s assessment is higher than 16% and the taxpayer is granted a renewal of the incentive for subsequent years, no reduction of the current assessment level based on renewal of the incentive will be granted.

The notice of intent to request renewal which is filed with the Assessor’s Office will be forwarded by the Assessor’s Office to the Secretary of the Cook County Board for distribution to Commissioners from the affected districts.

If no renewal is obtained, the incentive shall be phased out over the next two years, pursuant to Section 3 below. After expiration of the last incentive period, the real estate shall revert to the applicable classification under this Ordinance.

Additionally, for newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated buildings and other structures to qualify for Class 6b classification, an eligibility application must be made to the Assessor within one year prior to the commencement of such new construction or substantial rehabilitation. With respect to abandoned property, the eligibility application must be made to the Assessor no later than ninety days after purchase for value if such property is encompassed within the definition herein of abandoned property by reason of purchase for value; or within one year prior to the commencement of substantial rehabilitation if such property is encompassed within that definition by reason of substantial rehabilitation.

The Assessor may adopt rules consistent with the foregoing necessary to ensure proper review of all factors relevant to determine eligibility for the benefits provided under Class 6b.

The Assessor shall provide by rule for the filing of triennial reassessment reports by all Class 6b recipients as to the use of the property and the number of persons employed at the Class 6b site. Such reports shall be verified. Failure to file such reports within the time established by the Assessor's rules shall result in loss of the incentive for the period relating to the non-filing.

In connection with the remarketing of any Variable Rate Bonds so tendered for purchase under the terms and conditions so specified by the Chief Financial Officer, the President and the Chief Financial Officer are each hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the County a remarketing agreement in customary form at customary fees used for variable rate financings of the County with appropriate revisions to reflect the terms and provisions of the Bonds sold as Variable Rate Bonds and such other revisions in text as the Chief Financial Officer shall determine are necessary or desirable in connection with the sale of the Bonds as Variable Rate Bonds.

So long as the Bonds are held in Book Entry Form, interest on each Bond shall be paid to the Depository by check or draft or electronic funds transfer, in lawful money of the United States of America, as may be agreed in the Representations Letter; in the event the Bonds should ever become available in physical form to registered owners other than the Depository, interest on each Bond shall be paid by check or draft of the Trustee, payable upon presentation thereof in lawful money of the United States of America, or by electronic funds transfer of lawful money of the United States of America, as may be provided, to the person in whose name such Bond is registered at the close of business on the applicable Regular Record Date, and mailed to the address or transferred to such account of such registered owner as it appears on the Bond Register or at such other address or account as may be furnished in writing to the Trustee.

All Bonds shall have thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinafter set forth duly executed by the Trustee as authenticating agent of the County and showing the date of authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under this Ordinance unless and until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Ordinance. The certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by the Trustee if signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder.

