Village says property tax rebate checks to be mailed this week; trustees outline budget calendar
Summary
Officials said 1,693 property tax rebate applications were received and $1,130,487.27 will be paid this year; trustees reviewed the budget calendar and said departments will submit worksheets by February with a preliminary budget presented to the board in March and public hearings in April.
Unidentified Speaker 1 told the board that property tax rebate checks had been picked up and "should be going out starting to go out in the mail tomorrow." Staff confirmed the mailings should occur by the end of the week. The board recorded application and payout statistics: total applications received 1,693; total rebate value $1,130,487.27 (about $60,000 higher than last year); denials this year 35, down from 49 last year.
On the budget calendar, Unidentified Speaker 3 outlined the schedule: departmental worksheets will go out next month; departments return requests by February; the preliminary budget is typically presented in March for public review; an April board meeting will include a public hearing and the board's approval process. The speaker noted some internal confusion about whether the first April meeting would be April 7 or April 10 and clarified the usual sequence: present preliminary budgets in early April with the second April board meeting used for approval and public hearing filings with the county clerk.
Trustees also discussed monthly fund totals and clarified that the November snapshot presented did not include the upcoming property tax inflow or monthly garbage fund payments. Board members urged close scrutiny of staff budget requests to distinguish wants from needs in the coming process.
Final business included a motion to adjourn that carried by voice vote.
