Teaching Kids Empowering Responses

Last month, we

discussed a

framework for

understanding and

explaining “bad”

behavior to kids.

Empowering kids to

understand what is

rude, what is mean,

and what is bullying

gives them tools and

reduces the overuse

of the term bullying,

which often has a

mandated response.

In the same vein, here

are three empowering

responses to

unwelcome behavior

to teach kids. These

responses are

powerful for a number

of reasons. First and

foremost, teaching

kids how to respond

(apart from telling an

adult) is motivating,

builds self-esteem,

and is in line with all

the principles of

resilience coaching.

Kids want to be able to

handle situations

themselves - which is

what we (caring

adults) want too! This

is something I have

personally heard from

kids in Henry County;

it is also borne out by

research.

These responses have

a broad utility. They

are useful for dealing

with negative social

interactions, but also

apply to most adverse

situations. As caring

adults, we might teach

these initially when

coaching kids on

bullying or other social

situations (remember

to use the "consultant

model”), but then

review these skills

when kids come to us

with other difficulties.

Each of these

responses is more

than a tool. Each

Written by Evan Harris, LCSW for the Henry County Mental Health Alliance

response is in fact a

character trait to be

built over time. When

kids use these

responses and

practice these skills,

they will experience

mental states which,

repeated enough, will

become mental traits

to carry through their

lives.

Mindful means slowing

down and paying

attention to the details.

It is natural for kids to

react rather than

respond when

provoked. Being

mindful means taking

a few deep breaths

and feeling anger/fear/

sadness/etc (rather

than “being” angry/

afraid/sad/etc) and

then choosing a

response. This skill is

best practiced outside

of high-pressure social

situations so then

when the time comes,

the skill is already in

place.

Confident is

recognizing that we

don’t in fact need

anyone’s approval.

When someone is

rude, mean, or bullies,

kids can decide to be

confident about who

they are. They can

choose to simply walk

away, or even give a

neutral response, such

as “thanks for telling

me.” Confidence is

powerful and will have

a profound effect on

how kids are treated

and how they feel.

Resilient is a choice to

move into difficulties

with the attitude that

they make us

stronger. We can help

kids recognize

difficulties they have

overcome in the past

and how they grew as

a result. When new

trouble arises, this

attitude can make all

the difference. Kids

see that while they

didn’t choose this

difficulty, they can

choose how to

respond.

These three

responses make up a

balanced set of tools

for responding to

social situations. Kids

will feel they are

equipped for what

comes along, and that

preparedness is

empowering in and of

itself. As they use

these skills, kids will

grow in all these areas

until they become

second-nature.

Mindful,

Confident

and

Resilient:

These three

responses

make up a

balanced

set of tools

for

responding

to social

situations.

Brooks Gibbs visited

Cambridge High

School last

month. The Alliance

appreciates

Cambridge’s initiative,

shouldering the cost

and especially their

open invitation to

attend. Brooks

included a public

presentation with Q &

A and also worked

with students during

the school day. Brooks

is known as a leader

in the field of

resilience and anti-

bullying. Here are

some take-aways, and

some ways to apply

them to your work as a

resilience coach.

One of the first points

Brooks made was to

share what didn’t work

for him. For the first

several years of his

work with kids and

efforts to reduce

bullying, he promoted

kindness and love and

encouraged students

to be considerate and

take care of one

another. Eventually he

found this approach to

be a dead end,

and why it was a dead

end is perhaps the

most important part.

Promoting kindness as

a stand-alone remedy

for bullying creates the

expectation of

improving the social

environment around

the victim until the

bullying disappears.

It’s not a bad goal, but

it is incomplete,

especially when we

understand bullying

(dominance behavior)

as a natural part of

human interaction. It is

unlikely to disappear.

Secondly, promoting

kindness doesn’t give

the bullying victim any

tools. It teaches them

that they are

essentially passive

and at the mercy of

everyone else being

nice (or not).

Brooks outlined how to

respond after a kid has

been bullied, or treated

in any way that is

upsetting. First, show

empathy. Empathy can

unlock the “victim

mindset” and move a

kid toward problem-

solving. Because

resilience coaching

involves supporting

others as they face

difficulty, empathy is

essential. Without it

resilience coaching is,

as Brooks said, cruel.

Next, minimize the

importance of the event.

Use questions like “How

could this be worse?”

and “Why won’t this

matter in the future?” to

lower the importance of

the event and show

confidence in the child’s

ability to handle it.

