Stormwater Costs Will Continue to be Funded by Fee
Last updated: Public Relations Specialist |
Stormwater costs will continue to be paid for with monthly Stormwater Utility fees. At their November 15, 2016, meeting, the Village Council directed staff to prepare an estimated tax levy that does not include funding for stormwater improvements from property taxes. This is consistent with the direction provided by the results of the Stormwater Utility Referendum,
which appeared on the November 8, 2016 General Election ballot.
Opportunity for public comments regarding the following results will be available at the November 22, 2016, Council meeting.