SECTION 4. BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond for each of the maturities of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the Bond Register in such name as may be provided by the Depository (the “Book Entry Owner”) and, accordingly, in Book Entry Form as provided and defined herein. Any Designated Officer is authorized to execute a Representations Letter or to utilize the provisions of an existing Representations Letter. Without limiting the generality of the authority given with respect to entering into the Representations Letter for the Bonds, it may contain provisions relating to (a) payment procedures, (b) transfers of the Bonds or of beneficial interests therein, (c) redemption notices and procedures unique to the Depository, (d) additional notices or communications, and (e) amendment from time to time to conform with changing customs and practices with respect to securities industry transfer and payment practices. With respect to Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of the Book Entry Owner, neither the County nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank, or other financial institution for which the Depository holds Bonds from time to time as securities depository (each such broker-dealer, bank, or other financial institution being referred to herein as a “Depository Participant”) or to any person on behalf of whom such a Depository Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence, neither the County nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Book Entry Owner, or any Depository Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds; (b) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register or as expressly provided in the Representations Letter, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption; or (c) the payment to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds. No person other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register shall receive a Bond certificate with respect to any Bond. In the event that the agreement among the County and the Depository evidenced by the Representations Letter shall be terminated for any reason; the County shall notify the Depository of the availability of Bond certificates, and the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond Register to the Book Entry Owner. The County may determine at such time that the Bonds shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a book entry only system, as may be acceptable to the County, or such depository’s agent or designee, but if the County does not select such successor depository, then the Bonds shall be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of Bonds transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 5. REDEMPTION. If so provided in the relevant Bond Order or Indenture, any Bonds may be redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the County, in whole or in part on any date, at such times and at such redemption prices (to be expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of Current Interest Bonds or Variable Rate Bonds to be redeemed and as a percentage of the Compound Accreted Value of Capital Appreciation Bonds to be redeemed) not to exceed one hundred three percent (103%), plus, in the case of Current Interest Bonds or Variable Rate Bonds, accrued interest to the date of redemption, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer at the time of the sale thereof. If less than all of the outstanding Bonds of a series are to be optionally redeemed, the Bonds to be called shall be called from such series, in such principal amounts and from such maturities as may be determined by the County and within any maturity by lot within a maturity in the manner hereinafter provided. Any Current Interest Bonds or Variable Rate Bonds may be made subject to mandatory redemption, at par and accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer at the time of the sale thereof and as set forth in the relevant Bond Order or Indenture. The terms and provisions for any redemption of Variable Rate Bonds shall be as determined by the Chief Financial Officer at the time of sale of the Bonds and as set forth in a relevant Indenture, provided that such terms shall be within the limitations set forth in this Section.

ITEM #86 cont’d

In connection with any mandatory redemption of Bonds as authorized above, the principal amounts of such Bonds to be mandatorily redeemed in each year may be reduced through the earlier optional redemption thereof, with any partial optional redemptions of such Bonds credited against future mandatory redemption requirements in such order of the mandatory redemption dates as the Chief Financial Officer may determine. In the absence of such determination, partial optional redemptions of such Bonds shall be credited against future mandatory redemption requirements in inverse chronological order of such payments beginning with the amount scheduled to become due at Stated Maturity, then the amount subject to mandatory redemption in the year preceding Stated Maturity, and so on. In addition, on or prior to the 60th day preceding any mandatory redemption date, the Trustee may, and if directed by the Chief Financial Officer shall, purchase Bonds of such maturities in an amount not exceeding the amount of such Bonds required to be retired on such mandatory redemption date and at a price not exceeding par plus accrued interest. Any such Bonds so purchased shall be cancelled and the principal amount thereof shall be credited against the payment required on such next mandatory redemption date.

The County shall, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter time shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such redemption date, the years of maturity and principal amounts of Bonds to be redeemed and, if applicable, the mandatory redemption payment so affected. Current Interest Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 each and integral multiples thereof, and Capital Appreciation Bonds shall be redeemed only in amounts representing $5,000 Maturity Amount and integral multiples thereof. In the event of the redemption of less than all the Bonds of a series of like maturity, the aggregate principal amount or Maturity Amount (as appropriate) thereof to be redeemed shall be $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and the Trustee shall assign to each such Bond of such maturity a distinctive number for each $5,000 principal amount or Maturity Amount (as appropriate) of such Bond and shall select by lot from the numbers so assigned as many numbers as, at $5,000 for each number, shall equal the principal amount or Maturity Amount (as appropriate) of such Bonds to be redeemed. The Bonds to be redeemed shall be those to which were assigned numbers so selected; provided that only so much of the principal amount or Maturity Amount (as appropriate) of each Bond shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so selected.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the County in writing of the Bonds or portions of Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

Unless waived by the owner of Bonds to be redeemed or as otherwise provided in an Indenture for Variable Rate Bonds, notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Trustee on behalf of the County by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to each registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owners to the Trustee. All notices of redemption shall include at least the information as follows:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) if less than all of the Bonds of a particular series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed;

(4) a statement that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; and

(5) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee.

Such additional notice as may be agreed upon with the Depository shall also be given so long as the Bonds are held by the Depository.

On or prior to any redemption date, the County shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date.

PROPOSED ORDINANCES continued

ITEM #86 cont’d

Notice of redemption having been given as provided therefor, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the County shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular registered owner of a Bond shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other registered owners. Notice having been properly given, failure of a registered owner of a Bond to receive such notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the effect of the notice or the redemption action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by a registered owner of a Bond, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Trustee at the redemption price. Interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the registered owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same Stated Maturity in the amount of the unpaid principal or Maturity Amount.

