MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 2, 2022
TO: Village President Beverly Sussman and Trustees
FROM: Dane Bragg, Village Mana,r,,
SUBJECT: Link Together/Stand Strong Coalition Funding
Is
Policy Question
Should the Village of Buffalo Grove provide funding to the Link Together/Stand Strong
coalitions for youth drug and alcohol prevention efforts in Buffalo Grove in the amount
of $10,000?
Staffnati o
Staff recommends the Village Board consider the requested funding as part of the FY
2023 budget process. Representatives from the Police Department will further assess
program outcomes over the next few months to develop a recommendation to the
Village Board. No specific action by the Village Board is required at this time.
The coalitions are currently funded in part by a Drug Free Communities Grant in the
amount of $250,000 annually. The grant program provides funding through September
30, 2023 for Link Together and September 30, 2025 for Stand Strong. The DFC grant
program cannot be extended past these dates. The coalitions also receive $563,000
annually in grant funding through the Illinois Department of Human Services Substance
Use Prevention program.
Because the coalitions are nearing the end of their grant periods, they are seeking
funding from various community agencies (school districts, municipalities, parent
associations) to sustain their programs into the future. Municipalities that are served
by the coalitions are being asked to contribute $10,000 on an annual basis. For the
current request, funding is anticipated to occur in September 2023.
Representatives from Link Together/Stand Strong, as well as Dr. Greg Barker, will be
present at the June 6 Village Board meeting to provide background on the coalition's
background, funding and future goals.

Packet Pg. 3
2.A.a
Next Steps
The Village Board does not have a specific community -agency or program grant policy.
Should the Village Board wish to consider funding this request, a discussion should
occur to establish the proper method to provide funding. Funding could be provided
directly or indirectly (through the Buffalo Grove Community Foundation), and could be
on a 100 percent, partial, or matching basis.

