(a) For the sole purpose of obtaining funds for the support, construction, maintenance or financing of a facility of the Authority, the corporate authorities of the City of Collinsville may impose a tax on the retail sale of food and beverages that have been prepared for immediate consumption. The tax shall not exceed the rate of 1% of the selling price of such food and beverages. A tax imposed pursuant to this Section shall be in addition to any other taxes imposed with respect to such food and beverages. (b) The purchaser of such food and beverages shall be liable for the payment of a tax imposed pursuant to this Section. However, the corporate authorities of the City of Collinsville may require that any person engaged in the business of making retail sales that are subject to the tax collect the tax and pay over the proceeds of the tax as prescribed by ordinance of the corporate authorities. (c) If the corporate authorities of the City of Collinsville determine that all persons engaged in the business of making retail sales of such food and beverages within the City of Collinsville will benefit from the support, construction, maintenance or financing of the facility for which the tax is imposed, the corporate authorities shall impose the tax throughout the City. If, however, the corporate authorities determine that only persons engaged in such retail sales within a particular area within the City of Collinsville will benefit from such support, construction, maintenance or financing, the corporate authorities shall by ordinance establish that area as a special purpose district and shall impose the tax only within the district. In such case the corporate authorities of the City of Collinsville shall be the governing body of the district and shall have the authority to impose the tax pursuant to this Section and expend revenues from the tax for the purposes specified in this Section.