Model the attitude for

the kid to adopt -

empathetic and

confident. Eventually

help the kid turn away

from the issue

altogether: “What else

could you do?” and let

It was started 7 years ago by people from Henry County who were concerned about mental health and thought that a grass roots approach could help. Since its launch, the HCMHA has successfully conducted activities in all areas of our mission. It has coordinated three mental health walks, sponsored a regional mental health conference, sponsored multiple suicide prevention trainings, brought in a mental health trainer who worked with local police departments, planned and put on a Community Education Series (3 separate events), and sponsors a Family Support Group and Peer to Peer group.

them choose another activity.

Finally, Brooks has distilled negative interactions into a small,

manageable number of possibilities. Anyone looking to upset

another kid is trying to: 1) bother them, 2) be funny, or 3) lash out

because of their own feelings of hurt. Understanding these

motivations leads to the right types of responses: 1) ignore and

be neutral to those trying to bother, 2) laugh with those trying to

be funny, 3) apologize to those feeling hurt.

This matrix is a great framework to memorize and draw from in

resilience coaching. You may teach it in it’s entirety or you may

use bits and pieces, tailoring what you share to the situation.

Remember to avoid lecturing and stick to the resilience principles

of letting the child own the problem and serving as a consultant.

And ensure that they feel in charge of their own choices and

responses to the situations they are experiencing.

MEMORANDUM

TO: CITY MANAGER, MAYOR, AND COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

RE: Proposed property tax levy

As requested, I have prepared the following documents for the proposed property tax levy for 2019 taxes payable in 2020. The purpose of this memo is to provide information for your review prior to action at the December 19th Council Meeting. State law requires us to file a tax levy with the County Clerk by the fourth Tuesday of December.

First, some background information.

UNDERSTANDING PROPERTY TAXES

A tax levy extension is the amount of dollars a taxing district — e.g., a city or village, school district, county, township — intends on collecting. The overall tax levy is comprised of smaller levies that go toward specific purposes.

Property tax bills are calculated by applying tax rates to the equalized assessed value of one’s property. What those rates are depend on how much the levy is and how much assessed value there is to tax (Tax levy = Tax Rate x Equalized Assessed Value).

Below are some definitions of terms you will see on your tax bill and how they apply to what you pay.

Fair cash value: The amount for which a property can be sold in the due course of business and trade, not under duress, between a willing buyer and a willing seller.

Assessed value: The value placed on property for tax purposes and the basis for determining what portion of the overall tax burden each property owner will bear. Assessed value is calculated at 1/3 of fair cash value. (Example: A home worth $150,000 on the open market would have an assessed value of $50,000.)

2

Equalization factor or multiplier: The equalization factor (sometimes called a multiplier) is the tool used to bring all property to a uniform level of assessment, either bringing values up or down if assessments are determined to be too high or low, whatever the case may be, from one taxing district to another.

Equalized assessed value: The equalized assessed value, or EAV, is the result of applying the state equalization factor to the assessed value of a parcel of property. Tax bills are calculated by multiplying the EAV (after any deductions) by the tax rate.

Exemption: The removal of property from the tax base. An exemption may only be a portion of the equalized assessed value, such as a homestead exemption, or for the complete amount of the equalized assessed value, such as a church building used exclusively for religious purposes.

Tax rate: The amount of tax due, stated in terms of a percentage of the tax base. (Example: $6.81 per $100 of equalized assessed valuation (equal to 6.81 percent). You can obtain this percentage by dividing the levy for a fund by the equalized assessed value for the taxing district. Some funds have a maximum statutory tax rate that may not be exceeded. The sum of the fund rates equals the total district rate.

Annually, the City Council establishes a dollar amount needed from the property tax extensions by the County Clerk. This amount is then aggregated with other taxing districts resulting in individual tax bills on individual property. The City should receive the majority of the money collected from this levy in June and September 2020.

Public Act 096-1495 requires Police and Fire Pension Funds to make annual contributions with a goal of attaining a 90% funding ratio by 2040. Eligible employees are required by law to contribute 9.91% and 9.455% of their base salary to the Police Pension Fund and Fire Pension Fund respectively. The City is required to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to fund the administrative costs and benefit payments of these funds as actuarially determined by an enrolled actuary. The City has financed its annual contributions to the pension funds with the property tax levy. In the past, the City has hired an independent actuary to calculate the annual required contribution. This calculation is specific to the fund and is based on the demographics of all retired and current employees. Integral to the calculations are assumptions regarding investment rate of return, salary increases, retirement age, employee turnover, mortality rates and disability probabilities. The actuary gives the City options based on achieving a 90% funding ratio (as required by state law) or a 100% funding ratio (as recommended by GFOA’s best practices). Last year the City was notified by our auditors that the actuary we had been using had been publicly reprimanded. It was later discovered that Mr. Sharpe’s membership in the American Academy of Actuaries had been suspended for a period of two years and he was unable to perform actuarial services. Due to the late notice, the City used the Department of Insurance’s actuarial valuation reports last year. This year the City sent out RFQ’s for actuarial services and the actuarial valuation reports were prepared by Nyhart.

