p.m. Present roll call stands. Mrs. Traci Pleckham stated that the tax levy request of $5,367,321 is unchanged from the 2011 tax levy dollar amount. The tax levy revenue and rate projections
are largely a product of the Village’s overall Equalized Assessed Value (EAV). The overall EAV is estimated to decrease this year by approximately 5%. The decrease in the EAV results
in a slightly higher estimated tax rate. The official EAV will not be available until the the spring of 2013. Based on the 2012 levy request, Village residents, on average, will not
see an increase in the Village portion of their property taxes when compared to 2011. However, some residents individually could see modest decreases or increases based on their home’s
adjustment in EAV. There were no public comments. Trustee Fay moved to close the public hearing and return to the regular business meeting. Seconded by Trustee Lamb. Voice Vote. All
in favor, 0 opposed. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m. Michelle Gibas, Village Clerk
