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 - 10 - LRB104 06571 JRC 16607 b

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

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
