| Presenter: |
Mr. Ganson
|
|
|
Description:
All of the Working Cash Bond schedules have been presented.
A final amount needs to be determined and approved to meet the January and February deadlines. The amount of the Working Cash Bond will not increase or substantially decrease the district’s tax rate. I would try to access the higher amount of Working Cash with additional time to make necessary decisions and implement any changes. Recommendation: Approve the Sale of $--------------- in Working Cash Bonds with First Midstate Financial |

IX.B. Approve Preliminary 2017 Levy
|
|
| Presenter: |
Mr. Ganson
|
|
|
Description:
The Tentative 2017 Tax Levy is based on a total estimated EAV of $54,206,022. Last year’s actual total EAV was $51,747,992. This represents an approximate 4.6 increase in Equalized Assessed Valuation for 2017 and is based on information from the Henry County Assessment Office. There is also an overlap of EAV in Bureau County included in the District Total. These values are estimates and may increase or decrease and the value used in the calculations was 4.75 percent. The only individual funds increased were in the IMRF, Social Security, and Tort Funds by 3 percent. The Bond
and Interest levy for 2017 was based on $470,350 which is the amount from the proposed Working Cash Bonds (any amount). The total Tax Levy for 2017 shown is $2,925,666.00, an increase of 2.5 percent over 2016. A Truth in Taxation Hearing is not required since the increase is below 5 percent. I would recommend conducting a Hearing prior to the December Levy as best practice. Recommendation: Approve the Tentative 2017 Annawan CUSD #226 Tax Levy as Presented |

| Presenter: |
Mr. Ganson

The rate increase will likely be in a range from 24 to 27 percent due to certain claims and low out-of-pocket deductibles. This information will be presented and discussed again with the Board on Wednesday night.
Recommendation: Approve the Annawan School District Health Insurance Renewal with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois |
