q�F Village Board Transmittal Memorandum
'0UUNT1
DATE: October 1, 2003
SUBJECT: Utility Tax Ordinance
FROM: Darrell Langlois
RECOMMENDATION: I move that the Village Board adopt the attached ordinance which
extends the imposition of the utility tax on natural gas and electricity
at the rate of 5% through December 31, 2004.
The Village first imposed utility taxes on various utilities in 1991. When the tax was first imposed, the
enabling ordinance included a one year "sunset" provision so that the Village Board could review both
necessity and the rates of tax annually. The tax has been re- imposed each year thereafter (at varying
rates), and the current ordinance imposing this tax expires on December 31, 2003
When the 2003 -2007 Five -Year Plan was completed, it was projected the these taxes were needed at
the maximum rate of 5% for the duration of the planning period. Since that time, there have not been
d enough positive events from a revenue perspective that would enable the Village to consider lowering
these taxes without impacting existing service levels, at least in the next several years.
Although the Village Board has not yet considered either the 2004 Budget or 2004 -2008 Five -Year
Financial Plan, action on this item is requested at this time in order to give appropriate notice to the
utilities of the village's intent to continue imposition of these taxes. Thus, it is recommended that the
Village Board extend the taxes at the rate of 5% through December 31, 2004. For 2003, 60% of the
receipts of this tax are allocated to the Infrastructure Fund and 40% of the receipts are allocated to the
General Corporate Fund. At budget time we will finalize the use for these funds for 2004.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
