REASON FOR REQUEST / BACKGROUND Total debt service for the 2019 tax levy year amounts to $1,301,309 and the proposed abatements total $376,309 leaving $925,000 to be levied. The proposed debt service amount is returning the levy amounts to the 2017 levels. The Village Board may recall the County made an error in 2017 by over extending debt service. The correction was made in 2018. The Finance Committee reviewed three different scenarios to determine what a resident owning a $300,000 home would be. The Finance Committee approved a total levy including debt service in the amount of $6,605,276. The estimated amount the owner of a $300,000 home will pay in 2020 is $461.14. Will this action involve an expenditure of funds? No If yes, is this a budgeted item?
