Including the separately approved library levy, the combined village and library levy was reported as $13,423,367 (a 3.72% increase). The resolution to determine the estimated levy was moved and approved on roll call; all trustees voted Aye.
Other routine actions: The board moved and approved multiple consent items and concluded the meeting with an adjournment motion that passed on roll call.
