The spending plan being presented is a responsible and transparent financial plan that incorporates key policies and priorities established by the Mayor, Board of Trustees and Finance Commission. The Proposed Budget for 2022 expenditures totals $155,196,933, an increase of $17.7 million, or 12.8% from the amended 2021 Budget. The increase is primarily the result of increased investments in water and sewer projects including $6.9 million in Rand -Central - MP Road Intersection Improvements and $5.5 million in Emergency Water Interconnect.

The 2022 operating budget also includes $143,697 for any unknown contingency and will be spent subject to Village Board approval. The 5 -year Community Investment Plan includes CIP spending for the year 2022 totaling $45.6 million. The total CIP spending will be $12.0 million higher compared to 2021 amended budget. The total debt service payments for FY 2022 will be $8.7 million. During FY 2022, a total of $5.1 million will be repaid in outstanding principal debt, while the total interest payment will be $3.6 million. The current plan also includes the issuance of $10.0 million in new debt/bonds for the Water/Sewer fund per the approved 2017 rate study. The 2022 bond issuance will be the last of its current series and will help the Village in bringing the critical water system infrastructure replacement cycle from 600 years to 120 years. Increases of $500,000 in the TIF expenditures are for payments to be made per the existing redevelopment agreements and reduced revenue of $104,500 for the Business District Fund due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is resulting in lower interest payment on the business district note. The 2022 revenue budget totals at $154,130,092, an increase of $16,952,102 or 12.4 percent. The increase was primarily the result of increased intergovernmental revenues due to project grants. The 2022 budget includes various capital project grants totaling $15.5 million from the American Rescue Plan, Surface Transportation Program Grant (STP), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Grant (CMAQ), and other State Grants.

The official Village population increased from 54,167 in 2010 to 56,852. The State of Illinois distributes Income Tax, Motor -fuel Tax and State Use Tax on a per capita basis. The Village is expected to gain $300,000 in additional revenues in the above-mentioned per capita items. Recently, the Village has seen an unusual increase in the Income Tax and Use Tax revenues. The 2022 budget has also captured the growth in both of these revenue sources after confirming their stability in the 2020 and 2021 actual amounts. An increase to the combined water and sewer rate of 8.0 percent is also included in this Proposed Budget to fund an expanded water/sewer main replacement program. These increases are required in the 2017 water rate study and subsequently approved by ordinances. The plan also includes a 3.5 percent increase in the refuse rates. Through this budget, a new Storm Sewer Utility Fee is being introduced. The Storm Sewer Utility fee of $5.00 each month per customer will provide an approximate funding source of $1.0 million. This fee will be paid by all the residents and businesses of the Village, irrespective of the fact that if they are on the Village's current water and sewer system or not. The collected amount will provide much needed funding for storm sewer and flood control projects. Currently, the Village assigns one-quarter of one percent of the collected sales tax revenue to the Flood Control Fund, but the major part of this funding is tied to debt service payments until 2033. The remaining revenue sources are not significant and the Village has used $6.7 million from the General Fund reserves to fund critical flood control projects. The use of reserves for the flood control and storm sewer project is not sustainable in the long run and there is a severe need to establish a dedicated funding source. The General Fund operating expenses are budgeted at $59.1 million, an increase of $2.1 million from the amended 2021 budget of $57.0 million. Of the $2.1 million, $1.5 million is due to hiring of six firefighters, an additional Social Case Worker, and wage increases for both union and non-union employees. The remaining amount represents inflationary /market rate adjustments for supplies, contractual services and other items. The General Fund non-operating expenditures includes Community Investment Program items totaling $2.3 million and various transfers out totaling $7.78 million. The transfer out from the General Fund supports various capital projects for the year 2022. The transfer out also includes $5.0 million from the American Rescue Plan to the Capital Improvement Fund for qualified items. The financial position of the Village remains very strong. Reserve levels in recent times have continued to exceed our expectations as a result of revenue growth and responsible spending plans. Total available balances (excluding pensions) at December 31, 2021 are projected to be $61.9 million. Of this amount, $24.4 million are reserve balances in the General Fund, the Village's main operating budget. The General Fund reserves as a percent of 2022 expenditures is 35.0 percent. It is important to note that not all the fund balance is KI in liquid form. Some portion of the fund balance is occupied by the accounts receivables and it is not available immediately. At 35 percent of accounting fund balance, the Village normally have a cash balance, which may equate to 25% of the annual expenditures. The Village's fund balance policy calls for the General Fund to maintain a reserve level of between 20.0 and 30.0 percent. Strong reserves and annual budgets that are balanced are two factors contributing to the strong bond rating assigned to Village debt. The Community Investment Plan (CIP) for 2022-2026 totals at $151,978,841. Of this amount, $45,560,681 will be invested in 2022. CIP plan is posted on the Village's website along with the other budget items.
