MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert Malm, Interim City Manager
FROM: James Bolerjack, Finance Director
RE: 1984 Tax Levy Ordinance
To begin the process of preparing and adopting the 1984 Tax Levy Ordinance, the
City Council must establish tax amounts necessary to finance 1985 operations. In
addition, the "Truth in Taxation Act" requirements must be met, which includes: I)
publication in the newspaper and public hearing if current tax levy is over 105% of the
previous year, or 2) passage of a resolution that the current tax levy will not exceed
105% of the previous year. Truth and taxation requirements exclude tax levies for
general obligation debt.
An overview is provided this year to make it easier for the City Council to look at
the tax levies. First, information is provided in Schedule I with expenditure projections,
revenue and available cash projections, and net tax levy requirements. Secondly, "Truth
in Taxation" information along with total tax projections are shown in Schedule 2.
Finally, the respective resolutions to comply with "Truth in Taxation" are provided as
Schedules 3 and 4. These resolutions are also included on the regular agenda to meet the
LP** public hearing time limits. Publication should be included in the newspaper the week of
't August 13th for a public hearing on August 27, 1984.
A brief review of each fund listed on Schedules I and 2 is included in the following
paragraphs.
General Fund
The General Fund provides the income to render most services to the citizens of
Elgin. Police and fire services, refuse collection, street maintenance, parks and
recreation services are to name a few. These services are financed by various revenue
sources, including property taxes.
Expenditures for the General Fund are projected to increase only 3.7% in 1985. If
services are maintained at the same levels, this should be adequate. However, any
reductions may reduce services to an unacceptable level.
Revenues, other than property taxes, are projected to increase from $11,200,160 to
$11,284,350 or only 0.8% in 1985. This includes an increase of $200,000 in sales taxes, or
a much lesser increase than 1983 and projected 1984 because of the expected slow down
in the economy. The 1985 state income tax is projected to decline $150,000 because
state income tax rates resumed 1982 levels on July 1, 1 984, although this source is
projected at $38,000 more than 1982. Most other revenue sources are projecting small
increases with some, such as sales of reports and investment income, expected to
decline. The "Freedom of Information Act" passed by the state legislature in 1983 is
causing a $21,000 revenue decrease from police and fire reports. Investment income will
decline $52,365 because unencumbered cash is reduced $412,860 during 1984 and
expected to decline another $900,000 during 1985.

Robert Malm
1984 Tax Levy Ordinance
August 6, 1984
Page 2
Property tax provides the balancing amount between expenditures and other
financing sources for a net of $4,308,555. This amount then becomes the base tax levy
with others to be added for total financing requirements.
A true contingency of $170,000 is added to pay for emergencies. While this amount
is less than potential emergencies, it does provide a reasonable level without being
excessive.
Parking losses of $185,000 are the net effect of providing free parking in downtown
Elgin. The total impact is $385,000 less the amount provided by the Special Service Area
4#2 property taxes of $200,000 for a $185,000 net requirement from General Property
Taxes. If the City Council decides other courses of action later this year, the excess
taxes can be abated at that time.
1 want to point out that the Elgin-O'Hare Business Center debt payment of $126,125
is excluded from the General Fund and included as part of the debt service tax levy.
However, if it is included in the General Fund, the "Truth in Taxation" provisions for a
public hearing then become necessary.
Public Benefit Fund
Public Benefit property taxes of $280,000 are needed to pay the City's share of
Area 1 special assessment.
IMRF Pension Fund
IMRF Pension Fund property taxes of $575,000 are needed to pay the City's share
of non-uniformed personnel pension costs.
Police Pension Fund
The Police Pension Fund property tax levy of $265,000 is recommended by the
City's actuaries. In way of comparison, the State of Illinois - Department of Insurance
recommended $713,142 without considering the City's high yielding investments.
Fire Pension Fund
The Fire Pension Fund property tax levy of $355,000 is recommended by the City's
actuaries. In way of comparison, the State of Illinois - Department of Insurance
recommended $712,795 without considering the City's high yielding investments.
Corporate Bond Fund
The Corporate Bond Fund accounts for the debt service payments for general
obligation bonds not issued for enterprise purposes. Debt service for existing bonds at a
cost of $1,493,462 is projected for abatements of $760,621 with the remaining $736,842
paid from property taxes. In addition, the 1984 G.O. Bond issue is expected to cost about
$297,556 in 1985.
Special Service Area ##2
Tax levy requirements for Special Service Area #2 must be levied separately to pay
a portion of the debt service for the Spring Street Parking Deck. To protect the
Robert Maim
1984 Tax Levy Ordinance
August 6, 1984
Page 3
integrity of the G.O. Bonds and the operation of the Spring Street Deck, it is necessary
to increase the annaul tax levy of $150,000 for 1981 thru 1983 to $200,000 in 1984 for a
33.3% increase. Thus, a "Truth in Taxation" publication and hearing is required.
Conclusion
General property taxes are expected to increase 2.3% in 1985. Depending on what
happens with the parking system experiment, the increase could be less, but this will be
decided later in 1984. For "Truth in Taxation" purposes, general property taxes will
increase only 4.9% as presented so no publication nor hearing is required. This resolution
is included as Schedule 3.
Special Service Area /12 property taxes are to increase 33.3%. As a result, the
"Truth in Taxation" resolution is shown as Schedule 4 with a public hearing required on
August 27, 1984.
