14870/
HS 86400

• Selected the Lid Lift check box in the Highest Lawful Levy Limit dialog box*
• Chose Calculate Actual Levy in the Highest Lawful Levy Limit dialog box

In the Actual Levy Calculations Elements section of the Highest Lawful Levy Limit dialog box*, PACS is defaulting to a 1.01% increase on districts greater than 10,000 regardless of the percentage increase entered in the resolutions, as long as both resolutions are entered. It is correctly defaulting to the IPD when only one resolution is filed.

This occurred because the second resolution percentage was being used when both first and second resolution percentages were entered for a levy with a population greater than or equal to 10,000.

This has been corrected so that the first resolution percentage is used when the Calculate Actual Levy button is selected in the Highest Lawful Levy Limit dialog box.
