Presenta6on of the 2014 Tax Levy, Mr. Gress (3minutes)
2014 Tax Levy Presentation October 21, 2014
The tax levy is the major revenue source for the district. Approximately 80% of annual revenues come from the levy. } The levy process starts by reviewing the needs of the district by individual fund. This includes reviewing the current fund balance, annual expenses of the fund and other projected large projects. }
}
How much can the levy go up?
◦ The prior year tax extension increased by the lesser of 5.0% or the consumer price index (CPI) from December of the prior year (2014 – 1.5%). This is the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL). ◦ In addition any new property or expiring TIF’s come on the tax rolls as new property, and are not subject to the PTELL. The levy needs to be increased to cover this new property. A good way to identify expiring TIF’s is to contact the local municipality for information.
Not maximizing the tax levy results in the loss of dollars for not only that year, but future years because future levy increases are based on the previous year extension. } Several funds are subject to a rate ceiling, it is important to make sure to factor that in when preparing the levy. } In the current economic environment a balloon levy can ensure that you capture all dollars available. }
Any requests for more than what is allowed are reduced to the maximum allowable by the county. } At the time the levy is approved we don’t know the EAV for the year. We can estimate it but need to make the levy is maximized even if there are major increases or decreases in the levy (and/or new property). }
2013 Tax Extension } Consumer Price Index (CPI) } Prior Year EAV $85,891,946 } Estimated New Property } Estimated New EAV

One increase of note is the $1,700,000 levied in the Transportation Fund. The State AFR form and budget form allow for transfer among funds out of the Transportation Fund to the Educational Fund. Along with this levy I would propose to transfer $1,000,000 from the Transportation Fund to the Education Fund to allow easier availability to use those dollars.
As you can see the limiting rate and the final cap tax rate in the spreadsheet are the same, ensuring that we have not under levied for the district. } This levy has been tested to ensure maximizing dollars captured with EAV’s as low as $75,000,000 and higher than $150,000,000 }

Recommended Approval of 125 Plan, Mr. Gress (3minutes)
}
Section 125 plans provide a simple and effective way to add employee benefits, especially for businesses with a number of employees who regularly have medical expenses. Employees can deduct their insurance premiums pretax. With a section 125 flexible spending account, employees can save an average of 30% in federal, state, and local taxes on items they already pay out-of-pocket.
Employees saves on federal taxes by having medical deductions pre-taxed } District saves on FICA taxes by having employee medical deductions taken out pretaxed }
