Mayor Johnson spoke about the recent tax assessments that were mailed out for those living in Elk Grove Township. The Mayor stated his assessment went up thirty-two percent. The Village does not base taxes on assessment, the Village taxes on dollar amount. The Village requests a certain dollar amount and that amount is divided amongst the residents and the businesses. The Village encourages anyone who feels they are being unfairly assessed to appeal the assessment. Elk Grove Village has no input on assessments. Presentations: Mayor Johnson asked Police Chief Schmidt and his family to join him at the podium. Chief Schmidt began his career with the Elk Grove Police Department in 1975. Chief Schmidt has served the Village for forty years, and as Chief for almost seventeen years. Chief Schmidt wears three stars on his uniform.
