Council adopts ordinance amending citation for 1% municipal retailers' and service tax after state request
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 18‑98, amending a prior ordinance (18‑90) to clarify the statutory citation for an already‑approved 1% municipal retailers' occupation tax and 1% municipal service occupation tax after the Illinois Department of Revenue requested a citation clarification.
The council adopted an amendment to prior local tax ordinances to clarify the statutory citation for a 1% municipal retailers' occupation tax and a 1% municipal service occupation tax.
Commissioner Kaminski moved to adopt Ordinance 18‑98, which amends Ordinance 18‑90; staff said the Illinois Department of Revenue requested that the city cite a different statute subsection within the same law, and that the change was only a citation clarification rather than a change in the tax’s substance or rate. A staff member said: “They just wanted us to clarify a different statute within the statute that we had cited.”
Council discussed a typographical concern in section 3 but staff indicated it was not substantive and the clerk recorded a roll call approving the ordinance.
