Subject:Ordinance 83-O-23: City of Evanston 2023 Tax Levy
Date: November 6, 2023
Recommended Action:
Staff requests discussion of Tax Levy Ordinance 83-O-23, which levies the annual property
tax for General Operations, the Human Services Fund, Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund
(IMRF), Police and Fire Pension Funds, and the Solid Waste Fund totaling $38,644,641 as
extended (including 3% loss factor). This represents an increase of 11.9% over the 2022 levy
of $34,525,671 as extended.
Council Action:
For Discussion
Summary:
Each year, the City of Evanston must levy a specific dollar amount of property taxes 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. Levies for the Library, General Assistance, and Special Service Areas
are provided under separate ordinances. The County automatically levies the amounts
related to debt service, which is explained in greater detail below.
The table below is a summary of the 2023 Levies as extended, including an allowable loss
factor of 3% by Cook County as listed in the attached Tax Levy Ordinance:
D2.Page 13 of 103
Details of all levies and loss factors are shown in the attachment. The City’s budget is based
on the net levy, which is the amount the City expects to collect. The 2023 proposed City net
levy is $37,485,303. This is an increase of $3,995,401 or 11.9% over the 2022 City net levy
of $33,489,902.
Adding the Debt Service, General Assistance, and Library Fund levies, the total proposed net
levy for 2023 is $60,089,737. This represents a 7.9% increase compared to the 2022 total net
levy. With the addition of the loss factor, the 2023 total gross levy is $62,202,619. This is an
increase of $4,512,734 or 7.8% over the 2022 total gross levy of $57,689,885.
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 including an
allowable 5% loss factor 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. Rather, the City must approve and file the necessary abatement
resolutions for any amounts the City does not want the County to automatically levy. These
tax levy abatements are expected to be introduced to the City Council on November 6, 2023.
Questions regarding the Tax Levy may be directed to the City Treasurer at:

Subject:Resolutions 55-R-23 through 70-R-23: Debt Service Property Tax
Abatements
Date: November 6, 2023
Recommended Action:
Staff requests discussion of Resolutions 55-R-23 through 70-R-23 by the City Council,
abating in the amount of $4,973,404 property taxes levied for the year 2023 to pay principal
and interest on general obligation corporate purpose bonds.
Note: Council may approve Resolutions 55-R-23 through 70-R-23 in one motion.
Council Action:
For Discussion
Summary:
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/bond order is filed with the
County after issuance of the bonds, and the County will automatically levy an amount
including an allowable 5% loss factor 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. Generally, abated debt amounts are funded through sources
other than property taxes, such as TIF incremental revenue, water/sewer receipts, and
special assessments.
The total debt service amount on General Obligation Debt for budget year 2024 (2023 tax
year) is $18,314,174. Of this, $4,973,404 is abated by sources other than property taxes,
resulting in a net levy in the amount of $13,340,770. This includes both the City levy of
$12,766,093 and the Library Debt Service Levy of $574,677. The County will extend the debt
service levy, including an allowable loss factor of 5%.
D9.Page 53 of 103
The table below shows the resolution number and corresponding bond number. Some bonds
do not have a resolution number because they do not have any abatements from property
taxes. The table also shows the total 2023 debt service, abated amount, and property tax
supported amount. More details can be found in the attachment.
These resolutions can be introduced in one motion, as stated above, and approved
through a single roll call vote.