With respect to any redemption of Bonds, unless moneys sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Trustee prior to the giving of the notice of redemption, such notice may, at the option of the County, state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. If such moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the Trustee shall not redeem such Bonds, and the Trustee shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption shall have been given, that such moneys were not so received and that such Bonds will not be redeemed.

If any Bond or portion of Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, in the case of Current Interest Bonds, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Bond or portion of Bond so called for redemption; in the case of Variable Rate Bonds, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest as provided in a relevant Indenture; and, in the case of Capital Appreciation Bonds, the Compound Accreted Value at such redemption date shall continue to accrue interest from such redemption date at the Yield to Maturity borne by such Capital Appreciation Bond, or portion thereof, so called for redemption. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Trustee and shall not be reissued.

Upon the payment of the redemption price of Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.

SECTION 6. REGISTRATION OF BONDS AND REPLACEMENT BONDS. The County shall cause the Bond Register to be kept at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, which is hereby constituted and appointed the Registrar of the County. The County is authorized to prepare, and the Trustee shall keep custody of, multiple Bond blanks executed by the County for use in the transfer and exchange of Bonds.

Subject to the provisions hereof relating to the Bonds in Book Entry Form, upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by, the registered owner or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, the County shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, date and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees (a) in the case of any Capital Appreciation Bond, a new fully registered Capital Appreciation Bond or Bonds of the same series and of the same Stated Maturity of Authorized Denominations, for a like aggregate Original Principal Amount or (b) in the case of any Current Interest Bond or Variable Rate Bond, a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of the same tenor, of the same interest rate and Stated Maturity, of Authorized Denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount. Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance relating to Book Entry Form any Capital Appreciation Bond or Bonds may be exchanged at said office of the Trustee or its proper agent for a like aggregate Original Principal Amount of Capital Appreciation Bond or Bonds of the same maturity of other Authorized Denominations; and any fully registered Current Interest Bond or Bonds or Variable Rate Bond or Bonds may be exchanged at said office of the Trustee or its proper agent for a like aggregate principal amount of such Bonds of the same tenor, of the same interest rate and Stated Maturity, of other Authorized Denominations.

PROPOSED ORDINANCES continued

ITEM #86 cont’d

The execution by the County of any fully registered Bond shall constitute full and due authorization of such Bond, and the Trustee or its proper agent shall thereby be authorized to authenticate, date and deliver such Bond in accordance with the terms of this Ordinance and of any Indenture.

The person in whose name any Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Maturity Amount of any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his or her legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the County or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Bonds exchanged in the case of the issuance of a Bond or Bonds for the outstanding portion of a Bond surrendered for redemption.

If any Bond, whether in temporary or definitive form, is lost (whether by reason of theft or otherwise), destroyed (whether by mutilation, damage, in whole or in part, or otherwise) or improperly cancelled, the Trustee or its proper agent may authenticate a new Bond of like date, maturity date, interest rate (or, in the case of Capital Appreciation Bonds, Yield to Maturity), denomination and Original Principal Amount (in the case of Capital Appreciation Bonds) or principal amount (in the case of other Bonds) and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided that (a) in the case of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and (b) in the case of any lost Bond or Bond destroyed in whole, there shall be first furnished to the Trustee evidence of such loss or destruction, together with indemnification of the County and the Trustee, satisfactory to the Trustee. In the event any lost, destroyed or improperly cancelled Bond shall have matured or is about to mature, or has been called for redemption, instead of issuing a duplicate Bond, the Trustee shall pay the same without surrender thereof if there shall be first furnished to the Trustee evidence of such loss, destruction or cancellation, together with indemnity, satisfactory to it. Upon the issuance of any substitute Bond, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

SECTION 7. SECURITY. The full faith and credit of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of, interest on and Maturity Amount of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be direct and general obligations of the County and the County shall be obligated and hereby covenants and agrees to levy ad valorem taxes upon all the taxable property in the County for the punctual payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, without limitation as to rate or amount. The County hereby pledges, as equal and ratable security for the Bonds, all present and future proceeds of the Pledged Taxes on deposit in the Bond Fund for the sole benefit of the registered owners of the Bonds, subject to the reserved right of the Corporate Authorities to transfer certain interest income or investment profit earned in the Bond Fund to other funds of the County. The pledge is made pursuant to Section 13 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act and shall be valid and binding from the date of issuance of the Bonds. All Pledged Taxes and the moneys held in Bond Fund shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery or further act and the lien of such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the County irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.

