For City Council meeting of October 27, 2018 Item SP1
Ordinance 123-O-18: City of Evanston Tax Levy
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Hitesh Desai, Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer
Subject: Ordinance 123-O-18, City of Evanston 2018 Tax Levy
Date: October 22, 2018
Recommended Action:
Staff requests adoption of Tax Levy Ordinance 123-O-18, which levies the annual
property tax for General Fund Operations, Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF),
Police and Fire Pension Funds, and the General Assistance Fund totaling $30,703,260.
The corresponding total for 2017 Levy was $30,101,219. This change results in a net
increase of $602,041 or 2% from last year’s levy.
Funding Source:

Livability Benefits:
Education, Arts, and Community—will provide revenues for municipal operations
Innovation and Process—support local government best practices and processes
Summary:
Each year the City of Evanston must levy a specific dollar amount with Cook County.
These property tax levies are used to pay for general operations of the City, IMRF,
Police and Fire Pension obligations, General Assistance Fund, Library operations and
the Solid Waste Fund. The Library, SSA Levies, and Solid Waste levy have been
provided under separate cover. The County automatically levies the amounts related to
debt service (as budgeted in the Debt Service Fund), which is explained in greater detail
below.
Please note that the levy for general obligation debt service is handled differently than a
municipal levy for general operating or pension contribution expenses. When a
municipality in Cook County issues general obligation debt, the debt amortization
schedule is filed with the County after issuance of the bonds, and the County will
automatically levy an amount on behalf of the municipality to make the necessary debt
payments for both principal and interest. Therefore, the City of Evanston does not levy
an annual amount for debt service since the County already does so. Rather, the City
must approve and file the necessary abatements for any amounts the City does not
Memorandum

desire the County to automatically levy. These tax levy abatements will be presented to
the City Council for action on November 19, 2018.
The table below is a summary of the 2018 Levies (as extended with 2.0% loss ratio
added) as listed in the attached General Fund and Pension Tax Levy Ordinance:
General Corporate Levy (per FY19 proposed budget) $ 9,715,843
IMRF Pension Levy (per FY19 proposed budget) $ 1,534,466
General Assistance Fund Levy (Per FY 19 proposed budget) $ 918,367
Fire Pension Levy (per FY19 proposed budget) $ 8,149,576
Police Pension Levy (per FY19 proposed budget) $ 10,385,008
Total Levy (excluding Debt Service, Solid Waste and Library) $ 30,703,260
The corresponding total for 2017 Levy was $30,101,219 resulting in a net increase of
$602,041 or 2% from last year’s levy. Adding the Debt Service, the Solid Waste Levy
and Library Fund levy, the total proposed net Levy for 2018 is $48,892,625. The 2017
Adopted net Tax Levy was $47,749,025 making the proposed increase 2.4% for all
funds.
