4. Discussion Authorizing the Sale of Refunding Bonds
For the past several months, staff has been working on a strategy to address the TIF increment shortfall in the North Avenue TIF District (TIF 3) in order to meet the required annual debt payments. The plan was developed to keep all property tax supported debt at a flat amount So property taxpayers would not see an increase in property taxes to meet these obligations. The strategy incorporates existing tax supported bonds, future road referendum bonds, levying for the existing TIF 3 alternate revenue bonds (ARBS) to the extent required, and refunding the TIF 3 debt certificates with ARBs. This is a discussion item only. Kevin McCanna from Speer Financial, our financial advisory firm, will also be on hand at the meeting.
5. Consider a Resolution of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, Estimating the Tax Levy for 2016 in Compliance with the Truth in Taxation Law
This is the time of year where the Village Board is to consider its annual property tax levy. The first formal action is tonight's resolution estimating the tax levy. A hearing notice will be published in late November, and a public hearing will be held on December 5. The first reading of the tax levy and abatement ordinances will be held on December 5, with final adoption planned for December 19. The Village is tax capped, meaning the majority of our tax levy can increase by just 0.7% this year. This year, our resolution includes a total tax levy of $9,396,464 (for the Village and Library) or 2.6% more than last year.
6. Consider a Resolution of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, Opposing Any Advancement of Senate Bill 2785
Senate Bill 2785 creates the Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act, which severely limits local authority by virtually eliminating the ability of cities, villages, incorporated towns, townships, and Counties to regulate the location and installation of small wireless equipment within their jurisdictions, thereby posing a threat to public safety.
7. Consider a Resolution of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, Authorizing Change Order No. 1 (Final) to the Contract Between the Village of Villa Park and Orange Crush, LLC, for the 2016 North Princeton Avenue improvement Project
The Village has a contract with Orange Crush, LLC, of Hillside, Illinois, for the 2016 North Princeton Avenue improvement Project. Proposed final Change Order #1 consists of the final balancing of contract quantities as measured in the field. The net amount of proposed final Change Order #1 is a deduction of $66,669.71, for an adjusted final contract amount of $932,228.29
8. Consider a Resolution of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, Authorizing an Engineering Services Agreement Between the Village of Villa Park and Civiltech Engineering Inc. for the 2017 Street improvements
The Village proposes the third year of bond referendum funded road improvements to various streets located throughout the Village. Public Works Staff proposes using CivilTech Engineering for the Phase il Design Engineering Services. A proposed Engineering Services Agreement establishes the scope of services at a cost not to exceed $181,955. Funds will be taken from the Street improvement Fund (Bond and Non-Bond), Water, and Wastewater Funds.
9. Consider an Ordinance of the Village of Villa Park, DuPage County, Illinois, Amending the Number of Members of the Historical Preservation Commission
At a prior Villa Park Historical Preservation Commission meeting, a motion was passed to reduce the size of the Commission from Seven members to five members. Other Commissions have had similar reductions. This change would allow the VPHPC commission to hold a formal meeting and have a quorum.
