Dolton board approves budget measure without raising property taxes
Summary
The Dolton Village Board approved a budget adjustment while specifying there will be no property tax increase linked to that line item; the roll call showed unanimous support from trustees present.
The Dolton Village Board voted to approve a budget item while specifying there would be no increase in property taxes tied to that line of the budget, the presiding officer said. "You will see no increase on property taxes in the coming years as a result of this vote," the presiding officer told the board.
Clerk Keane then called the roll. Trustee Tammy Brown, Trustee Stan Brown, Trustee Belcher, Trustee Steve, Trustee Norwood and Trustee Holmes each responded "Aye," and the presiding officer announced, "Motion passed." The presiding officer had earlier said other budget adjustments were made to compensate for inflation but that the board insisted on avoiding a property tax increase as a trade-off.
The board did not detail in the recorded segments which budget lines were reduced to offset inflationary pressures or whether the adopted budget preserves service levels; those specifics were not included in the transcript excerpts provided. No further public comment or recorded dissent appears in the transcript for this item.
The board moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
