For City Council meeting of October 24, 2015 Item SP1
Ordinance 136-O-15: City of Evanston 2015 Tax Levy
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer
Ashley King, Assistant Director of Administrative Services
Subject: Ordinance 136-O-15: City of Evanston 2015 Tax Levy
Date: Oct 20, 2015
Recommended Action:
Staff requests introduction of Tax Levy Ordinance 136-O-15, 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.
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 139-O-16), Special Service Area (SSA) #4 (Ordinance 137-
O-15), and SSA #6 (Ordinance 138-O-15). 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 and Special Service Area #5
Funds), which is explained in greater detail below.
For the 2015 Levy (which will be collected in 2016), 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 (1/1/15) actuarial recommendation by Foster
and Foster and approved jointly by the City and the Police and Firefighter Pension
Funds.
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
Memorandum
3 of 25
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 14, 2015.
The table below is a summary of the 2015 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 FY16 proposed budget) $8,556,481
IMRF Pension Levy (Per FY16 proposed budget) $2,719,691
General Assistance Fund Levy (Per FY 16 proposed budget) $ 816,327
Fire Pension Levy (per FY16 proposed budget) $7,215,168
Police Pension Levy (per FY16 proposed budget) $9,240,755
Total Levy (excluding Debt Service and Library) $28,548,422
The corresponding total for 2014 Levy was $27,732,096. This change results in a net
increase of $816,327 or 2.09% from last year’s levy. Adding the Debt Service and
Library Fund levy, the total Proposed Levy for 2015 is $46,394,913, which includes the
loss factor of 2.0%. The 2014 Adopted Tax Levy including the loss factor was
$45,557,079 making the proposed increase 1.8% for all funds.
This 2015 Levy Estimate may change based on budget deliberations.
Questions regarding the Tax Levy may be directed to the City Treasurer at:
