Establishing Policy with Respect to
Tax Exempt Institutions
WHEREAS, the City of Evanston values its many tax exempt insti-
tutions and is mindful of their significant contribution to the community,
often as a substitute for services which the City might otherwise have to
supply, nevertheless, it is equally obliged to consider that the remain-
ing taxpayers must bear the cost of government which the tax exempt
institutions avoid.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City
of Evanston:
SECTION 1: That it is hereby declared to be the policy
of the City of Evanston: to seek agreement
.from, all tax exempt institutions, that such institutions shall contri-
• bute to the City of Evanston services or sums substantially equivalent
to the cost of municipal services provided by the City to such institu-
tions. The formula for determining such reasonable amounts shall be
based upon the equalized assessed valuation of the institution's prop-
erty benefited. The City of Evanston's tax rate shall be applied
against such valuation for the purpose of determining the value in
moneys or services for the furnishing of municipal services.
SECTION 2: That the City Council is hereby directed
to take all necessary steps to implement
the policy herein established.
