Recommendation of Action
Staff recommends discussion.
This report summarizes the financial performance of the 2016 Buffalo Grove (BG) Days event. All
departmental costs incurred by the village to support this event are excluded from this report and
absorbed in each department's budget. The Village does not charge back overhead costs for staff,
facilities, insurance, and other indirect event expenditures. This financial report captures the direct costs
associated with the event.
Total revenue reported for 2016 is $127,161, up $9,519 from 2015. The 8.09 percent revenue increase is
largely due to Carnival Sales being up by $10,394 from 2015, a 13.29 percent increase. Expenditures
reported for 2016 are $152,271, a slight increase of $109 from 2015. Due to safety considerations and
fire risk, fireworks were omitted in 2016. An expenditure of $21,500 in 2015, these funds were allocated
to entertainment which was up $15,693, or 44.02 percent from 2015. A new 2016 expenditure category
was added to report - the $3,337 in site preparation work needed for the event's new location. The net
cost for the 2016 Buffalo Grove Days fest was $25,110 which is down $9,409 from 2015.

RE: Buffalo Grove Days Financial Report
This report summarizes the financial performance of the 2016 Buffalo Grove (BG) Days event. All
2016 revenues and expenses can be found on pages two through four of this report. A comparative
analysis of 2015 versus 2016 is provided on page five. This table provides additional amounts for
2015 that were submitted after the compilation of the 2015 BG Days Financial Report. All
departmental costs incurred by the village to support this event are excluded from this report and
absorbed in each department's budget. The Village does not charge back overhead costs for staff,
facilities, insurance, and other indirect event expenditures. This financial report captures the direct
costs associated with the event. It is important to note that the revenues and expenditures reported
here should be considered final. Any submissions made after the date of this report will be reflected
in the 2017 BG Days Financial Report.
The Village maintains adequate procedural controls throughout the duration of the festival. The BG
Days Committee is responsible for maintaining and approving expenditures that are less than $500
per instance. Expenditures exceeding $500 must get authorization from the Finance Department,
including the staff liaisons to the BG Days committee. In addition to those responsibilities the
Finance Department also audits the carnival tickets sold. The ticket numbers to be sold are reviewed
and approved four weeks prior to the festival. The Finance staff spot checks the carnival ticket booths
throughout each day of the fest to ensure that tickets being sold are from the approved serial number
listing.
Total revenue reported for 2016 is $127,161 up $9,519 from 2015. The 8.09 percent revenue
increase is largely due to Carnival Sales being up by $10,394 from 2015, a 13.29 percent increase.
Expenditures reported for 2016 are $152,271, a slight increase of $109 from 2015. Due to safety
considerations and fire risk, fireworks were omitted in 2016. An expenditure of $21,500 in 2015,
these funds were allocated to entertainment which was up $15,693, or 44.02 percent from 2015. A
new 2016 expenditure category was added to report the $3,337 in site preparation work needed for
the event's new location. The net cost for the 2016 Buffalo Grove Days fest was $25,110 which is
down $9,409 from 2015.

The Illinois Legislature allows municipalities to determine the boundaries of their communities and the
rate at which development will take place. Several hundred acres of unincorporated land are dispersed
in various locations within and adjacent to the Village of Buffalo Grove. These unincorporated
properties are potential opportunities to expand our service areas and bolster the Village's tax base.
Some of the unincorporated areas have been designated to the future jurisdiction of Lincolnshire or
Buffalo Grove via a Boundary and Planning Agreement adopted in 2005, while others are not bound by
any agreements.
This report presents the background and methods of annexation as well as identification of fourteen
distinct areas located in the Village's statutory planning boundary (see table below). The report also
provides a description of the respective properties (i.e., property acreage, current land uses, current
County zoning, subject to any boundary agreement, Comprehensive Plan designation, utilities, and
current estimated population) as well as recommended actions.

