| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Fox Waterway Agency Act is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Section 7.2 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (615 ILCS 90/7.2) (from Ch. 19, par. 1209) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 7.2. The Agency may charge reasonable user fees
for | ||||||
8 | recreational and commercial boating, and has the authority to | ||||||
9 | issue
revenue bonds and to borrow funds from any financial | ||||||
10 | lending institution, but
shall
not have the authority to impose | ||||||
11 | any property tax.
The Agency shall devise a schedule
of user | ||||||
12 | fees. The Agency shall conduct public hearings before
| ||||||
13 | establishing or changing user fees or soliciting the issuance | ||||||
14 | of revenue
bonds or the borrowing of funds. The Agency may | ||||||
15 | issue
stickers as evidence of the payment of user fees.
The | ||||||
16 | Agency may impose a civil penalty on persons who knowingly use | ||||||
17 | the waterway
without paying a required user fee in an amount | ||||||
18 | not exceeding $500
for each
violation. Such civil penalty may | ||||||
19 | be recovered by the Agency in a civil
action. | ||||||
20 | The Agency may also sell its dredging materials from the | ||||||
21 | waterway as reclaimed topsoil. | ||||||
22 | At least 75% of the gross income from fees collected under | ||||||
23 | this Section
shall be used exclusively for projects designed to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | maintain and improve the
waterway.
Such projects may include, | ||||||
2 | but are not limited to, dredging, site acquisition
for silt | ||||||
3 | deposit, water safety, and water quality projects. Any funds
| ||||||
4 | which have not
been expended by the end of a fiscal year may be | ||||||
5 | accumulated in a revolving
fund. | ||||||
