Hebron mayor and councilmembers urge outreach ahead of proposed police levy
Summary
Officials discussed placing a police levy on the ballot to update the village’s levy to current valuation in order to maintain 24/7 police coverage; council members were asked to gauge resident sentiment and consider town halls to explain the measure.
Village Administrator Jung-Han Chen said council is considering a police levy to bring the existing levy up to current valuation and to support 24/7 police services.
Mayor Valerie Mockus said she asked councilmembers to talk with residents to gauge support and suggested town hall meetings as an open forum for discussion. "I would like to start doing town hall meetings," Mockus said, noting that a less formal format might encourage broader participation.
Councilmember Andrea Chapman said she believes many residents will support a levy, and Annelle Porter emphasized the importance of maintaining a competent police force at all times.
There was no vote recorded; council encouraged outreach and further discussion ahead of any ballot placement.
