Public Hearings 190411 A Public Hearing In Regard to a Proposed Property Tax Increase for the Village of Lombard A Public Hearing to approve a proposed property tax increase of $577,803 or 6.10% for the Village of Lombard for 2019. The notice of the Proposed Property Tax Increase was published in The Lombardian Newspaper on Thursday, October 3, 2019. Village Attorney Tom Bayer stated the following: This is a public hearing in regard to the Village’s proposed tax levy increase for 2019 taxes. Notice of this public hearing, in the form as required by the State Statutes, was published in the Lombardian newspaper on October 3, 2019, and has been posted on the Village’s website since October 3, 2019, as required by the State Statutes. At this time, I will turn things over to Tim Sexton, the Village’s Finance Director, who will make a presentation relative to the amount of the proposed tax levy increase and the reasons for the proposed tax levy increase. I will then open up the public hearing to questions and comments from the Village of Lombard Page 1 Village Board of Trustees Minutes October 17, 2019 public. Director of Finance Tim Sexton provided the following overview: proposed Village of Lombard 2019 property tax levy increase is $577,803 or 6.10%; the CPI is $180,017 (1.90%); the Fire Pension (exempt is $226,121, (2.39%); for a total for existing properties of $406,138 (4.29%); non-growth construction is $171,665 (1.81%); 2019 statutorily permissible levy is $10,052,376 (6.10%); the 2018 levy extended if -$9,474,573; total 2019 permissible increase if $577,803; the Consumer Price Index that is allowed for the 2019 levy is 1.9%; the exempt portion of the required Fire Pension Levy, increased $226,121, based on calculation from new actuary firm that the Village contracted with in 2018; Village is allowed to capture new growth (new construction and annexations). It is estimated that new growth will account for 1.81% of the increase in the levy. If there is no new growth, there will be levy for this. Property taxes represent 17.9% of the projected General Fund revenues. The remaining General Fund revenues come from other sources, with sales tax representing the largest portion at 28.6%. In the State of Illinois, non-home rule units of government located in counties subject to the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) are limited in the size of their annual property tax extension to 5% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is less; CPI was measured from December 2017 to December 2018; the U.S. City Average CPI increase from December 2017 to December 2018 was 1.9% CPI; reviewed the non-capped portion of the Fire Pension Levy, PA 93-0639 and House Bill 599; a taxing district can receive additional taxes in proportion to the value of property annexed, new property construction, and the TIF increment the year that the TIF expires. If property is disconnected from the district, the extension is reduced proportionally; zero impact on existing properties. What does this mean for residential property owners: The average increase for a $300,000 home will be approximately $14.21. This varies for each property depending on the value assigned by the assessor's office. A home valued at $300,000 will pay approximately $562 in property taxes that will go to the Village of Lombard. These taxes pay for core services that include public safety provided by Police and Fire Departments, building and code enforcement from Community Development, responsible administrative oversight, and roads, forestry and infrastructure maintenance from Public Works. Why is the increase needed: Costs continue to increase faster than revenues due to a challenging retail sales environment, decreases in State funding, and State mandates beyond the Village's control; in 2015, the Village was on the path to having a budget deficit of more than $3 million by 2019; due to the Village's ongoing focus on fiscal responsibility, the Village's 2019 budget was balanced; moving forward, Village of Lombard Page 2 Village Board of Trustees Minutes October 17, 2019 the Village will continue to face budget challenges head on and will remain focused on providing residents with a balanced budget while maintaining excellent core services. What is the Village doing to reduce spending: since 2017, the Village has made cumulative budget reduction of over $3.8 million; the Village eliminated nine fulltime and twelve part-time positions which represented $1.2 million in reduced personnel costs and eliminated or reduced funding of various enhanced services and programs. Director of Finance Tim Sexton reviewed the 2018 property tax allocation chart, and then the communications plan as follows: the truth in taxation notice details regarding the public hearing was published in the Lombardian on Thursday, October 3, 2019; the final Board approved levy will be communicated to residents in the PRIDE, on the Village website, social media and news releases; additional information regarding the proposed increase can be found on the Village's website by searching the word, Property Tax and included the Village Board 2019 Tax Levy Hearing Notice; the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and the 2019 proposed permissible tax levy memo to the Finance & Administration Committee. Scheduled/Next Steps include: