The Honorable Jeffrey Braiman
Members of the Village Board
Citizens of the Village of Buffalo Grove
As required by both local ordinances and state statutes, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is
hereby issued for the Village of Buffalo Grove (Village) for the year ended December 31, 2010. These
ordinances and statutes require that the Village issue an annual report on its financial position and activity
presented in conformance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent fmn of
certified public accountants.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information
presented in the report based upon a comprehensive internal control framework. Because the cost of
internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Village's comprehensive framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatement.
The Village's financial statements have been audited by Wolf & Company LLP, a firm of licensed
certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the
financial statements of the Village of Buffalo Grove for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, are free
of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the fmancial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering
an unqualified opinion that the Village's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010,
are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first
component of the financial section ofthis report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor's report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic fmancial statements. MD&A
complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the Village of Buffalo Grove
The Village of Buffalo Grove was incorporated March 7, 1958, and is located approximately 29 miles
northwest of the downtown of the City of Chicago. The Village resides in both Cook and Lake Counties
and spans 9.20 square miles and, based on the 2010 U.S. Census, serves a population of 41,496. The
Village of Buffalo Grove is empowered to levy a property tax on real property located within its
boundaries. It is also empowered by state statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which it has
done from time to time.
The Village became a home rule unit by referendum on July 1, 1980, giving it additional powers to tax and
regulate in ways not specifically granted, or prohibited, by the Illinois Constitution. The Village operates
under a Council/Manager form of government. Policy making and legislative authority are vested with the
Village Board, which consists of a President and a six member Board of Trustees. The Village Board is
responsible for passing ordinances and resolutions, adopting the annual budget, appointing committees,
and hiring the Village's Manager and Attorney. The Village Manager is responsible for carrying out the
11
policies, ordinances and resolutions of the Village Board, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the
Village, and for appointing department directors.
The Board is elected on a non-partisan basis. Board members are elected to four-year staggered terms with
three board members elected every two years. The President and Clerk are elected to four-year terms. All
elections are at large.
The Village provides a number of general government services including police and fire protection, water
and sewer utilities including sewerage treatment, street construction and maintenance, code enforcement,
planning and zoning and general administrative services.
The Village of Buffalo Grove is considered a desirable residential community due to the highly rated
school systems, award winning park district facilities and programs, two libraries in close proximity to the
Village, and more than 400 acres of parks and open space. Approximately 80.1% of the taxable valuation
is categorized as residential.
Regional transportation can be accessed through the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) that provides a direct
connection to Chicago or Milwaukee, Route 53 just two miles to the west provides access to I-290 and
I-355, the METRA North Central Service commuter line, or PACE, the suburban bus division of the
Regional Transportation Authority. Air transportation is available through O'Hare International Airport,
located just twenty miles from the Village, and Chicago Executive Airport located in the neighboring
community of Wheeling.
Financial Planning & Control
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village's financial planning and as a management
control document. Legal spending thresholds are established through an Appropriation Ordinance. The
Village Board is required to hold a public hearing on the Appropriation Ordinance and must adopt a fmal
budget no later than December 31st of each year. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and
department (e.g., police). Department directors may make transfers of appropriations within a department.
Transfers of appropriations between departments and fund/account groups, however, require the special
approval of the Village Board.
The accounts of the Village are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate and
distinct accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures. Revenues
are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be
expended and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The accounting records for general
governmental operations are maintained on the modified accrual basis, with revenues being recorded when
available and measurable and expenditures being recorded when the material or services are received and
the liability is incurred. Accounting records for the Village's enterprise funds, internal service funds,
agency funds and pension trust funds are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
Economic Outlook
Although the Village strives to maintain a diverse revenue base, the current economic downturn has
impacted all sectors of the economy rather than specific revenue sources. The second largest source of
revenue for the Village is sales taxes (both base and home rule). Although there was a slight uptick in
collections of about 1.6% over 2009, total collections remain 15% less that the peaks established several
years ago. As state shared sales tax combined with the home rule sales tax represents a significant portion
of the Corporate Fund revenue profile, the Village is proactive in protecting and promoting its retail tax
base. The Village has implemented a business retention program and is diligent about attracting new
business to the area and will work with property owners to market their sites to brokers, retailers,
developers, and others in the real estate field.
111
Employment levels in the Village have traditionally exceeded that of Lake and Cook Counties and the
State of Illinois as a whole. As of December 31, 2010 the Village's unemployment rate was estimated to
be 8.0%, compared to 10.5% for Lake County, 10.3% for the State of Illinois and 9.6% for the United
States.
New commercial and residential construction activity continue to slow compared to the prior year. In
2010, a total of I ,811 permits were issued with a new or improvement construction value of $29.2 million.
Long-term Financial Planning
The Village assesses its capital needs by publishing a five year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) annually.
This document is a planning tool to identify, in the short and medium term, what the capital needs
(facilities and roadways) and measure those demands against the Village's ability to pay. For a project to
be incorporated into the CIP, it must involve either the creation, improvement, or acquisition of a tangible
asset with an original cost of at least $25,000.
Within the next five years it is anticipated that the Village will require nearly $30.6 million in capital
improvements. Traditionally those improvement have been fmanced under a "pay-as-you go" strategy.
Transportation-related projects represent a large percentage of the improvements at $12.5 million. Routine
maintenance of existing streets accounts for $11 million of those projects. Approximately $6.7 million is
allocated to improving and maintaining the water utility system.
Two significant facility projects are contemplated in the next five years including expansions of the Public
Service Center and Fire Station #26. Both improvements will address functional issues related to space
constraints and will work within the existing facilities.
Major Initiatives
The Village issued $2.6 million in general obligation bonds to fund storm water drainage improvements at
various locations. Improvements include utilizing strategic placement of box culverts, additions or
improvements to wet/dry detention basins, and the re-grading of swales. This improvement will remedy a
long time problem associated with storm water mitigation and/or detention.
Leica Microsystems established their North American headquarters in Buffalo Grove in 2010. The
company is a world leader in microscopes and scientific instruments. The business occupies 63,601 sq. ft.
and employs 185 people.
Awards and acknowledgments.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Village of Buffalo Grove for its comprehensive annual financial
report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This was the twenty-ninth consecutive year
that the government has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of
Achievement, the government published an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report
satisfies both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
lV
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of
the entire staff of the Finance Department especially Assistant Finance Director Katie Skibbe. Credit also
must be given to the Village President and Board of Trustees for their unfailing support for maintaining the
highest standards of professionalism in the management of the Village of Buffalo Grove.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information for the Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2010, which collectively comprise the Village's basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents. These fmancial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Village of Buffalo Grove,
Illinois. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information ofthe Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, as of December 31,2010, and the respective changes in financial
position and cash flows, where applicable thereof, for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The required supplementary information which includes management's discussion and analysis (pages 2 through 14),
budgetary comparison information, and pension and other post-employment related information (pages 63 to 67) is not
a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures which consisted principally of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information.
However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
financial statements of the Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois. The combining, and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and other schedules listed in the table of contents as supplementary information (pages 68 to 95), are
