AI Summary
- Amends the Act governing community improvement districts (CIDs) in DeKalb County to adjust board composition when a district lies partly or wholly within an incorporated municipality, reducing DeKalb County's appointed members from two to one and granting each municipality within the district one appointed board member
- Each district board has at least seven members: appointed members plus two elected by electors (Posts 1-2) and three elected by equity electors (Posts 3-5), with staggered initial terms of one, two, and three years and all subsequent terms set at three years
- Districts located wholly within a municipality that exceed 130 acres but are less than 140 acres and that form all or part of a municipal tax allocation district must add three additional equity elector board members (Posts 6-8) with staggered initial terms
- Taxes, fees, and assessments may be levied only on nonresidential real property, capped at 5 mills for standard districts; qualifying municipal districts (130-140 acres within a tax allocation district) may instead levy up to the constitutional maximum under Article IX, Section VII, Paragraph III
- DeKalb County collects all district levies in the same manner as county taxes, retaining a collection fee of 1% of proceeds up to a maximum of $25,000 per calendar year before transmitting the remainder to the district board
