Township board votes to raise 2024–25 levy by statutory maximum
Summary
The McLeansboro Township Board voted Nov. 12 to increase the 2024–25 property tax levy by the 4.99% statutorily allowed maximum, citing rising material and equipment costs; the levy packet will be submitted in December.
Supervisor Clydus Gray told the board that Illinois rules cap any levy increase at 4.99% of the prior year’s extended levy and recommended adopting the maximum increase because of rising costs for materials and equipment. Becky Cross moved to approve the proposed increase and Bob Brockett seconded; the motion carried.
Gray said the levy filing is due in December and that the township has not received additional levy payments beyond two earlier deposits. "It is his recommendation that, due to the rising costs of materials and equipment, the upcoming levy be increased by the maximum amount," the minutes record. The board did not record individual roll-call votes; the minutes state only that the motion carried.
