Maywood holds Truth in Taxation hearing and sends 2022 levy ordinance to December agenda
Summary
At a Dec. 6 Truth in Taxation public hearing, Village of Maywood officials heard an overview of the proposed 2022 real estate tax levy and public comments, then voted 6–1 to place an ordinance to adopt the levy on the December board meeting agenda for final action.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees held a Truth in Taxation public hearing on Dec. 6, 2022, where Director of Finance Lanya Satchell presented an overview of the proposed 2022 real estate tax levy. The hearing included public comment from two residents and concluded with the board voting to place the levy ordinance on the December meeting agenda for final action.
Satchell, identified in the staff attendance list as Director of Finance, summarized the levy proposal for trustees and staff. The transcript records only that Satchell "gave an overview"; no specific levy amount or line-item figures are recorded in the minutes provided.
During the public comment period, two members of the public—D. Givens and S. Gibons—addressed the board; the transcript notes their participation but does not include the substance of their remarks.
Trustee I. Brandon moved to place "an Ordinance of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Maywood, Cook County, Illinois providing for the Levy, Assessment and Collection of Taxes for the Year 2022 Tax Levy" on the December Village Board meeting agenda for final action and approval. Trustee S. Reyes-Plummer seconded the motion. The motion carried with six ayes—Mayor Nathaniel George Booker and Trustees A. Sanchez, S. Reyes-Plummer, M. Jones, M. Lightford and A. Peppers—and one nay cast by Trustee I. Brandon.
Following that vote, Trustee S. Reyes-Plummer moved to close the public hearing; Trustee I. Brandon seconded, and the motion to close was approved unanimously at 9:21 p.m.
The ordinance will be considered for final action at the Village of Maywood's December board meeting. The transcript does not specify the proposed levy total, any rate changes, or how revenues would be allocated; those details should appear in the ordinance or at the December meeting.
