The city council may adopt guidelines, rules, and procedures governing requests made pursuant to this chapter which may include confirmation in writing from the business proving the amount of the taxes paid by the business before authorizing the payments set forth in section 9-12-2 of this chapter. Such confirmation would include copies of applicable retailers' occupation tax returns to the state of Illinois and real estate tax bills, with appropriate receipts. A business must be, and remain, current with all payments to the city of Charleston as a condition to be eligible for any incentives under this chapter. The incentives awarded pursuant to this chapter are nontransferable and are void with the transfer of ownership of the business. (Ord. 17-O-16, 4-18-2017)
