IV. FUND BALANCE POLICY DISCUSSION
During the 1999 Mid-Year Budget Review, staff had recommended that the General Fund Balance
Policy be amended to provide a 25% reserve level instead of the existing 16.5%. The rationale for the
recommendation was based on the Village's dependency on Sales Tax and Income Tax for funding
General Fund operafions. It was noted during the discussion that if an economic down turn should
occur, the General Fund reserves would help insulate the Village from significant revenue increases
to maintain current service levels. The Village Board approved a Resolution at the September 7, 1999
Village Board meeting to gradually increase the Fund balance to 25% with Budget surpluses which
may be realized at the conclusion of each fiscal year.
Mayor Farley and several Board members had requested this policy be reconsidered and discussed
as a separate item apart from the Budget discussions from last year in an effort to fully discuss the
implications of the increase in reserve levels.
Finance Director Doug EIIsworth will be present to facilitate the discussion concerning this Policy.
V. FUTURE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE DISCUSSION ITEMS
Over the past several years, the Village Manager=s office has attempted to better manage the flow Of
information, which comes to the Village Board through the Committee of the Whole agendas. As you
know, Committee of the Whole meetings are designed specifically to allow for more extensive
discussion of pending policy, finances, Code changes and various ~tems of community interest. The
Committee of the Whole also serves as a forum for discussion of items which are unexpected,
controversial or of an emergency nature.

Generally speaking, Committee of the Whole meetings consist of anywhere from two to four set items
which have been researched by staff and are presented for discussion and preliminary decision-
making purposes. Included in the regular Committee of the Whole agendas are such things as
discussion of the Capital Improvement Program, Mid-Year Budget review and the annual Budget
Hearings. Another segment of discussion items are staff generated and have to deal with policy,
project or fiscal issues which require Board direction. Finally, over the course of each year, individual
Trustees put forward issues and items for discussion.
Again, this year, staff would like to discuss and receive direction on a list of potential items for
Committee of the Whole agendas. It should be recognized from the outset that this is not an all-
inclusive list and that items, both staff and Board generated, will come up dudng the course of the year.
However, for purposes of managing staff time and putting limited resources to work in the most
efficient manner, we would like to review, discuss and prioritize potential Committee of the Whole
Agenda items. The evening--s discussion will consist of reviewing suggested topics, discussing briefly
the rationale and need for discussion and the potential timing for bringing such items forward.
Board members were asked to provide any suggested topics that they would like to have considered.
These are included in the accompanying package. In the past, the Village Board has engaged in a
polling process which identifies any subjects which do not have the support of the Board for research
and review. Appropriate staffwill be available to answer questions and facilitate discussion.

IV. 2000 BUDGET DISCUSSION
Public Works Department
Public Works Director Glen Andler provided a general overview of the Public Works
Department Budget including 1999 accomplishments and Departmental responsibilities. He
highlighted the installation of the jogging trails at Melas Park, the Maple/Berkshire Flood Control
Project and the Central Road improvements among other items. He stated that his budget
includes a 1.6% increase over 1999 for fiscal year 2000. Some of the items included in the
2000 Budget are a pump repair program and a water main replacement increase due to the
proposed construction on Route 83. He stated refuse discussions are underway with the
current refuse hauler. Depending on the discussions, the staff there may be a need to come
back to the Village Board early next year for discussions regarding an alternative waste hauler.
He also highlighted the fact the Budget includes a $200,000 Budget reduction due to a
reconfiguration of the capacity of the Opus ponds. He stated Phase 2 for the Weller Creek
improvements is expected to commence in 2000. The proposed expenditure for street light
improvements are, again, primarily due to the construction along Route 83. There have been
some Grants received for street light expenses but the Grants do not cover the entire
expenditure. The Village has also been the beneficiary of Grants for Weller Creek
improvements and additional sidewalks.
During 1999, the Public Works Department resurfaced 14.6 miles of street and reconstructed
8.4 miles to date as part of the accelerated street program. As part of the Budget for 2000, he
is requesting that funds be transferred from the Vehicle Replacement account for a
underutilized trencher and these funds be added to the sale proceeds from the sale of the
trencher to purchase an additional pool vehicle.
He stated that a comprehensive review of the Plan review process was drafted during the 1999
Budget. With that report came a recommendation that two additional staff members be added;
one in Community Development and one in Public Works to assist in processing plans. In
1999, one of the positions was filled with the addition of a staff member called a Plans Examiner
in the Building Division. For the fiscal year 2000 Budget, Public Works is requesting the
addition of the staff member for the Engineering Division to assist in the plan review process as
justified during 1999. He is also requesting the addition of an electrician/maintenance employee
due to the increased demands placed on the employees in Public Works and the additional
duties that regularly fall to the Public Works Department. He stated that service demands and
responses are based on available staff and many projects are deferred including preventive
maintenance which causes additional taxing of available resources.
General comments from the Village Board members included the following items:
Generally, performance measures showed the Village is more efficient and very Iow in staffing
in comparison with other communities. However, this position may not directly transfer to better
operations due to numerous deferments. There were questions regarding the use of the
proposed replacement and the previous uses. Comments were also made regarding the
responsiveness to justification requests for replacement of vehicles.
Village Manager Janonis highlighted the fact that the study of the Opus retention ponds
allowed the Village to free up funds for other purposes by utilizing existing space within the
ponds, however, there will be a need to dredge the ponds next year to make the storage of
water more efficient.
Non-Departmental Expenditures
Finance Director Doug EIIsworth provided a general overview of the Community and Civic
Services Budget which showed an increase of .5%. He also reviewed the Capital
Improvements Budget. He highlighted the Debt Service Fund and stated that as of January 1,
2000 the outstanding debt that the Village is carrying will be approximately $31 million. The
Village has enjoyed the utilization of a variety of debt repayment resources. He stated the
speed and variety of sources utilized for retiring debt is acknowledged by bond rating agencies.
He stated the fiscal year 2000 Budget will include $2.1 million in General Obligation Bonds for
flood control related projects. He highlighted the pension expenses and stated there have been
substantial increases due to recent retirements. The Risk Management Fund shows an
increase primarily based on the increase in Workers' Comp expenses. He stated the Library
Levy has been presented and a budget increase of 2% is proposed while the Levy amount is
decreased .15%. The Library Levy is included as part of the Village Property Tax Levy and is
required by law.
General comments from V~llage Board members included the following items:
A comment was made regarding the ongoing study of whether the Library could conceivably be
a separate taxing district without being a part of the Village Levy.
Village Manager Janonis stated that that analysis is still under review. He also stated there
are numerous outstanding open items for which he is requesting Village Board direction.
Police overtime for Route 83 construction has been recommended to be part of the General
Fund through utilizing existing Fund balance or reserves.
Consensus of the Village Board was to support utilization of General Fund balance to
cover the $'100,000 projected for the expense of this project.
2
Special Events Commission. The Special Events Commission previously withdrew the
$10,000 funding request and they recently requested $5,000 for Sounds of the Season. This
has no impact on fiscal year 1999 due to the money coming from items that were budgeted for
but not e)q3ended in the 1999. While there is a need to account for all costs of each
Commission as the Board had previously recommended, there is a need also for the Finance
Department to account for revenue and expenditures related to Special Events Commission
activities. He is recommending a new line item be established in the amount of $30,000 for
