INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect, Illinois
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR, DAVID O. ERB
DATE: AUGUST 6, 2009
SUBJECT: 2009 MID-YEAR REVIEW AND UPDATE OF THE 2010 BUDGET
FORECAST
Each year, the Finance Department prepares for the Village Board and Finance
Commission a mid-year review of the financial status of the current year's budget and a
forecast for the upcoming year. The Finance Department also holds a joint workshop with
the Village Board and Finance Commission earlier in the year to present a first-quarter
review that includes a wrap-up of the prior year's activity and insight into early trends for the
current fiscal year. This practice provides a solid foundation for preparation of the
upcoming annual budget.
This memorandum is intended to supplement the June 30, 2009 Budget Revenue and
Expenditure Summaries that were submitted to the Commission and Board previously. The
principal focus of this memorandum is on the General Fund, since it is the main operating
fund of the Village. Also discussed to a lesser degree are a few of the more material
operating and capital project funds.
It should be pointed out that the current estimates of revenues and expenditures for 2009
are fluid and may change during the remaining six months of the fiscal year.
2009 MID-YEAR REVIEW
GENERAL FUND
The 2009 General Fund as approved by the Village Board in December 2008 totaled
$41,635,000. This was a balanced budget. The General Fund budget was amended in
April to account for carry-over items from the prior year's budget. Amendments to
revenues included reductions in the General Village property tax as well as the property tax
allocated to the Police and Fire Pension fund. Total revenues were adjusted downward by
$175,000 bringing total General Fund revenues to $41,460,000. Adjustments to General
Fund expenses were made in various areas totaling $319,900 bringing total General Fund
expenditures to $41,954,900. After these changes, the amended budget now reflects a
deficit of $494,900.
Mid-Year Budget Review
August 6, 2009
Page 2
As part of the mid-year review, we looked at all revenue and expenditure accounts to
determine if any material variances were likely. We now expect total General Fund
revenues to come in at $39,970,000. This is a decrease of $1,490,000 under the amended
budget. Noticing a decline in overall revenues due to the slowing economy, staff was
asked to identify $491 ,000 in budget cuts in their General Fund budget as an interim step to
dealing with the anticipated shortfall. After taking into consideration these budget cuts, total
expenditures are now estimated to come in at $41,463,209. The projected deficit at the
end of 2009 is $1,493,209. Exhibit 1 presents a summary of our current projections of
revenues and expenditures, with a comparison to the amended budget.
General Fund Revenues:
General Fund revenues at June 30,2009 were $15,570,676. This accounts for 37.6% of
the amended budget. Being below 50% at mid-year itself should not be a concern as
receipt of several significant revenue sources by the Village lag one to three months.
These revenue sources include sales tax, income tax, utility taxes and other
intergovernmental revenues.

Revenue Type
The preceding chart illustrates the percent of revenues received by the Village in several
categories as of June 30th. The current year-end estimate for revenues is under 3.6%
below the amended budget.
Property tax revenues (for both the general and pension allocation) of $4,953,349 are
running at 46.6% of budget. This is typical in that the first allotment of property taxes
received is an estimate based on the prior year receipts while the second allotment, which
comes in later in the year, captures the levy increase approved in the current tax year. Our

