Agreement on this lease was difficult to reach. Due to the state’s fiscal condition, CMS desired a rate reduction, however, a small increase was agreed to.

Members, LLCC Board of Trustees
FROM:
Charlotte J. Warren President
SUBJECT:
Establishment of 2014 Tax Levy
DATE:
December 17, 2014
As you may recall, we begin the budget process in December by establishing the Tax Levy for the following year. The levy must be completed and filed by the fourth Tuesday in December. Before you this evening, is the resolution to adopt the local Property Tax Levy for 2014. Accounting standards implemented under GASB 35 will cause this levy to be recognized for reporting purposes equally between FY 2015 and FY 2016. The law provides that the levy include the dollar amount requested rather than the tax rate desired. Consequently, the tax levy in conjunction with the district’s equalized assessed valuation (EAV) will determine the tax rate. The Education Fund rate of 27¢ per $100 of EAV and the Operation and Maintenance Fund rate of 7¢ per $100 of EAV will however, remain the same as those extended by County Clerks in the last fiscal year. The proposed levy before you allows for EAV growth of up to 4.5% over CY 13 EAV. The State of Illinois “Truth In Taxation” statute requires taxing bodies to publish a “Public Notice of Proposed Tax Increase” if the “aggregate levy” exceeds the prior year extension by 105%, excluding election and debt costs. The resolution regarding estimated amounts necessary to be levied in 2014, exclusive of debt retirement, includes an “aggregate levy” of 104.70% in excess of the estimated prior year’s extension. LLCC’s 2013 extension, exclusive of debt service was $24,869,409. The levy recommended to you tonight, exclusive of debt service, is $26,037,540, an increase of 4.70% over the previous year’s extension. The total levy for debt service includes $2,560,588 for the retirement of principle and interest for the General Obligation Bond Series 2008A, which represents a 2.54% increase over the previous year’s final extension.