The purpose of the Five -Year Operating Forecast is to help the Village of Buffalo Grove make
informed, operational decisions by better anticipating future revenues and expenditures. Using
the forecasted data, the Village can plan strategies for providing a consistent, appropriate level
of service to the customers while ensuring the revenues and expenditures remain in a sustainable
balance. The primary objective of the forecast is to provide the Village Board and related
stakeholders with an early financial assessment and identify significant issues that should be
addressed in the budget development process. For the purposes of constructing the forecast,
operating revenues are measured against operating expenditures without including any prior
period fund balance to subsidize revenue.
The goals of the forecast are to assess the Village's ability,
over the next five years, to maintain current service levels
based on projected revenue growth, evaluate future
sustainability by aligning operating revenues and
expenditures, and ensure proper funding of infrastructure
reserves. The assessment analyzes the capacity to fund
capital projects and maintain an unassigned fund balance
reserve at three months of budget expenditures (25%).
It is important to stress that this forecast is not a budget. It
does not dictate expenditure decisions; rather it identifies the
need to prioritize allocations of Village resources. The forecast
sets the stage for the budget process and aids both staff and
the Village Board in establishing priorities and allocating
resources appropriately.
� he intent of the F�ve
Year Operating Forecast
�s to evaivate resource
aiioca ions to ensure the
proper funding ieveis for
seirOscs, susl litasl,
infrastructure and
u°n aint hums ng reserves.
As a governmental entity, changes in strategy that involve service delivery should be slow and
methodical. The forecast provides a snapshot of the Village's fiscal health based on numerous
assumptions over the next five years. The forecast is a planning tool and should be considered
fluid in its construction. As new significant data or trends emerge the document will be revised,
at minimum, on an annual basis.
In each of the five years, revenues offset operating expenses and the budgets are anticipated to
be in balance. However, expenses are expected to outpace average annual revenue growth by
1.2 percent per year. After including amounts necessary for reserves and capital, there is a
shortfall every year of the forecast. This illustrates the need to continue efforts to finance capital
improvements, as well as operating efficiently and review revenue sources for adequacy,
efficiency, and diversification.
Packet Pg. 29
2.C.a
The General Fund is the main operating fund and accounts for the core public services provided
by the Village including public safety (police & fire), public works, community development, as
well as operations that support core services. All major discretionary revenues such as property
tax, sales tax, income tax, telecommunication excise tax, and utility use tax are accounted for
within the General Fund. The Finance Department works with departments responsible for
administering the service and/or collecting the associated revenue to develop program revenues.
Expenditures assumed in the forecast are based on the current service levels. No additional
staffing has been included in the estimates. Actual expenditures for 2021 and the 2022 budget
amounts are the basis for the five-year estimates. The General Fund is the primary focus of the
forecast because it represents over half of the total Village Budget. The second largest Village
Fund is the Water and Sewer Fund accounting for 21.1 percent of the total budget. Atwenty-year
funding analysis is completed annually for that enterprise activity.
In the absence of any known service level modifications, the forecast assumes the continuation
of current service levels and the costs projected over five years. Revenues are estimated based
on anticipated growth and does not consider increases in revenues generated by new fees or
increases in fees, new development, or charges beyond what is prescribed by current ordinance.
Packet Pg. 30
2.C.a
In the development of a long-term financial forecast, the Village reviews external and internal
factors that could impact the either the collection of revenue or the price of acquiring goods or
providing services. Evaluating how the regional impact of the national economy (macro)
influences the local economy (micro) is an important step in the process.
The Village, like many other communities, suffered a major economic decline following the onset
of the COVID-19 pandemic followed by a strong economic recovery. The Village experienced a
combined loss of $1.4 million in state sales tax and home rule sales tax. However, a financial plan
to reduce operating expenses to mitigate the use of financial reserves was implemented. In FY
2021, major revenue sources rebounded from the previous year's decline. As a result, the Village
was able to increase its reserves for capital improvements.
The national economy affects both state and local economies, although this impact varies by
jurisdiction and may actually have an inverse effect on a community. Some of the economic
indicators the Village uses in financial analysis include: inflation, stock market returns,
employment, housing starts, vehicle sales, interest rates, and manufacturing activity.
Inflation —The Consumer Price Index (CPI), commonly referred to as the inflation rate, measures
the average price change for a market basket of consumer goods and services. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics classifies each expenditure item in the basket into more than 200 categories
catalogued into eight major groups. The Consumer Price Index is used as the inflationary factor
for specific non -personnel services.
As inflation goes up, the cost of goods sold go up, increasing retail sales tax revenue. As prices
rise, so will business income tax receipts. Conversely, the Village will have to pay more for goods
and services. The most recent (April 2022) Consumer Price Index is at 8.3 percent, which is the
highest level in nearly 40 years.
Stock Market Returns — Stock market returns are a leading indicator and will change before the
economy changes. Approximately 6S percent of all Village pension funds are invested in mutual
funds and/or individual stocks. The performance of the stock market is a significant factor in
determining the growth of the property tax levy for pensions. It is assumed the pension funds
will earn seven percent annually through investment returns.
Employment— Retail and vehicle sales tend to have inverse relationships with the unemployment
rate. Sales tend to move in the opposite direction of the unemployment rate. Chronic
unemployment often spills over into the residential real estate market resulting in lost real estate
transfer tax revenue.
Housing Market - This indicator provides a sense of the overall demand for housing, which can
be indicative of local housing activity. Data maintained by local realtor groups is useful in
projecting the future of market recoveries.
Packet Pg. 31
2.C.a
Vehicle sales — Sales and use tax revenues tend to fall with vehicle sales, which are heavily
dependent upon both employment and interest rates. However, if increases in sales of new
vehicles are expected to reduce the value of used vehicles, the sales and use tax base can actually
decline if the depreciation of used vehicles is not equally offset by the value of new vehicles.
Interest rates — The interest rate impacts the Village's revenues in several ways. First, investment
income will be affected by interest rates. Second, the availability and cost of capital directly
affects business expansion and retail purchases. As credit is extended and/or rates are lowered,
revolving purchases may increase, thereby increasing development plans and retail sales and, by
extension, sales tax and business licenses revenues.
Manufacturing activity — If a Village has a large manufacturing sector, the ISM (Institute of Supply
Management Index) becomes a significant factor in revenue analysis and forecasting.
Manufacturers respond to the demand for their products by increasing production and building
up inventories to meet the demand. The increased production often requires new workers which
lowers unemployment figures and can stimulate the local economy.
Although national economic indicators do have some trickle -down impact on the Village Budget,
there are regional and local economic factors that have a direct influence over revenues and
expenditures. Some of those factors that have been considered moving into the next five year
update include:
• Impact of the Real Estate Market and Assessed Valuations. Assessed values for taxable
property continue with positive growth. Lake County property values declined by 0.47
percent in FY 2021, while Cook County property values are anticipated to increase slightly
once valuations are reported by the county. See the chart below to see the ten-year,
combined county, history of equalized assessed values.
Packet Pg. 32
2.C.a
• State of Illinois Legislation. As the State of Illinois has experience financial difficulties over
the last decade, staff continues to monitor legislative discussions that could have a direct
financial impact on Village revenues.
• Impact of Employer Pension Costs. The tax levies for the three pension systems account
for 44.5 percent of the property tax levy. Additional pressure on the tax levy to support
growing pension costs will impact the ability to increase taxes for core services. Bond
rating agencies continue to site pension obligations as a downward pressure on the
Village's ability to maintain the Aaa rating with S&P.
• Health Care Inflation. After wages, health care costs are the single largest expenditure
category in the fund and the Village continually reviews the structure of the plan to limit
the amount of growth on an annual basis. The Village is a member of the
Intergovernmental Personnel Benefits Cooperative (IPBC). This insurance pool helps to
dilute risk and helps to leverage purchasing power.
• Commercial/Retail Development. The economy's impact on existing sales tax generators
as well as development or redevelopment of Dundee, Milwaukee Road corridors and Lake
Cook Corridors continues to be an important cog in economic development. With the
adoption of the Lake Cook Road TIF, the Village has seen several new projects get
completed such as the NCH Office Building and future projects such as the $150 million
Clove Development.
• Infrastructure. The ability to keep pace with the maintenance needs of Village owned
assets continues to be a significant financial challenge. The Village owns and maintains
$240 million in capital assets, excluding depreciation, across all activities.

