OLD BUSINESS
A. DISCUSSION/ACTION ON RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPEAL TO THE ILLINOIS PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD
The school district filed a tax assessment complaint with the Grundy County Board of Review regarding the assessment of the GE-Hitachi spent nuclear fuel storage facility. The result of that appeal kept the equalized assessed value of the plant at $6,131,868. The evidence provided by the district’s legal counsel warrants a much higher assessed value, which will be pursued at the Illinois PTAB. The Board of Education approved the authorization of the filing of an appeal to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board.
Mr. Lander moved and Mr. Rogers seconded to approve the Resolution Authorizing Appeal to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board as presented, and to waive the reading of the Resolution.