presented for purposes of additional analysis, and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in
our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying introductory section and statistical section listed in the table of contents are presented for additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. This information has not been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on
them.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2010
The Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) offers the readers of the Village of Buffalo Grove's financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Village of Buffalo Grove for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 20 I 0. This information presented here should be considered in conjunction with
additional information provided in the letter of transmittal, which is found on pages ii-v.
Financial Highlights
• The assets ofthe Village exceeded its liabilities at December 31, 2010 by $123.5 million (net assets). Net
assets for governmental activities account for $70.4 million or 57% of the total and business-type activities
account for $53.1 million. Of this amount, $30.4 million is umestricted and may be used to meet the
Village's ongoing obligations to residents and creditors.
• The Village's net assets decreased by $2.6 million (or 2%) during the fiscal year ending December 31,
2010. The governmental net assets decreased by $.9 million and the business-type activities net assets
decreased by $1.7 million.
• As of December 31, 2010, the Village of Buffalo Grove's General Fund reported combined ending fund
balances of$18.9 million, a decrease of$.7 million from the prior year. Of this amount, $9.6 million was
umeserved and undesignated.
• The Village added an electricity and natural gas use tax increasing revenue by approximately $2.4 million.
• The Village issued $2.6 million in General Obligation Bonds during the year to fund drainage
improvements at various locations within the municipality. An additional $5.16 million in general
obligation bonds were issued to refund existing debt. During the debt issuance process, Standard and
Poor's and Moody's Investor Services assigned a credit rating of AAA to the Village, lowering the
borrowing costs on both the new and refunding bonds.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion is meant as an introduction to the Village's basic financial statements. The Village of Buffalo
Grove's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2)
fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the fmancial statements. Also included in the report is required
supplementary information. The financial statement's focus is on both the Village as a whole (government-wide)
and on the major individual funds. The purpose of presenting both perspectives is to provide the user of the
document an expanded basis for comparison (year-to-year or government-to-government) and enhance the
accountability ofthe Village.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (found on pages 15 to 18) are designed to provide readers with a broad
overview of the Village's finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business. The focus of the Statement ofNet
Assets is designed to be similar in bottom line results for the Village and its governmental and business-type
activities. This statement combines and consolidates governmental funds current financial resources (short-term
spendable resources) with capital assets and long-term obligations. It uses the accrual basis of accounting and
economic resources measurement focus.
The Statement of Activities is focused on both the gross and net cost of various activities (including governmental
and business-type), that are supported by the government's general taxes and other resources. This is intended to
summarize and simplify the user's analysis of the cost of various governmental services and/or subsidy to various
business-type activities.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONT.)
December 31, 2010
The Statement of Net Assets reports information on all of the Village's assets and liabilities, with the difference
being reported as net assets. Changing of the net asset total over time can be one useful indicator in assessing the
financial position of the Village. The Statement of Activities demonstrates how the net assets changed during the
most recent fiscal period.
The Village's governmental activities reflect the Village's basic services, including police, frre, public works,
building and zoning, and administration. Property taxes, shared state and home rule sales tax, shared state income
tax, real estate transfer tax, prepared food and beverage tax, and telecommunication tax finance the majority of these
services. The Business-type Activities reflect private sector type operations and include Water and Sewer Funds,
Refuse Fund, Buffalo Grove Golf Course and Arboretum Golf Course. The intent is for the fees to cover the costs of
operations and debt service expenses.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities or objectives. The Village uses fund accounting to insure and demonstrate fiscal accountability
and legal compliance. All of the funds of the Village can be divided into three categories: governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds (see pages 19 to 22) are used to account for primarily the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The focus, unlike the government-wide
financial statement, is on the sources and uses of available resources (cash and cash equivalents), in order to provide
a near, or short-term view of the Village's operations. This information is useful in the evaluation of short-term
financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide fmancial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance
sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The Village of Buffalo Grove maintains eight individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in
the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances for the General Fund, which is classified as a major fund. Data on the other seven
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these
nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in the report.
Proprietary Funds (see pages 23 to 26, 80 to 86) are used to report the same functions presented as business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements. The Village uses Proprietary Funds to account for its water
and sewer utility, refuse service, and activities at the Buffalo Grove and Arboretum Golf Courses. Proprietary
Funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The
Proprietary Fund fmancial statements provide separate information for the Water and Sewerage Fund and the
Arboretum Golf Fund as they are considered to be major funds. The basic Proprietary Fund financial statements can
be found on pages 23 to 26 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds (see pages 27 and 28, 87 to 91) are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. Fiduciary Funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the Village's own programs. The accounting used for Fiduciary
Funds is much like that used for Enterprise Funds. The basic Fiduciary Fund financial statements can be found on
pages 27 and 28 of this report.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONT.)
December 31, 2010
Infrastructure Assets
The Village's infrastructure including streets, land (including right-of-way), and storm sewers are reported within
the Governmental column in the government-wide statements. The Village has chosen to depreciate assets over
their estimated useful lives. If a road project is considered maintenance-a recurring cost that does not extend the
road's original useful life or expand its capacity-the cost of the project will be expensed. An "overlay" of a road
will be considered maintenance whereas a "rebuild" of a road will be capitalized.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As previously reported, the assets of the Village of Buffalo Grove exceeded liabilities by $123.5 million as of
December 31, 2010. The largest portion of the Village's net assets reflects its investment in capital assets
($92.2 million or 75%) including land, buildings, infrastructure, and equipment, less any outstanding debt related to
the original acquisition. The Village uses these capital assets to help facilitate service delivery to its residents,
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Village's investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay the debt must be provided
from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to reduce these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Village's net assets ($1 million) would represent resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. This amount is restricted for construction obligations. The remaining balance
of unrestricted net assets ($30.5 million or 25%) may be used to meet the government's ongoing service obligations
to residents and provide for payments to all creditors. At the end of the current fiscal period, the Village is able to
report positive balances in all three categories of net assets for the government as a whole.
There was one debt financed capital project initiated during the fiscal year. $2.6 million in general obligation bonds
were issued to complete drainage improvements at targeted problematic locations within the Village.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONT.)
December 31, 2010
Revenues for the Village's governmental activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $37.3 million, an
increase of $4.1 million. In fiscal year 2010, an electricity and natural gas use tax was adopted adding approximately
$2.4 million in new revenue. The economy continues to impact retail sales taxes, telecommunications tax, real
estate transfer tax, and interest income. Expenditures for the fiscal year exceeded revenues, resulting in a decrease
in net assets, before transfers, of $1.1 million.
There are four basic impacts on revenues as listed below:
• Economic Condition -which can reflect a declining, stable or growing economic environment and has a
substantial impact on state income and sales tax revenue as well as public spending habits for housing
construction, home improvements, recreation, and water consumption.
• Increase/Decrease in Village Approved Rates -while certain tax rates are set by statute, the Village Board
has significant authority to impose and periodically increase/decrease rates (water, licensing and fees, home
rule sales tax, property tax, etc.)
• Changing Patterns in Intergovernmental and Grant Revenue (both recurring and non-recurring) -certain
recurring revenues (state-shared revenues, etc.) may experience significant changes periodically while non-
recurring (or one-time) grants are less predictable and often distorting in their impact on year-to-year
comparisons.
• Market Impacts on Investment Income -the Village's investment portfolio is structured to meet certain
liabilities as they become due and the income generated is subject to market conditions that may cause the
investment income to fluctuate.

The primary reasons for increases in expenses are:
Increase in Authorized Personnel-changes in service demand may cause the Village Board to increase/decrease
authorized staffing. Personnel costs (salary and related benefits) represent approximately 50% of the Village's
operating cost.
Salary Increases (general wage increase and merit)-market adjustments to salary to ensure the Village is able to
attract and retain high level employees.
Inflation -although recent inflation has been fairly muted, the Village is a significant consumer of certain
commodities such as supplies, fuel, and parts. Some purchasing including construction pricing is very sensitive to
commodity-specific increases (e.g., fuel prices).
Business-type Activities.
Revenues for the Village's business-type activities was $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an
increase of $1.4 million. The revenue generated by the water and sewer utility was up nearly $1 million due
primarily to rate changes. The water and sewer system continues to see significant reductions in capital contribution
as the build-out of the community is nearly completed. The Buffalo Grove and Arboretum Golf Courses saw
revenue decline by $0.2 million compared to last year. The economy continues to weigh on the availability of
discretionary spending on recreation. The costs of these activities were $13.8 million. The Statement of Activities
is on pages 17 and 18.

Financial Analysis of the Village's Funds
Governmental Funds
The Village's governmental funds for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflect a combined fund balance of
$22 million in its balance sheet on page I 9. This represents a $.3 million dollar increase over the balance posted last
year. Of the total fund balance of $22 million, $I I. 7 million is unreserved and undesignated indicating availability
for continuing Village services, $1. I million is reserved for prepaid insurance and inventory, $1 million is
designated for the Retiree Health Savings Program, and $8.2 million is designated for capital replacement.
The General Fund is the Village's main operating fund and accounts for core municipal services including public
safety (police and fire), public works, building and zoning, and general administration. As such, it is useful to
review the liquidity of the fund by comparing the unreserved and undesignated fund balance against the operating
General Fund budget. As of December 3 I, 2010, the unreserved and undesignated fund balance represents 32.2% of
the operating budget.
The Fund Balance of the General Fund decreased by $0.7 million or 4% from December 31, 2009 (from
$19.6 million to $18.9 million). The decrease in fund balance was primarily due to additional capital spending and
transfers to both golf courses to support operations.

The General Fund's revenues increased by $3.3 million (11.2%). Approximately $1.9 million of that increase was
due to the addition of the utility use taxes, including electricity and natural gas, to the revenue profile. Property
taxes increased by 4.1% because of increases in the general corporate portion and pension requirements. Sales taxes
net of rebates were up $0.1 million or 1.4%. Telecommunications taxes are down $0.1 million or 4.4% as a result of
a continued weak economy and a reduction in the number of service lines and/or migration to VOIP service. Real
estate transfer taxes were down $0.2 million (28.6%) as available sales property inventories continue to grow.
Interest income also declines as investments continued to mature and are reinvested at much lower rates as most
investments are limited to a duration of less than 36 months. The historically low Federal Funds Rate has a
significant impact on much of the General Fund's investment portfolio.
Of the total fund balance, $8.2 million is unreserved but designated for capital equipment replacement. The Village
maintains a funding schedule for each major piece of capital equipment to ensure funds are available for
replacement upon the end ofthe equipment's effective useful life. Reserved fund balance of$1.1 million includes
$1.0 million in reserves for prepaid casualty and liability insurance and $0.1 million for central garage inventory.

General Fund expenditures increased by $. 7 million (2.I% ). As noted earlier, wages and benefits drive much of the
departmental costs. In 20 I 0 a wage and hiring freeze was instituted. Several vacant positions were not filled
resulting in year over year cost savings.
The surplus of revenues over expenditures was $0.5 million. Adding in the net other financing uses, the net change
to fund balance resulted in a decrease of $0.7 million. The deficit is due to anticipated and budgeted contributions
of $1.2 million to pay-as-you-go fmancing of capital projects in fiscal year 2010, $0.7 million for transfers to the
golf courses (unanticipated), and $0.8 million for spending on capital equipment.