The forecast provides three levels of analysis. The first level (above) is to show the General Fund's
ability to meet day-to-day expenditures. The highlighted row design (Operating Surplus/Deficit)
is an indicator of whether anticipated revenues support operating expenditures. In all five years
of the forecast, revenues will support current services. This is a measure of short-term
sustainability. The second level of the analysis includes transfers for capital projects and
infrastructure reserves.
Long term sustainability is measured through the Village's ability to invest in infrastructure
including funding reserves for vehicles, buildings, equipment, technology, streets (though State
and Local Motor Fuel Tax), and projects in the Capital Improvement Plan. All projects submitted
for inclusion in the FY 2022-2027 CIP have been added to this report. After including these
transfers, the cumulative fund shortfall at the end of FY 2027 is estimated to be nearly $94.5
million.

The current budgeting strategy is to contribute to capital reserve programs in order to remain on
a pay-as-you-go basis of capital asset financing. If reserve amounts are depleted, or inadequately
funded, staff will need to consider debt financing for future expenditures.
Over the next five years it is anticipated that $47.4 million in funding, above the current
forecasted amounts in the General Fund. However, the Village Board has addressed
infrastructure funding needs through by the approval of increased water/sewer rates, a local
motor fuel tax and adult use cannabis tax. In 2020, the Village successfully issued $24 million in
general obligation bonds fund infrastructure improvements. Bond issues are planned for 2025,
2030, and 2033 to fund future improvements. The revenue enhancements and bond issue
support the Infrastructure Modernization Program, a five-year strategy to invest $175 million is
streets, sewer and water infrastructure.

The General Fund Reserve Policy sets forth a minimum unassigned reserve level of 25 percent of
the subsequent year's budget, excluding transfers to fund capital projects. The preferred balance
per the policy is 30 percent. Unassigned fund balance above the 30 percent threshold may be
allocated to a reserve for debt service retirement and revenue stabilization.
It is important to maintain a strong reserve level for several reasons, (1) it provides more time to L
react and respond to revenue threats created by economic conditions, (2) it helps to better U°
withstand any unfunded legislative mandates that will create additional expenditure obligations
without corresponding revenue, and (3) to fund unforeseen infrastructure/capital asset costs. Ui
Spending down of prior period reserve balances allows the Village time to reallocate resources
within the budget and restructure service levels to react to the fiscal environment. After drawing
down on the balance to respond to emergency conditions, it is important to rebuild those
L
reserves in order to remain flexible to respond to the next threat. Fund balance should never be
used to support day-to-day operations. Absent an unforeseen economic crisis, the use of reserves LO
to support operating expenditures represents a budget that is structurally unbalanced. N

