Board members reviewed a resolution to update tax-collector compensation for the township tax collectors who collect district taxes.
Staff explained many local tax collectors have not received an increase for eight years and the proposed resolution would provide an annual 3% adjustment going forward. The presenter said the total additional cost to the district would be about $12,382, which equates to roughly $400 per year if divided over eight years.
Trustees asked how many tax collectors serve the district; staff responded there are seven collectors covering the district's municipalities. Board members noted the collectors are local residents and that collection duties include costs the collectors pay for themselves, such as postage.
The transcript records discussion and a staff explanation that attorney Brown drafted the resolution so future adjustments would be automatic at 3% annually. The provided transcript does not show a formal recorded vote on this resolution.