Special Events Commission in the Community and Civic Services of the Budget. The $30,000
amount would be offset by projected revenue related to Sounds of the Season activities.
Consensus of the Village Board was to add the line item with the $30,000 established
expecting offsetting revenue.
Youth Commission budqet. It was recommended that $2,000 be set up for Youth
Commission activities and be included in the Community and Civic Services section of the
Budget.
Consensus of the Village Board was to support this recommendation.
Sister Cities Committee is requesting a Budget of $6,000 be established in 2000 and be
included in the Community and Civic Services section of the Budget.
Consensus of the Village Board was to support this recommendation.
Sin~Jle-Famil¥ Exterior Property Maintenance Proqram. This item has been sent for
discussion at the Committee of the Whole meeting on December 14, however, it is expected
that this program would cost $58,633 the first year of operation.
General comments from the Village Board members included the following items:
There was general concern that extensive discussion regarding this policy change and
philosophical approach would need to be completed before inclusion in the Budget. There was
also concern that this may not be a problem and the Village Board does not need to try to fix
something that is not broken. There were also comments regarding inclusion in the 2000
Budget but depending on how the study comes out, the Village Board would still have the option
to either include it in 2000 or 2001; whatever the desire but the amount being reserved in the
Budget does not necessarily require expenditure.
Document Imaqin,q System Maintenance Cost. The Village Board approved the increase in
the Computer Maintenance account within the MIS Division by $4,500 on November 16. This
additional amount would be added to the existing maintenance cost that had been budgeted for
the system to cover the annual maintenance as outlined in the RFP.
General consensus of the Village Board was to support this change in the Computer
Maintenance Account.
Security Cameras at the Train Station. This item arese during discussion at the November 9
Committee of the Whole meeting. The estimated cost is approximately $25,000 and could be
funded either through the Capital Imprevement Fund or the Parking Revenue Fund.
General consensus of the Village Board was to discuss this during the December 14
Committee of the Whole meeting to determine whether this is a project that should be
funded for 2000.
Opus Pond Maintenance. The Public Works Department has withdrawn its request for funds
for Opus Pond maintenance for fiscal year 2000 and 200t; therefore, there is $200,000 now
appearing in the 2000 Capital Improvement Fund which will not likely be expended.
General consensus of the Village Board was to support this recommendation.
Carry-over t 999 Proiects
Staff has identified several projects that were budgeted for in 1999 that will need to be carried
over into the 2000 Budget. The total cost of these carryovers amounts to $820,498. Funds for
these items will need to come from Fund balance since monies were properly budgeted for in
1999 and went unspent.
General consensus of the Village Board was to approve the carryovers as documented
by staff.
Route 83 Streetscape Enhancement. There was discussion at the November 9 Committee of
the Whole meeting about including some funds for enhancing the streetscape improvements
along the reconstruction project. Staff feels that there are adequate funds existing in the
proposed Budget to cover such expenses without additional monies.
General consensus of the Village Board was to support this recommendation.
Fund Balance Policy. At the October 26 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Mayor
recommended the Viitage's fund balance policy be amended again to return to the General
Fund reserve level to 16.5%. A Resolution was passed on September 7, 1999 that increased
the General fund reserve goal from 16.5% to 25%. The Finance Commission originally
supported the increase in revenues but recently decided on a split vote to recommend returning
to 16.5%.
Village Manager Janonis again reminded the Village Board that the Fund balance policy
increase from 16.5% to 25% would occur over time and would be utilized primarily for the
fluctuations in revenue without drastic increases or changes to the revenue needs for operation
purposes. Based on projections for the Fund balance going into the. next fiscal year, it is
anticipated that the fund balance would be approximately 16.7% of 2001 projected
expenditures. Therefore, whether the reserve policy were 16.5% or 25%, the proposed budget
for 2001 would really not change.
General consensus of the Village Board was to revisit the discussion regarding fund
balance during calendar year 2000 for final determination regarding the fund balance
policy for the Village.
John Kern, Chairman of the Finance Commission, provided recommendations from the
Finance Commission. He stated the Commission supports the addition of a project engineer to
assist in the plants of permit processing. The Commission also supports the addition of the
electrical/maintenance personnel. He stated the Commission supports the retention of the
balance of 16.5% fund balance. He stated the Commission would like additional information
regarding the Single-Family Exterior Home Inspection Program to allow for and discuss this
information once it becomes available. The Commission would also like additional information
regarding the Route 83 Enhanced Streetscape Program and what impact these expenses may
have on the overall Budget.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
A comment was made that this Budget was relatively easy compared to previous budgets and
the past tough decisions that were made by the Village Board. There were also comments
regarding the benefits that this Board is providing to future generations due to conservative
fiscal management.

