VILLAGE OF
BUFFALO GROVE
April 29, 2019
The Honorable Beverly Sussman
Members of the Village Board
Citizens of the Village of Buffalo Grove
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the Village of Buffalo Grove for the year ended December 31,
2018 is submitted herewith. This report represents a comprehensive picture of the Village’s financial activities during Fiscal
Year 2018 and the financial condition of its various funds at December 31, 2018. State law requires that all general-purpose
local governments publish within six months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of financial statements
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed 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.
Lauterbach & Amen, Independent Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the
Village’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The independent auditors’ report is presented
at the front of the financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial
statements in the form of a Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). The letter of transmittal is designated to
complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Village of Buffalo Grove’s MD&A can be found
immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
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 9.2 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. As a home rule entity, the Village has no tax rate or
debt limits, nor is it required to conduct a referendum to authorize the issuance of debt or to increase property taxes.
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 policies, ordinances and resolutions of the
Village Board, developing and presenting an annual budget, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Village, and
appointing department directors.
Department of Finance &
General Services Fifty Raupp Blvd. Buffalo Grove, IL. 60089-2100 Phone 847-459-2500 Fax 847-459-0332

The Village provides a full range of services including police and fire protection, construction and
maintenance of streets and infrastructure, planning and zoning, water and sewer utilities, and general
administrative services. The Village also operates two golf courses and a municipal commuter parking lot.
To provide these services there were 214 full-time and 56 part-time/seasonal positions in the Fiscal Year
2018 annual budget.
Budgetary Control and Accounting Systems
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village’s financial planning and as a management
spending control document. All departments of the Village of Buffalo Grove are required to submit budget
requests by a specified date each year. These requests serve as the starting point for budget development. The
proposed budget is presented to the Village Board in November and adopted by ordinance in December
concurrently with the property tax levy.
Legal spending thresholds are established through the annual budget under the budget officer method. The
Village Board is required to hold a public hearing on the budget document and must adopt a final budget no
later than December 31st of each year. The budget is prepared by fund, and department program. Department
directors may make transfers of budget allocations within a department. Transfers of budget allocations
between fund/account groups, however, require the approval of the Village Board. All budget adjustments
must be approved by the Village Board to amend the legal spending thresholds.
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
Local Economy
The Village is primarily residential, with supporting commercial activity and limited industrial and
manufacturing activity. There are approximately 807 licensed businesses operating in the Village. The
majority of residents are employed in management, professional, sales and office occupations. The Village’s
unemployment statistics have consistently beat the national and state averages, with an unemployment rate
at the end of the year at 3.4 percent besting the state by 0.9 percent.
External economic factors at the national and state level continue to impact the Village’s revenue profile and,
subsequently its ability to manage operating and capital resources.
· Property tax collections totaled $15,980,771 which is an increase from the previous year’s total of
$15,510,127, an increase of 3.0 percent.
· Water and Sewer collections increased from $11,060,938 in 2017 to $11,140,843 in 2018. A total
increase of 0.7 percent.
· Sales taxes, both state shared and home rule, generated $10,159,866 in 2018 versus $9,229,253 in
2018, an increase of 10.1 percent.
The Village equalized assessed valuation increased by $46 million or 2.8 percent to $1.66 billion in the 2017
levy year. The increase is due primarily to the triennial and quadrennial assessments in Lake and Cook
Counties respectively.

The unassigned fund balance of the General Fund will again exceed the 25 percent threshold of the
subsequent year’s budgeted expenditures, less non-operating transfers, which is policy established by the
Village Board.

