Village board approves Brookfield Public Library’s 0.02% levy request
Summary
The board unanimously approved a resolution allowing the Brookfield Public Library to request an additional 0.02% levy for building/property/maintenance purposes; staff noted the library is a separate taxing body whose levy is processed through the village.
The Village of Brookfield Board on July 14 approved a resolution authorizing the Brookfield Public Library’s request for an additional 0.02% levy for building, property and maintenance projects. The library board voted to adopt the request and state statute allows the library to seek this supplemental levy; the village’s role is to include it as part of the annual levy process.
Trustee Hendricks moved the resolution and Trustee Whitehead seconded; the roll call recorded trustees voting in favor and the motion passed. Staff explained that the levy is an annual request and that residents may challenge it via petitions to place it on a ballot under the ordinance’s challenge process.
The board did not debate the underlying library budget at length during the meeting and no additional details about projected levy revenue were provided at the time.