SECTION 8. FORMS OF BONDS. The Current Interest Bonds and the Capital Appreciation Bonds shall be in substantially the forms hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that if the text of the Bonds is to be printed in its entirety on the front side of the Bonds, then the second paragraph on the front side and the legend “See Reverse Side for Additional Provisions” shall be omitted and the text of paragraphs set forth for the reverse side shall be inserted immediately after the first paragraph.

SECTION 9. GENERAL OBLIGATIONS; PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST; TAX LEVY; ABATEMENT. For the purpose of providing the funds required to pay the principal of and interest on, or Maturity Amount of, the Bonds promptly as the same become due, there is hereby levied upon all taxable property in the County, a direct annual tax sufficient for those purposes in addition to all other taxes, (i) for each of the years 2004 to 2027, both inclusive, in the amount of $90,000,000, and (ii) for each of the years 2028 to 2033, both inclusive, in the amount of $160,000,000, provided that the amount levied for each year with respect to a particular series of Bonds shall be determined in the Bond Order with respect to such series, and any amount for any tax levy year in excess of the aggregate amount levied for such year in the Bond Orders shall not be extended for collection and shall be abated. For this purpose, interest to accrue on Variable Rate Bonds shall be deemed to be that rate which, in the reasonable estimation of the Chief Financial Officer as he may from time to time determine, will be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on such Variable Rate Bonds when due.

The Pledged Taxes and other moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund shall be applied to pay principal of and interest on, or Maturity Amount of, the Bonds.

Interest or principal coming due at any time when there are insufficient funds on hand from the Pledged Taxes to pay the same shall be paid promptly when due from current funds on hand in advance of the collection of the Pledged Taxes herein levied which funds are hereby appropriated for such purpose as necessary; and when the Pledged Taxes shall have been collected, reimbursement shall be made to said funds in the amount so advanced.

The County covenants and agrees with the purchasers and registered owners of the Bonds that so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, the County will take no action or fail to take any action which in any way would adversely affect the ability of the County to levy and collect the Pledged Taxes. The County and its officers will comply with all present and future applicable laws in order to assure that the Pledged Taxes may be levied, extended and collected as provided herein and deposited into the Bond Fund. With respect to Variable Rate Bonds, in furtherance of the general obligation full faith and credit pledge of the County to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds set forth in Section 7 of this Ordinance, the County will take all actions necessary to levy in addition to the taxes described above, any direct annual tax required in excess of that levied in this Ordinance for collection on a timely basis to make all payments of the principal of and interest on such Variable Rate Bonds.

A copy of this Ordinance, together with a subsequent copy of each Bond Order, duly certified by the County Clerk, shall be filed in the office of the County Clerk, and such filings shall constitute the authority for and it shall be the duty of said County Clerk, in each year as aforesaid, to extend the taxes levied pursuant to this Section and said Bond Order(s) for collection, such taxes to be in addition to and in excess of all other taxes heretofore or hereafter authorized to be levied by the County on its behalf.

All receipts of the Pledged Taxes received by the County Collector shall be deposited daily, as far as practicable, with the Trustee. All other moneys appropriated or used by the County for the payment of the principal or redemption price of, and interest on, or Maturity Amount of, the Bonds shall be paid to the Trustee. The Trustee shall be accountable only for moneys actually so deposited with the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby expressly authorized to establish such accounts within the Bond Fund as shall be necessary to account for the Pledged Taxes levied for each series of Bonds issued hereunder. All Pledged Taxes, and all such moneys, shall be deposited by the Trustee into the Bond Fund.

