Glendale considering hike
Roads, sewers need overhaul

GLENDALE — Village leaders on Monday will resume discussions about a proposed 2.5-mill property tax increase for the Nov. 2 ballot.
They are hoping residents will attend to offer feedback on the plan, which will not be voted on until May.
The hike would pay for repairs to the village's outdated sewer and water-main systems and roads.
If approved by voters, the levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $74 a year and generate $160,000 annually for the next 10 years.
Village Manager Walter Cordes said sewer and water-main problems have plagued the village for years. He added that annual repairs for underground work become more expensive each year.
Currently, the village does one project a year, spending about $200,000.
That money is taken from various sources, including the Village Plan and General Improvement fund, a $1.5 million reserve used for emergencies or specific purchases, and license plates and gasoline taxes.
Two independent studies conducted on the village's infrastructure determined that bringing the system up to adequate condition would cost about $3.6 million.
Village officials broke this number down to about $360,000 a year for the next 10 years.
The meeting will take place 7 p.m. Monday at Town Hall, 80 E. Sharon Road.
