The approximate location of the proposed Special Service Area Number 8 is
located in the commercial corridor of Central Street and Green Bay Road bound by
Isabella to north, Lincoln on south, Eastwood on east and Hartrey on west. The area
comprised of commercial and mixed use properties a is focused primarily on the
inclusion of properties that include ground floor commercial uses.
All interested persons affected by the proposed establishment of the Special
Service Area will be provided with an opportunity to be heard regarding the formation of,
the boundaries of, the special service area and may object to the formation of the area
and the levy of taxes affecting the area. The purpose for establishing the Special
Service Area is to provide a source of funds for business district activities that are
proposed to include within the SSA boundaries, but are not limited to landscaping
activites, installation of holiday decorations, public -way aesthetic improvements,
wayfinding signage, and advertising and marketing of the business district. All the
described services are unique and in addition to services generally provided by the City
of Evanston.
At the hearing, a tax levy for the Special Service will be considered. The
proposed annual tax levy for the Special Service Area is an amount not to exceed an
annual rate of .45% (percent) of the equalized assessed value of the property within the
proposed Special Service Area and the tax will be levied for indefinite period of time
from and after the date of the ordinance establishing the Special Service Area. These
taxes shall be in addition to all other taxes permitted by law and shall be levied pursuant
to the provisions of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/1-1 et seq). The tax levy for

services described above. The City of Evanston, however, may annually levy up to the
maximum rate specified in the ordinance establishing the Special Service Area for the
cost of services described above as said services become necessary and are provided
by the City of Evanston. The hearing may be adjourned by the City Council of the City
of Evanston to another date without further notice other than a motion to be entered
upon the minutes of its meeting fixing the time and place of its adjournment.

proposed Special Service Area that has been signed by at least fifty-one percent (51 %)
of the electors residing within the proposed Special Service Area, and by at least fifty-
one percent (51 %) of the owners of record of the land included within the boundaries of
the proposed Special Service Area, is filed with the City of Evanston City Clerk within
sixty (60) days following the final adjournment of the public hearing regarding the
establishment of the proposed Special Service Area, no such Special Service Area may
be established nor any tax levied or imposed.
Dated this the day of , YEAR.
