LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> No. 97-33 <br /> November 24, 1997 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> FROM: James L. Williams, Jr., City Manager <br /> John W. Couter, Corporation Counsel <br /> RE: Tax Exemption for Macon County Historical Society <br /> The Macon County Historical Society has applied to the Illinois Department of Revenue for tax <br /> exempt status for its museum complex located on North Fork Road. The Department has informed the <br /> Society that such status requires documentation that all taxing districts have adopted a resolution finding <br /> that the Society is a charitable organization using the property exclusively for charitable purposes. The <br /> Society has furnished the City a letter stating that it does use the property exclusively for charitable <br /> purposes. Accordingly, a resolution has been prepared for Council approval finding the museum <br /> complex to be used as required by the Department. <br /> Staff recommends adoption of the resolution submitted herewith. <br /> JWC:ss <br /> cc: Wendy L.