The estimated General Fund balance unassigned reserve at the end of FY 2021 is $16.4 million or N
35 percent of the FY 2022 operating budget. The Village also has designated an additional
$4,860,000 to the debt stabilization reserve for the early retirement of our 2012 bonds and
$770,000 for revenue stabilization.
Packet Pg. 37
2.C.a
Approximately 81 percent of all General Fund revenue is generated from seven revenue sources
including property tax, combined sales tax including prepared food and beverage, income and
use tax, telecommunications tax, utility (natural gas & electricity) use tax and real estate transfer
tax.
Almost half of the Village's major revenue sources are elastic. Elastic revenues are those sources
that tend to fluctuate with the economy. A balance between elastic and inelastic revenue is
desired as a hedge against market volatility. General Fund revenues considered to be elastic
include: sales and use taxes, income taxes, real estate transfer tax, building revenue and fees,
and investment income. The property tax is an example of a non -elastic source of revenue as
collections are stable and predictable.
The Village continues to seek to be less reliant upon state -shared revenues (income, base sales,
and telecommunication taxes) and align core services with taxes/fees under local home rule
control.
There are three components to the Village's property tax levy. The first component is the
Corporate Levy. This levy helps to fund public safety (police and fire) operations. The growth in
the corporate levy is tied to inflation. The second component is the Debt Service Levy. This levy
covers the principal and interest payment on outstanding debt issuances. The last component is
the special purpose/pension levies.
The tax levies for the three pension funds (police, Firefighters and IMRF) are calculated by
independent actuaries. The levies are structured to cover the normal cost of the pension, an
amortized annual amount of the unfunded actuarial liability, and the interest cost on that liability.
Unfunded liability grows when actuarial assumptions are not met (interest rate) or when
legislative changes (Springfield) are enacted that enhance benefits. Those legislative changes
produce unfunded liabilities.
Each year the Village determines its levy amount. Since debt service payments are mandatory as
are pension contributions, the amount of control the Village has over the tax levy is limited to
the Corporate Levy.
Future ability to raise property tax revenue to support General Fund operations is challenging as
the corporate levy must compete for tax dollars with pension and debt service levies.
See the chart below to see where property tax dollars are allocated.

The levy request is then applied to the equalized assessed value of all property within the Village
to determine a tax rate. Assuming the same tax levy amount, if the property values go up the
rate goes down and conversely the rate goes up if the values decline.
The total equalized assessed value of property in Buffalo Grove is estimated to be $1,781,963,236
representing a 0.15 percent decrease from the previous year. The Lake County portion of the
Village's EAV has decreased 0.47 percent year over year.

Inflation sets the growth baseline for both the base (2%) and home rule sales taxes (2%).
Combined, this is the second largest revenue source for the Village. The base sales tax revenue is
directly related to the dollar value of sales made within the Village. Home rule sales tax applies
to the same transactions as the base sales tax except in the following transactions, food for
human consumption off the premises where sold (groceries), prescription and non-prescription
medicines and tangible personal property that is titled with an agency of the State of Illinois.
The assumption for the five year analysis is that the retail mix will remain substantially similar to
what is present today with the exception of new retailers where development plans are
approved. The forecast applied to both base and home rule sales tax produces the following:

The Illinois Income Tax is imposed on every individual, corporation, trust, and estate earning or
receiving income. The tax is calculated by multiplying net income by a flat rate. The current rate
is five percent of net income. The rate reverted to 3.75 percent beginning January 1, 2015 to
December 31, 2024. The rate will then reduce to 3.25 percent starting on January 1, 2025. The
formula for distribution for local governments was 10 percent of the revenue, allocated on a per
capita basis, when the rate was 3 percent. When the state rate increased to 5 percent, the

increase was not included in the distribution making the effective per capita distribution to
municipalities six percent.
The Village's unemployment rate as of April 2022 is 2.9 percent, which bests the state of Illinois
(4.6 percent) and the U.S. (3.6 percent). Income receipts performed very well in 2021 and for
the first five months of 2022 due to low unemployment and strong corporate profits.

