Lincoln Heights council moves March meeting to March 30 to allow tax-appropriations review
Summary
To provide time for publication and resident review of permanent tax appropriations, the Village of Lincoln Heights council unanimously moved its March meeting from March 23 to March 30 and scheduled a public hearing before the Committee of the Whole.
The Village of Lincoln Heights council voted 6-0 March 2 to reschedule its next regular meeting from March 23 to March 30 to allow for required publication and to give residents more time to review permanent tax appropriations.
Mayor Tanya Key told the council the date change was requested so the village could publish required notices in local outlets and post documents on the village website and at Village Hall. The clerk will handle publication and the posting of appropriation documents for public review.
The mayor said a public hearing on the tax appropriations will be held before Committee of the Whole on March 30; the council noted the exact start time would be confirmed and the clerk would update notices accordingly.
Why it matters: The timing affects when residents can review proposed spending and comment formally. Under state and local rules, publication of appropriation notices is a legal step before adoption.
What’s next: The clerk will publish the notice in local outlets and post the appropriation documents online and at Village Hall; residents may submit questions to the village manager’s office or the finance director.
(Provenance: motion to change meeting date, roll-call vote, and clerk’s instructions to publish notice.)
