Discussion- Repeal of Sec. 16.404 Trustee Schleicher stated that the ordinance Use of Sales Tax for Bonds passed July 17, 1967 (0- 67 -41), imposing a tax of three- fourths of one per cent on retail sales had included a repeal of Section 16.404, which section provided that so much of the sales tax as is necessary for payment of Municipal Building Bonds shall be set aside and the tax'levy for said bonds be abated. !He stated the section should be retained as a matter of keeping faith with the voters who had approved the issuance of bonds for the construction of the Village Hall..The manager stated that the Board had voted to commingle funds some years ago, the section was unnecessary since the levy was abated each year and would be abated, and it would tend to confuse future Boards.

The matter will be on the agenda for the next meeting. Retain Vehicle License Receipts The manager stated that the Budget provided for in St. 9.

Tax Rate to .25 ordinance relative to the establishment of a maximum tax rate of .25 for general corporate purposes. The Village attorney explained that a new law permits in increase in the corporate levy to .25 over a two year period without referendum, with one -half the increase levied each year. He reported that the Cook County Clerk's office had stated the levy would be increased without the filing of an ordinance establishing the higher rate, but the Lake County Clerk's office will require an ordinance. Trustee Craig stated he felt it was an inappropriate time to increase real estate taxes since other taxes have been raised, and the Village can get along without the higher levy; if additional funds are needed, the ordinance then can be adopted to increase the levy. Trustee Kelm suggested that the ordinance be adopted to establish the higher rate, and the tax levy be reduced to the amount that would have been levied at the lower rate. The ordinance was read in full. After further discussion, Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Kelm, that the rules be waived to permit action on the ordinance at its first presentation.