Special Revenue Funds have a combined fund balance of $2.I million as of December 31, 20 I 0 up $0.87 million
from December 3I, 2009. The largest increase was in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund. The Fund accounts for the state-
shared motor fuel tax revenue as well as the corresponding annual street maintenance program that is funded
partially by this state revenue. The Village also contributes .20% of home rule sales tax revenue to the MFT Fund to
offset program variances. Revenues received from the state share of the motor fuel tax were $1.I million. The cost
of the 2010 street maintenance program was $1.5 million. The scope of each year's identified maintenance, as
determined through pavement analysis studies, has surpassed the relatively inelastic source of funding (more
specifically the Motor Fuel Tax allotments). Given both the rise in the cost of maintenance and the declining
revenue, the amount of street surface area repaired each year will decline. The available fund balance for the Motor
Fuel Tax Fund stands at $1 million.
The next largest increase ($.9 million) in fund balance was in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund. The increase
was due primarily to a reduction in pension eligible earnings as several employees retired during the year.
The Debt Service Fund has a fund balance of$.02 million as of the end ofFY 2010, an increase of$.03 million from
the previous year. Two bond issues occurred in 2010. Series 2010A general obligation bonds refunded $5.16
million in existing debt taking advantage of a bond rating upgrade (AAA) by both Standard and Poor's and Moody's
Investor Services rating houses. $2.6 million in new debt (Series 20IB general obligation bonds) was issued to
address various drainage issues throughout the Village. Total debt outstanding is $8.3 million and consists of
general obligation bonds.

The Village's Capital Improvement Funds (Facilities and Streets) have a total fund balance of $.9 million, which is
unchanged from December 31, 2009. Significant projects completed were the White Pines Drainage Ditch, Old
Checker Road Culvert Improvement, and engineering on the Village-wide Drainage Improvement Project, and the
engineering study on the Weiland Road Corridor project. The Village-wide Drainage Improvement Project will
ultimately be debt financed.
Proprietary Funds
The Village of Buffalo Grove's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-
wide fmancial statements, but in more detail.
The Village reports the Water and Sewer Fund as a major proprietary fund. The Water and Sewer Fund accounts for
all of the operations of the municipal water system. Water is purchased wholesale from the City of Evanston
through the Northwest Water Commission of which the Village is one of four members. Sanitary sewer service is
provided by the Lake County Public Works Department for those property owners in Lake County. The Village acts
as a billing partner to reduce administrative costs. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago
handles all the sanitary sewer treatment for Cook County residents and recovers its expenses through a property tax
levy.
The water and sewer utility experienced a net loss before contributions and transfers of $0.7 million for FY20 10 as
compared to a net loss of $1.9 million in the prior year. Operating income increased $1.1 million due to a 24%
increase in water rates effective January 1, 2010. Total water consumption was 4.2% less than the previous year.
Assets decreased $1.5 million due to reduced developer contributions and the impact of depreciation.
Purchased water expense and sanitary sewer fees collected on behalf of Lake County Public Works for FY2010
accounted for 47% of the total operating expense of the fund. Purchased water expense was unchanged from the
prior year. Other operating expense decreased $0.1 million (or 1%) during 2010 primarily due to inflation and the
change in presentation of the Village's equity position within the Northwest Water Commission.
Non-operating revenue (expense) increased $0.5 million compared to the prior year due to changes in the
presentation of the Village's equity position within the Northwest Water Commission.
Unrestricted net assets of the Water and Sewer Fund at the end of the current fiscal year were $14.5 million. Of this
amount, $7.7 million is available to cash finance any major infrastructure improvements or enhancements to the
water system. •
The Village also reported the Arboretum Golf Course Fund as a major proprietary fund. This fund accounts for all
operations of the Arboretum Golf Course. The course reported a year-end unrestricted net asset deficit balance of
$.02 million. Total revenues were approximately $.2 million less than the previous year due to an 18.7% decrease in
play. Economic factors combined with a significant amount of poor weather continue to weigh heavily upon the
daily play total. The Village of Buffalo Grove owns and operates two municipal golf courses. Golf play levels
continue to be stagnant given both the economy and the state of the industry. A total of 52,740 paid rounds were
played between the two courses representing an 11.7% decline year over year.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The budget is formally presented to the Village Board in late November or early December. As the Village operates
under the Appropriations Act, a public hearing is conducted after the budget is adopted for public comment on the
Appropriations Ordinance. The Ordinance sets the legal spending ceiling for each fund. The budget is the day-to-
day management tool to ensure fiscal accountability.

The Village maintains assigned "AAA" ratings on its general obligation bonds from both Moody's Investor Service

The total per capita general obligation (GO) debt for the community stands at $191.11 and represents .43% of the
percentage of equalized assessed valuation of the Village.
The Village, under its home rule authority, does not have a legal debt limit.
Detailed information on the Village's long-term debt can be found in Note 6 on pages 40 to 42.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
The Village of Buffalo Grove continues to see revenues impacted by the recessionary economy. Despite stagnant
revenues, the Village did enter 2011 with a balanced operating budget. The budget for the fiscal year beginning
January I, 2011, is $59,501,913, a 4.6% decrease from the previous year. The operating budget totals $33,020,540,
a 0.2% decrease. Total capital spending during the year is estimated to be $7.7 million.
The Village's share of the state sales and income tax plus the property tax continue to represent the largest portion of
the General Corporate Fund Revenue. While the State of Illinois raised the individual income tax rate to 5% and the
Corporate Income Tax Rate to 7%, the local government share of the distribution was lowered from 10% to 6%.
While the net impact is zero, local governmental will watch closely a future attempt to reduce amounts distributed to
the local government.
The taxable value of property in the Village dropped by 5% for the 2010 tax levy extended in 2011. The 2010
Corporate Fund Levy increased by 2.9% from the previous year, pension funds grew by 2.8%, and the debt service
levy grew by 39.18% reflecting smaller tax abatement in 2011.
In fiscal year 2011, the Village will continue to look for additional funding to supplement the motor fuel tax. The
Village will continue to transfer 20% of home rule sales tax proceeds to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund to partially offset
the variance in annual street maintenance costs versus the revenue generated by the Motor Fuel Tax Fund. The
estimated Motor Fuel Tax allotment budgeted for next year will only cover 50% of the estimated expenditures. This
source of revenue will continue to be a challenge as collections are based upon units of gas sold and not as a
percentage of sales. As driving and commuting patterns change to offset some of the high oil costs so will the
demand for fuel.
Water and sewer rates will not be increased in FY2011 but will be reviewed for FY2012. The consumption trends
have dropped significantly over the last few years due to inclement weather, a weak economy, and conservation
efforts.

