Terrace Park council approves resolution to place 5.25‑mill levy increase on November ballot
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 4-02/2025 declaring necessary a 5.25-mill replacement levy with an increase to be submitted to voters in November 2025; LeMay introduced the measure as a third and final reading and the council voted to adopt.
The Village of Terrace Park finance representative announced and the council adopted Resolution 4-02/2025 on June 10, a third-reading measure to submit a 5.25-mill replacement levy (with an increase) to the November 2025 ballot. The levy, if approved by voters, would take effect in 2026.
Finance lead Mr. LeMay described the intent of the resolution as increasing the village’s revenue by 5.25 mills to support municipal services beginning in 2026. LeMay said this was the third and final reading; the council proceeded with a vote on the reading and then moved to adopt the resolution. Council members present responded 'aye' when called during the roll-call confirmation recorded in the transcript.
LeMay added that the village had not increased the levy for nearly 14 years and reported residents’ feedback had been generally positive in conversations he had received. The meeting transcript did not include a detailed budget breakdown of how the increased revenue would be allocated beyond the second-reading presentation of the 2026 tax budget (Resolution 5-1-2025) that was introduced for a second reading.
The resolution was recorded as adopted at the meeting; the transcript documents vocal affirmations of approval but does not include a full line-by-line budget or a named, itemized spending plan within the meeting record. The council indicated the 2026 tax budget will proceed through the required readings and public hearings as the planning process continues.
