Urbana SD 116 board approves estimated 2025 tax levy of $62,604,000
Summary
The Urbana SD 116 board approved a resolution setting the estimated 2025 tax levy at $62,604,000 after a brief public hearing with no speakers. The action moves the levy through the district's legal process; the board voted to adopt the resolution during the meeting's action items.
The Urbana SD 116 Board of Education voted to approve a resolution estimating the amount to be levied in 2025 at $62,604,000, the board chair said during the meeting.
President Pawlowski opened a short public hearing on the levy required by law and reported that no members of the public signed up to speak. After returning to the regular agenda, the board considered a resolution authorizing the estimated levy and moved to adopt it. President Pawlowski described the proposal as a "balloon levy" and read the levy amount into the record: "The total that we're levying, again, this is a balloon levy, $62,604,000 to be levied in the year 2025." The motion passed on a roll call vote.
The vote establishes the district's preliminary tax levy figure as part of the statutory levy process; the resolution itself sets the estimated amount to be published and used in required notices. The board did not receive public comments at the hearing.
Next steps typically include formal publication and any statutorily required notices or hearings before a final levy is certified and sent to the county. The board did not specify amendments to the levy amount during the meeting.
