by the Commission to conduct the hearing.
23

(b) The Illinois Procurement Code applies to any
24

Section 30.

The Commission may

be less than would be provided by the federal government to a
9
displaced person under the federal Uniform Relocation
10
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970
11
and the regulations promulgated under that Act. As used in

18

Section 35.
Disposition of Property.
19

(a) The Commission may sell, convey, or lease, all at fair
20
market value, any title or interest in real property owned by
21
it to any person or persons to be used, subject to the
22
restrictions of this Act, for the purposes stated in this Act,
23
for the purpose of serving persons using the facilities
24
offered within the District, or for carrying out of any aspect

HB3342
- 10 -
LRB104 06571 JRC 16607 b
1
of the Commission's purposes under Section 10, subject to the
2
restrictions on the use of the real property as the Commission
3
determines will carry out the purpose of this Act. To ensure
4
that real property sold, conveyed, or leased under this
5
subsection is used in accordance with this Act, the Commission
6
shall inquire into and satisfy itself concerning the financial
7
ability of the purchaser, conveyee, or lessee to complete the
8
project for which the real property is sold, conveyed, or
9
leased in accordance with a written plan to be submitted by the
10
purchaser, conveyee, or lessee to the Commission. Under the
11
plan, the purchaser, conveyee, or lessee shall promise (i) to
12
use the land for the purposes designated in the presented
13
plan, (ii) to commence and complete the construction of the
14
buildings or other structures to be included in the project
15
within the periods of time that the Commission determines, and
16
(iii) to comply with any other conditions that the Commission
17
determines are necessary to carry out the project.
18

All sales, conveyances, and leases authorized in this
19
subsection shall be made on the condition that, if used other
20
than for the purposes prescribed in this Act, or unused for a
21
period of at least one year, title to the property reverts to
22
the Commission. All sales, conveyances, and leases made by the
23
Commission to any person for use by residents or any other
24
person shall be on the condition that if the resident or other
25
person violates any of the restrictions as to the use of the
26
property as the Commission has determined will carry out the

HB3342
- 11 -
LRB104 06571 JRC 16607 b
1
purposes of this Act, then title to the property reverts to the
2
Commission. If, however, the Commission finds that financing
3
necessary for the acquisition or lease of any real estate or
4
for the construction of any building or improvement to be used
5
for purposes prescribed in this Act cannot be obtained if
6
title to the land, building, or improvement is subject to such
7
a reverter provision, the finding shall be made by the
8
Commission after a public hearing is held. Upon the finding
9
being made, the Commission may cause the real property to be
10
conveyed free of a reverter provision if at least 7
11
commissioners vote in favor of the sale, conveyance, or lease
12
without the reverter provision. The Commission may also
13
include, in the sales agreement, conveyance, lease agreement,
14
or other documentation, provisions for notice of the
15
violations or default and how to cure violations or default
16
for the benefit of any lender or mortgagee as the Commission
17
may determine is appropriate.
18

If, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Commission
19
resolves that a parcel of real estate conveyed or leased by it,
20
or in which it has sold the fee simple title or any lesser
21
estate, is not being used for the purposes prescribed in this
22
Act or has been unused for a period of at least one year, the
23
Commission may file a lawsuit in the Cook County Circuit Court
24
to enforce the terms of the sale, conveyance, or lease. If a
25
reverter of title to any property is ordered by the court under
26
the terms of this Act, the interest of the Commission shall be

HB3342
- 12 -
LRB104 06571 JRC 16607 b
1
subject to any then existing, valid mortgage or trust deed in
2
the nature of a mortgage, but if the title is acquired through
3
foreclosure of that mortgage or trust deed or by deed in lieu
4
of foreclosure of that mortgage or trust deed, then the title
5
to the property shall not revert, but shall be subject to the
6
restrictions as to use, but not any penalty for nonuse,
7
contained in this Act with respect to any mortgagee in
8
possession or its successor or assigns.
9

(b) If, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Commission
10
resolves that a parcel of real estate that is owned by the
11
Commission is no longer needed for District purposes, the
12
Commission may authorize the sale or public auction of the
13
parcel. The resolution shall direct the sale to be conducted
14
by (i) the staff of the Commission, (ii) listing with local
15
licensed real estate agencies, in which case the terms of the
16
agent's compensation shall be included in the resolution,
17
(iii) or public auction. The resolution shall be published at
18
the first opportunity following its passage in a newspaper
19
published in the District or, if none, then in a newspaper
20
published in the county where the District is located. The
21
resolution shall also contain pertinent information concerning
22
the size, use, and zoning of the parcel and the terms of sale.
23

(c) The Commission may not sell, convey, or lease any
24
property pursuant to this Section before a comprehensive
25
master plan has been approved under Section 60.

Before holding a public hearing
2
required under Section 35 or a meeting regarding the passage
3
of a resolution to file a lawsuit, the Commission shall give
4
notice to the grantee or lessee, or his or her legal
5
representatives, successors, or assigns, of the time and place
6
of the proceeding. The notice shall be accompanied by a
7
statement signed by the secretary of the Commission, or by any
8
person authorized by the Commission to sign the statement,
9
setting forth any act or things done or omitted to be done in
10
violation, or claimed to be in violation, of any restriction
11
on the use of the property, whether the restriction is
12
prescribed in any of the terms of this Act or by any
13
restriction on the use of the property determined by the
14
Commission under the terms of this Act. The notice of the time
15
and place fixed for the proceeding shall also be given to any
16
person as the Commission deems necessary. The notice may be
17
given by registered mail, addressed to the grantee, lessee, or
18
legal representatives, successors, or assigns, at the last
19

20
representatives, successors, or assigns.

19
effect, however, until it has been approved by the Commission.
20
The Commission shall take the actions permitted to be taken by

4
medicine and the licensed nonprofit acute care hospitals
5
within the District.

6

Section 65.
Public hearings.
The Commission shall conduct
7
a public hearing before taking any of the actions described in
8
Section 25, making specified reverter-related findings under
9
Section 35, or approving a comprehensive master plan under
10
Section 60. The Commission shall also conduct a public hearing
11
whenever it is otherwise required by law to do so and may
12
conduct a public hearing whenever it may elect to do so. If
13
there is no law governing a specific type of public hearing,
14
the Commission shall conduct that public hearing pursuant to
15
the Open Meetings Act and this Section.
16

The Commission may authorize a commissioner or other