This tax (1%) was adopted in 2008 and is levied on the purchase of prepared food for immediate
consumption and the sale of liquor. Similar to sales tax, inflationary growth is the primary reason
for revenue increases. The source is projected to increase two percent annually. There are
approximately 100 establishments that charge and remit this tax to the Village.
This tax levied at 6 percent on all types of telecommunications except for digital subscriber lines
(DSL) purchased, used, or sold by a provider of internet service (effective July 1, 2008). The
exemption of DSL service has made a significant impact on collections. Recent legislation has also
mandated that data packages no longer be bundled with all other telecommunications billing for
the sake of taxation. Those services have been exempted. This revenue source is down 44.6
percent in FY 2021 from $1.3 million in FY 2019. The forecast calls for no change over the
remainder of the plan.
Natural gas and electricity charges are based on consumption and will fluctuate with seasonal
demands. The Village is charging the highest statutory rate. There is no consumption growth

projected over the next five years. Any new growth will be predicated on adding square footage
to houses or buildings and offset by more energy efficient construction and mechanical systems.
Real estate transfer tax is collected at the rate of $3 per $1,000 of sales consideration. Sales
recovered from the FY 2012, when the market reached a low point, through FY 2018. In FY 2021,
tax receipts totaled $1.6 million due to the strong real estate market, which resulted in a high
volume of sales and increasing sales prices.

Wages are anticipated to increase by a factor of three percent each year. The wage forecast
anticipates the general wage increases plus merit based pay range adjustments. The forecast
does assume retirements with a replacement hired at a lower starting salary.
Over half of the workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements and the Village has less
flexibility when addressing wages within the police and fire departments.
Budgeted full time staffing is at 210 employees. For all positions, the ratio of municipal employees
per 1,000 residents is 4.8 compared to a ratio of 7.8/1,000 in 2010.
Packet Pg. 44
2.C.a
A major initiative in FY 2015 was to establish a pay for performance system that will allow
employees to move through their pay ranges. A merit wage pool will be included in the FY 2022
Budget and managed by the Human Resources Department. The ability to advance employees
through their pay range based upon performance is critical in maintaining an effective and
motivated work force.
The largest single expenditure within Personal Benefits is for health insurance. The Village is a
member of the Intergovernmental Professional Benefits Cooperative (IPBC). As a member of
IPBC, the Village is better able to stabilize medical costs through risk pooling and provide for a
mechanism to help establish positive cash flow and rebuild reserves. The forecast calls for three
percent growth each year in annual premium expense.
The employees' contribution is set at 15 percent of the premium in FY 2023. Continued efforts
will be made to maintain costs. A renewed emphasis on wellness programs and evaluating data
will be critical in the next few years to help stabilize experience.
Employer pension costs have been assigned to each operating department budget. The intent of
the accounting was to better represent the true cost of providing a specific service. Employer
pension obligations are anticipated to be $6.8 million in 2023 or 14.1 percent of the General Fund
Budget.
Within the Insurance category is the premium paid for general liability and workers'
compensation coverage. In FY 2016, the Village moved from the Intergovernmental Risk
Management Pool (IRMA) for general liability and workers' compensation coverage to establish
a risk premium structure that is more commensurate with the Village's service profile and asset
values.
The Village is a founding member of the Suburban Liability Insurance Pool or SLIP. The purpose
of SLIP it to share risk with similarly sized, full -service communities and mitigate increases in
premium costs and develop economies of scale for administrative services.
The single largest expenditure within the Commodity account group is for purchase of salt for the
snow and ice control program. The forecast calls for increases of 2.5 percent per annum. Staff
continues to seek innovative ways to reduce commodity costs, such as bulk electric procurement,
and utilizing centralized purchasing to leverage the Village's buying power.
Packet Pg. 45
2.C.a
Expenditure growth in this account group is estimated to be 2.5 percent per year. Included in
these expenditures are costs related to the maintenance and repair of sidewalks and bike paths,
street patching, streetlights, building facilities, vehicles and parkway trees. Included in these
costs are Internal Service Fund charges for Central Garage and Building Maintenance
expenditures.
Included in the transfers are $4.8 million for vehicles, technology, storm water and building
reserves for the General Fund over the next five years. If the Village intends to continue with a
pay-as-you-go approach to acquiring vehicles, supporting technology infrastructure and repairing
facilities, then these transfers should be programmed.
It should be noted that the reserve amount for facilities is the minimum to address various
maintenance needs and does not provide funding for major repairs including roof replacements,
purchase of mechanical systems and/or functional remodeling.
There is $99.3 million in capital projects scheduled for completion during the five year forecast.
The projects are taken from the current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the details of those
projects are included in the FY 2022 annual budget. The amount of the capital reserve funding is
not sufficient to meet the needs of certain CIP program areas.
Packet Pg. 46
2.C.a
In each of the five years, revenues offset operating expenses and the budgets are anticipated to
be in balance. This statement should be viewed with caution as revenues are expected to grow
on average 1.7 percent per year while operating expenditures outpace average annual revenue
growth by 1.2 percent per year or 2.9 percent.
After including amounts necessary for reserves and capital, there is a shortfall every year of the
forecast. The shortfall is created by a desire to cash finance most capital projects. This is
anticipated and adjustments can be made to address funding levels. It is important to note that
reducing amounts spent on capital should not be viewed as budget cuts (or savings) rather is a
conscious decision to defer spending to future years. The liability still exists. Reserve spending
should be viewed in the same light.
While efforts will continue to focus on how to deliver the same high level of services at lower unit
costs, staff recognizes that revenues will also need to be reviewed. Every opportunity to grow
the sales tax base should continue to be considered. Staff must ensure that revenues are
reviewed for adequacy (fees), efficiency (collections), and efficacy (diversified). New revenue
sources should be researched, discussed, and if warranted, presented to the Village Board for
consideration.
This report will be used as a guide for the development of the FY 2023 Budget and will help shape
the discussion about how the Village adapts to the current and future financial landscape. Staff
seeks further input from the Village Board on the operating forecast.