3

The recommended property tax levy for the Fire Pension Fund and Police Pension Fund have been received from Nyhart. Historically the City has treated its pension fund levies very conservatively, and thus, they are the first to be funded by the City’s property tax levy. As these two obligations have consistently grown over the years, there is less and less property tax revenue available for general operating purposes. As a result of the City maintaining a static levy for property owners in recent years, both the percentage of the City’s operating budget attributed to property tax and the dollars available to general operations has drastically been reduced. This approach was aimed at providing stability to residents and businesses. However, this approach cannot continue and in deciding the appropriate property tax levy, the Council needs to consider balancing the needs of the community and those of City operations for all departments.

Fund 2018 levy 2019 levy Delta $ Delta % Fire Pension $593,645 $709,627 +$115,982 +19.5% Police Pension $688,331 $732,995 +$44,664 +6.5% IMRF $225,000 $225,000 +$0 +0.0% Social Security $230,000 $215,000 -$15,000 -6.5%

Next is a table showing the percent funded for Kewanee Fire Pension, Kewanee Police Pension and State-wide IMRF Funds. One can see since FY 2012 the Fire and Police Pension Funds have been decreasing in funding status despite respectable returns on investments. The only exception being IMRF, whose funding status has been fairly static or increased slightly each year until this year. The funding status for both the Fire and Police Pension Funds decreased again this year.

Year Fire Pension Percent Funded

Police Pension Percent Funded

IMRF Percent Funded

FY 2010 77.4% 71.8% 83.2% FY 2011 74.8% 75.8% 83.3% FY 2012 78.1% 76.1% 83.0% FY 2013 74.9% 74.6% 84.3% FY 2014 73.3% 74.0% 87.6% FY 2015 65.9% 67.7% 87.3% FY 2016 56.0% 57.1% 88.4% FY 2017 56.0% 59.7% 88.9% FY 2018 50.0% 54.0% 92.9% FY 2019 46.4% 52.0% 90.0%

The pension levies, (one could include the Social Security tax levy in the discussion too), shape the entire two million dollar non-bond property tax levy. With IMRF, the City has to contribute the specified amount, 11.84% of wages in calendar year 2020. In the case of Fire and Police, State of Illinois law requires a full levy as specified by an actuary. In Illinois, Fire and Police pension funding

has plagued many municipalities. The funding shortfall is a combination of lower than expected returns on investments, changes to pension provisions, greater frequency of disability pensions and other plan related factors. In addition, many municipalities fund an amount that is less than the actuarial required amount. Kewanee has historically funded its pensions at the actuarial requirement with property tax dollars. The combination of under-funding by many municipalities and the recessionary market losses against a 2033 amortization period posed a serious problem a few years ago. As a result, the State of Illinois passed Public Act 096-1495 to reset the amortization period to 2040 and establish 90% as the required funding target. These changes were designed to provide some relief, especially to municipalities such as Kewanee that honored the funding obligation. The best situation for any pension fund is to be fully funded, with 100% of accrued liabilities covered by assets because it means that the plan is doing a good job of maintaining intergenerational equity with current taxpayers appropriately paying the cost of current public employees’ benefits. There is no official industry standard or best practice for an acceptable funded ratio other than 100%. Undercharging current taxpayers only means a need for higher taxes later. In an attempt to force municipalities to appropriately fund pensions, the Act stipulates that any City that does not levy the full actuarial amount, the Legislature has given the pension boards the ability to apply to the State and have shared income tax or sales tax revenue diverted from the municipality to the pension board to make up for any shortfall in the levy. More information on the specific line item levies is shown in the line by line summary later in this memo. The table below shows the levy history, and what is proposed for tax year 2019 payable in 2020.

First step in preparation of the tax levy is the EAV projection from the Assessor’s office (Item A). There are seven property types that contribute to the EAV. Residential, commerical and industrial are the three statistically significant property types.

• Residential EAV increased $459,467, (+0.80%) to $57,930,560.

• Commerical EAV increased $1,013,686, (+4.63%) to $22,888,858.

• Industrial increased $47,253, ( +1.29%) to $3,700,813.

