Finance & Budget Committee recommends PPRT be applied to public safety pensions, forms subcommittee on investment rate and tables excess-reserve rule The Evanston Finance & Budget Committee voted Jan. 7 to recommend city council apply the maximum statutorily allowed Personal Property Replacement Tax (PPRT) to public safety pensions — reduced by 11.3% while the city’s potential library liability is unresolved — and formed a subcommittee to recommend the pension investment-rate assumption. A proposed policy on using excess reserves was tabled until February; members asked staff for detailed fund-balance reporting.

The Evanston Finance & Budget Committee is shaking things up by recommending a new approach to public safety pensions that could redefine the city's financial future!