year-end estimate falls below the amended budget amount by 1.3%. The Village is
beginning to experience a higher than usual number of refunds from current year taxes for
residential and commercial property tax appeals. As a result, the percent of property taxes
received as compared to the levy extension was lowered from 98% to 97%.
Revenues classified as "Other Taxes" include such sources as the one-quarter cent home
rule sales tax, food and beverage tax, real estate transfer tax, hotel/motel tax,
telecommunications tax and the electric and gas utility taxes. In total, revenue collections
from "Other Taxes" came to $2,265,471 as of June 30th, which is 29.8% of annual budget.
Again, this is a category where there is a lag in receipt of two of the more significant
revenues (home-rule sales tax and telecommunications tax).
The Village's home rule sales tax is running 19.8% below budget through the first three
months of the year. The drop in the home rule sales tax is the result of a slowing economy
and the closing of the Walmart store for six months for a complete remodel and expansion
of their retail store. Receipts from this revenue for the balance of the year (August-
December) are expected to improve with the store's reopening. It is now expected that the
home rule sales tax will come in 13.7% below budget for the year.
The telecommunication tax is expected to come in above budget by $266,000 while other
utility taxes (gas and electric) will fall short of budget by $207,000. By year-end, we expect
to fall short of the budgeted amount for other taxes by $462,500.
Collections from licenses and permit fees are at $2,216,158, or 58.7% of the $3.8 million
budget. Vehicle license revenue of $1 ,223,634 is at 87.1 % of budget, which is expected
given the timing for selling the 2009/2010 vehicle sticker. Activity for this revenue is coming
in slightly higher than expected. As a result of this and other positive activity with building
permits, revenue from licenses and permits is showing an increase from the budgeted
amount of $38,000 for this revenue category.
Intergovernmental revenues totaled $4,890,653 as of June 30th, which is 30.1 % of the
$16.3 million annual budget. Intergovernmental revenues in the General Fund include the
local share of the state sales tax, state income tax, use tax, replacement tax and other
miscellaneous state and federal grants.
Sales tax collections, which make up approximately 57% of the "Intergovernmental"
category, are at $1 ,964,837. The current budget forecast for sales tax is $9,430,000. Our
year-to-date collections are running 15% below the same period last year. Like the home
rule sales tax, the state portion is being negatively impacted by the slowed economy and
closing of Walmart for remodel and expansion. Walmart, which reopened August 5, will
give our sales tax a much needed boost. Our year end projections have sales taxes falling
6.3% from the prior year rather than the budgeted 7%. Based on the updated forecast I
have increased the estimate by $111,000 for 2009. I will continue to closely monitor this
revenue through the end of the year for any significant changes.

Receipts from the State's distribution of the state income tax totaled $2,342,741 at June
30th. This represents a decrease of 13.7% from the prior year. The per capita estimate for
this revenue has originally been anticipated at $96.40. It is now expected to come in at just
$89.00. Currently we are expecting $416,000 under what was projected for 2009.
Revenue from Fines totaled $209,984 for the first six months. This represents 30% of the
$699,000 budgeted for the year. We expect this revenue to come in $58,000 below budget
for 2009. Circuit court fines lag the 50% benchmark at June 30th as there is a two-month
delay in receiving this money from Cook County. Investment income totaled just $43,228
for the first six months, representing 10.8% of the $402,000 projected for the year.
Significantly lower rates paid for short-term investments are causing this shortfall. The
budget anticipated an earnings rate on surplus fund of 3.5%. Actual earnings are closer to
0.40%. Other Revenue, consisting of reimbursements and other revenues, totaled
$222,646 as of June 30th. This is 43.5% of the $512,000 budgeted forthe year. We expect
these revenues to fall short of our projections by $37,000 for 2009.
General Fund Expenditures:
The amended 2009 budget totals $41,463,209. As of June 30th the Village had recorded
expenditures of $18,968,706. This represents 45.2% of budget and is consistent with
previous years. Most of the departments are at or near the benchmark 50%. Only Public
Representation and TV Services deviate significantly from the benchmark. The following
chart illustrates General Fund expenditures as a percentage of annual budget at June 30.

Public Representation expenditures totaled $82,807 through June 30th, representing
60.3% of budget. This budget is typically above the 50% benchmark as organizational
memberships are paid in the beginning of the year.

Expenditures for Television Services are at 51.3% of their total budget for the year. The
timing of some commodities and supplies purchases as well as contractual work caused
the year to date spending to be higher than the 50% benchmark.
For the past several years, total General Fund expenditures have come in anywhere from
one to three percent under budget. Although we see no reason at this point to believe
2009 will be any different, to be conservative we have only reflected the amount of cuts
identified by departments in the total for General Fund expenditures. The chart below
shows budget to actual expenditures since 2004. A 1 % savings in expenditures for 2009
reduces the estimated deficit by over $400,000.