The Village continues to suffer from the resale housing market which in the past has generated consistent revenue
from the assessment of a local real estate transfer tax. It is anticipated the FY 20 ll will be as challenging as
FY 20 I 0. For FY20 ll. it is estimated that the tax generated from the Real Estate Transfer Tax will be $439,000, a

Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Net Assets
December 31, 20 1 0
Total Fund Balances -Governmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets
are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and,
therefore, are not reported in the funds.
An internal service fund is used to charge the cost of health insurance to the
Village's various departments. The assets and liabilities of the internal service
funds are included in the governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets.
Some assets (liabilities) reported in the Statement of Net Assets do not provide or require
the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as assets (liabilities)
in the governmental funds. These assets (liabilities) consist of:
Net Pension Asset
Net Other Post-Employment Obligation
Other Liabilities to Pension Funds
General Obligation Bonds Payable
Accumulated Unpaid Sick Leave
Deferred charges are amortized on the Statement of Activities, but are expensed
in the year in which they were incurred in the governmental funds.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes
in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
Year Ended December 31,2010
Net Change in Fund Balances -Total Governmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities
are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures while
governmental activities report depreciation expense to allocate
those expenditures over the life of the assets. This is the amount
by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation in the current
period ($3,341,861 current additions less $2,644,202 depreciation).
Repayment of principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds,
but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of
Net Assets.
Issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, while the refunding and repayment of long-term debt
consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets.
Issuance of long-term debt
Refunding of long-term debt
Premiums and other items from bond issuance are reported currently in the
fund statements, but amortized over the bond life in the Statement of Activities.
Premium on issuance of debt, net of current amortization
Bond issuance costs, net of current amortization
Loss on bond refunding, net of current amortization
An internal service fund is used to charge the cost of health insurance
to Village departments. The net revenue (expenses) of the internal
service fund is reported within governmental activities.
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not
require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are
not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. These
activities consist of:
Depreciated Value on Disposal of Capital Assets
Change in Pension (Obligation) Asset
Increase in Net Other Post-Employment Obligation
Increase in Accumulated Unpaid Sick Leave
Change in Net Assets of Governmental Activities

I. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois (Village) was incorporated March 7, 1958. The Village operates under a
Council-Manager form of govermnent and provides the following services as authorized by its articles of
incorporation: public safety, waterworks, sewerage, building and zoning, engineering, recreation, civil defense
and overall administration.
A Financial Reporting Entity
The Village is a municipal corporation governed by an elected board. As required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these fmancial statements present the
Village (the primary govermnent) and its component units. In evaluating how to defme the reporting
entity, management has considered all potential component units. The decision to include a potential
component unit in the reporting entity was made based upon the significance of their operational or
financial relationships with the primary govermnent. Financial accountability is defined as:
(1) Appointment of a voting majority of the component unit's board and either (a) the ability to impose
will by the primary govermnent, or (b) the possibility that the component unit will provide a
financial benefit to, or impose a financial burden on, the primary govermnent; or
(2) Fiscal dependency on the primary govermnent.
The accompanying fmancial statements present the Village of Buffalo Grove. The Village has determined
that no other entity meets the above criteria and, therefore, no other entity has been included as a
component unit in the Village's financial statements.
B. Govermnent-wide and Fund Financial Statements
Government-wide Financial Statements
The govermnent-wide Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities report the overall financial
activity of the Village. Eliminations generally have been made to minimize the double-counting of
internal activities of the Village; however, interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the
process of consolidation. The fmancial activities of the Village consist of govermnental activities, which
are primarily supported by taxes and intergovermnental revenues, and business-type activities, which rely
to a significant extent on fees and charges for services.
The Statement of Net Assets presents the Village's non-fiduciary assets and liabilities with the difference
reported in three categories:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation and reduced by outstanding balances for bonds and other debt that are attributable to the
acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
Restricted net assets result when constraints placed on net asset use are either externally imposed by
creditors, grantors, contributors, and the like, or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net assets consist of net assets that do not meet the criteria of the two preceding
categories.

Government-wide Financial Statements (Cont.)
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function (i.e.
general government, public safety, etc.) are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients
of goods or services offered by the programs (including fines and fees), and (b) grants and contributions
that are restricted to meeting the operational requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not
classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide fmancial statements.
Fund Financial Statements:
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary
(agency) funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. The
fund fmancial statements provide information about the Village's funds. The emphasis of fund fmancial
statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. The Village has the
following major governmental fund -General Fund. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated
and reported as nonmajor governmental funds. The Village has the following major proprietary funds -
Waterworks and Sewerage Fund and Arboretum Golf Course Fund. All remaining proprietary funds are
aggregated and reported as nonmajor proprietary funds.
The Village administers the following major governmental funds:
General Fund -This is the Village's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of
the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The services
which are administered by the Village and accounted for in the General Fund include general
government, public safety and public works.
The Village administers the following major proprietary funds:
Waterworks and Sewerage Fund-This fund accounts for the provision of water and sewer services
to the residents of the Village. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in
this fund, including but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, financing and related
debt service and billing and collection.
Arboretum Golf Course Fund-This fund accounts for the operation of the Arboretum golf course.
All activities necessary to provide the service are accounted for in this fund including, but not limited
to, administration, operations, maintenance and related debt service.
The Village also administers one internal service fund, the Health Insurance Reserve Fund, to account for
the activities of its self-insured health benefits program.
Additionally, the Village administers fiduciary funds (pension trust and agency) for assets held by the
Village in a fiduciary capacity. Included are the Village's Police Pension Fund and Firefighters' Pension
Fund which accumulate resources for the retirement annuity payments to sworn officers and firefighters.
The Village's agency fund, the School and Parks Donation Fund, accounts for monies deposited by
developers for local schools and park districts.

