Council declares emergency and adopts Resolution 874 to renew levy for fire and EMS
Summary
Council moved to suspend readings and adopted Resolution 874, a renewal levy in excess of the 10-mil limitation for fire and EMS, citing a certification deadline before August 5; the council carried the motion by roll call.
Council member 1 moved to suspend three readings and declare an emergency so the measure could be certified before the August 5 deadline. The mover explained the urgency: it "needs to be certified prior to August 5 for the fire and EMS services," calling those services "our utmost importance in the village."
The motion to adopt Resolution 874 (to proceed to levy a renewal tax in excess of the 10-mil limitation and declare an emergency) was seconded and passed by roll call. Chair confirmed that the ordinance was resubmitted after a clerical error and needed to be processed promptly to meet county deadlines.
