Why one Sycamore tax code lists nine public bodies

DeKalb County's SY07 tax-code detail shows nine separate governments and districts serving one representative property, each with its own authority, budget, meetings, and records.

Authority

Who makes the decision

An elected Board of Trustees governs College policy, institutional priorities, finances, contracts, programs, and presidential oversight.

Public money

How it is funded

The College has a district levy and also uses tuition, state and federal support, grants, fees, gifts, and other institutional revenues.

Meeting rhythm

When the public work happens

Regular meetings begin at 4:00 pm on the second Tuesday of each month in the Founders Board Room. The next listed regular meeting is August 11, 2026.

Responsibilities

What this body controls

Degree, certificate, workforce, transfer, and community programs
Tuition, student access, institutional policy, and strategic planning
Staffing, labor matters, contracts, budgets, and audits
College facilities and regional education partnerships

Records desk note

How this archive works

The College says meetings through March 2026 remain in BoardDocs while April 2026 forward use Diligent. Both systems matter until the migration is complete.