C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide fmancial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund fmancial statements. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the
related cash flow takes place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the Village gives (or receives) value
without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include various taxes, State shared revenues
and various State, Federal and local grants. On an accrual basis, revenues from taxes are recognized when
the Village has a legal claim to the resources. Grants, entitlements, State-shared revenues and similar
items are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met.
Governmental funds are reported using the current fmancial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and
available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Village considers
revenues to be available if they are collected within 90 days of the end of the current fiscal year (60 days
for property taxes).
Significant revenue sources which are susceptible to accrual include property taxes, other taxes including
sales, telecommunications, income, and prepared food and beverage taxes, grants, charges for services, and
interest. All other revenue sources are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is
received.
Expenditures generally are recorded when the liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However,
compensated absences are recorded only when payment is due (upon employee retirement or termination).
General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December l, I989, generally
are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those
standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the proprietary fund's
principal ongoing operations.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Village's policy to use the
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. '
D. Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Village considers all highly liquid investments (including
restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

invested in stocks, bonds, and real estate, limited to 10.00% of the funds' investments; (3) certain equities
(subject to limitations).
F. Investments
Investments are stated at fair value.
G. Inventory and Prepaid Items
Inventories, consisting of golf pro shop merchandise and central garage fuel reserves and parts, are stated
at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value). The costs of governmental fund-type
inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items/expenses.
H. Interfund Receivables/Payables
The Village has the following types of transactions between funds:
Loans and Advances -amounts provided with a requirement for repayment. In the fund financial
statements, interfund loans are reported as due from other funds in lender funds and due to other funds in
borrower funds. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type
activities are reported as internal balances in the government-wide statement of net assets.
Services Provided and Used -sales and purchases of goods and services between funds for a price
approximating their external exchange value. Interfund services provided and used are reported as
revenues in seller funds and expenditures or expenses in purchaser funds. Unpaid amounts are reported as
due to/from other funds in the fund balance sheets or fund statements of net assets.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)
H. Interfund Receivables/Payables (Cont.)
Reimbursements -repayments from the funds responsible for particular expenditures or expenses to the
funds that initially paid for them. Reimbursements are reported as expenditures in the reimbursing fund
and as a reduction of expenditures in the reimbursed fund.
Transfers-flows of assets (such as cash or goods) without equivalent flows of assets in return and without
a requirement for repayment. In governmental funds, transfers are reported as other financing uses in the
funds making transfers and as other financing sources in the funds receiving transfers. In proprietary
funds, transfers in/out are reported as a separate category after nonoperating revenues and expenses.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets which include land, land improvements, streets, buildings, storm sewers, sanitary sewers,
water mains, vehicles and equipment are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type
activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defmed as assets with
an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year.
Additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset, or that significantly
increase the capacity of an asset, are capitalized. Expenditures for asset acquisitions and improvements are
stated as capital outlay expenditures in the governmental funds.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets is reflected in the capitalized value of the
asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend
the assets' lives are not capitalized.
Depreciation of capital assets is recorded in the Statement of Activities with accumulated depreciation
reflected in the Statement of Net Assets and is provided on the straight-line basis over the following
estimated useful lives:
Buildings
Well and System Improvements
Furniture and Equipment
Vehicles
20 years
5-50 years
2-10 years
2-12 years
Gains or losses from sales or retirements of capital assets are included in the operations on the Statement
of Activities.
J. Deferred and Unearned Revenue
The Village defers revenue recognition in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet
earned.
Governmental funds report deferred revenue in connection with receivables for revenues that are not
considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period.

K. Sick Leave, Vacation Pay and Postretirement Benefits
Vacation pay does vest; employees may carry over vacation time equivalent of one full year's allowance.
All vacation hours carried over from the previous year must be used in the current year or be subject to
forfeit. Terminees are reimbursed for any accumulated and earned vacation pay. The amounts of such
accumulated vacation benefits are not material. In the event of termination, any vested amounts due to
Village employees for accumulated unused sick leave will be paid to ICMA Retirement Corporation based
on the formula set forth in the Village's personnel manual. Except for those amounts for known
retirements in the upcoming year, accrued amounts are generally considered to be noncurrent. Amounts
are reported as liabilities in the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets. No liability is recorded for
nonvesting accumulating rights to receive sick pay benefits.
L. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund fmancial statements, long-term debt and
other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental or business-type
activities and proprietary fund statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance
costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bond
issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund fmancial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as
bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other
fmancing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while
discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Debt service funds are specifically established to account for and service the long-term obligations for the
governmental funds debt. Proprietary funds individually account for and service the applicable debt that
benefits those funds. Long-term debt is recognized as a liability in a governmental fund when due, or
when resources have been accumulated for payment early in the following year. For other long-term
obligations, only that portion expected to be financed with available fmancial resources is reported as a
fund liability of a governmental fund.
M. Fund Equity
In the fund fmancial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that
are not available for appropriation or are legally segregated for a specific purpose.
Designated fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources. As of
December 31, the Village reported the following designated amounts:
General Fund-The Village has designated $8,200,194 for the replacement of capital equipment.
Retiree Health Savings Fund-The Village has designated $931,345 for employee benefits.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)
N. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the fmancial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
0. Eliminations and Reclassification
In the process of aggregating data for the government-wide Statement of Activities, some amounts
reported as interfund activity and interfund balances in the funds are eliminated or reclassified.
2. Legal Compliance
The budget data included in the fmancial statements represent the Village's program budget and the
appropriations represent the Village's legal expenditure limit. Budgets are adopted for General, Special Revenue
(except the Retiree Health Savings Fund), Debt Service, Capital Projects, Proprietary, and Pension Trust Funds.
The Internal Service Fund did not adopt a budget. All governmental fund-type budgets and pension trust
fund-type budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP. Proprietary funds are adopted on a basis other
than GAAP in that depreciation expense, income from the joint venture, and contributions from developers are
not budgeted, and principal payments on long-term debt (if any) are budgeted.
The Village Board of Trustees follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary and appropriations data
reflected in the fmancial statements:
(1) The Village Manager submits to the Board a proposed program budget for the fiscal year commencing
January 1. The program budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
(2) Appropriation ordinance public hearings are conducted by the Village to obtain taxpayer comments,
and the ordinance is subsequently adopted by the Board.
(3) The program budget is legally enacted through a resolution adopted by the Board.
(4) Any expenditures that exceed the total appropriations at the fund level must be approved by the Board
of Trustees.
The Village Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund.
However, any modifications to the legally adopted appropriation ordinance may not exceed expenditure limits,
at the fund level, mandated by the appropriation ordinance without approval by the Board.
Appropriations, which are not expended by year-end, lapse and must be reappropriated in the following year for
the expenditure to be made. The Village does not employ the encumbrance method of accounting to reserve
fund balance for subsequent year expenditures.
General Fund actual expenditures for 2010 exceeded final budget by $62,872.

