291	291	5 the redevelopment plan or project will not result in
292	292	6 displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited units, and
293	293	7 the municipality so certifies in the plan. If no person
294	294	8 satisfying these requirements is available or if no qualified
295	295	9 person will serve as the public member, then the joint review
296	296	10 board is relieved of this paragraph's selection requirements
297	297	11 for the public member.
298	298	12 Within 90 days of the effective date of this amendatory
299	299	13 Act of the 91st General Assembly, each municipality that
300	300	14 designated a redevelopment project area for which it was not
301	301	15 required to convene a joint review board under this Section
302	302	16 shall convene a joint review board to perform the duties
303	303	17 specified under paragraph (e) of this Section.
304	304	18 All board members shall be appointed and the first board
305	305	19 meeting shall be held at least 14 days but not more than 28
306	306	20 days after the mailing of notice by the municipality to the
307	307	21 taxing districts as required by Section 11-74.4-6(c).
308	308	22 Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a municipality that
309	309	23 adopted either a public hearing resolution or a feasibility
310	310	24 resolution between July 1, 1999 and July 1, 2000 that called
311	311	25 for the meeting of the joint review board within 14 days of

324	324	2 public hearing provisions of the Act. Such notice shall also
325	325	3 advise the taxing bodies represented on the joint review board
326	326	4 of the time and place of the first meeting of the board.
327	327	5 Additional meetings of the board shall be held upon the call of
328	328	6 any member. The municipality seeking designation of the
329	329	7 redevelopment project area shall provide administrative
330	330	8 support to the board.
331	331	9 The board shall review (i) the public record, planning
332	332	10 documents and proposed ordinances approving the redevelopment
333	333	11 plan and project and (ii) proposed amendments to the
334	334	12 redevelopment plan or additions of parcels of property to the
335	335	13 redevelopment project area to be adopted by the municipality.
336	336	14 As part of its deliberations, the board may hold additional
337	337	15 hearings on the proposal. A board's recommendation shall be an
338	338	16 advisory, non-binding recommendation. The recommendation shall
339	339	17 be adopted by a majority of those members present and voting.
340	340	18 The recommendations shall be submitted to the municipality
341	341	19 within 30 days after convening of the board. Failure of the
342	342	20 board to submit its report on a timely basis shall not be cause
343	343	21 to delay the public hearing or any other step in the process of
344	344	22 designating or amending the redevelopment project area but
345	345	23 shall be deemed to constitute approval by the joint review
346	346	24 board of the matters before it.
347	347	25 The board shall base its recommendation to approve or

362	362	4 project area and redevelopment plan satisfying the plan
363	363	5 requirements, the eligibility criteria defined in Section
364	364	6 11-74.4-3, and the objectives of this Act.
365	365	7 The board shall issue a written report describing why the
366	366	8 redevelopment plan and project area or the amendment thereof
367	367	9 meets or fails to meet one or more of the objectives of this
368	368	10 Act and both the plan requirements and the eligibility
369	369	11 criteria defined in Section 11-74.4-3. In the event the Board
370	370	12 does not file a report it shall be presumed that these taxing
371	371	13 bodies find the redevelopment project area and redevelopment
372	372	14 plan satisfy the objectives of this Act and the plan
373	373	15 requirements and eligibility criteria.
374	374	16 If the board recommends rejection of the matters before
375	375	17 it, the municipality will have 30 days within which to
376	376	18 resubmit the plan or amendment. During this period, the
377	377	19 municipality will meet and confer with the board and attempt
378	378	20 to resolve those issues set forth in the board's written
379	379	21 report that led to the rejection of the plan or amendment.
380	380	22 Notwithstanding the resubmission set forth above, the
381	381	23 municipality may commence the scheduled public hearing and
382	382	24 either adjourn the public hearing or continue the public
383	383	25 hearing until a date certain. Prior to continuing any public

398	398	4 in the joint review board report shall be the subject of a
399	399	5 public hearing before the hearing is adjourned if the changes
400	400	6 would (1) substantially affect the general land uses proposed
401	401	7 in the redevelopment plan, (2) substantially change the nature
402	402	8 of or extend the life of the redevelopment project, or (3)
403	403	9 increase the number of inhabited residential units to be
404	404	10 displaced from the redevelopment project area, as measured
405	405	11 from the time of creation of the redevelopment project area,
406	406	12 to a total of more than 10. Changes to the redevelopment plan
407	407	13 necessary to satisfy the issues set forth in the joint review
408	408	14 board report shall not require any further notice or convening
409	409	15 of a joint review board meeting, except that any changes to the
410	410	16 redevelopment plan that would add additional parcels of
411	411	17 property to the proposed redevelopment project area shall be
412	412	18 subject to the notice, public hearing, and joint review board
413	413	19 meeting requirements established for such changes by
414	414	20 subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-5.
415	415	21 In the event that the municipality and the board are
416	416	22 unable to resolve these differences, or in the event that the
417	417	23 resubmitted plan or amendment is rejected by the board, the
418	418	24 municipality may proceed with the plan or amendment, but only

435	435	5 area, the plan may be amended and additional properties may be
436	436	6 added to the redevelopment project area only as herein

443	443	13 by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from the date
444	444	14 the plan was adopted, (5) add additional redevelopment project
445	445	15 costs to the itemized list of redevelopment project costs set

479	479	13 set forth in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act, provided that the
480	480	14 municipality shall give notice of any such changes by mail to
481	481	15 each affected taxing district and registrant on the interested
482	482	16 parties registry, provided for under Section 11-74.4-4.2, and
