Regular Board Meeting — Page 2April 20, 2075. Administrator’s Reports

5.1. Superintendent’s Report — Dr. Benway commented on the following:Legislation

HB156• Passed out of the House/To be considered by the Senate upon their return from Spring Break• Expands the Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities to any veteran who is 75 or older;

changes the levels of exemption per % of disability and adds extending the exemption to survivingspouse in the case of death of the disabled veteran

• Increase the Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption from $5,000 to $6,000• Create a new Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption for those receiving Supplemental Security

Income beginning in taxable year 2017 for property improved with a permanent structure and disallowsa person receiving this exemption from receiving the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze or the newLong-time Occupant Homestead Exemption.

• Increase the General Homestead Exemption from $6,000 (all other counties) and $7,000 (Cook) to$8,000 for all counties

• Create a new Statewide Long-time Occupant Homestead Exemption providing an additional exemptionbased on the length of time a homeowner has resided at a residence. The exemption would be $2,000 for8 years of residency up to $4,800 for 21 years or longer.

• Increases the Senior Citizens Real Estate Tax Deferral limit from $5,000 to $6,000

HBIO9• Would provide $800 million in funding to social service providers and higher education• Passed through the House and Senate• Governor Rauner has been on record as opposing any future stop-gap measures; veto predicted• House does not likely have enough votes to override the veto

Pass Illinois Budget Initiative

Dr. Benway discussed her intent to join the grassroots initiative called PASS ILLINOIS’ BUDGET. As ofthe Board meeting over 185 superintendents from across Illinois are participating.

Health Insurance Committee

Dr. Benway informed the Board that the Health Insurance Committee has been meeting. There is a goodpossibility that the District will need to change insurance providers for 2017-2018. Employees have not beensatisfied with Aetna and the preliminary premium proposals would indicate a benefit to consider otherproviders. The District’s consultants believe that going with another provider may result in little to no costincrease for 20 17-2018. A 10% increase in health insurance costs was built into the 5-year financial forecast.Another meeting is scheduled and the Board will likely be presented with information at the May meetingrequiring action.

Student Transportation

Dr. Benway referenced that she will be recommending under Agenda Item 10.4 that the Board approve a 2-year contract extension with Illinois Central Bus Company. At the Board retreat, Dr. Benway has indicatedthat OTHS and the feeder districts were planning to bid transportation. As the Districts were working on thebid, information came from other Districts who were bidding that transportation bids were coming in with20-25% increases. OTHS and the feeders thought it best to negotiate an extension with our currenttransportation provider rather than risk a 20-25% increase. As a result, under the contract to extend servicesfor 2 years with Illinois Central, costs will increase 14% in year I and 2.5% in year 2. The 5-year financialforecast included 0% increase for next year and a 3% for the following year.