3. Deposits and Investments
Custodial Credit Risk-Deposits. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Village's
deposits may not be returned to it. The Village's policy requires collateralization of all deposits in excess of
FDIC insured limits.
A. Investments
The following schedule reports the fair values and maturities (using the segmented time distribution
method) for the Village's investments in debt securities at December 31,2010:

The Illinois Metropolitan Investment Fund (IMET) and The Illinois Funds Investment Pool (IFIP) are not
registered with the SEC. Oversight for IMET is provided by the IMET Board. The Board is responsible
for policy formulation, as well as policy and administration oversight. Oversight for IFIP is provided by
the Auditor General's Office of the State of Illinois. For both pools, the fair value of the positions in the
pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
B. Interest Rate Risk
The Village's investment policy protects against fair value losses resulting from rising interest rates by
diversifYing its investment portfolio to prevent over-concentration of assets in a specific maturity, a
specific issuer, or a specific class of securities. The Village does not have a formal policy that limits
investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing
interest rates.
C. Credit Risk
The Village's investment policy applies the "prudent person" standard in managing its investment
portfolio. As such, all investments are made with such judgment and care, under circumstances then
prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in management of their own
affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as
the probable income to be derived. The Village's investment policy also limits investments in commercial
paper to the highest rating classifications, as established by at least two of the four major rating services,
and which mature not later than 180 days from the purchase date. Such purchases may not exceed 10% of
the issuer corporation's outstanding obligations.

The Village limits the amount that can be invested in commercial paper to one-third of the Village's total
investments. As of December 31, 20 l 0, the Village's investments were not exposed to concentration of
credit risk.
E. Custodial Credit Risk
The Village's investment policy requires all investments and investment collateral to be held in
safekeeping by a third party custodial institution as designated by the Treasurer, or his designee, in the
Village's name. Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the
Village will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities which are in the
possession of the outside party. At year end the carrying amount of the Village's deposits totaled
$21,322,814 and the bank balances totaled $21,652,129. As of December 31, 2010, $52,185 of the
Village's investments was exposed to custodial credit risk.
4. Receivables-Property Taxes
The Village is a home-rule community under the 1970 Illinois Constitution and, accordingly, does not have a
statutory rate limit.
The Village's property tax is levied each calendar year on all taxable property located in the Village. For
governmental funds only, property taxes collected within the fiscal year, or within 60 days after fiscal year-end,
are recognized as revenue. Amounts not received within 60 days after year-end are reflected as deferred
revenue. Propelty taxes in the proprietary funds and government-wide financial statements are recorded on the
accrual basis.
The County Assessors of Cook and Lake Counties are responsible for assessment of the taxable real property of
the Village lying within their respective counties, One quarter of Lake County is reassessed each year on a
repeating quadrennial schedule established by the Assessor. One-third of Cook County is reassessed each year
on a repeating triennial schedule established by the Assessor.

4. Receivables-Property Taxes (Cont.)
The County Clerks compute the annual tax for each parcel of real property and prepare tax books used by the
County Collectors as the basis for issuing tax bills to all taxpayers in each County.
Property taxes are collected by the County Collectors and are submitted to the County Treasurers, who remit to
the units their respective shares of the collections. Taxes levied in one year become due and payable in two
installments on March I and August 1 during the following year in Cook County and on July 1 and September l
in Lake County. The frrst installment is an estimated bill and is one-half of the prior year's tax bill while the
second installment is based on the current levy, assessment and equalization, and any changes from the prior
year less what was paid as part of the first installment. Taxes must be levied by the third Tuesday in December
for the current levy year. The levy becomes an enforceable lien against the property as of January I of the levy
year.
The 20IO property tax levy is recorded as a receivable and deferred (unearned) revenue as it is intended to
finance fiscal year 2011. Based upon collection histories, the Village has not provided an allowance for
uncollectible real property taxes. All uncollected taxes relating to prior years' levies have been written off.

On April 19,2010, the Village issued $5,160,000 in General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2010A, with
interest rates of 2%-4% to advance refund $3,645,000 of outstanding 200 IA Series bonds with interest rates of
4.5%-4.9%, and $1,455,000 of outstanding 20018 Series bonds with interest rates of 4.35%-4.4%. The net
proceeds of $5,218,242 (after payment of underwriting fees, insurance, and other issuance costs) were used to
purchase U.S. government securities. Those securities were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow
agent to provide all future debt service payments on the 2001A and B Series bonds. As a result the 2001 A and
8 Series bonds are considered to be defeased and the liability tor those bonds has been removed from the
Village's financial statements.
Although the advanced refunding resulted in the recognition of an accounting loss of $118,242 tor the year
ended December 31,2010, the Village in effect reduced its aggregate debt service payments by $495,796 over
the next ll years and obtained an economic gain (difference between the present values of the old and new debt
service payments) of$436,120.

