There are certain state taxes, such as sales tax, home -rule sales tax, and a few other taxes, that will be received by the Village in February 2021 and beyond. Additionally during the month of January 2021, the Village received the following revenues from the State, which relates to a period prior to January 2021. These amounts are distributed after the State administrative fee deductions of $8,192.

The amount represent 3.0 percent of the annual budget. January is the first month of our fiscal year and the majority of the revenue to be recognized in January 2021 will become available in later periods. Property Taxes: - The Village's total levy for the year is $19,469,004. The total property tax revenue budget, including TIF revenues, is $20.6 million. The first installment is due at the County in March 2021 and the Village is expected to receive payments from County in March 2021. 3 Other Taxes: - The category of Other Taxes includes all the taxes enacted per the local ordinances and includes Home -rule Sales Tax, Hotel/Motel, Food and Beverage, Municipal Motor Fuel Tax, Utility taxes, etc. As some of these taxes are collected by the State, there is a three month lag between the actual sales and the remittance of the tax. Also, all the local economic activites for the month of January are reported in February. Hence, no major revenues are reported in January so far. Payments received in January 2021 belong to the year 2020 and are not reflected in the above revenue numbers. Intergovernmental Revenue: - This category includes all the State shared taxes, including State Sales Tax, Income Tax, Use Tax, Motor Fuel Tax, and Grants. It is too early to receive these revenues or the data associated with these revenue sources. The Village is vigilantly tracking all the intergovernmental revenues. Recently, the LGDF (Local Government Distributive Fund) and the Local Use Tax has performed beyond the Village's expectation. Both of these items are distributed as per capita items. In spite of COVID-19, the State Income Tax collection has outperformed previous years' collections and Local Use Tax has outperformed due to increased online sales. Per the available recent news items, the State might use the LGDF allocation to offset some of it's deficit. Though the Village has seen an annual payment of $5.8 million in income tax (LGDF) revenues, the Village Administration has kept 2021 budget at $5.25 million. These conservative efforts are expected to serve the Village in the longrun in building a sustainable fiscal health. License & Permits: - The Village has collected $296,932 in License & Permit Fees in January 2021. The amount represents 9.7 percent of the annual budgeted amount. Charges for Services: - The Village has received $2.9 million in Charges for Services. As expected, the amount represents 8.0 percent of the annual budgeted revenue under this category and mainly represets the Village Water, Sewer and Refuse revenues. Other Categories: - All other revenue categories have collectively generated $ 231,583 during January 2021. c) Expenses The below data recaps the expenses incurred during the months of January 2021. , iii a re e t t hili o,n IIIA a ii 7 v°2.7 7 2�7 7 .II ®. 2.0 Vli e d iiiii n iii �� ii stllrat,Ji on 4� 7061 663 215��p 25,61 2;.11 p 2561 4.61% Illir liiii n a n c e 2,, 2, 1, 348, 70,90G, 70;9,061 3.2% 40 n u n linty' De4lop,mentll'7 7 .II G, 679 .I .I R 79 2.9 n Se rvli ce sII !,,p 2.2.2.,E 08, 67,9j"98 67,9ji,98 ® 64 SIO Illi o iiiii e 2.0 ,5131)19 )9 73 88II 7 W86W 78, 7110 lF liiii re I1 18,49"9,48,7 .7.11 8,77 7.1 ,177 80 P a iiia or �IIv 61182.A BVI- 7 .II 72. .II A 644, .II v v .II 72. 2.® i N o,n _ D e p,a rt m e nt 23; ' VI II .II VI p .II 72, .II .II 72. 6.611° riia n Tota rVl VI rI r� ° iii IIV I 3 2 I .ff The above amounts do not include the expenditures for the Pension Funds as they are separate entities.

