How the adopted property tax levy changed from the earliest to the latest ordinance
AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checkedThe City Council adopted a property tax levy for the City and the Library of $19,127,311 on December 15, 2025, $794,006 more than the $18,333,305 it adopted on December 18, 2017, the earliest adoption in these records, so the latest is 104.3% of the earliest. The total fell to $16,481,003 the next year, when the Library Board cut its portion, and rose in most later years, while the City's own request stayed level for several of them. The two latest ordinances also direct the County Clerk to add a loss factor to the levy, which the earlier ordinances reviewed do not.
Why this connection matters
The levy is the property tax the City Council adopts each year for the City and its Library, so the adopted amounts show how that request changed over the years these records cover. The amounts the County extends can differ from them.

The earliest levy in these records
At its meeting on December 18, 2017, the City Council approved the levy for the City and the Library at final reading, and the roll call shows the motion carried 6–0. The staff scorecard for that final reading puts the total at $18,333,305, with a net levy of $18,021,639 beside it. At the meeting on December 4, 2017, the levy motion as first presented listed $19,425,265; the Council amended it, and the main motion as amended carried 7–0. The amount approved at final reading was the lower one.

A lower levy the next year, after the Library Board cut its portion
At its meeting on December 17, 2018, the Council approved the next levy as part of its consent agenda, whose motion carried 6–0. The staff scorecard for that final reading puts the total at $16,481,003, $1,852,302 less than the year before. The same scorecard lists the Library Board's resolution as a reduction of $1,957,524, more than the fall in the whole levy.

Increases over the next two years
The levy approved on December 16, 2019 came to $17,559,850 in the staff scorecard for its final reading, and the motion carried 5–1. The one approved on December 21, 2020 came to $18,437,844, and that motion carried 5–2. The Library tax stayed at $4,008,000 in both ordinances, so the second increase was in the City's own funds; the staff memo for the second of these levies lists the police pension part of the net levy at $3,166,400, up 23.3% from the year before, and the fire pension part at $2,763,637, up 17.4%. The City's budget states that it stopped levying for debt service beginning with tax year 2019, the year of the first of these levies.

The levy approved on December 6, 2021 was $18,518,005, which the minutes record the Finance Director describing as an overall increase of 0.43%, and the motion carried 5–1; the Library tax rose from $4,008,000 to $4,088,160. The City's budget states that its own request for the levy approved on December 19, 2022 equaled the two before it, at $14,429,845. The ordinances approved on December 19, 2022 and December 4, 2023 both levy $4,088,161 for the Library, and the second of those motions carried 6–0.

The two most recent levies
The levy approved on December 16, 2024 was $18,599,768 and the one approved on December 15, 2025 was $19,127,311, $527,543 more; both were approved as part of a consent agenda, whose motions carried 6–0 and 7–0. The City's budgets put its own levy at $14,429,845 for the first of these, the same as its request for the levy approved on December 19, 2022, and at $14,790,590 for the latest, $360,745 more, which the budget describes as a 2.5% increase. The latest ordinance levies $4,336,721 for the Library, which with the City's share makes up the total.

How the totals allow for uncollected taxes changed
The staff scorecard for the earliest levy lists a net levy of $18,021,639 beside the total of $18,333,305, and a later staff memo explains that the City budgets on a net levy set below the gross amount levied because it does not receive all of the tax. The ordinances for the two most recent levies instead direct the County Clerk to add a loss factor to the levy, citing the rate at which property taxes are collected; the earlier levy ordinances reviewed contain no such direction. Measured against the earliest net levy, the latest total is 106.1% of it.

A later scorecard restates one year's total
A staff scorecard prepared for the following year's levy lists the levy approved on December 17, 2018 as $16,498,859, not the $16,481,003 in the scorecard for its final reading. The difference sits in the net debt service line, which the later scorecard lists at $257,754 against $240,202 in the earlier one, and the amounts in the ordinance draft attached to that final reading add up to about the restated figure. This finding uses the amounts approved at final reading.

