For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer
Ashley King, Budget & Finance Manager
Subject: Ordinance 141-O-16: City of Evanston 2016 Tax Levy
Date: October 25, 2016

Staff requests introduction of Tax Levy Ordinance 141-O-16, which levies the annual

Livability Benefits:

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
(Ordinance 144-O-16), Special Service Area (SSA) #4 (Ordinance 142-O-16), and SSA
#6 (Ordinance 143-O-16). The Library and SSA Levies have been provided under
separate cover. The County automatically levies the amounts related to debt service (as
budgeted in the Debt Service), which is explained in greater detail below.
For the 2016 Levy (which will be collected in 2017), the General Fund Levy, the General
Assistance Fund Levy, the Library Fund Levy and the Special Service Area #4 Levy,
and Special Service Area #6 Levy are budgeted on a cash basis. The City has
budgeted on a cash basis to reflect the true cash inflow. Police and Fire Pension Levies
are done in accordance with the recent (1/1/16) actuarial recommendation by Foster
and Foster and approved jointly by the City and the Police and Firefighter Pension
Funds.
Memorandum
3 of 27
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 maturity 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 desire
the County to automatically levy. These tax abatements will be presented to the City
Council for action on December 12, 2016.
The table below is a summary of the 2016 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 FY17 proposed budget) $ 7,889,028
IMRF Pension Levy (per FY17 proposed budget) $ 2,719,691
General Assistance Fund Levy (Per FY 17 proposed budget) $ 918,367
Fire Pension Levy (per FY17 proposed budget) $ 8,029,295
Police Pension Levy (per FY17 proposed budget) $10,114,490
Total Levy (excluding Debt Service and Library) $29,670,871
The corresponding total for 2015 Levy was $28,548,422. This change results in a net
increase of $930,152 or 3.93% from last year’s levy. Adding the Debt Service and
Library Fund levy, the total Proposed Levy for 2016 is $47,538,530 which includes the
loss factor of 2.0%. The 2015 Adopted Tax Levy including the loss factor was
$46,394,913 making the proposed increase 2.46% for all funds.
This 2016 Levy Estimate may change based on budget deliberations.
