The Property Appraiser has determined that the Village's gross taxable value of property has very slightly risen from last year's number of Last year, the 4.7940 millage rate produced $36,091 in property taxes. Because of the slight increase in values, the proposed Final millage rate of 4.7940 Mills is expected to produce $36,209 in property taxes this year. In summary, the Village's computed "Rolled Back" rate is generally defined as the tax rate which, when multiplied by this year's assessed values, would yield last year's property tax revenues. According to the State's electronic TRIM program, the Village's  $7,528,358 to this year's number of $7,552,900.  computed Rolled Back rate is 4.7784 Mills. Rolled Back rate of 4.7784 Mills by .33%.  The proposed Final millage rate of 4.7940 Mills exceeds the computed Village  As was the case with last year's approved budget, the total expected expenditures for this year exceed total forecasted revenue, with the thought that the reserve could be reduced somewhat for the difference. Last year, the approved final budget Total Expenditures were $64,500 and the total revenues were forecasted at $44,789. This year, we are still forecasting $44,789 in revenues, but we are proposing to reduce the Village's Total Expenditures to $59,144. While many of the proposed line item expenditures have been decreased in this year's proposed budget, the increase in property taxes will be used to fund operations expenses that are proposed to increase, such as trash collection services, legally required advertising, office rent, and potential election costs (if required for a merger or to  fill vacancies in office).  The Millage Rate Resolution needs to be adopted prior to the Budget Resolution.  These matters are now ready for approval as Legislative Items.  018862-18001 (3975368)