Where the series starts
The earliest levy here was itself the second cut in a row: the staff scorecard for it lists gross levies of $21,928,632 and $20,144,529 for the two years before it, both above every adopted total in this series. The City's budget describes its own levy as having peaked in tax year 2015 and fallen since. Measured from either of those two earlier years, the latest adopted total, $19,127,311, is lower, not higher.

What remains unresolved?
What the evidence does not establish
- How much tax Cook County extended and collected for each levy year.
- Whether the loss factor that the two latest ordinances ask the County Clerk to add raised the amounts extended above the adopted totals, unlike the earliest years, whose gross totals already allowed for uncollected taxes.
- Whether the levies adopted on December 6, 2021, December 19, 2022 and December 4, 2023 allowed for uncollected taxes: their memos call the amounts in each ordinance the net levy, while the scorecards for earlier years show a net levy below the gross total.
- Which total for the levy approved on December 17, 2018 was filed with the County: the scorecard for its final reading states $16,481,003, while the next year's scorecard gives $16,498,859.
- Why each fund's portion changed from year to year, beyond the component changes the memos and budgets list.
- What any particular tax bill paid, which also depends on assessments, exemptions and other taxing bodies.
Cook County tax extension reports for Park Ridge
They show the amount extended for each levy year, including any loss factor, which can differ from the adopted amount.
Signed and filed levy ordinances
The meeting packets hold unnumbered drafts; the filed ordinances would confirm the final amounts, including the second year's, and the ordinance numbers.
Library Board levy resolutions
They would show how the Library set its portion each year, including the large cut in the second year of the series.
The levy for the next tax year
It would extend the series past the latest adoption in the collection.
Levy and collection tables in the City's annual financial reports
They list taxes levied and collected by levy year from County Treasurer data, which can differ from the adopted totals, for example where a loss factor is added.
What does the evidence suggest, and what would change it?
The adopted levy for the City and the Library was $794,006 higher at the latest adoption, $19,127,311, than at the earliest, $18,333,305, so the latest is 104.3% of the earliest. It fell to $16,481,003 the next year as the Library's portion was cut, rose over the next two years, held nearly level while the City's own request stayed flat, and rose again in the two latest years.

Assumptions
- Each year's amount is the total for the City and the Library approved at final reading, after the bond abatements adopted with it; for the earliest four years it is taken from the staff scorecard for that reading, on the understanding that it matches the adopting motion.
- The ordinance drafts attached to each final-reading item are the ordinances adopted; their amounts add up to the adopted totals in every year but the second, where they come to about the later restated figure, and the signed ordinances were not reviewed.
- The Library's part of each total is the Library tax stated in that year's ordinance, and the City's own part is the rest.
- No later amendment to these levies appears in the records reviewed.
Other explanations
- Reading the earliest year from the motion as first presented, $19,425,265, instead of the amount adopted at final reading would overstate the adopted amount. (ruled out by the records)
- The earliest total was a gross levy that already allowed for uncollected taxes, while the two latest ordinances ask the County Clerk to add a loss factor on top. Measured against the earliest net levy, $18,021,639, the latest total is 106.1% of it, a larger rise than the adopted totals show. (still open)
- Measuring the City's own levy alone gives a different path: the budgets put it at $14,429,845 for three levies and the same, $14,429,845, for the one approved on December 16, 2024, then $14,790,590 for the latest, while the Library Board's resolution cut $1,957,524 in the second year. (still open)
- Amounts extended by Cook County may differ from the adopted amounts, as the later restatement of one year at $16,498,859 suggests. (still open)
- Starting the series two years earlier, at the gross levy of $21,928,632, would show the latest adopted total as a decline rather than a rise. (still open)
What would change this
- A later ordinance or County record shows that any of these levies was amended after its final reading.
- County extension records show that the amounts extended moved differently from the adopted totals, for example because of the loss factor in the two latest ordinances.
- The signed ordinances state amounts that differ from the drafts in the meeting packets.
- The filed ordinance for the second year states the restated total rather than the adopted one.