A. Illinois Municipal Retirement
Plan Description
The Village's defmed benefit pension plan for regular employees provides retirement and disability
benefits, post-retirement increases, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The Village plan
is affiliated with the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), an agent multiple-employer plan.
Benefit provisions are established by statute and may only be changed by the General Assembly of the
State of Illinois. IMRF issues a publicly available financial report that includes fmancial statements and
required supplementary information. That report may be obtained on-line at www.imif.org.
Funding Policy
As set by statute, employer regular plan members are required to contribute 4.50% of their annual covered
salary. The statutes require employers to contribute the amount necessary, in addition to member
contributions, to finance the retirement coverage of its own employees. The employer contribution rate for
calendar year 2010 was 12.62% of annual covered payroll. The Village also contributes for disability
benefits, death benefits and supplemental retirement benefits, all of which are pooled at the IMRF level.
Contribution rates for disability and death benefits are set by the IMRF Board of Trustees, while the
supplemental retirement benefits rate is set by statute.
Annual Pension Cost
The Villages annual pension cost of $1,064,445 for the regular plan was equal to the Village's required
and actual contributions.

The required contribution was determined as part of the December 3 1, 2008 actuarial valuation using the
entry age normal actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions at December 31, 2007 included (a)
7.5% investment rate of return (net of administrative and direct investment expenses); (b) projected salary
increases of 4.00% a year, attributable to inflation; (c) additional projected salary increases ranging from
OA% to 10% per year depending on age and service, attributable to seniority/merit; and (d) post-retirement
benefit increases of 3% annually. The actuarial value of the Village's regular plan assets was determined
using techniques that spread the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a
five-year period with a 20% corridor between the actuarial and market value of assets. The Village's
regular plan's unfunded actuarial accrued liability at December 31, 2008 is being amortized as a level
percentage of payroll on an open 30 year basis.
Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of December 31 2010, the regular plan was 73.23~~ funded. The actuarial liability tor benefits was
$27,438,537 and the actuarial value of assets was $20,093,313. resulting in an underfunded actuarial
accrued liability (UAAL) of$7,354,224. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered
by the plan) was $8,434,588 and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 87%.
The Schedule of Funding Progress, presented as Required Supplementary Information following the Notes
to the Financial Statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan
assets in increasing or decreasing overtime relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans for Public Safety Employees
The information included in sections 8 through F pertaining to the Village's Police and Firefighters' pension
funds is based on actuarial valuations perfonned December 31, 2009. Those actuarial valuations were
performed to determine the Village's required contributions and annual pension costs for those plans for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 2010.

The Village's annual other post-employment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the
annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with
the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing
basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or
funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the
Village's annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the
Village's net OPEB obligation to the Plan:
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $ 122,505
Interest on the Net OPEB Obligation 10,233
Adjustment to Annual Required Contribution (6,822)

Net OPEB Liability at December 31, 2010 $ 262,328
*Adjusted to reflect 2010 actuarial valuation.
The Village's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net

Funding Status and Funding Progress
As of December 31, 2010, the plan was 100% unfunded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was
$2,108,079, and the actuarial value of assets was $0 (zero), resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued
liability (VAAL) of $2,108,079. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the
plan) was $21,307,066, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 9.89%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to
continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about
the future. The Schedule of Funding Progress, presented as Required Supplementary Information
following the Notes to the Financial Statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the
actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued
liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for fmancial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan
members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed
to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets,
consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the December 31, 2009 actuarial valuation, the entry age actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial
assumptions included a 5.0% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), which is a blended
rate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and on the employer's own investments
calculated based on the funded level of the plan at the valuation date, and an annual healthcare cost trend
rate of 8% initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 6% ultimately. Both rates included a
3.0% inflation assumption. The actuarial value of assets was determined using market value. The UAAL
is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization
period at December 31, 2009 was 30 years.
8. Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
The Village is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently
determinable, in the opinion of the Village's attorney, the resolution of these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the fmancial condition of the Village.
Northwest Water Commission (NWWC)
The Village's water purchase contract with the Northwest Water Commission (Note ll.B) provides that each

10. Risk Management
The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; natural disasters; and injuries to the Village's employees. The Village currently reports all
its risk management activities related to its participation in the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency in
its General Fund and Waterworks and Sewerage Fund. Beginning in fiscal year 2006, the Village elected to
self-insure its health claims program. The Village accounts for this activity in an internal service fund -the
Health Insurance Reserve Fund.
The Village participates in the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency {IRMA). IRMA is an organization
of municipalities and special districts in Northeastern Illinois, which have formed an association under the
Illinois Intergovernmental Cooperation Statute to pool its risk management needs. The agency administers a
mix of self-insurance and commercial insurance coverages; property/casualty and workers' compensation claim
administration/litigation management services; unemployment claim administration; extensive risk
management/loss control consulting and training programs; and a risk information system and financial
reporting service for its members.
The Village's payments to IRMA are displayed on the financial statements as expenditures/expenses in
appropriate funds. Each member assumes the first $1,000 of each occurrence for years prior to 2004, and $2,500
for each occurrence in 2004 and subsequent years. Beginning in 2005, members were given the option to
assume higher deductibles. IRMA has a mix of self-insurance and commercial insurance at various amounts
above that level.
Each member appoints one delegate, along with an alternate delegate, to represent the member on the Board of
Directors. The Village does not exercise any control over the activities of the Agency beyond its representation
on the Board of Directors.
Initial contributions are determined each year based on the individual member's eligible revenue as defined in
the by-laws of IRMA, experience modification factors based on past member loss experience, and optional
deductible credits. Members have a contractual obligation to fund any deficit of IRMA attributable to a
membership year during which they were a member. Supplemental contributions may be required to fund these
deficits.
There has be((n no reduction in the Village's insurance coverage for any of its programs since the prior fiscal
year. Settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage for the current year or prior three fiscal years.
The Village reports its risks of loss for health claims in the Health Insurance Reserve Fund, which is reported as
an internal service fund. The self-insurance liability includes an estimate of incurred but not reported claims.
A reconciliation of the total claims liability for 2008 through 2010 is below:

Total Direct and Overlapping Debt $ 6,263,490,892 85,662,668
*Determined by ratio of assessed valuation of property subject to taxation in the Village of Buffalo Grove to valuation of
property subject to overlapping unit.
Note. Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the Village.
This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by
the residents and businesses of the Village of Buffalo Grove. This process recognizes that, when considering
the government's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and
businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and
therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
