The agency's membership shall include at least one member of the village's governing body and at least three at large members from a cross section of the community.
The agency shall review any PILOT agreement after the third year and every third year thereafter, and adjust the PILOT agreement accordingly based on changes to the assessed value and tax rate of all other. real properties.
A PILOT agreement for a project shall not be renewed or renegotiated until a full forensic audit has been completed of the accounts of the party obligated to make payments in lieu of taxes.
