(A) Use of ETSB funds. Under the La Salle County JETSB Intergovernmental Agreement, the city, in its own discretion, may use or expend any of its ETSB funds, including any surcharge funds, to pay for budgeted items or obligations that exist in its Fiscal Year 2016 and Fiscal Year 2017 ETSB budgets in accordance with the applicable laws, including the Emergency Telephone System Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 750, §§ 1 et seq.), the Wireless Emergency Telephone Safety Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 751, §§ 1 et seq.) and the Prepaid Wireless 9-1-1 Surcharge Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 753, §§ 1 et seq.), or may contribute its ETSB funds to the La Salle County JETSB and receive a credit equal to the amount of its contributed ETSB funds towards any financial obligations that the city owes in regard to membership in the La Salle County JETSB, with the balance of the ETSB funds being paid by the La Salle County JETSB to the city's PSAP.
(B) Surcharge funds. Upon dissolution of the city's ETSB and subject to the terms of the La Salle County JETSB Intergovernmental Agreement and the city's continued participation in the La Salle County JETSB, all monies received or collected by the city that are intended to be used for ETSB purposes or La Salle County JETSB purposes from any surcharge or revenue source authorized by any federal or State law, including § 15.3 of the Emergency Telephone System Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 750, § 15.3), the Wireless Emergency Telephone Safety Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 751, §§ 1 et seq.) and the Prepaid Wireless 9-1-1 Surcharge Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 753, §§ 1 et seq.), shall be transferred to the La Salle County JETSB for deposit and expenditure by the La Salle County JETSB in accordance with the terms of the La Salle County JETSB Intergovernmental Agreement, the Emergency Telephone System Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 750, §§ 1 et seq.) and any other applicable laws.
(C) Surcharge rate. The city is authorized to receive surcharge funds pursuant to § 15.3 of the Emergency Telephone System Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 750, § 15.3), the Wireless Emergency Telephone Safety Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 751, §§ 1 et seq.) and the Prepaid Wireless 9-1-1 Surcharge Act (ILCS Ch. 50, Act 753, §§ 1 et seq.) at rates and in amounts established by and regulated by these applicable State laws. Under Ordinance No. 1222 (adopted August 21, 1999), the City proposed the enactment of a 9-1-1 surcharge rate of $0.65, which was later approved a majority of voters at a referendum conducted on November 7, 1989 ("Established 9-1-1 Surcharge Rate"). The city is authorized to continue to receive surcharge funds at the established surcharge rate or any other rate established by and regulated by applicable State laws. The dissolution of the city's local ETSB shall have no impact on the city's authority and right to continue to receive its allocation of surcharge funds under these applicable State laws in accordance with the terms of the La Salle County JETSB Intergovernmental Agreement.