Adding in a (8.01%) increase in farm EAV and no change in State Railroad EAV, the total EAV is anticipated to increase $1,548,289 (1.83%) from $84,589,065 to $86,137,354. By percent of EAV: Residential parcels 67.3% Commercial 26.6% Industrial 4.3% Railroad 1.4% Farm 0.4% Please recall that these EAV figures are not final until the Henry County Property Tax Board of Appeals makes the books final in March of 2020. Please refer to Item B for a graphic depiction of EAV since the mid-1990’s. This is the fourth year in a row that the EAV has increased slightly. Item C shows the same information in a different format with year-to-year changes. The EAV increased 1.83% for 2019 payable in 2020. One hopes that a fourth year of increases is a sign of EAV starting to regain some of the value lost in the last decade. A declining EAV contributes to a higher property tax rate. The property tax levy amounts were intentionally set to keep the increased payment by the property owner to as little as possible. The aggregate levy of all taxes increased 4.18% from last year. Factoring in the increase in EAV, yields an increase in the property tax rate of 2.37%. With this being the proposed rate, it is well under the 5% threshold of the Truth in Taxation Act, thus a hearing will not be required and no special notice will have to be published. Based on the current EAV information for the 2019 tax levy, the estimated property tax rate per $100 for the City will be approximately $2.9971 or .06950 cents higher than the 2018 tax levy rate. Items labeled A through F are attached with details on the proposed property tax levy along with the actuarial valuation reports for the Fire & Police Pensions. The table below provides comments on the proposed levy for each of the specific line items in the levy. Please remember this is a draft, and can be changed before the December 19th Council meeting at which it will be an action item.

Levy Area 2018 Payable

2019 Amounts

Levy Request 2019 Payable

2020 Diff. from Last Yrs

001 Corporate 75,000 75,000 0

The Corporate levy is the only levy with no specified use. The Corporate levy goes into the General Fund. It has been intentionally unchanged this year to allow the needed increase in the Police & Fire Pension levies. Since about 75% of all pension obligations arise from employees paid from the GF, it is logical to keep this levy at the current level to offset the increases in the Police & Fire Pension levies. It results in a de facto transfer of funds from GF to the pension funds.


2019 Amounts



003 Bonds 304,240 302,957 -1,283

Ordinance 3982 was passed November 12, 2019 issuing the General Obligation Limited Tax Bonds, Series 2019 and for the levy of a direct annual tax to pay the principal and interest on said bonds. Unlike other GO bonds the City has in which the property taxes are abated annually, this bond leaves the property tax levy in place.

2019 Amounts



005 Retirement (IMRF) 225,000 225,000 0

The FY2019 estimated balance in the IMRF fund will be $70,719 or 30.66% when compared to annual expenses for FY2019 of $230,669. The Employer Contribution Rate will increase from 8.90% to 11.84% in 2020. The fund balance can be used this year to offset the rate increase without increasing the levy.

This is a levy that goes toward Fire Dept. expenses. The levy amount has been left at zero to allow for the 19.4% increase in pension funding needed. The maximum statutory levy is 20 cents per hundred EAV. This levy could be raised up to 30 cents per hundred EAV by a backdoor referendum. Up to maximum of 60 cents per hundred EAV by standard referendum.

2019 Amounts



023 Special Service Area 0 0 0 No levy as this downtown trees & planters levy expired several years ago.


2019 Amounts



025 Garbage Disposal 0 0 0

No levy again this year. Concerns were raised several years ago as to whether property tax should be used to defray Sanitation Fund expenses, since none of the commercial or industrial property owners are eligible for garbage collection. What this does is shift the costs from property owners to the rate payers for the Sanitation Fund.


2019 Amounts



027 Audit 35,000 10,000 -25,000

Levy has been decreased by $25,000 this year to allow for the needed increase in the Police & Fire Pension levies. In order to avoid a negative balance in Audit Fund, transfers will need to be made in the FY2021 budget from other funds to cover the difference between the levy and the actual costs.


2019 Amounts



035 Liability Insurance 227,000 210,000 -17,000

The levy has been decreased again this year to allow for the needed increase in the Police & Fire Pension levies. As a result, there will need to be more than $220,000 transferred in the FY2021 budget from other funds to cover the difference between the levy and actual costs. All of the fund balance was used last year to offset the $113,000 decrease in the 2018 levy. Transfers from other funds totaled $116,500 in the FY2020 budget. I recommend the transfers be apportioned across the funds related to departmental payroll costs again this year.

2019 Amounts



047 Social Security 230,000 215,000 -15,000

Drawdown of the fund balance will allow a slight decrease in the levy this year. An increase in the levy will be required next year in order to avoid a projected negative balance due to increasing expenses.


2019 Amounts



060 Unemployment Insurance 33,000 34,000 +1,000

Levy increased slightly to offset the expected increase in expenses due to the change in the minimum wage.


2019 Amounts



073 Chlorination of Sewage 0 0 0

No levy again this year. Concerns as to whether property tax should be used to defray Sewer Fund expenses or addressed as part of rate calculation for users of the Sewer system. What this does is shift the costs from property owners to the rate payers for the Sewer Fund.