Annexation is the extension of municipal boundaries into adjacent unincorporated areas and the
corresponding expansion of city services to those newly incorporated areas. In Illinois, municipal
governments have the authority to determine and expand their boundaries, subject to the provisions of
the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code). Annexations in Illinois are governed by
the following process:
• In most cases, municipalities have no obligation to annex land and provide municipal services
without the owner of the property agreeing to annex to the municipality.
• Illinois annexation process requires the land to be contiguous to the municipality at the time of
annexation. Contiguity requires physical touching for at least 300 feet to the municipality,
although smaller lots can be annexed if they are contiguous.
• Municipalities may enter into annexation agreements with the property owners with targeted
performance standards and schedules.
In most cases, annexation can be accomplished with an annexation agreement with the property owner
or through a pre -annexation agreement for non-contiguous properties. Typically, annexations have been
driven by the need for properties to receive Village utilities. It has been the policy of the Village not to
provide utilities to properties outside our jurisdictional boundaries without annexation and/or an
agreement.
Methods ot'ituanexation
The following are the most commonly used methods for annexing land to municipalities.
Voluntary: The owners of the land, with or without electors, may file a written petition with the
municipality requesting annexation. If there are electors, at least 51% of the electors may file
the petition, in addition to the owners of record. "Electors" means persons qualified to vote for
elective officers at municipal elections.
By Court Action: When not all of the owners of the land agree to the annexation, a majority of
the owners and a majority of the electors, if any, may file a petition with the circuit court clerk
of the county requesting annexation.
Involuntary: Land containing 60 acres or less may be annexed without consent of property
owners if it is wholly bounded by one or more municipalities, or in several other permitted
configurations.
The Village of Buffalo Grove has jurisdictional priority for the fourteen distinct areas presented in this
report. Areas that are subject to the boundary agreement with the Village of Lincolnshire have been
identified.

The following are some key considerations in the annexation decision -making process.
• Comprehensive Plan designation about the future land use, and type and nature of
development.
• Any special conditions unique to the area
• Access to Village utilities
• Contiguity to key parcels
• Subdivision Ordinance requirements
• Traffic improvements
• Environmental consideration- wetlands, solid waste and floodplain
• Where market forces drive the annexation and redevelopment process, the Village should enter
into annexation agreements prior to the annexation of the land
l�"c(iiiumm.)uumtliii : ommig. IlF�iscsll Illfteneiits
The following are typical economic and fiscal benefits of annexation of unincorporated areas to a
municipality, although a detailed economic analysis should be conducted before annexing specific
properties.
• Increased municipal tax base (MFT and Income) and bonding authority
• Economies of scale may reduce the cost of service delivery
• Increased population may boost municipal ability for grants and other state and federal
revenues
• Property values in the annexed area may increase
• May reduce fire insurance rates and/or utility surcharges
• Property maintenance/code enforcement

On May 16, 2005, the Village of Buffalo grove entered into a boundary and planning agreement with the
Village of Lincolnshire to ensure the future planning and development of these areas would be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plans of both communities.
The specific parcels subject to this agreement are depicted on the Area 1, Area 6, and Area 7 maps.
Based on this agreement, the Village of Buffalo Grove parcels encompass approximately 190 acres of
unincorporated land. In addition, there is a provision in the agreement to disconnect a 37-acre parcel,
as depicted on Area 6 map, from Lincolnshire and annexed to Buffalo Grove, as this parcel would be
better served under Buffalo Grove's zoning, planning, and municipal services.
Mief:hom10l.og7 for IlllEsfliim Tales IIII mmllllmm:mllllc no m.
For purposes of this report, staff provided an estimate of the current population for each annexation
area based on the Village's 2012 estimated population divided by the number of households. As a
result, the number of persons per household was estimated at 2.567. By multiplying this value by the
number of housing units in each annexation area, staff was able to estimate the population of each
annexation area that contained residential properties.

This area centered around the Prairie View Metra station is transitioning from a sub -urban zone to a
general urban zone. The current business services located at the intersection of Prairie Road/Half Day
Road (scrap metals, nursery) are ripe for future redevelopment. The current pattern of single family
detached /attached homes are expected to continue. Utilities and roadway improvements are lacking
and may require significant investment.

