Annexation estimates would raise Whitebead millage by 1.9 mills; Paoli millage would fall to parity
Summary
District presenters showed projected millage equalization that would raise Whitebead millage from 2.33 to an estimated 4.23 (a 1.9-mill increase) and lower Paoli from 5.80 to the same estimated 4.23; staff provided household impact examples.
District staff presented estimated millage changes should Whitebead annex Paoli. The presentation said, "Whitebead's taxpayers would see a 1.9 mils increase from 2.33 in 2024 to an estimated 4.23 in 2025." Paoli's millage was shown declining by 1.57 mills from 5.80 to the same estimated 4.23. The presenter compared both figures to neighboring districts' millages to show the combined district's estimate would remain low relative to several nearby districts.
Officials provided an illustrative table of taxpayer impacts ranging from a $1.27 annual increase on a $50 assessed-value example to $25.46 on a $1,000 example. Members of the public raised concerns during comment about Whitebead property owners bearing increased taxes; presenters noted the calculations used 2024 valuations and outstanding bond issues and presented these as estimates rather than final levies.
