Introduction to Township Officials
Introduction to Township Officials Iowa residents living in rural areas outside of incorporated cities rely on their local township government to provide vital functions such as fire protection. Townships are also responsible for public cemeteries and resolving fence disputes. In addition, townships may choose to provide other services such as emergency medical service, township halls, parks, libraries, community centers, and playgrounds. The township trustees and township clerk are the locally elected officials who are responsible for seeing that these services are delivered effectively and economically. Their job is important and they represent the heart of local government for township residents. Yet many trustees and clerks assume their jobs with little or no training and experience. A Brief History of Township Government in Iowa The township as an institution of American local government had its beginnings in colonial New England. At that time, counties were subordinate to townships. In 1834, when Iowa was part of the Territory of Michigan, townships became an important factor in local affairs. During that time, counties and townships encompassed the same geographic area and the early responsibilities between them were often confusing. When Iowa became a state in 1848 there was considerable debate about the relationship between townships and counties. The first Iowa legislative assembly charged county commissioners with dividing counties into townships "as early as practicable." A civil township (one with election and revenue duties) was defined as 36 square miles. During this period the township was the preeminent source of government contact for the people as county government was not yet in place. By the late 1800s township trustees were responsible for property tax assessment, tax collection, schools, cemeteries, drainage districts, bridge construction, and animal disease control.

Plaintiff's Motion for a Preliminary Injunction
IN THE 12TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT WILL COUNTY, ILLINOIS HOMER TOWNSHIP, et al., ) ) Plaintiffs, ) v. ) 2020 CH 808 ) VILLAGE OF HOMER GLEN, ) an Illinois municipal corporation, the ) HOMER TOWNSHIP ROAD ) DISTRICT, an Illinois special district, ) MIKE DE VIVO, in his official capacity ) as Homer Township Road District ) Highway Commissioner, ) ) Defendants. ) PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION The Plaintiffs, by and through their attorneys Ancel Glink, P.C., move for a Preliminary Injunction against the Village of Homer Glen (“Village”), Homer Township Road District (“Road District”) and Mike DeVivo (“DeVIvo”) (the Village, Road District an DeVivo are collectively, the “Defendants”). In support thereof, the Plaintiffs state as follows: I. INTRODUCTION The Defendant Village of Homer Glen (“the Village”) and the Defendant Homer Township Highway Commissioner, Michael DeVivo (“DeVivo”) made a deal that DeVivo will essentially “gift” the Road District’s assets to the Village so that the Village can have a public works building, equipment and property without having to levy taxes on Homer Glen residents to create one. In exchange, the Village would employ DeVivo, so he would not have to seek reelection as Highway Commissioner and risk losing. While there are many ways that Illinois local governments can engage in intergovernmental cooperation, simply dissolving a road district by giving to another governmental body, with complete disregard of the fact that the assets being transferred were paid 1 for, in part, by taxpayers other than residents of Homer Glen, is not one of them. Further, there is a way that the Road District may be legally dissolved, but the Village and Road District are not following the statutory procedure to do so because it requires voter approval that they know will not be forthcoming.

Recent Legislative Changes to Mill Levy Maximums (845.0 KB Pdf)
19.9203.01000 Prepared for the Government Administration Committee RECENT LEGISLATIVE CHANGES TO MILL LEVY MAXIMUMS This memorandum provides information regarding recent legislative changes to mill levy maximums. The July 2017 schedule of levy limitations, prepared by the Tax Department, is attached as an appendix. Senate Bill No. 2144, as approved by the 2015 Legislative Assembly, combined various levies for counties, cities, townships, and other political subdivisions and repealed unnecessary or consolidated levy provisions. The bill consolidated multiple levies into a combined levy for county general fund purposes and city general fund purposes. The county general fund levy is limited to a rate not exceeding 60 mills per dollar of taxable valuation of property and the city general fund levy is limited to a rate not exceeding 105 mills. For cities and counties that levied more than these amounts for taxable year 2015, a transitional period is provided to allow counties and cities to phase down to the new limits. The bill structured the phasedown to allow cities and counties to levy the same number of mills in taxable year 2016 as the county or city levied in 2015. For taxable year 2017 counties and cities could levy up to the statutory amount plus 75 percent of the amount of the 2015 levy exceeding the statutory limit. For taxable year 2018 the allowable amount is reduced to the statutory amount plus 50 percent of the amount of the 2015 levy exceeding the statutory limit, and for taxable year 2019 the amount allowed in excess of the statutory limit is further reduced to 25 percent of the amount of the 2015 levy exceeding the statutory limit.

Township Governance in Iowa ISSUE
ISSUE REVIEW Fiscal Services Division January 5, 2017 Township Governance in Iowa ISSUE This Issue Review provides an overview of township governance in Iowa, including township structure, the roles of trustees and clerks, the relationship between counties and townships, and statewide statistics on township revenue and expenditures for the past 10 years. AFFECTED AGENCIES Local Government Entities Department of Management CODE AUTHORITY Iowa Code chapters 359, 359A, and 360 DEFINITION OF TOWNSHIPS A township is a division of local government in the United States. The term may also be used to refer to a geographic subdivision of a county. For purposes of this Issue Review, the term “township” will be used to refer to both the geographic area and the local government. Townships in Iowa are classified as administrative subdivisions of the counties. For that reason, the U.S. Census Bureau does not count Iowa’s townships as separate governments and does not list Iowa among the states that have a civil township form of government.1 Today, there are 1,586 townships in Iowa. Many townships are instrumental in providing fire protection, emergency medical services, and other services to unincorporated areas. HISTORY OF TOWNSHIPS IN IOWA In the United States, the township form of local government originated in New England in the 17th Century, and it remains in nearly its original form in many parts of that region. As local government expanded westward and counties were established, township structure took one of two forms. In one form, the county was subordinate to the township. In the second form, the roles were reversed and the township was subordinate to the county.