As identified in the 2016 Economic Development Strategic Plan, the Prairie View area should be the
focus of a future sub -area study to identify the highest and best uses. This updated sub -area plan
should build upon the recommendations of the 2007 Transit Area Plan, which was not formally adopted
by the Village. It is important to note that the summary of future land uses identified in the current
comprehensive plan may change as a result of this updated sub -area plan.
Stancliff and adiacent properties on east side of Prairie Road
The current Comprehensive Plan calls for the 40-acre Stancliff property to be single family detached at a
density of approximately 2 units/acre. This density is identified as part of the 200S Boundary Agreement
with the Village of Lincolnshire. The remaining parcels adjacent to the existing Noah's landing
development are identified for single-family attached housing with a compatible density and
architectural design as Noah's landing.
Prairie View, north of Route 22, west of Main Street
The current Comprehensive Plan identifies this area for a mix of uses. Areas closest to the Metra Station
and directly abutting Main Street and Route 22 are shown to be mixed -use developments with retail and
service uses occupying ground floor building spaces, and residential units above. The Village's Transit
Station Area Study (2007) provides some urban design concepts for Prairie View. The surrounding areas
adjacent to the existing single-family homes are identified as both single family detached and attached
housing, utilizing the existing street network. The Village should explore more dense housing types
(small lots single family and townhomes) as properties become available for redevelopment.

Southeast corner of Prairie Road/Half Day Road OL Route 22)
The current Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as a mix of uses with commercial along the Route
22 frontage and single family attached homes to the south. Access to the site would be provided on
Prairie Road at the intersection of Willow Parkway but it should also be connected to the subdivision to
the south (Villas of Chestnut Ridge).
i:tecoiiii°ymi° meui°idea°i Action
As previously noted in the 2016 Economic Development Strategic Plan, the Prairie View area should be
the focus of a future sub -area study to identify the highest and best uses. This updated sub -area plan
should build upon the recommendations of the 2007 Transit Area Plan. As market forces may drive the
redevelopment process, any future annexations should be tied to development or redevelopment
proposals with the associated annexation agreements.
As utilities and roadway improvements are lacking and require significant investment, the Village should
consider exploring the use of Special Service Areas as an incentive to encourage annexation.
Annexations of individual parcels with single-family residences without a redevelopment plan should be
reviewed on a case -by -case basis.

The Comprehensive Plan designates the area on the north side of Aptakisic Road east of Buffalo Grove
Road for both residential and commercial uses. A new planned residential community called Link
Crossing is currently being proposed for the 50-acre parcel north of the future commercial area. The
proposed subdivision will feature three distinct single-family home types including townhomes, row
homes, and detached homes and have a density of approximately 4-4.5 units/acre. The remaining
portion of the property to the south (Didier Farm) is identified for commercial purposes based on
continuation or modification of the current nursery and farm produce business. While the
Comprehensive Plan calls for this to be a "heritage" commercial use (museum or education center),
future commercial development will be contingent on market demands and requires further analysis.
Ac,flouri
The Village should continue to pursue the annexation and development of the 50-acre parcel north of
the Didier Farm (Link Farm). To ensure that the type and nature of redevelopment activity in this area
meets the desired goals of the Village, annexation of large tracts of land should occur as part of a
development or redevelopment plan with the associated annexation agreement. Future development
should include connections to Aptakisic Road. Furthermore, as future roadway improvements occur,
such as the Prairie/Weiland Connector, future land uses may change.
Annexations of smaller individual parcels with single-family residences without a redevelopment plan
should be reviewed on a case -by -case basis. Staff has already been in discussions with a property owner
along Prairie Road who is interested in annexing their parcel to connect to Village utilities.

properties will be affected by acquisition of right—of—way for the Weiland —Prairie connector. In the
event the pet care facility ceases operation, the Comprehensive Plan recommends redevelopment for
mix -used including commercial and residential uses compatible with the Mirielle subdivision and the
Arlyd Road neighborhood.
For areas east of Pet Lane, commercial development is identified and access is to be coordinated with
the Weiland Road —Prairie Road connector. While market forces will determine the type of commercial
uses, these uses should focus on neighborhood retail and service businesses.
Recoilni°r°ms~"uiaded Action
The Village should continue to pursue annexation options for this area by working with property owners
educating them on the benefits to annexing. Annexations should be done by means of an annexation
agreement. As utilities and roadway improvements are lacking and require significant investment, the
Village should consider exploring the use of Special Service Areas as an incentive to encourage
annexation. Annexations of individual parcels with single-family residences without a redevelopment
plan should be reviewed on a case -by -case basis.

