Roscoe Village Board approves tax levy, fence contract, liquor permits and snow-season hires
Summary
At its Nov. 19 meeting the Roscoe Village Board approved an estimated 2024 tax levy, contracts and multiple temporary licenses, set snow-season driver pay, and approved operating expenditures.
Roscoe — The Roscoe Village Board on Nov. 19 approved an estimated tax levy of $1,760,026, authorized a $15,000 fence contract for the public works facility, granted two one-day liquor permits tied to the Dec. 14 Hometown Holiday event, waived the temporary-license fee, set snow-season driver wages at $18–$26 per hour and approved $303,933.77 in operating expenditures.
The approvals came during routine business and consent-agenda votes. A resolution estimating the 2024 tax levy (Res. 2024 R47) was passed after a board member noted the village’s total levy amount would increase about 4% while, the member said, the village tax rate on individual properties would fall by about 8% because of assessment growth. The board carried a separate resolution (Res. 2024 R48) to award Crimson Valley Landscape Estate Deck and Fence a contract to install chain-link fencing at the public works facility in the quoted amount of $15,000.
Other actions approved included two temporary one-day liquor licenses: one for an off-premises sale tied to Louis Chap/Glass Tea and one Class T permit for Bridal Ventures doing business as Poison Ivy, both connected to Hometown Holiday events on Dec. 14. The board also voted to waive the $100 fee for the temporary permits.
The board approved hiring seasonal snow‑plow drivers for the 2024–25 season and set an hourly wage range of $18 to $26, “commensurate with experience,” under Resolution 2024 R49.
Minutes from the Nov. 5 meeting were approved, and the board voted to approve operating expenditures of $303,933.77, after which the clerk reported the cash balance (as read into the record) and the board moved on with the consent agenda.
Votes and roll calls were recorded verbally for each motion. For the actions listed above the transcript records affirmative responses from the following board members during roll call: Patty; Malecaux; Sima; Wright; Plock; Babcock. The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally in a single numbered format; the motions were called and the named trustees responded verbally as shown in the meeting record.
Ending: The board completed the consent and action items and moved on to other business, including a separate ordinance annexation request and staff reports on projects and public-safety training.
