PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Tax Levy
City Administrator Olson gave the tax levy presentation.This is a mandated public hearing.This notice
was in the Beacon News and not in the Kendall County Record.The reason the City is having this public
hearing is because one of these four components under state law is above a 5%increase.
Sandy Lindblom,member of the Yorkville Public Library Board of trustees,covered the history of the
library board,its staffing and financing issues,as well as maintenance projects needed for the building
and grounds. She also stated that due to fmancial considerations,the board has had to cut the library
hours,has issued no pay increases for employees,and has tapped into the Library Boards reserve fund for
its operations. She is here to request that the City approve increasing the levy for the Library Board from
.12 to .15,as upheld by the state supreme court.
Barb Johnson,Vice President of the Library Board and resident,urged the Council not to include the
Library in the tax cap.
Mayor Golinski doesn't think it is a problem to keep the levy at .15.Alderman Colosimo feels that the
City should fund the Library Board as requested,but thinks it should be reviewed on a yearly basis.
Alderman Kot wanted if the City has any numbers as to what it would cost to give raises to the Library
Staff. City Administrator Olson would have to review the Library budget before answering that question.