Aptakisic Road/Industrial Drive
Currently, all the industrial properties located to the west of Industrial Drive, east of the railroad tracks
are within the Village of Lincolnshire. Pursuant to the 2005 Boundary and Planning Agreement, both
communities agreed that the properties currently within Lincolnshire are better serviced by Buffalo
Grove. Furthermore, the agreement states that these properties should be disconnected from
Lincolnshire and annexed into Buffalo Grove. The primary purpose of the annexation to Buffalo Grove is
to manage the future redevelopment of these properties within Buffalo Grove's jurisdiction and to
expand upon the Aptakisic Creek Corporate Center, an industrial development to the immediate east of
the Industrial Drive properties.
All the properties in this area should be redeveloped with new industrial facilities, including combined
office and warehouse uses. Primary access would be provided by the Industrial Drive connection to
Aptakisic Road. Realignment of Industrial Drive with the signalized intersection at Bond Street on the
north side of Aptakisic Road should be implemented as part of the overall redevelopment plan.
Weiland Road north of Abbott Court
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for commercial. The plan also notes that any new
commercial shall be properly planned to minimize impacts to adjacent residential.
ll'ieci:miiurneurided Actii,oi°°i
Over the years, staff has been engaged in discussions with the property owners east of the railroad
tracks to discuss the process of disconnection from Lincolnshire and annexation into Buffalo Grove. The
Village should undertake further planning and fiscal analysis prior to taking action on this area. Many of
the existing property uses are non -conforming and would not be consistent with current Village Code.
Therefore, separate annexation agreements should be pursued. For the remaining property east of the
railroad tracks, the Village should pursue options for annexation by means of an annexation agreement.

The parcel furthest to the north and west is a one —acre residential property at 20922 IL Route 83. The
Comprehensive Plan identifies the parcel for single family that is consistent with the Insignia Point
subdivision. Access is to be provided by Farrington Court.
The two -acre parcel to the east adjoins the Lexington Hills and Winchester Estates subdivisions. The
Plan designates this area for residential development, six units per acre, based on assembly of the two
parcels into a single development site.
Illtecoiryruirsmeirnded Actiiioin
As market forces may drive the redevelopment process, any future annexations should be tied to
development or redevelopment proposals with the associated annexation agreements. Annexations of
individual parcels with single-family residences without a redevelopment plan should be reviewed on a
case -by -case basis.

annexation of this area should not be a high priority. The Village should explore contracting its municipal

While the Comprehensive Plan calls for the majority of the area to remain as single family residential, it
is possible to rezone properties closer to Milwaukee Avenue to create a larger, more functional
commercial area that would complement the Berenesa Plaza property, including road and pedestrian
connections.
Actiiioir°n III'iequested
Since the remainder of this area is already developed as single-family residences, large-scale
redevelopment is not likely to occur in the near future and annexation would likely only occur based on
the need for Village utilities. Any future annexation priorities within the area should focus upon the
properties with frontage on or in close proximity to Milwaukee Avenue. Additionally, the residential lots
adjoining commercial properties may be consolidated with those commercial lots in order to create
parcels of sufficient depth for viable commercial redevelopment. Annexation of the residential
properties within Pekara should be considered in the context of whether the annexations establish
contiguity to other redevelopment parcels. Furthermore, since the area will require significant roadway
and drainage improvements, future annexation of the residential area should be reviewed more closely
to better understand both fiscal and service level impacts. The Village should also explore contracting its
municipal services to Lake County for efficiency.

The Plan contemplates annexation of all the commercial properties, including possible redevelopment of
the properties on the east side of Milwaukee Avenue as a unified commercial site with shared access.
Connection of North Riverwalk Drive to Milwaukee Avenue to achieve a signalized intersection at
Johnson Drive is a key element of the Village's planning for this area.
Actiiioiri III'"egswi!msted
The Village recently approved the annexation and redevelopment of the former PJ's Restaurant and
McDonalds property on the west side of Milwaukee Avenue. With the expansion of the Village's
municipal boundaries, the annexation of parcels directly abutting Milwaukee Avenue should be a high
priority. The Village should consider all options to encourage annexation by means of an agreement.