The County Treasurer and the County Collector are hereby expressly authorized and directed to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to provide for the prompt deposit with the Trustee, in accordance with this Ordinance, of all Pledged Taxes.

The filing with the County Clerk of a certificate of abatement, signed by the President and the Chief Financial Officer, shall constitute due authorization for the County Clerk to effectuate such abatement.

SECTION 10. POWERS AS TO BONDS AND PLEDGE. The County is duly authorized to pledge the Pledged Taxes and other moneys, securities and funds purported to be pledged by this Ordinance in the manner and to the extent provided in this Ordinance. The Pledged Taxes and other moneys, securities and funds so pledged are and will be free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge or encumbrance thereon or with respect thereto prior to, or of equal rank with, the pledge created by this Ordinance. The County shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of the Pledged Taxes and other moneys, securities and funds pledged under this Ordinance and all the rights thereto of the Bondholders under this Ordinance against all claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

and execution thereof by such officers is hereby deemed conclusive evidence of approval thereof with such changes, additions, insertions, omissions or deletions as such officers may determine, with no further official action of or direction by the Corporate Authorities.

The preparation, use and distribution of a preliminary official statement and an official statement relating to each sale and issuance of the Bonds are hereby ratified and approved. The President and Chief Financial Officer are each hereby authorized to execute and deliver an official statement relating to each sale and issuance of the Bonds on behalf of the County. The preliminary official statement and official statement herein authorized shall be in substantially the forms previously used for general obligation financings of the County with appropriate revisions to reflect the terms and provisions of the Bonds and to describe accurately the current condition of the County and the parties to the financing.

In connection with any sale of the Bonds, the President or the Chief Financial Officer is hereby authorized to obtain a Credit Facility with one or more financial institutions. The President or the Chief Financial Officer is hereby authorized to enter into a reimbursement agreement and to execute and issue a promissory note in connection with the provisions of each Credit Facility. Any Credit Facility and any reimbursement agreement shall be in substantially the form of the credit facilities and reimbursement agreements previously entered into by the County in connection with the sale of general obligation bonds or notes, but with such revisions in text as the President or the Chief Financial Officer shall determine are necessary or desirable, the execution thereof by the President or the Chief Financial Officer to evidence the approval by the Corporate Authorities of all such revisions.

The President or Chief Financial Officer is hereby expressly authorized, on behalf of the County, to make such customary covenants and agreements with such Insurer as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance.

The President or the Chief Financial Officer is hereby authorized to execute and deliver from time to time one or more agreements with counterparties selected by the Chief Financial Officer, the purpose of which is to hedge or manage the County’s interest cost with respect to the Bonds (or any portion thereof), or to reduce the County’s exposure to fluctuations in the interest rate or rates payable on the Bonds or to insure, protect or preserve its investments from any loss (including, without limitation, loss caused by fluctuations in interest rates, markets or in securities).

completions and modifications thereof. Amounts payable by the County under any such agreement (being “Swap Payments”) shall constitute operating expenses of the County payable from any moneys, revenues, receipts, income, assets or funds of the County available for such purpose or be payable from the sources pledged to the payment of the Bonds, as the Chief Financial Officer may from time to time determine. Such amounts shall not constitute an indebtedness of the County for which its full faith and credit is pledged. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or restrict the authority of the President or the Chief Financial Officer to enter into similar agreements pursuant to prior or subsequent authorization of the Corporate Authorities.

SECTION 12. CREATION OF FUNDS AND APPROPRIATIONS.

A. There is hereby created the “General Obligation Bonds, Series 2004, Bond Fund” (the “Bond Fund”), which shall be the fund for the payment of principal of and interest on and Maturity Amount of the Bonds. The Bond Fund shall be held and maintained as a separate and segregated account by the Trustee. Accounts within the Bond Fund may be created as necessary for any series of Bonds as specified in a relevant Bond Order or, for Variable Rate Bonds, as provided in a relevant Indenture. Accrued interest, capitalized interest and premium, if any, received upon delivery of the Bonds shall be deposited into the Bond Fund and be applied to pay first interest coming due on the Bonds.

