| Subject: |
5.a.1) Approval of Requisitions

| Subject: |
5.a.2) Approval of 2021 Millage Resolution
|
|
| Presenter: |
Ms. Morgan
|
|
|
Description:
Attached is form L-4029 2021 Tax Rate Request, which calculates our millage rates for the 2021-2022 school year. We are authorized to levy 18.0 mills on Non-homestead and Non-qualified agricultural property to help support General Fund operations. This is the sixth year of our debt service millage related to the 2016 Bond Issue. In order to make our 2021-22 debt service payments of 1,966,200 the district will levy 2.51 mills upon ALL property in the school district. Both of these millages will be levied ½ in July and ½ in December. It should be noted that the debt service millage rate has decreased by .3 mills for 2021-22. Furthermore, the 2.51 mills levied is well below the 3.59 mills originally estimated when promoting the bond issue in 2016. In March 2020, the voters approved 3.0 additional mills which will be used in increments to increase our millage rate to the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills. By passing the additional 3 mills our millage rate has been brought up to 20.4694. By passing the additional millage rate it allows for a cushion of 2.4694. The current roll back factor is .9907. At this time I am recommending that the Board of Education adopt the Tax Levy Resolution for the 2021-22 fiscal year. |
