Bill Summary
Amends the Counties Code. Provides that the lease of real estate is permitted when a property, structure, or facility owned by Kane County can be used for athletic purposes in the interest of the public or for the benefit and enjoyment of residents of the county if the property, structure, or facility acquired by Kane County was being used for athletic purposes prior to the county acquiring the property, structure, or facility. For leases entered into under this provision after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the lease must require (i) the lessee to allow any organization that used the land at the time the lease is executed to continue to use the land for the leased purposes during the term of the lease and (ii) the lessor to continue, during the term of the lease, to employ, in the same capacity, any persons who provided services on the land at the time the lease is executed.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Kane County portion of the Illinois Counties Code to specifically allow counties to lease real estate that was previously used for athletic purposes under certain conditions. The bill permits county boards to lease property for up to 99 years when they determine the property is no longer necessary or in the best interest of the county, which requires a three-fourths vote of the full county board. The key addition is that for properties specifically used for athletic purposes prior to county acquisition, any lease must include two important provisions: first, any organization that was using the land at the time of the lease must be allowed to continue using it for the same purposes during the lease term, and second, the county must continue to employ, in the same capacity, any persons who were providing services on the land at the time the lease is executed. This provision seems designed to protect existing athletic organizations and workers from being displaced when a county leases athletic property, ensuring continuity of use and employment.
