2. Board Comments
State Income Tax
Mr. Raysa said there was a 1976 case in which the Circuit Court determined
that if a census was conducted after the 1970 federal census upon which the
Village received a proportionate share of income tax, that tax will be recouped
from the Village. The Illinois Municipal League is calling a meeting of municipal
attorneys on April 15, 1977, to discuss this case which is presently on direct
appeal to the Supreme Court. Mr. Balling noted that the 1970 census found
Buffalo Grove's population to be 11 ,799, the 1972 special census found 15,600,
and the 1974 special census found 18,300; therefore, any recoupment of the tax
would have a substantial impact on the Village.

Robert Quid for his efforts and dedication to duty in co-ordinating the arrest
