Village manager presents case to consider raising Schiller Park home-rule sales tax
Summary
At the Feb. 5 Committee of the Whole meeting, Village Manager Brett Kryska reviewed the village's home-rule sales tax (unchanged since 2003) and outlined the rationale and potential benefits for considering an increase; no formal action was taken.
Village Manager Brett Kryska told the Committee of the Whole on Feb. 5 that the village is considering a change to its home-rule sales tax rate and explained the rationale for contemplating an increase. He noted that sales tax has remained unchanged since 2003 and that trustees discussed potential benefits of a rate change.
The discussion on Feb. 5 was informational: no ordinance or motion to change the rate was introduced at the Committee meeting. Kryska described the review as a preliminary step, and trustees did not take formal action during the session. Any proposal would require subsequent Board consideration and whatever legal or procedural steps the Board determines appropriate.