The overtime costs for January 2021 are $73,250, while the overtime costs at the same time last year was $100,666. Services: - This category covers the majority of the contractual services that include some large line items, including JAWA water purchase, budgeted and grant -funded engineering studies, and other contracts. The year to date expenditure is $3.1 million, and the Village has spent 9.0 percent of the budgeted amount during January 2021. Supplies: - The Village has spent $144,977 in supplies during January 2021. The spending totals approximately 6.3 percent of the approved budget. Capital Improvements: - The Village has $27.9 million in approved capital improvement projects for the year 2021. The majority of these projects are expected to start in Spring -2021. During January 2021, the Village has undertaken some of the approved projects but no major payments were made in January 2021. Debt Service: - Per the established debt service schedules, the Village's bond payments are due on June 1 and December 1. The Village will be making these Debt Service payments in May 2021 and November 2021. Until then, this category is not expected to report any major expenditues. Other Expenditure: - The Other Expenditure category includes interfund transfers. These transfers are expected to be executed during the second quarter 2021. d) Fund Balance Analysis: The fund balance is an essential tool to check the fiscal health of any governmental organization. The below data summarizes the Village's monthly unassigned/unrestricted General fund reserves. The balance starting January 1, 2020, is unaudited.

The pertaining data is expected to become available in March 2021. At the beginning of the year 2020, the Village was carrying $18.1 million in unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, while the unrestricted reserve balance was $18.0 million. The unencumbered cash balance is the actual Cash Balance reduced by outstanding Accounts Payable at the end of the month. The gap between the Unassigned Fund Balance and the unencumbered cash balance narrows as the year progresses. The ending unrestricted reserve balance for 2020 is expected to increase once the accrual adjustments are posted. The ending unencumbered cash balance is not expected to change, even after the accruals adjustments. The Village experienced the loss of revenues due to the COVID-19 and it is impacting the Fund Balance. To reduce the impact of the COVID-19 on the Fund Balance, the Village leadership team implemented the contingency plan in place. This Contingency Plan defines the steps, including deferral of capital projects, suspension of internal vehicle lease payments, instituting a freeze or reduction in commodities, contractual services & supplies, review of programs and services provided as well as a staffing analysis. The Village had frozen and postponed certain operational and capital items in 2020. The strong and healthy fiscal sustainability and strong local economic activities (in spite of pandemic) resulted in a lower level of revenue losses than expected and has allowed the Village to resume some of the suspended Vehicle Lease Payments as defined and implemented per the Contingency Plan. The below data shows the sales tax shortfall tracking due to the COVID-19. Currently, the Village has already experienced a loss of $1,668,993 in sales taxes (State sales tax + home -rule sales tax) and is expected to experience an additional loss of $68,093 for December 2020. However, a few outperforming revenues including Income Tax and Use Tax will reduce the impact of the Sales Tax shortfall. Through December 2020, the Village collected $5,886,270 in income tax revenue, which represents 112.1 percent of the annual budgeted amount. The Village also collected $2,254,976 in use taxes, which represents 150 percent of the annual budget as well as 25.4 percent growth over the 2019 collection. The outperforming collection through December 2020 is reducing the overall loss experienced by the other revenue categories. The initial loss estimate was $5.6 million, which was reduced to $4.9 million in July. The loss is further revised in early December to $3.2 million. The final revenue loss amount is expected to be finalized in April 2021.

Conclusion The Village is hopeful for a return to normalcy by mid -2021. The Village has several challenges to face due to COVID-19 and the deficit at the State level, which may result in lower State shared revenues. At the same time, added grant opportunities from the Federal Government and other agencies provides a support that will allow the Village to provide additional services and capital asset improvements. The Village has seen an abnormal growth with some of the revenue streams. While, the same growth cannot be expected for all the upcoming years, the changing e-commerce provides additional opportunities as well as threats to the existing business environment. The Village is in strong fiscal health and the staff is trying all the strategies at it's discretion to preserve and improve the fiscal sustainability to provide long-term support at a reasonable rate of governmental services for the residents and businesses.
