(70 ILCS 1205/11.2-3) (from Ch. 105, par. 11.2-3) Sec. 11.2-3. This Section shall not apply in any park district which does not operate a working cash fund. All monies received from any tax levied pursuant to this Article shall be set apart in the working cash fund and shall be used only for the purposes and in the manner hereinafter provided. Such fund, and the monies therein, shall not be regarded as current assets available for appropriation nor appropriated by the governing board in the annual appropriation ordinance. The governing board may appropriate monies to the working cash fund up to the maximum amount allowable in the fund, and the working cash fund may receive such appropriations and any other contributions. In order to provide monies with which to meet ordinary and necessary disbursements for salaries and other corporate purposes, such fund and the monies therein may be transferred in whole or in part to the general corporate fund of the park district and so disbursed therefrom in anticipation of the collection of taxes lawfully levied for general corporate purposes or in anticipation of such taxes, as by law now or hereafter enacted or amended, imposed by the General Assembly of the State of Illinois to replace revenue lost by units of local government and school districts as a result of the abolition of ad valorem personal property taxes, pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the State of Illinois. Monies so transferred shall be deemed to be transferred in anticipation of the collection of that part of the taxes so levied or to be received which is in excess of the amount thereof required to pay any warrants and the interest thereon theretofore and thereafter issued in anticipation of the collection thereof and such taxes levied for general corporate purposes when collected shall be applied first, to the payment of any such warrants and the interest thereon, to the amount estimated to be required to satisfy debt service and pension or retirement obligations, as set forth in Section 12 of "An Act in relation to State revenue sharing with local government entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended, and then to the reimbursement of such working cash fund as hereinafter provided. Upon receipt by the park district of any taxes in anticipation of the collection whereof moneys of the working cash fund have been so transferred for disbursement, the fund shall immediately be reimbursed therefrom until the full amount so transferred has been retransferred to the fund. Unless the taxes so received and applied to the reimbursement of the working cash fund prior to the first day of the eighth month following the month in which due and unpaid real property taxes begin to bear interest are sufficient to effect a complete reimbursement of such fund for any moneys transferred therefrom in anticipation of the collection of such taxes, the working cash fund shall be reimbursed for the amount of the deficiency therein from any other revenues accruing to the general fund, and the governing board shall make provisions for the immediate reimbursement of the amount of any such deficiency in its next annual tax levy.
