Board holds public hearing on 2024 tax levy; adoption listed on agenda
Summary
The Riverside-Brookfield Twp SD 208 board held a public hearing on its proposed 2024 tax levy and listed formal adoption of the levy as an action item; public comment was scheduled as part of the hearing, and the agenda provided opportunity for board discussion and a vote (outcome not specified).
The Riverside-Brookfield Twp SD 208 Board of Education convened a public hearing on Dec. 10, 2024, to receive comment on the district's proposed 2024 tax levy. The hearing was opened as part of the regular meeting at Riverside Brookfield High School.
The agenda indicated board members would offer comments and the public would have an opportunity to speak before the board moved to adjourn the public hearing and consider formal adoption. The meeting notice listed the adoption of the 2024 tax levy as a separate action item later on the agenda. The agenda did not specify the final vote tally or the adoption outcome for the levy at the time of posting; the record of any motion or vote on the levy was not specified in the agenda text provided.
The hearing provided the statutorily required forum for public input on the levy amount and related tax decisions. Members of the public were given at least two opportunities to comment in the meeting structure: during the public hearing segment and during a second visitors' statements period later in the meeting.
Next steps listed on the agenda included adjournment of the public hearing and later consideration of formal adoption of the levy under the old-business/action-items section; the agenda did not include the specific levy amount or a draft levy ordinance in the excerpt provided.