The Pledged Taxes shall either be deposited into the Bond Fund and used solely and only for paying the principal of and interest on or Maturity Amount of the Bonds or be used to reimburse a fund or account from which advances to the Bond Fund may have been made to pay principal of or interest on or Maturity Amount of the Bonds prior to receipt of Pledged Taxes. Interest income or investment profit earned in the Bond Fund shall be retained in the Bond Fund for payment of the principal of and interest on Current Interest Bonds and Variable Rate Bonds and Maturity Amount of Capital Appreciation Bonds on the interest payment date next after such interest or profit is received or, to the extent lawful and as determined by the Chief Financial Officer, transferred to such other funds as may be determined. On or after July 15, 2007, capitalized interest, if any, deposited to and remaining in the Bond Fund for any Variable Rate Bonds shall be transferred to such other funds or accounts as the Chief Financial Officer shall determine.

B. The remaining proceeds of the Bonds shall be set aside in one or more separate funds of the County, hereby created, and designated as the “Public Safety Project Fund,” the “Health Fund Project Fund,” the “Corporate Project Fund,” the “Capital Equipment Project Fund,” and the “Insurance Reserve Fund” (collectively, the “Project Funds”). Any Project Fund may further be divided into accounts and designated the “Series Bonds Project Account” (an “Account”). The Project Funds shall be held and maintained as separate and segregated accounts by the Trustee. Moneys in the Project Funds may be withdrawn or may be transferred among the Project Funds by the County to pay the costs of the Projects upon requisition by the Chief Financial Officer or any other employee of the County designated by the Chief Financial Officer.

Alternatively, the Chief Financial Officer may allocate the proceeds of the Bonds to one or more related project funds or accounts of the County already in existence; provided, however, that this shall not relieve the County and such officer of the duty to account for the proceeds as if any Project Fund or Account were created as herein provided. The County by its Corporate Authorities reserves the right, as it becomes necessary from time to time, to change the purposes of expenditure of any Project Fund or its accounts, to change priorities, to revise cost allocations between expenditures and to substitute projects, in order to meet current needs of the County; subject, however, to the provisions of the Act and to the tax covenants of the County relating to the Tax Exempt status of interest on Tax Exempt Bonds.

C. The sum necessary, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer, of the principal proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited into a separate and segregated fund, hereby created, to be known as the “Expense Fund” (the “Expense Fund”) and shall be used by the County to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds in accordance with normal County disbursement procedures. Any funds remaining to the credit of the Expense Fund on the date which is six months following the date of delivery of the Bonds shall be transferred to the County Treasurer for deposit into such fund or account of the County as the Chief Financial Officer may direct.

ITEM #86 cont’d

D. The moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund may be invested from time to time in Qualified Investments. Any such investments may be sold from time to time by the Trustee without further direction from the County as moneys may be needed for the purposes for which the Bond Fund has been created. The moneys on deposit in each Project Fund shall be invested in any lawful investment for County funds. In addition, the Chief Financial Officer shall direct the Trustee (which direction may be by facsimile transmission by the County to the Trustee and confirmed by facsimile transmission by the Trustee to the County) to sell such investments when necessary to remedy any deficiency in the Bond Fund, any Project Fund or any accounts created therein. All other investment earnings shall be attributed to the account for which the investment was made.

E. All moneys (not including securities) held by the Trustee subject to the provisions of this Section may be deposited by it, on demand or time deposit, in its banking department or with such banks, national banking associations, trust companies, savings banks or savings and loan associations, that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as may be designated by the President or the Chief Financial Officer. No such moneys shall be deposited with any such financial institution in an amount exceeding 50 percent of the amount that an officer of such financial institution shall certify to the Trustee and the Chief Financial Officer as the combined capital and surplus of such financial institution. No such moneys shall be deposited or remain on deposit with any such financial institution in excess of the amount insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, unless (a) such financial institution shall have lodged with the trust department of the Trustee or with a Federal Reserve Bank or branch or, with the written approval of the Trustee and the Chief Financial Officer, pledged to some other financial institution for the benefit of the County and the holders of Bonds, as collateral security for the moneys deposited, Federal Obligations or Agency Obligations having a market value (exclusive of accrued interest) at least equal to 100 percent of the amount of such moneys, and (b) the Trustee shall have a perfected first lien in the Federal Obligations or Agency Obligations serving as collateral, and such Federal Obligations or Agency Obligations shall be free from all third party liens. The Trustee shall allow and credit interest on any such moneys held by it at such rate as it customarily allows upon similar funds of similar size and under similar conditions or as required by law. Interest in respect of moneys or on securities in any fund shall be credited in each case to the fund in which such moneys or securities are held.