Additional discussion on several other operating and capital funds worth noting include
the Capital Improvement Fund, Street Improvement Fund, and Water and Sewer Fund.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND
The Capital Improvement Fund now has a dedicated revenue source (home rule sales tax)
to support ongoing capital projects. In budgeting for 2009, several projects that had been
deferred due to insufficient funds were reconsidered along with new projects. For the next
4 years, it was estimated that $1 million of this new revenue would go to support capital
projects with the remainder going towards rebuilding fund balance. It is now projected that
just $800,000 will be available in 2009 due to the drop in the home rule sales tax. The one-
quarter percent home rule tax was originally budgeted to generate $1,250,000 annually.
Due to slowing of the economy the home rule tax is expected to fall short of budget by
$196,000. A shortfall in the home rule tax has required projects of lower priority to be
deferred until the following year.
STREET IMPROVEMENT CONSTRUCTION FUND
This fund was created to account for the 1997 revenue enhancements that are earmarked
for the street improvement program. Revenues of $1,530,000 were projected for 2009.
Revenues actually received as of June 30th total $334,891, or 21.9% of budget. The entire
amount of the one-quarter cent home rule sales tax earmarked for street improvement will
be allocated to the street improvement construction fund. Up until 2005, a portion of the tax
had been used to payoff debt service for street construction bonds. A total of $2,856,600
has been budgeted for street resurfacing and reconstruction. As of June 30th $655,337, or
23.0%, has been expended. The balance of the street resurfacing program will be
completed during the second half of the year. Like the projects planned for the capital

Mid-Year Budget Review

improvement fund, the street program has been scaled back to a level that can be
supported by the current revenue stream.
WATER AND SEWER FUND
Revenues through June 30th total $4,850,053, representing 38.8% of the $12.5 million
budget. This is typical, as water consumption increases during the summer months. In
addition, there is a two-month lag for residential billing and one-month lag for commercial
properties. A milder than expected summer has reduced water sales, but strong reserves
in this fund will be alble to handle the shortfall in the near term so no planned work is
impacted.
The amended budget for the Water and Sewer Fund for 2009 is $12.5 million. After six
months, actual expenditures have totaled $3,710,666, or 29.6% of budget. Expenditures
appear to be low because of capital improvements planned for later in the year. There are
no material variances in expenditures expected between now and the end of the year.
2010 FORECAST
The 2009 Annual Budget included a forecast budget for the year 2010 for each operating
and capital project fund. The purpose of this portion of this memorandum is to bring
forward any material variances in revenues/expenditures now expected for the year 2010.
GENERAL FUND
Exhibit 2 has been prepared to compare the original forecast numbers to our most recent
estimates. The original forecast budget showed an operating deficit of $628,635 on
revenues of $42,392,500 and expenditures totaling $43,021,135. Our more recent
estimates now show that the deficit has increased to $2,022,135. A drop in state income
tax, investment income and other economy driven revenues account for the additional
shortfall. Revenues are now projected to come in at $40,938,000, $1,454,500 lower than
the original forecast budget.
General Fund Revenues:
State Income Tax receipts are expected to come in below the original 2010 forecast by
$521,000. This is based on the per capita share used for estimating this revenue falling
from $99.28 to $90.00. Income taxes could be a drag on the budget in the next couple
years as these revenues tend to lag behind the actual economic recovery.
Investment income was reduced by $370,000 for 2010 due to lower returns on invested
surplus funds. The 2010 forecast originally anticipated returns of 4.5%. Returns on the
surplus funds are now estimated to be just 1.5%.
The forecast for Utility Taxes for gas and electric have been lowered $221,000, from
$2,124,000 to $1 ,903,000 based on the reduced estimate for 2009. We did anticipate a 3%

growth to these revenues in 2010. In spite of the anticipated growth, there was still a 10%
decline from the original forecast.
As mentioned earlier, the Village is beginning to experience a higher than usual number of
refunds from current year taxes for residential and commercial property tax appeals. As a
result, the percent of Property Taxes received as compared to the levy extension was
lowered from 98% to 97%. Property tax receipts have been lowered from the original 201 0
forecast by $143,000 as a result of this change.
General Fund Expenditures:
Except for the adjustment made to Police and Fire contributions due to the lowering of the
property tax estimate, we assumed expenditures to remain consistent with the original
forecast. The deficit as it stands will be addressed during the budget process set for later
this fall. Directives have already gone out to the departments on the level of spending
expected for 2010 that will work to lower the 2010 forecast deficit.
BUDGET CALENDAR
Attached as Exhibit 3 is the 2010 budget calendar as presented in the current 2009 budget
document. We will anticipate moving forward with the 2010 budget process according to
this calendar. If this schedule presents any conflicts, please notify me so we could revise it
accordingly.
Additional background information on the 2009 budget and 2010 forecast will be provided
to the Board at the August 11 Committee of the Whole meeting. Please contact me if you
have any questions prior to the meeting.

