Quincy council adopts Budget Commission levy resolution and places delinquent utility bill on property lien
Summary
At its Sept. 3 meeting, the Quincy Village Council unanimously adopted Resolution R-07-2024 to accept tax amounts ($16,000 outside the 10-mill limit; $20,000 inside) and certified the levies to the Logan County Auditor. The council also voted to place a large delinquent utility account as a lien on the related property.
The Village of Quincy Council unanimously adopted Resolution R-07-2024 on Sept. 3, accepting the amounts and rates determined by the Budget Commission and authorizing necessary tax levies to be certified to the Logan County Auditor. The resolution identified $16,000 derived from levies outside the 10-mill limitation and $20,000 inside the 10-mill limitation.
Sandra Ward, the village fiscal officer, presented the resolution. Sheryl Hatfield moved to approve R-07-2024; Morgan Collier seconded. The council voted in favor with all members recorded as voting "Aye." Council members discussed briefly how the levy totals could be affected by the proposed formation of a new fire district and asked for further information on whether Mr. Comstock will be released from an agreement and whether Mr. Bey has been engaged to assist with fire-district formation; no further details were provided at the meeting.
During administrator reports, the council addressed a large delinquent utility account associated with a property now occupied by Lawrence Smith. Mike Weber said the shut-off valve to that property appears obstructed; the deed remains in the name of Duane Robbins and contact attempts at the residence were unsuccessful. Robert Ward moved to place the delinquent utility bill as a lien on the real estate; Sheryl Hatfield seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Solicitor Steve Fansler was instructed to prepare the lien and file it with the Logan County Auditor.
The council also approved routine meeting business: Dawn Smith moved to approve the council’s Aug. 20 minutes for entry into the permanent record (seconded by Robert Ward), and the council voted to approve the list of bills presented for payment (motion by Robert Ward; second by Millard Shaffer). Both motions passed by recorded verbal vote.
The council adjourned and set its next regular meeting for Sept. 17, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. at the Quincy Community Building.