Act'iiioin IIRequested
The Village has engaged in discussions with property owners in these subdivisions concerning
annexation. At the time, property owners generally were not supportive of annexation. When
redevelopment and annexation is proposed, the Village should implement plans for improved
stormwater management and provision of Village water and sanitary sewer service with the costs to be
assigned to property owners/developers. Since the remainder of this area is already developed as
single-family residences, large-scale redevelopment is not likely to occur in the near future. Given the
lack of roadway improvements and the fact that these properties are already improved as single-family

........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Recommendation of Action
Staff recommends discussion.
At the September 12th Committee of the Whole Meeting, staff presented an initial tax levy request of
$16,640,940. The basis for that recommendation is included below. Based upon the desire to reduce the
tax levy impact of debt service payments for street improvements (Series 2016 Bonds), staff is proposing
a tentative abatement of $650,000. The ability to provide the abatement is a result of reducing the scope
of capital programs in 2017 rather than a transfer of planned budget surplus.
The impact of the abatement will result in an ultimate tax levy request of $15,594,223 or an increase of
2.64 percent over the current year?s tax extension less abatement. The current year?s tax abatement
was $208,000.

The next step in the tax levy cycle will be the Truth -in -Tax determination. The determination will be
presented on November 7t". The tax levy will be presented for approval on December 51i,
concurrently with the adoption of the FY 2017 Budget.
Initial Levy Presented September l.. ti
The current year's initial levy (2015 Tax Levy) was $15,400,848 and was an increase of 3.21 percent
from the previous year's levy request. The components of the change were;
Levy Purpose (2015) Increase/(Decrease)
Corporate Levy 4.0%
Special Purpose/IMRF (2.3%)
Public Safety Pensions 4.1%
Debt Service 0.3%
The initial levy request (prior to abatement consideration) is $16,640,940 or an 8.05 percent
increase. The components of the change are;
Levy Purpose (2016) Increase/(Decrease)
Corporate Levy 3.0%
Special Purpose/IMRF 2.5%
Public Safety Pensions 1.9%
Debt Service 106.9%*
The purpose of this preliminary report is to present the levy in it's entirety including the full debt
service amount (principal and interest) prior to tax abatement consideration. This will not be the final
levy presented on December 51". For the FY 2017 Budget the following levy requests are presented.
Historically the amounts requested to support the core functions of government are based on
inflationary growth values published by American City & County as the Municipal Cost Index (MCI).
This index is then added to the previous year's levy request. The MCI is a blended index that factors
for the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index, and other relevant inflationary indices applied to
how municipalities traditionally acquire goods and services. For the year ending July, 2016, the cost
index is .8 percent.
In order to maintain the same levels of service; staff requests an additional 2.2 percent to help
balance the budget in the General Fund. In conjunction with the property tax increase, departmental
budeets will be reviewed for expenditure reductions.
* Series 2016 General Obligation Bonds principal and interest payment become due.
Debt Service
Last year's debt service requirement was $807,063. After the approval of a $208,000 tax abatement
the net property tax supported debt service amount was $607,063. Next year's debt service is
$1,674,144. The increase is due to the issuance of $6.1 million for street repairs (Series 2016 General
Obligation Bonds).
The existing line of credit was extended to November 19t", 2018. The extended credit for the Emerald
Ash Borer tree replacement program and other public works projects will need to be paid off or
2
Packet Pg. 50
2.C.a
refinanced by the due date. The following is a summary of the Village's debt position through FY
2031.
As shown in the chart above, debt service levies will lower in FY 2021 with the expiration of the
Series 2010A Bonds. Thus, abatements will be required for each of the next four years to produce
level debt service payments. These projections do not factor for the refinancing of the line of credit.
Pensions
Both the Police and Fire Pension Fund's annual required contributions are being calculated by the
Village's independent actuary. The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) reports that the
employer portion of the pension will increase 2.5 percent in 2017. The current year's levy for IMRF
and employer FICA and Medicare cost was $1,502,955. The request for FY 2017 will be approximately
$1,540,528, an increase of 2.5 percent or $37,574.
The Firefighter Pension Levy will remain unchanged for FY 2017 at $2,174,632. The estimate for the
Police Pension Levy will be 3.5 percent growth, resulting in a levy amount of $2,525,647. Staff should
receive the final police pension actuarial study within the next several weeks. The total additional
required amount for all pension levies is estimated to be $122,982, and increase of 2.01 percent.
EA
The equalized assessed values of the Village are recovering from the precipitous decline that began in
2010. The total property value in Buffalo Grove during the valuation years 2010-2013 had dropped
28.1 percent from $1.89 billion to $1.42 billion. Last year the values grew by 3.5 percent. Staff
anticipates an increase of four percent for the FY 2016 levy. Below is a graph depicting the growth,
and decline, of EAV over the last ten years;