* Budget number includes employer pension costs beginning in FY 2013.
Long-Term Financial Planning
The Village compiles a General Fund Five-Year Financial Forecast annually which provides an analysis of
future revenue and expenditures. This report is completed in tandem with the start of the annual budget
process. Other long-range financial plans include the five-year Capital Improvement Plan, Twenty-Year
Water Fund Pro-Forma, and a Twenty-Year Storm Sewer Pro Forma.
The Village assesses its capital needs through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) update. This document is
a planning tool to identify short and medium term capital needs (facilities, infrastructure 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 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 $48.4 million in capital
improvements. Transportation-related projects represent a large percentage of the improvements at $28.3
million. Routine maintenance of existing streets accounts for $20 million of those projects. Approximately
$12.9 million is allocated to improving and maintaining the water utility system.
The Twenty-Year Water Fund Pro-Forma provides an overview of the Water Fund and adequacy of the
current water rate to fund operating expenses and infrastructure improvements as well as generating a reserve
to continue with a pay-as-you-go approach to capital budgeting. The Reserve for Capital Replacement
Funding Report lists all Village owned vehicles, the service life, and its respective reserve balance.
Major Initiatives
In 2018, the Village of Buffalo Grove issued over 2,500 commercial and residential building permits. These
permits represent a total project valuation of over $50,000,000 invested into the Buffalo Grove community.
In addition to building permit activity, the following major projects were approved in 2018:
Woodman’s Food Markets and Shorewood Development Group opened a 25-acre commercial development
at the western corners of Deerfield Parkway and Milwaukee Avenue. The development is anchored by a
242,000 square foot Woodman’s Food Market located on the northwest corner of the intersection.
Woodman’s also opened a fuel center, convenience store, quick lube and carwash on the north side of
Deerfield Parkway.
In conjunction with the aforementioned Woodman’s project, Shorewood Development Group is planning the
Shops of Buffalo Grove. This development comprises seven acres at the southwest corner of Deerfield Road

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
April 29, 2019
The Honorable Village President
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Buffalo Grove,
Illinois, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Village’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Village’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
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 of the Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, as of December
31, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for
the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis as listed in the table of contents and budgetary information reported in the required
supplementary information as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting
for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We
have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency
with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we
obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to
express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois’ basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules, supplemental
schedules, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules and
supplemental schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and
certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund
financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules and supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS
VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2018
The Village of Buffalo Grove’s 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, 2018. This information presented here should be considered in
conjunction with additional information provided in the letter of transmittal, which is found on pages 3 - 6.
Financial Highlights
· The assets and deferred outflows of the Village exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at December 31,
2018 by $58.0 million (net position). The Net Position for governmental activities is $9.9 million or 17.1 percent
of the total, and business-type activities account for $48.1 million. Of this amount, ($29.8) million is
unrestricted, the negative amount of unrestricted assets is directly related to the recognition of all retirement
obligations in noncurrent liabilities, which increased to $88.6 million from $74.0 million in 2017.
· The Village’s total debt decreased by $1.2 million (or 5.7 percent). Total general bonded debt outstanding is
$13.1 million as of December 31, 2018. The Village retired the line of credit for the Emerald Ash Borer Project
in fiscal year 2018. The General Fund transferred $5.7 million from fund balance to the Capital Projects Fund.
· The Village’s net position decreased by $0.3 million (or less than one percent) during the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2018. The governmental net position decreased by $1.3 million (11.3 percent) and the
business-type activities net position increased by $1.0 million (2.1 percent).
· As of December 31, 2018, the Village of Buffalo Grove’s General Fund reported ending fund balances of
$24.6 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from the prior year. Of this amount, $17.0 million was unassigned.
· Beginning net position was restated due to the Village implementing GASB Statement No. 75.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The MD&A is intended to serve 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 financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements
The government-wide financial statements (found on pages 26 - 29) are designed to provide readers with a broad
overview of the Village’s finances statements similar to the corporate sector in that all governmental and business-type
activities are consolidated into columns that add to total for the Primary Government.
The statement of net position presents information on all assets and deferred outflows and liabilities and deferred
inflows, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Changing of the net position total over time can
be one useful indicator in assessing the financial position of the Village. This statement combines and consolidates
governmental funds’ current financial resources (short-term spendable resources) with capital assets and long-term
obligations using the accrual basis of accounting and economic resources measurement focus.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event causing the change occurs,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items
that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes).