Mid-Year Review - 2009
Exhibit 1
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois
General Fund - Revenues and Expenditures
2009 Mid-Year Review
Notes
A Property taxes are being impacted by residential and commercial assessment appeals. Prior year appeals
are deducted from current year taxes due to the timing of when the appeals case is settled. We have lowered
estimated receipts for property taxes in future years from 98% to 97% based on this new trend.
B Although the 1 % state portion sales tax shows an increase from budget, receipts are actually anticipated to
drop 6.3% from the prior year due to the slowing economy.
C The home rule sales tax is expected to drop 13.8% from the prior year. This is a greater percent drop than for
the state portion sales tax as the home rule tax is not applicable to food, drugs or titled vehicles.
D The housing slump continues to be a drag on this revenue source. Activity in both the commercial and
residential sectors have been impacted by the housing market and tight credit.
E The telecommunication tax has been volatile over the past couple years since the State of Illinois has taken
over the responsibility for collecting and distributing this tax. The original 2009 budget was a conservative
estimate based on the uncertainty of the flow of tax receipts. We continue to monitor this revenue source.
F The other utility taxes consist of the gross receipts gas and electric tax and the gas use tax. Each are
showing a drop from prior year through the first five months of 2009. The mild summer will likely continue to
impact the receipt of these taxes moving forward.
G State income taxes are having the largest impact to the General Fund revenues in 2009. The original budget
was based on Illinois Municipal League estimates of $96.40 per capita. The revised estimate is now $89.00.
This is a drop of 7.7%. The IML last updated the per capita income tax figure in April 2009.
H Other intergovernmental revenues include the use tax and personal property replacement tax. The Illinois
Municipal League estimate for both of these have been lowered from the original projection made in late 2008.
The second largest impact to General Fund revenues comes from declines in interest income receipts. It was
estimated that the Village would earn 3.5% on reserves invested in short-term CD's and money market funds.
In 2009, the Village is earning just 0.4%. The rate of return is not expected to improve much by year's end.
J Departments have identified over $491,000 in cuts from their 2009 budget based on year end projections made
earlier this year. These were based on a decline in General Fund revenue. Since that time, revenues have
fallen further resulting in the current budget deficit.
K The total deficit for 2009 is projected to be $1.49 million. Of this amount, $998,000 is due to current year
adjustments to revenues and expenditures. Prior year carry-overs of $495,000 account for the balance of the
deficit. The carry-over amount is a planned drawdown on fund balance for items carried over from the prior
year.

Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois
General Fund - Revenues and Expenditures
2010 Forecast
Notes
A Prior year property taxes were reduced based on credits being given on property tax appeals. Estimated
receipts were lowered from 98% to 97% of the levy extension amount.
S Projection anticipates an improving housing and commercial market in 2010, but still falling below the
original estimate for 2010 by 19.0%.
C Projection based on 2009 estimate. No growth anticipated in 2010.
D Projection based on 2009 estimate. 3.0% growth from prior year results in 10.4% decrease in the forecast.
E Estimate the per capita tax to be $90.00, up from the projected 2009 amount of $89.00. This is an increase
of 1 % from the prior year, but still a 9.3% decrease in the forecast.
F Estimate that earnings on general Village reserves will increase from 0.4% to 1.5% for 2010. The 2010
forecast anticipated returns of 4.5%.
G Contributions to the Police and Fire pension funds are based on property tax receipts expected during the
year. Since the prior year property taxes were reduced for the Police and Fire pension by $31,000 and
$30,000 respectively, an equal amount was reduced from the contribution expense.
H Typically annual savings from the annual budget range from 1-2%. To be conservative, no assumption were
made for the 2010 forecast except for Police and Fire pension contributions. If the Village were to come in
1.5% below budget, there would be a savings of $645,000.
It is expected that this deficit will be addressed through adjustments made during the 2010 budget review
process
