provided for two tax rates enabled by the same ordinance over an assemblage
of residential and commercial properties within the Subdivision. While setting
up the tax levies in its system, the Lake County Tax Department informed the
Village that the Lake County tax system does not allow the same special

Summary: Fire engine 212 experienced an engine failure rendering the unit
not usable and out of service. The unit is currently used as a backup and is
scheduled for replacement in 2027 but a rebuilt engine until then is a prudent
option. The requested not-to-exceed amount of $43,895.51 includes a 10%
contingency amount for unanticipated expenses.

Event on Saturday, May 18, 2024
Summary: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on February 13,
2024 to review this new special event request from an external organization
for a Water Lantern Festival on May 18, 2024 from 5 – 9:30 pm. The
approximate number of attendees for this event is 2,000 people to utilize the
waterfront and playground pavilion at Paulus Park. The lanterns to be
launched in the lake are made from rice paper and wood so they are eco-
friendly and the LED candles are reused and recycled. Paulus Park grounds

will also include food vendors and live entertainment.

County in the Amount Not-to-Exceed $119,842
