Golf Manor council passes resolutions to seek renewal levies for November ballot
Summary
On April 21 the council adopted two resolutions of necessity — Res. 2026‑6 (current expenses) and Res. 2026‑7 (streets and roads) — authorizing submission to the county auditor to determine levy yields and proceeding toward placement on the November ballot.
The village solicitor presented two resolutions of necessity during the April 21 meeting and explained the statutory process: council submits a resolution of necessity to the county auditor so the auditor can calculate expected revenue at the requested levy rate; council may then pass additional resolutions to place the levies on the ballot. The solicitor said the original May attempt was delayed due to filing ambiguities and the resolutions will move forward for the November election.
Council approved Resolution 2026‑6, the resolution of necessity for a renewal current‑expenses levy, and Resolution 2026‑7, the resolution of necessity for a renewal streets‑and‑roads levy, both on first reading. The solicitor said the next step is to obtain the county auditor's revenue estimates and then return to council with a resolution to proceed if the amounts are acceptable.
Both resolutions passed by voice vote at the meeting; council did not specify exact levy rates or projected revenues in the discussion but relied on the county auditor to provide those figures before further action.
