The Mundelein Committee of the Whole convened on November 11, 2024, to discuss the annual property tax levy, a critical topic that directly impacts local residents. The meeting began with roll call, confirming the presence of all trustees, and proceeded to the approval of minutes from the previous meeting.

The primary focus of the evening was the 2024 property tax levy discussion, led by Finance Director Linda Gupther. This annual review is essential as it sets the framework for the village's tax rate, which must be communicated to the public at least 20 days prior to the final vote. Gupther emphasized the importance of adhering to this timeline to ensure transparency and compliance with regulations.

While no public commentary was offered during the meeting, the committee is preparing to finalize the tax levy proposal, which will be voted on in the upcoming board meeting in December. This decision is crucial for determining the village's funding for essential services and infrastructure, directly affecting the community's quality of life.

As the committee moves forward, residents can expect further updates and details regarding the proposed tax rate, ensuring they are informed about how these decisions will influence their local services and financial responsibilities. The next steps will involve publishing the proposed levy to meet the required notice period, paving the way for community engagement and feedback before the final vote.
