One of her first duties will be to make new committee appointments. Other board business centered on informational reports. The Multiplier Neutralizes the Illinois Association of School Board's Resolutions Review and a Five-Year Enrollment Projection Report received board attention. Supt. Richard Farmer expressed concern that the passage of House Bill 2485 neutralizing the multiplier (which equalizes real estate assessments to the one-third of market value required by law) would cause a "monumental problem" for the school district. He indicated that without the multiplier the schools could stay open for three months and then would have to close for lack of funds. He noted that the bill would not lower real estate taxes as hoped because assessments would sub­ sequently have to be raised at the county level to meet the law. If the assessments were not quickly ad­ justed in the county, he said, District 15 would lose $1,574,764 or 34 percent of its income. In another report, Arthur Newbrough presented a listing of resolutions of the Illinois Association of School boards. One of these with which District 15 is in accord suggested a school district be allowed to levy a tax to pay utility costs. School utility costs have risen 60 percent over the last three years. Allowing a district to levy a tax to cover increasing costs would eliminate the need for a district to go to a referendum to relieve this unusual maintenance fund burden. In a third report, Dr. Farmer presented a demographic study in­ dicating the elementary district growth would hold steady with no declining enrollments for the next few years. No school closings are forecast, he said. In action resulting from a Building and Planning committee report, the board voted to accept a bid for an Energy audit to be performed by the firm of Unteed, Scaggs, Fritch, Nelson, Ltd. of Elgin. The total cost of the audit is $3,000 for six schools. The audit can be funded under the Life Safety program according to Asst. Supt. for Operational Services Bill Landis.
