V RECOMMEND 1984 McHENRY LEVY REORGANIZATION (Continued from page 1) rate allowed by law is seven cents. At the present time, police expenses are paid out of the General fund. Noting the high cost of police protection, aldermen appeared to favor .this move. The committee also recommended' a levy for school crossing guards, but this proposal met with some op­ position. McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek pointed out that any funds generated by this specific levy would have to be used for school crossing guards. He suggested the levy be incorporated into the police protection levy, with the understanding that the money was to be used for crossing guards. The mayor also noted that in many areas, school districts accept the responsibility and cost of providing crossing guards. Stanek also commented that once the service was provided, it would be very difficult to abate the tax. As proposed by the committee, the rate for the crossing guards would be two cents. Aid. William Bolger (1st) said he would like to see the police protection levy at $.035, rather than the proposed $.050. He contended that an increased assessed valuation would generate more tax dollars for the city. Stanek commented that the city was committed to those employees who are entitled to progression raises. "We have to generate enough money to operate the city," Stanek said. "Going» from 86 cents ($.852) to 87 cents ($.867) to provide services is still a bargain." The mayor noted that the city tax rate is the lowest for anvjnuniciDalitv a Proposed City Levy Rates For 1984 - • • MAX. 1983 1983 FUND RATE RATE ACTUAL Audit None $.011 4 $10,585 Band . $.040 $.004 $3,849 Crossing Guards $.020 .-- ' " -- Debt Service None $.073 $70,244 Emer.

"I would like to see if we could hold the line in a few places," Bolger said. Busse commented, "That $.867 could be lowered with a bond abatement or more sales taxes (received). I would rather have the revenues in there and adjust later." No action was taken at Monday night's meeting and the council will resolye levy issues at a publice hearing Aug. 29. Passage of the levy ordinance is also expected at this time. i Identification Photos Offered On Thursday, Aug. 4, the McHenry County Senior Citizens council will offer free identification photo cards to senior citizens over the age of 65.