. ANY OTHER BUSINESS
Village Manager Janonis wanted to thank the Village Board for their support of staff during the
Budget process and appreciated the strong working relationship between the staff and the
Village Board. He stated the Finance Commission continues to provide valuable input during
the Budget process.
Trustee Hoefert stated that the Village has been preparing for Y2K as evidenced by numerous
updates provided by the Village Manager and would request a summary of those activities in
the near future. He also stated that he has some concerns regarding the appearance of the
landscaping at the third Clocktower building.
Community Development Director William Cooney stated that Village staff is aware of a
number of issues regarding the landscaping at the third Clocktower building and has prepared a
letter requesting some modifications to the landscaping and to discuss possible solutions
Finance Director Doug EIIsworth reminded the Village Board and viewing audience that a
Public Hearing regarding the Property Tax Levy is scheduled for December 7 and the final
approval of the Budget is expected on December 21.

VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL .IANONIS, VII~I,AGE MANAGER
FROM: DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
DATE: .IANUARY 3, 2000
SUBJECT: FUND BALANCE POLICY
PURPOSE:
To present information regarding the Village's fund balance policy.
BACKGROUND:
On September 7, 1999 the Village Board adopted Resolution No. 43-99 establishing a fund halance/reserve
policy for the Village of Mount Prospect. The policy increased the targeted fund balance level of the
General Fund from 16.5% to 25%.
DISCUSSION:
The reasons for staff recommending a gradual increase to the General Fund reserves were laid out in my
memorandum of August 31, 1999 (copy attached). Following is some additional information that the Board
might find useful in further debate of this matter.
Financial Implications of 25% verses 16.$% Resen, e Level
Basically, a 25% reserve level provides for a cushion equal to three months of operating expenditures. A
16.5% reserve level provides for a two-month cushion.
In terms of real dollars, a fund bal~tnce of 25% of 2000 operating expenditures would be $6,463,812. A
16.5% reserve level would be $4,2156,116. Therefore, the difference between a 25% reserve level and a
16.5% reserve level would be $2,197,696.
While a reserve level of $6,463,812 might seem high, it must be viewed within the context ora $26 million
annual budget in the General Fund.
Financial Repercussions ora Mild Recession
You asked that I estimate what a mild recession would do to us in the way of loss of revenue. The Village's
General Fund currently receives approximately $7 million per year in sales tax, $450,000 per year in food
and beverage tax, and $663,000 per year in real estate transfer tax proceeds. These tax receipts total
$8,113,000. If we experience a five percent reduction in these taxes due to a recession, General Fund
revenues would drop $405,650.
und Balance Policy Memorandum
January 3, 2000
Page Two
In order to make up for the loss of revenue, the Village would have to make significant budget cuts or raise
other revenues. It would be difficult to cut $406,000 from the budget without seriously impacting the level
of service the Village provides. Ifwe wereto raise other revenue sources, it most likely would be the
property tax levy. To raise $406,000 in additional property taxes we would need to increase our tax levy by
almost 4%. Keep in mind that in the past we have needed to raise our tax levy by 3% to 4% to balance the
budget. This means that the total tax increase would be in the 7% to 8% range.
At a 3.5% growth rate~ the General Fund needs approximately $910,000 of"new money" each year to
balance the budget. Furthermore, in order to maintain a constant fund balance level we need to end each
fiscal year with an operating surplus. At a 16.5% fund balance level, the operating surplus needs to be
$150,000. At a 25% reserve level, the oper~ing surplus needs to be $226,000.
Profected Fund Balance Levels
Preliminary estimates are showing that the General Fund will end 1999 with a fund balance of $5.1 million.
Of this amount, $460,000 is being transferred to the Capital Improvements Fund as part of the 2000 Budget.
The remaining $4.6 million represents 17.8% of FY2000 operat'mg expenditures.
The recently approved FY2000 Budget is showing revenues of $26,315,250 and expenditures of $26,868,836
(including the $460,000 equity transfer) for the General Fund. The General Fund fund balance at December
31, 2000 would therefore come in at $4.5 million: This represents 16.6% of the FY2001 Forecast Budget.
It should be noted that the actual fund balance for 12/31/99 could increase by several hundred thousand
dollars. We will not know the final figure until after all accrued revenues and accounts payable are
determined and recorded.
Updated Fund Balance Surve~
Attached hereto is a memorandum that summarizes a recent survey of General Fund fund balance policies
that was conducted by the Northwest Municipal Conference. As can be seen, the fund balance policies of the
twenty-two reporting communities range from a loTM of 10% to a high of 100%, with the majority of
communities reporting a policy of 25%.
It should be pointed out, however, that for many of the communities, the percentage shown is a minimum
reserve level and not amax/mum reserve level. Des Haines has a policy of maintaining a minimum fund
balance of 10%. Actual fund balance in the Des Haines General Fund is currently 20%. Lake Forest has a
minimum fund balance level of 15%, but their current fund balance is at 30%.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Village Board retain the current fund balance policy.