F. The County may invest any moneys in a repurchase agreement. Each repurchase agreement shall meet the requirements of the Public Funds Investment Act of the State of Illinois, as amended, or be secured by Federal Obligations or Agency Obligations or obligations described in clause (d) of the definition of Qualified Investments having a market value, marked to market weekly, at least equal to 102 percent of the amount invested in the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, on June 5, 2004, Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, was called from our midst at the age of 93; and

WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois on February 6, 1911, and moved to Dixon, Illinois when he was nine, where he starred in high school football, taught Sunday school, and was a lifeguard. He graduated from Eureka College in 1932; and

WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan learned the importance of compassion for people as a result of growing up during the Depression in the hard-hit Midwest, and he assumed responsibility at an early age in order to support his family; and

WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan pursued a successful career in broadcasting in the Midwest, followed by a career in Hollywood during which he made over fifty movies and served as head of the Screen Actors Guild; and

WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan served his country during difficult times in his two consecutive terms as Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, and then as President of the United States from 1981 to 1989; and

WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan’s optimism, character, and ability to communicate helped to restore the confidence of Americans in their country; and

WHEREAS, President Reagan’s principled opposition to Communism undoubtedly hastened the demise of the repressive and dangerous regime that was the Soviet Union, and helped to eventually end the division of continental Europe, and to bring “peace through strength” by winning the Cold War; and

WHEREAS, when President Reagan took office, the U.S. economy was beset by historically high interest rates, high inflation and a rise in the unemployment rate to double digits. However, by the end of President Reagan’s second term in 1989, 16 million jobs had been created while inflation was reduced; and

WHEREAS, upon learning that he had Alzheimer’s disease in 1993, Ronald Reagan gracefully exited public life just as he had handled his previous bouts of illness and injury, by writing an open letter to the American people in which his optimism for America remained undiminished, when he said, “I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.”

Now, therefore BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners of Cook County does hereby express its sorrow at the passing of President Ronald Reagan, and extends its deepest sympathy to the family of this great man, a man whose optimism, energy, and intelligence restored Americans’ vision of the United States of America as “that shining city on a hill.”

THE LOBBYIST CONSOLIDATION RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, different branches of Cook County government employ non county employee paid outside lobbyists to lobby on county issues before the state legislature; and

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners approves more than $400,000 a year from the budget for contracts to retain separate lobbyists for branches of Cook County government; and

WHEREAS, because the lobbying agenda is not centrally managed, the county’s message is often diluted or inconsistent; and

WHEREAS, sometimes County officials use paid outside lobbyists to promote positions in direct opposition to those of the Cook County Board; and

WHEREAS, Cook County needs to present a unified front on pending state legislation; and

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners has oversight authority over all branches of Cook County government and the responsibility for the prudent budgeting and management of tax dollars; and

WHEREAS, trying to maintain a balanced budget, the Cook County Board of Commissioners should not authorize the payment of large lobbyist contracts; and

WHEREAS, constitutionally Cook County elected officials can deploy trained County staff to monitor pending legislation if they so choose; and

WHEREAS, a plethora of lobbyists make it impossible for the County to speak with one unified voice in Springfield; and

WHEREAS, the Office of the President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners currently employs two lobbyists who should solely represent the interests of Cook County.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

Beginning July 1, 2004, following the end of the Illinois General Assembly spring session, the Cook County Board of Commissioners will no longer approve lobbying contracts submitted by branches of Cook County government. The Office of the President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, with approval from the Board, will retain two lobbyists to represent Cook County on pending state legislative matters. No lawyer or lobbyist hired to represent the County may represent, as private counsel on non-government issues, any County elected official or political committee of any County elected official while they represent the County.
