Burbank SD 111 board adopts tentative 2025 tax levy, authorizes participation in property-tax proceedings
Summary
The board adopted a tentative 2025 tax levy and approved a resolution authorizing participation in property tax proceedings, following a presentation from the district’s finance chief; the actions passed as part of the consent agenda by unanimous roll call.
Assistant Superintendent for Business & Finance Dr. Ana Ochoa reviewed the district's tentative 2025 tax levy and the legal threshold that would require a public hearing if the levy exceeds 105% of the prior year's extension. She summarized related legislative updates and recommended the board adopt a resolution authorizing participation in property tax proceedings as advised by the district attorney.
The recommendation to adopt the tentative levy and to authorize participation in property tax proceedings was approved as part of the consent agenda on a roll-call vote with President Marissa Swistowicz, Vice President Thomas Jansen, Secretary Agnieszka Dabrowski, and members Jessica Thomas, Gregory Komperda, John Schuetz and Jeniz Greene voting aye. The consent agenda item listing the levy and the participation resolution appears in the approved recommendations portion of the meeting minutes.
Why it matters: Adopting a tentative levy sets the district’s preliminary request for property-tax revenue for 2025; it also starts required public-notice steps and any subsequent hearings if thresholds are exceeded. Dr. Ochoa told the board a public hearing is required only if the levy exceeds 105% of the prior year's extension.
