A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A REV�MNDUM_0N WHETHER THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK SHALL BE a moME RULE UNIT: Trustee Bartecki presented a brief outline of the Village's Budget and noted options to raise additional revenue for the Village's shortfall by implementing Home Itale and increased Sales Tax revenue. Acting Village Manager Kapff outlined alternatives of revenue sources for the Village: A. If the utility Tax is not extended after September, there would be a drastic reduction in capital improvements and level of services to the residents. B. Assume the continued 4% utility Tax on natural gas and electric, and 3% for telephone would not generate enough funds to maintain the came level of services and capital improvements. C. Increase utility rate to 5% on electric, 5% on natural gas and 4% on telephone, increase Sales Tax 1/4% enacted through Home Rule in November, and passage of an ordinance. Illinois Department of Revenue initiates tax as of June 1, 1993 and collect tax September, 1993. only eight (8) months of 93/94 would receive ;chat revenue. D. Eliminate utility tax after 92/93 and institute a 1/2% Sales Tax. Trustee Bartecki noted that Home Rule would not be detrimental to the residents as it would affect Sales Tax and the Village would still maintain its present services. This enables the Village to generate additional revenues of a non-residential nature to balance the budget. Trustee Bartecki stated Home Rule gives the Village more control on the usage of Village property, liquor regulations, zoning, land use, licensing control, additional revenue sources, hotel/motel taxes, utility tax, property tax, amusement tax, gasoline tax and government structure.