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2018
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village that are principally supported by
taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or
a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities
of the Village include public safety (police and fire), public works, streets and sidewalks, community development, and
general government. Property taxes, state and home rule sales tax, shared state income tax, real estate transfer tax,
prepared food and beverage tax, and utility taxes 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, infrastructure replacement, and
debt services 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 ensure 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 30 - 35) 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 financial 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 fund balance sheet and the
governmental fund 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 six individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in
fund balances for the General, Facilities Development, and Street Maintenance Funds, which are classified as major
funds. Data on the other three governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual
fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere
in the report.
Proprietary Funds (see pages 36 - 41) are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in
the government-wide financial statements. The Village uses enterprise 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 financial
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 36 - 41 of this
report.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2018
Fiduciary Funds (see pages 42 - 43) are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are reflected in the government-wide financial statement since the implementation of
GASB 67 &68. The implementation was completed in fiscal year 2015. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is
much like that used for proprietary funds. Notes to the financial statement provide additional information that is essential
to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the
financial statements can be found on pages 44 - 106 of this report.
Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information concerning the budgetary comparison to actual for the general fund, as
well as the Village’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and retiree benefit plans to its employees.

The assets and deferred outflows of the Village of Buffalo Grove exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $58.0
million as of December 31, 2018. The largest portion of the Village’s net position reflects its net investment in capital
assets ($85.9 million). Those capital assets include land, buildings, streets, utility 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 cannot be used to reduce these liabilities.
A portion of the Village’s net position ($1.9 million) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how
they may be used, of that amount $1.2 million is restricted for contractual construction obligations for a road project.
The remaining balance of unrestricted net position (($29.8) million) reduces total net position significantly due to GASB
68 and 75, which requires the Village to show the outstanding retirement obligations in noncurrent liabilities. The total
decrease in unrestricted net position from the prior year is $4.6 million (18.3 percent).
The Village’s combined net position decreased by $0.3 million as a result of governmental activities decreasing by $1.3
million and business-type activities increasing by $1.0 million. The net position of the Village’s governmental fund was
$9.9 million. The Village’s unrestricted net position for governmental activities that are available for day-to-day financial
operations were ($41.1) million compared to ($36.0) million at December 31, 2017. The net position of business-type
activities was $48.1 million. The business type activities unrestricted net position increased by $0.5 million from the
previous year.

Normal Impacts
There are five basic (normal) transactions that will affect the comparability of the Statement of Net Position summary
presentation.
Net Results of Activities – which will impact (increase/decrease) current assets and unrestricted net assets.
Borrowing of Capital – which will increase current assets and long-term debt.
Spending Borrowed Proceeds on New Capital – which will reduce current assets and increase capital assets. There is
a second impact, an increase in invested in capital assets and an increase in related net debt which will not change
the net investment in capital assets.
Reduction of Capital Assets through Depreciation – which will reduce capital assets and net investment in capital
assets.
Current Year Impacts
At the end of the current fiscal year, the Village reported positive balances in all three categories of net position, both
for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.
Within the governmental activities, the Village decrease in “Current and Other Assets” of $1.9 million is attributed to
the $3.4 million pay off of a line of credit. The impact was lessened by increases in property taxes, $0.5 million, state
sales tax, $0.4 million and home rule sales tax, $0.5 million. The Village experienced a decrease in receivables for
real estate transfer taxes in 2018 due to a decrease in the housing stock available. The Village also experienced slight
increases in utility and Telecommunication tax. Utility taxes were up about $0.3 million (12.0 percent), while
Telecommunication was up $0.2 million (13.3 percent). Collectively Income and Use tax are up 8.3 percent, $0.4
million, year over year.
The Village maintained capital improvement and asset purchases in 2018. The Village has adopted a philosophy of
funding capital improvements to a large extent on a pay-as-you –go basis, and retires debt obligations quickly, resulting
in positive net position calculations. Declines in “Capital Assets” are primarily as a result of depreciation.
Changes in Net Position.
The Village’s total revenues and expenses for governmental and business-type activities are reflected in the following