annual operating surpluses will be retained, with any operating surplus exceeding $400,000
being transferred to the Capital Improvements Fund.
2.2 Once the desired fund balance/reserves level has been attained, any excess reserves or future
annual operating surpluses will be used to reduce property taxes or user charges, whichever is
appropriate for that fund. In the case of the General Fund, any future annual operating

accordance with current State law and sound actuarial calculations.
4.0 Use of Fund Balance/Reserves
4.1 Fund balance and reserves are to be used or depleted in the following situations:
(1) Revenue shortfalls result in an operating deficit.
(2) Unforeseen material expenditures arise which cannot be avoided or delayed. Any

O) Excess fund balance/reserves exist and the Village intentionally draws down on the
balance to come into compliance with this policy.
Adopted by the Board of Trustees by Resolution No. 43-99 on September 7, 1999.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael E. Sanonis, Village Manager
FROM: Douglas R. Ellsworth, Director of Finance
DATE: August 31, 1999
SUBJECT: I~JND BAL&NCE POLICY
PURPOSE:
To bring forth for Board consideration a revised fiscal policy on fund balance/reserves.
BACKGROUND:
The Village's current policy is to maintain a General Fund fund balance level equal to 16.5% of
current year's expenditures. Of the 16.5%, 1.5% is desig~.ated for emergencies and
contingencies.
The Village's policy is to maintain fund balance levels equal to the next semi-annual interest
payment for debt retired with property taxes. For debt retired with tax increment revenues and
the home-role sales tax receipts,'the policy is to maintain fund balance equal to one-half the'
current year's principal and interest payments.
DISCUSSION:
During the 1999 Mid-year review, staff recommended that the General Fund fund balance policy
be amended to provide for a 2~% reserve level. It was further recommended that this be
accomplished gradually, usin~ a portion of any future operating surpluses. It was not
recommended that taxes be increased to provide for a larger fund balance. ,
The recommendation was made to increase fund balance due to the V'fllage's great dependency
on sales tax and income tax for funding General Fund operations. Sales tax receipts account for
27% of revenues. Income tax receipts account for another 15% of revenues. A downturn in the
economy could have a serious impact on General Fund revenues, resulting in difficulty providing
existing service levels. Moody's Investors Service has pointed this out in its past several credit
reports on the Village.

A twenty-five percent reserve level for the General Fund is common fiscal policy. A recent
survey of fifteen surrounding communities found that all but one has a policy of twenty-five
percent or more. The average actual fund balance of the fifteen communities is over 50°A. All of
the communities have a higher bond rating than the Village of Mount Prospect.
The Board of Trustees at the August 10°' Committee of the Whole supported the concept of
increasing the General Fund fund balance policy to 25%. The Board concurred with the
recommendation that the first $400,000 of any future General Fund operating surpluses be
retained in fund balance, with any remainder being transferred to the Capital Improvements
Fund.
Accompanying this memorandum is a draft resolution and written fund balance/reserve policy.
thought it would be appropriate to have a formal written policy approved by resolution.
As the following table shows, the Village is relatively close to the fund balance levels set forth in
the policy.

und Balance Policy
August 31, 1999
Page Three
The December 31, 1998 fund balance figure shown above for the General Fund has been reduced
by $1.3 milliOn, reflecting the equity transfers apprOved as part of the 1999 Budget. Assuming
we continue to see a positive budget variance with revenues and expenditures, the General Fund
should be up to the 25% reserve level within three or four years.
The Refuse Fund is showing an excess fund balance of $378,000. As part of the 2000 budget
process, staff will be recommending the refuse levy remain constant until the fund balance
reduced to the desired level.
The excess fund balance showing in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund will be depleted over the next few
years as part of the budget process.
For those debt service funds retired with property taxes, there is a $223,234 excess. Staff intends
on recommending an abatement of the levies for the next few years until the desired fund balance
level is attained. For those debt service funds funded with T~ revenues or the home rule sales
tax, the relatively minor fund balance deficits do not present a major concern, as the bond issues
are retiring relatively soon.
The Parking Fund is showing a very large fund equity position, compared to the policy
guidelines. A large part of the existing fund balance should be earmarked for future parking lot
reconstruction. Therefore, the benchmark fund balance level will increase accordingly.
The shortfall in fund balance in the Vehicle Replacement Fund has been resolved with the equity
transfer from the General Fund in 1999. This fund is fully funded now.
The Police and Fireflghter Pension Funds are currently under-funded. Future tax levies will be
adjusted based upon sound~actuarial principles to achieve fully-funded status.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board adopt the proposed fund balance/reserve policy as presented.
