6. Public Hearings

PUB 2021-9214 - A. Public Hearing: 2021 Aggregate Tax Levy and Abatements for the Village of Downers Grove

Mayor Barmett called the public hearing to order at 7:04 p.m. pursuant to the Illinois Truth in Taxation Law to consider the proposed 2021 tax levy of the Village of Downers Grove. Notice of this hearing was published in the Downers Grove Suburban Life Newspaper on November 25, 2021 and a copy of the notice and the proof of publication have been presented and are made a part of the official record of this hearing.

The Mayor summarized the procedures to be followed for the public hearing.

Village Manager David Fieldman presented the tax levy information. The total tax levy for FY 2022, which is technically the 2021 tax levy, is $16.89 million - an increase of about $1.1 million from the previous tax levy. This is an increase of about 7%. The increase is driven entirely by public safety pensions; contributions to fire and police pension funds are required by Illinois State Law and the Village continues to levy that amount and make the required contributions. For a typical house in the Village the 6.95% increase in the total tax levy translates to an increase of about $51.00 in the Village portion of the tax bill. This increases last year's total amount from $736 to $787.