Impact
The result of the increases noted above would result in a tentative levy of $16,640,940 or 8.05
percent growth. As the FY 2017 Budget is under construction, staff will be structuring an abatement
strategy to mitigate some of the tax levy growth.
The next step in the process is the presentation of the truth in taxation report. If the Village's tax levy
request exceeds the prior year's tax extension (less debt service levies) by more than 5 percent the
Village must publish for, and conduct a public hearing. Using the amounts above, the increase would
be 2.6 percent. The reason for the difference in the percentage increase is that the debt service
levies are not part of the calculation for levy growth for truth in taxation purposes. At this point in
the process this would be the gross levy;

One of the strategic goals set forth in FY 2013 was to present a tax levy that represents no more than
11 percent of the total property tax bill. That goal is attained in the current year's tax levy.

The levy numbers are still tentative and will be further refined as the independent actuaries provide

Background
The Village of Buffalo Grove was incorporated in 1958, and since that, time has grown
into a progressive community that provides high quality services for residents, a strong
park district system and nationally ranked schools. Buffalo Grove is located in both
Cook and Lake Counties and convenient to major roadways and highways, in addition
to having to two Metra train stations — all of which provide accessibility for residents,
businesses, and visitors.
The character of Buffalo Grove is one that is cohesive and full of opportunities to get
involved. There are numerous annual events, including the Farmers Market,
Independence Day fireworks, Buffalo Grove Days, the Summer Concert Series,

their sense of pride in their community. The Village also has a number of boards and
commissions that residents are invited to participate in, so that they can play a part in
continuing to build the community's character and identity.
Buffalo Grove is both a stable and active Village. A substantial percentage of the
resident demographic includes educated professionals who have disposable income, a
fact that makes the Village a desirable place for business. A number of larger
companies who seek a skilled workforce are already based in Buffalo Grove. This is a
direct result of a streamlined, `business friendly' environment created by the Village
administration. The Community Development department has evolved its processes so
that they move at the speed developers need them to, in order to enable projects to
move forward in a timely and successful manner.
The Values of the Buffalo Grove community include a strong sense of community pride
exemplified through participation in entertainment, recreation, commerce, and civic
engagement.

Recommendation of Action
Staff recommends discussion.
In late 2012, the Village Board approved the 2013-2018 Strategic Plan. The strategic plan is largely a
document that lays out the operational and financial goals that are staff -oriented, under the Village
Board's guidance. In order to update the plan, in 2016 Peter Burchard was engaged to assist the Village
Board with identifying the three main priorities of the Village Board. The three priorities identified were
financial, economic development and leadership/communications. Based on the feedback received from
the Village Board, Staff and the Village's consultant have developed the attached draft board priorities for
review and discussion. At this time, Staff is reviewing the financial and economic development goals.
President Sussman is working on the leadership/communications piece. When these priorities are
approved by the Village Board they will be incorporated into an updated strategic plan.