RE: FY 2022 20-year Water Pro -Forma
Background
In 2012, the Village developed a 20-year Water and Sewer Fund pro -forma to evaluate the water and
sewer system's infrastructure needs. As identified in previous pro -forma, the Village's historical rates
were not sufficient to fund water and sewer operations and capital needs.
In 2019, the Village Board directed staff to develop a formal funding strategy for the Water and Sewer
Fund that would allow needed capital improvements to occur over the next 20 years. The goal was to
develop a funding strategy to complete $150 million of sewer/water infrastructure. The strategy could
not impact the Village's the property tax levy and maintain a competitive water rate amongst other
providers within the region.
As a result, the Village Board adopted a new rate structure and fixed facility fee, effective January 2020.
Furthermore, the Village implemented a new local motor fuel tax in effort to align roadwork with
water/sewer improvements. For the Board's review is an updated 20-year water pro -forma reflecting
the new rate structure as well as the issuance of debt in 2020. The pro -forma shows that Public Works
is able to complete over $150 million in water and sewer capital infrastructure through 2042.
Rate and Consumption iso
The Village maintained a water and sewer rate of $1.80/1,000 gallons for twenty-three years (1983-
2005). Funding for future infrastructure replacement (funding depreciation) was never a component
of the rate structure.
The Village was able to adequately maintain the water and sewer system without increasing rates
during the time period for several reasons. First, Developers donated approximately 53 percent of the
water and sewer system assets when the Village experienced growth in the 1980's and 1990's. In
addition, revenues increased due to growing water consumption and the receipt of building and
development fees. Growing revenue, combined with more limited capital needs due to the age of the
system, allowed the Village to fund infrastructure improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis from Water
and Sewer Fund cash reserves.
Beginning in 2003, a pattern of declining water usage started. In 2002, 1.63 billion gallons of water
were billed. In 2021, the Village billed customers for 1.2 billion gallons, a decrease of 26.4 percent from
2003. There is no expectation that the amount of water billed will reach those levels again absent a
significant drought or the addition of heavy industrial uses. The following chart shows the annual
gallons billed since 2012.

