Free Speech Zone
Administrator Guenther made a presentation on the Free Speech Zone issue. This has
come up several times over the years, the first time in 1987. We are addressing this issue
again due to residents asking about religious displays during the holiday season,
specifically Menorahs and crèches. The Board was asked if they wanted to create a Free
Speech Zone policy.
In 1987 a court case was brought against the Village's créche stating the Village could not
display the crèche as it was a religious symbol. The courts went back and forth for years
Page 2 of 24
on this topic. In 2017 a court case involving O'Hare Airport and their displays of holiday
religious symbols being on a "public forum". Based on a resident's request to consider
something similar in the Village, the Village attorney at the time created a memo
regarding this. Since the grassy area just outside the Village Hall had not been designated
as a "public forum", the request for religious symbols was denied. The Village has not
created a Village property as a "public forum" due to it being an "all or nothing" scenario
(Mr. Guenther referenced a situation where Girl Scouts were selling cookies on municipal
property and members of the Ku Klux Klan demanded to use the same space for their
display). They were denied and the court case that followed had the municipality losing.
In 2017, a survey was sent out to the residents. 55% of those responding did not want
religious displays on public land, 72% did not want tax dollars spent on the purchase and
maintenance of religious displays.
In 2022, an ordinance was enacted stating Village approval is needed before any displays
on Village property, flag poles, etc.
Do we want a Free Speech Zone? This can be anything not deemed obscene by the
Village. We already have an assembly policy and this would not interfere with that.
Trustee Schwenk asked what this policy would not be—i.e., the example he gave was
protests. Mr. Guenther said that would not be interfered with. Trustee Juarez asked if this
space would have to be accessible to parking—the answer was yes, it would have to be. A
possible location for this space was shown, and it was the green space at Courtland and
Hawthorne, which has available parking along Hawthorne. Mr. Juarez wanted to know if
the regular maintenance of the property would still be handled by the Village (yes it
would be). Trustee Lambert pointed out that this would not all be cost-free and that this
project appears to be more of a "want" than a "need". Trustee Krinski spoke about what
could Village could ban—could we ban the swastika (which is viewed as a hate symbol)?
Attorney Cahill said that is where things get complicated; Trustee Ugaste doesn't like the
idea of having staff have to make these kinds of decisions—what is OK and what isn't.
Trustee Grieco said there is enough controversy in the world, and she would not want to
have to see whatever signs or displays might be placed at this grassy spot (she used to live
in this area), also having kids have to walk by it daily would not be her choice. Trustee
Schwenk is worried about the slippery slope that this could become; putting more work
on staff with permits and researching what is OK and what is not.
Mayor Meier took a straw poll and the result was no to the issue.
NEW BUSINESS
ATM with Video Gaming
Administrator Guenther discussed this topic which has come up numerous times over the
years.
Page 3 of 24
In 2012 the Board approved gaming machines in certain establishments with the Village.
At the same time they banned ATMs in those establishments. There is an addictiveness
associated with gambling; problem drinkers are 23 times more likely to have a gambling
problem than others. Numerous studies point to an increase in crimes as a result to
gambling including domestic battery, DUI, fraud, and robbery.
Mr. Guenther went over the pros and cons, and the establishments seem to want the
ATMs.
Trustee Juarez was a flat no and ATMs are generally walkable to the places with the
gaming machines. Trustee Krinski said he has known gamblers (and they are always
waiting for the big payoff). He is against the machines. Trustee Ugaste feels the Village
doesn't "need" this and we are not the morality police though many businesses are in
support of this. Trustee Schwenk doesn't want to legislate morality but we don't have to
make it easier. In looking at the slide showing the responses various businesses gave for
adding ATMs, it appeared to be primarily to support their business off of gaming.
There were 4 no's from the Board.

1. 2025 Property Tax Levy Presentation
Background:
Property Tax Levy
Property taxes are the largest revenue source for the Village; last year the Village levied $16.8 million
for various government functions.
Our 2024 property tax levy rate was 1.37. Our EAV is expected to increase in 2025 by approximately
9.6%.
Each year an independent actuary determines the annual funding needed for our fire & police
pension trust funds to achieve 90% funding by 2040, required per current State law. This year’s
report indicates a $174K increase for the fire plan and a $322K increase for the police plan for the
State required amount from the prior year valuation. Current funding levels are 67% for fire and 58%
for police.
The table on page 10 of the PowerPoint document illustrates our last ten property tax levies/rates,
along with several options to consider for the upcoming property tax levy that must be adopted by
December.
Option 1A — No change to the corporate levy of $7.436 million, decrease the IMRF levy to $600K
and the Social Security levy to $1.1 million, and fund the fire pension at $180K and the police pension
Page 5 of 24
at $360K more than the 2025 statutory minimum.
Option 2A – No change to the corporate levy of $7.436 million, decrease the IMRF levy to $600K and
the Social Security levy to $1.1 million, and fund the fire pension and the police pension at the
actuary recommended amount.
Option 1B – Increase the corporate levy to $7.704 million, decrease the IMRF levy to $600K and the
Social Security levy to $1.1 million, and fund the fire pension at $180K and the police pension at
$360K more than the 2025 statutory minimum.
Option 2B – Increase the corporate levy to $7.704 million, decrease the IMRF levy to $600K and the
Social Security levy to $1.1 million, and fund the fire pension and the police pension at the actuary
recommended amount.
Option 3B – Increase the corporate levy to $7.957 million, decrease the IMRF levy to $600K and the
Social Security levy to $1.1 million, and fund the fire pension at $180K and the police pension at
$360K more than the 2025 statutory minimum.
Option 4B – Increase the corporate levy to $8.551 million, decrease the IMRF levy to $600K and the
Social Security levy to $1.1 million, and fund the fire pension at $180K and the police pension at
$360K more than the 2025 statutory minimum.
All these options will decrease the tax rate from the 2024 levy rate of 1.37.
For a home valued at $300,000, the approximate property tax paid to the Village for the 2024 Tax
Levy was $1,368.
The change to the homeowner’s tax bill for the Village of Mundelein for each option is as follows:
Option 1A: Increase tax by $2 with a tax rate of 1.25.
Option 2A: Increase tax by $45 with a tax rate of 1.29.
Option 1B: Increase tax by $24 with a tax rate of 1.27.
Option 2B: Increase tax by $67 with a tax rate of 1.31.
Option 3B: Increase tax by $45 with a tax rate of 1.29.
Option 4B: Increase tax by $93 with a tax rate of 1.33.
The property tax levy ordinances will be on the December 08, 2025, Village Board agenda to be
adopted.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends Option 2A to allow for sufficient contributions to the Public Safety Pensions. This
option also includes no increase for the Corporate amount. In order to provide for adequate funds to
cover the inflationary increases and growth in the Village for wages, services, and supplies necessary
to deliver the level of service expected of our residents, an Alternative Revenue stream from a
Grocery tax is recommended rather than increase property taxes for Corporate (General Fund) use.
