Village Board Meeting MinutesDecember 15, 2015
Televised departmental budget presentations and discussions were held at Committee of the Whole
meetings in October and November. The Finance Commission also spent three nights in public
meetings reviewing the budget.
Finance Director Dave Erb provided background information including: 1) budgeting process; 2) summary
of the 2016 budget–(a) 2016 Budget -$112,542,802 (10.7% decrease) (b) total operating budget
$68,199,660 (4.4% increase) (c) Capital Improvements -$18,301,281 (46.4% decrease) (d) debt service -
$4,978,187 (2.7% increase) and 3) General Fund –balanced. The proposed budget provides for a 3.28%
increase in the property tax levy and a 5.0% water rate increase.
Mr. Erb responded to questions from the Village Board regarding factors impacting the recommended
budget. The Village Board held a general discussion of the proposed budget as well as expressed
concerns regarding the impact the State’s failure to release funds owed to the Village may have on
Village services. Reserve funds may take the Village through this year but after thatprograms may need
to be deferred.
Mr. Erbprovided a summary of the proposed 2015 tax levy which included staff’s recommendation of a
net Village tax levy of $18,312,756; a 3.28% increase from the 2014 tax levy. Mount Prospect Library
Board approved their tax levy request of $10,850,67; a 3% increase over the 2014 levy.
Mr. Erb stated there are three (3) ordinances related to the 2015tax levy. Two (2) of the ordinances
establish the initial levy of the Village (including the Library) and the Village’s special service area.
The third (3rd) is an abatement ordinance that reduces a portion of the Series 2009C debt service tax
levy established by its bond ordinance.
Ordinances presented for second(2nd) reading:
A. An ordinance authorizing thelevy and collection of taxes for the corporate and municipal purposes of
the Village of MountProspect, Illinois for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2015and ending December
31, 2015.
To illustrate the tax rate, Mr. Erb stated a home with an EAV of $95,386(market value of approximately
$350,000) in 2014 will pay $1,141in taxes to the Village of Mount Prospect and $678to the Library; a $37
increase in the Village levy and a $20increase in the Library levy from the levy extended in 2014. These
amounts will vary based on eligible tax reductions for homeowners or senior exemptions or senior
assessment freezes.To assist residents in understanding how their property taxes are allocated Mr. Erb
stated the Village receives approximately 12.2% of property taxes collected and 62.4% goes to education.
C.An ordinance authorizing thelevy and collection of taxes for the municipal purposes of Special
Service Area Number Five of the Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois for the fiscal yearbeginning

page4of10
Village Board Meeting MinutesDecember 15, 2015
The abatement ordinance reduces a portion of the Series 2009C and Series 2013 debt service tax levies
established by its bond ordinance. The abatement of the 2009C levy is the result of issuing these bonds
as Build America Bonds (BAB).
The BAB’s provide a federal subsidy of 35% of the interest paid on the bonds to the issuer which lowers
the overall cost of borrowing. The BAB subsidy for 2015 is $41,200. Funds to abate the Series 2013 levy
will come from the home rule sales tax dedicated to support flood control projects.
Village Board Comments