The latest pro -forma uses an estimate of 1.15 billion gallons and will carry forward through the next
20 years. Although there will be an increase in total consumers over the next two decades with Link E
Crossing and the Lake Cook Corridor Developments, continued conservation efforts, weather patterns, E
and other impacts on water usage could partially offset that growth. 4

The Village has an agreement in place for the resale of potable water to the Pekara and Horatio CD
Gardens neighborhoods with the Lake County Public Works Department. The proposed agreement
allows the Village to utilize its existing pumping and reservoir capacity to provide water to
Pekara/Horatio Gardens while providing a high -quality and reliable water source. The pro -forma
includes revenue and expenses related to agreement the beginning in 2024. N

The utility system consists of 186 linear miles of water and sewer main. Based on actual experience in IN
N
the field, the service life of the water main infrastructure is 65 years. Over the next 20 years, it is W
estimated that 24 percent of the water mains will reach the end of their useful life. As the first iterations
E
of infrastructure replacement have come due, the Village has engaged in extensive study of the system °1
and developed a replacement program, culminating in 2020's Infrastructure Modernization Program. The
following chart shows the pattern of construction of water main since 1929. m

Sewer assets have a longer life span as the structures are not pressurized. The Village's preferred
approach is to line existing sanitary sewer mains, thereby extending the life considerably while reducing
the life cycle cost of the asset. As a general rule, sanitary sewer lining can extend the life of a gravity -fed
main by 50 years.
Recent Rate Changes
Fixed Facility Fee
As recommended in the water and sewer rate analysis prepared by Strand and Associates, the Village
Board implemented a new fixed facility fee per metered utility account, starting in 2020. The fixed
facility fee is a flat rate assessed to each metered account for access to the water and sewer system.
The fixed fees collected are used for the maintenance and replacement of the capital infrastructure for
the delivery of clean water and the removal of the wastewater. The current fee schedule is as follows:
All Single -Family Detached, Single -Family Attached
Residential/Governmental/Institutional
Multi -Family, Commercial/Industrial Based on Meter

6" meters $199.20
The fixed feewill beevaluated everyfiveyears by utilizingthe aggregate Consumer Price Index(CPI-U) over
the preceding five-year period to determine if the rate must be increased. The 20-Year Water/Sewer
Pro -Forma assumes a 10 percent increase to the facility fee to occur in 2025.
Water/Sewer Rate
The Village's consumption model is driven by water rate and consumer use. The fees collected from
system users should cover operating expenses such as the cost of the water sourced from the
Northwest Water Commission as well as the cost for pumping, storage and distribution. In 2020, the
Village Board approved a one-time 11 percent increase to meet and sustain growth in operating
expenditures. Beginning in 2021, the rate will increase each year by 4 percent, as adopted by ordinance
by the Village Board. The combined sewer and water rate per 1,000 gallons is $7.64.
Water and Sewer Fund Financials
Historically, the Water and Sewer Fund addressed infrastructure maintenance and improvement on a
pay as you go basis. Due to the relative age of the system, many system repairs and replacements are
coming due over the next 20 years based on the growth periods for the Village. Since 2012, $24.7
million in infrastructure repairs and improvements has been spent, including $6 million in water meter
replacement costs. The meter replacement costs were funded through an installment note scheduled
to be retired in 2029.
As noted, the Village Board approved two revenue streams, a fixed facility fee combined with a
water/sewer rate increase and a local motor fuel tax to fund capital improvements. These actions
allow the Village to address the first generation of major water and sewer infrastructure replacement,
as well as street repair and replacement. By combining utility and street improvements, the Village is
able to comprehensively address repairs and improvements in neighborhoods and limit disruption to
residents.
In May 2020, the Board also approved the issuance of a bond totaling $26 million - $13 million for
water/sewer and $13 million for streets, to begin the Infrastructure Modernization Program. From
2020 through 2025, the Village will invest approximately $50 million into water, sanitary sewer, and
street improvements. The long-term goal is to transition from a debt and cash strategy to a cash -only
strategy (pay-as-you-go) to fund all system replacements.
From 2020 through 2023, the Village has programmed $20.2 million in water and sewer capital
projects. The Village completed approximately $6 million in capital projects in FY 2021. The Village will
utilize water and sewer reserves from 2023 through 2029 to fund capital improvements. In 2030 and
again in 2033, the Village will need to issue additional debt to keep pace with the water and sewer
improvements. The debt could be fully supported by revenues generated in the Water and Sewer
Fund. All debt is scheduled to be retired by 2048.
After completing the largest surge of infrastructure replacement through 2034, the Water and Sewer
fund begins to rebuild cash balances exceeding from 2035-2041, while also supporting over $45.8
million in capital improvements during the same period. As a result of the Village's careful
infrastructure planning, Public Works is able to complete over $150 million in water and sewer capital
infrastructure through 2039, consistent with the recommendations of the Strand & Associates
water/sewer system study.