October 17, 2019 - Public Hearing and first reading on proposed 2019 Tax levy; November 7, 2019 - Public Hearing and first reading on proposed 2020 budget and second reading on proposed tax levy; November 21, 2019 - second reading on proposed budget; December 2019 - Village of Lombard files the Board approved 2019 Tax Levy and 2020 Budget ordinances with DuPage County; DuPage County mails tax bills on or about April 30th of each year. He noted the challenging retail environment and internet sales; Village Board has made very tough decisions to meet the challenges head on; reduced 21 positions in over 4 years; eliminated the taxi subsidy program, overnight staffing of the Police Department front desk; curbside brush collection, and Meals on Wheels. Trustee Reid Foltyniewicz spoke of the Finance & Administration Committee beginning last October to review and address the FY 2020 budget. He spoke of the members moving cautiously, looking at all aspects, not rushing into decisions and looking ahead to the future. Director of Finance Tim Sexton noted the proposed FY 2020 budget will be on the November 7th Village Board meeting on first reading; and stated the Finance & Administration Committee is already reviewing the FY 2021 budget, fourteen months ahead of schedule. He then reviewed a pie chart that depicted percentages of a tax bill for each of the taxing bodies with the majority (77.09%) going to schools; and percentages to the county, the library, the Park District, and the Township with less than $.08 going to the Village. He noted that residents can go on the Village website, search property taxes and follow a link to the County website where residents can look up their tax bill to see what percentages go to Village of Lombard Page 3 Village Board of Trustees Minutes October 17, 2019 what taxing bodies. He noted the Village published the Public Hearing on October 3rd and posted information on various social media sites including the Village website and information will be included in the Pride newsletter. He spoke of the Village having forty-two buildings, 160 miles of center line roads, 250 employees, 160 rolling stock vehicles and thirty pieces of other equipment Trustee Dan Militello inquired about the changes in the pension. Director of Finance Tim Sexton noted in 2004 legislation changed spousal benefits, and there were changes in an actuary and the methodology which resulted in the increase. Village Manager Scott Niehaus stated this is a one-time increase and increases in the future should be fairly minimal. Trustee Anthony Puccio inquired about the amount per household. Response $2.30. Trustee Reid Foltyniewicz thanked the members of the Finance & Administration Committee for their hard work and dedication and their suggestions to address any shortfalls far in advance. He spoke of communicating with the residents; not wanting to cut jobs; reviewing positions once someone retires; understands frustration of residents with increasing taxes; noted recommendations also include ways to increase revenue and cut expenses; start the budget process a year plus ahead of the budget year; invited residents to attend a F&A meeting with any suggestions; reminded residents that they need to hold every other taxing body also accountable for any increases in taxes, and not just the Village. Trustee Andrew Honig inquired about home values and how does the tax increase impact apartments. Director of Finance Tim Sexton noted the tax applies to all properties in the Village, but that apartments are valued differently; the landlord is paying the taxes and building the taxes into the amount charged for rent. Village Attorney Tom Bayer asked if anyone in the audience had any questions. Carol Sampson spoke about being retired, on a fixed income and cannot afford continued tax increases. Asked how much the increase would be for a home noting that her tax bill was $6,500. Response about $12.00. Village Manager Niehaus noted about $450 of the tax bill goes to the Village to cover the cost of police, fire and public works services. Chris Tinnon reminded residents of the kind of town we live in - one with good streets, sidewalks, street lights; great police and fire services. He felt the few hundred dollars was well worth it for the services provided, and noted the amount paid to the school districts compared to how much the Village receives. He felt Lombard was a good town and the increase was not that much. Walter Pojman spoke relative to the tax increase, but did not realize the increase was only $12.00; spoke about less and less retail and buying things on line; suggested less spending; does not want to cut police or Village of Lombard Page 4 Village Board of Trustees Minutes October 17, 2019 fire; felt apartments and condos helped offset increase in taxes; stated he was opposed to a tax increase stemming from the library tax increase three years ago and no new library; no services are free. Village Manager Scott Niehaus noted some of the new apartments and condos have not come on line as yet, but that some are already occupied. It was moved by Trustee Reid Foltyniewicz, seconded by Trustee Bill Ware that the Public Hearing held on October 17, 2019 in the Board Room relative to a proposed Property Tax Increase for the Village of Lombard be adjourned at 7:27 p.m. Motion Carried IV.