Draft Village Board Priorities
Financial
Goal: The Village Board recognizes the need to generate revenue streams and manage
expense structures in order to fund infrastructure maintenance and
replacement, as well as to provide for high -quality services to its constituents.
The Village Board will allocate state shared revenues to fund Tier II and Tier III
services within five years.
Policy Implication: State shared revenues will be allocated to one-time and non -essential services
based upon the availability of funds.
As a policy, the Village Board endorses staff efforts to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of operations through better revenue collection and
management practices, consolidation/merger of services and other practices
that will simultaneously maintain Buffalo Grove's reputation for high service
levels.
Prior Actions: The Village Board previously allocated its non -debt service levy to public safety
expenditures, ensuring a stable revenue source for this program area.
Capital reserve transfers are made at the end of each calendar year, providing
maximum flexibility to the Village Board in allocating resources for programs.
Services have been assigned priority by Tier I, II and III, and further used as a
guide to develop resource allocations.
Staff developed a comprehensive fee and fine survey and rate analysis, which is
used to compare rates to comparable service providers.
Specific Actions: The Village Board will generate revenue allocation profile by service. As part of
the program based budget, each service will show its corresponding revenue
source(s).
The Village Board will assess and provide direction on any identified local
revenue sources that can be enhanced or implemented.
The Village Board will continue to pursue entrepreneurial arrangements to sell
external services to other units of local government, where a net benefit can be
realized.
Packet Pg. 60
2.E.a
The Village Board will continue to provide services based on core competencies,
seeking alternate service delivery models where practical and beneficial.
Economic Development
Goal: The Village Board will encourage and foster economic development as a means
to provide resources for operational and capital needs as well as to improve the
quality of life of the community.
The Village Board is determined to take action on development and
redevelopment plans that:
1. Provide more Buffalo Grove based opportunities for residents and business
persons to work, dine, shop and for entertainment.
2. Increase local revenues (e.g., sales tax) by supporting local economic
development projects consistent with approved plans.
The Village Board will explore and adopt financial mechanisms that allow
needed reinvestment to occur — in the planning and development phases of
redevelopment.
Policy Implication: Economic development requires systemic reinvestment in existing and new
commercial areas. Reinvestment may require the use of economic
development tools afforded to municipalities under state law.
Prior Actions: The Village Board has previously approved revenue sharing agreements for sales
tax producing entities (Hines Lumber, Connexion, auto dealers).
The Village Board considered a proposal to redevelop the Buffalo Grove Golf
Course property for a downtown project.
The Village Board approved funding in the 2016 budget for the Lake Cook Road
Corridor Study, which is currently under development.
The Village Board used Tax increment financing to initially develop the Town
Center property.
Specific Actions: The Village Board will assess successful projects in other communities to gain an
understanding of financial, legal, land use and other tools available to develop
successful local projects.
The Village Board will explore establishing a commercial brokerage relationship
to seek and vet potential projects.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Dane C. Bragg, Village Manager
FROM: Arthur A. Malinowski, Jr., Director of Human Resources
Peter D. Cahill, Management Analyst
DATE: October 7, 2016
RE: Proposed 2017 Pay Ranges
IN
In 2014, the Village of Buffalo Grove adopted a formal classification and compensation strategy,
which is closely aligned with the Village's strategic initiatives, as well as the external and
internal labor market. Using these methods, staff has developed the attached 2017 pay ranges for
non -represented employees. The establishment of this market driven compensation plan is a key
component of our continuing pay for perfonnance program and overall compensation strategy.
Based on a survey of our comparable communities, staff is proposing a 2.0% general wage
increase, contingent on the ongoing budget process. The attached ranges include the proposed
2.0% general wage increase for 2017 for all non -represented positions.
The pay ranges for positions represented by the Buffalo Grove Professional
Firefighter/Paramedic Association and the Metropolitan Alliance of Police remain unchanged
and will be determined via the collective bargaining process in the coming months.
Since the proposed 2017 pay ranges were last discussed with the Village Board at the September
12 Committee of the Whole meeting staff has conducted further analysis, based on feedback
received. This further analysis resulted in several changes to the ranges, including the following:
1. Discovering and correcting an error in the Grade 13 pay range to reflect a 2017 general
wage increase of 2.0%, rather than 2.5%.
2. Discovering an error with the top of the range for the Purchasing Manager position,
which has been corrected to $105,691.04.
3. Analyzing whether the position of Mechanic II should be reclassified to a lower grade.
Based on internal equity considerations, staff recommends that this position remain at
Grade 21.
4. Analyzing whether the Deputy Village Manager position should be reclassified to a grade
higher than the department director range. Although the Village has traditionally placed
the Deputy Village Manager and the department directors in the same range, many
communities choose to separate the two. Based on internal and external equity
considerations, the attached 2017 pay ranges separate the Deputy Village Manager and
the department directors by decreasing the department director top of range to
Page 1 of 2
2.F.a
Packet Pg. 64
2.F.a
$168,066.08 and increasing the Deputy Village Manager Pay Range to
$185,696.16. This change is consistent with comparable community data.
It is important to note that although many of the pay ranges have been amended for 2017,
the actual salaries of individual employees will not be changed automatically by any
amount other than the proposed 2.0% general wage increase. Consistent with the adopted
pay for performance program, merit based increases are determined by the average composite
score eared by each employee and his/her position within each quartile of the applicable pay
grade.
It is staff's recommendation that the Village Board formally adopts the 2017 pay ranges at the
December 5, 2016 Regular Board Meeting.
I am available to discuss this matter with your further at your convenience.