Normal Impacts
Revenues
Economic Condition – which can reflect a declining, stable or growing economic environment and has a substantial
impact on property, sales, income, utility tax revenues as well as public spending habits for building permits, elective
user fees and volumes of consumption.
Increase/Decrease in the Village Approved Rates – while certain tax rates are set by statute, the Village has significant
authority to impose and periodically increase/decrease rates (water, building and licensing fees, ambulance fee, etc.).
Changing patterns in Intergovernmental and Grant Revenue – (both recurring and non-recurring) – certain recurring
revenue (state shared revenues) may experience significant changes periodically while non-recurring (one-time) grants
are less predictable and often distorting in their impact on year-to-year comparisons.
Market Impact 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.
Expenses
Changes in Authorized Personnel – changes in service demand may cause the Village to increase/decrease authorized
staffing.
Salary Increase (general wage adjustments and merit) – compensation adjustments to ensure the Village is able to
attract and retain high level employees.
Inflation – while overall inflation appears to be reasonably modest, the Village is a major consumer of certain
commodities such as supplies, fuels, and parts. Some functions may experience unusual commodity-specific increases
(e.g. fuel, road salt).
Current Year Impacts
Government Activities:
Governmental activities decreased the Village’s net position by $1.3 million to $9.9 million. Significant elements
contributing to this net change are as follows;
Revenues:
Revenues for the Village’s governmental activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $46.1 million an
increase of $0.8 million or 1.8 percent. Property taxes continue to be the Village’s largest source of revenue (34.7
percent) at $16.0 million. Included within the property tax revenues are the pension levies for the Police and Firefighter
Pension Funds and IMRF/Social Security Levies. The pension levies account for 38.2 percent of the property tax levy.
Other taxes and intergovernmental revenue including sales tax, state income tax, utility tax, prepared food and
beverage tax, hotel tax, and real estate transfer tax total $22.0 million or 47.8 percent of total governmental activities
revenue. Property taxes increased by $0.5 million. The increase in the corporate agency tax levy collected in 2018
was 2.0 percent. The corporate levy for 2018, to be collected in 2019, is funding Police and Fire Protection.
16
VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2018
The Police Protection levy increased $0.11 million (3.4 percent) and the Fire Protection Levy increased $0.15 million
(2.8 percent). The total tax levy increased 3.0 percent in total.
Sales and use tax increased by $1.1 million compared to the previous year. The growth in sales tax was 10.7 percent.
Utility taxes are up $0.3 million, or 8.1 percent. The region experienced a cold extended winter, leading to more natural
gas consumption than average. Income taxes continue to rebound increasing $0.3 million from FY 2017, an 8.1 percent
jump. Property transfer taxes have plateaued after six years of consecutive growth due to an inadequate housing stock
to meet demand, this revenue is down 23.1% or $0.3 million. Income tax and sales and use tax are key indicators for
the Village of Buffalo Grove’s local economy and are improving year over year.
Expenses:
The cost of all governmental activities this year was $47.4 million, an increase of 7.2 percent from 2017 ($44.2 million).
The largest increase was made in Public Safety expenses $2.9 million in 2018. Public Works expenses decreased by
$0.6 million (6.1 percent) for a total of $9.2 million dollars.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2018
The Statement of Activities on pages 28 - 29 shows that $4.6 million in revenue was generated to finance the services
rendered by the user fees. Another 1.3 million in revenue was generated by operating and capital grants and other
contributions that was expended for capital improvement.
Business-Type Activities:
Business-type activities net position increased by $1.0 million. Significant changes are noted below.
Revenue:
Water sales decreased $.3 million from the previous year. The total amount pumped was $1.28 billion gallons in 2017
versus 1.27 billion in 2018. The utility increased revenue with a 4 percent water rate increase. The decrease in water
consumed was due to above average rain fall in 2018 and conservation efforts. Average water consumption continues
to be at historic lows due to maturing landscapes, more efficient appliances, and resource conservation. The two golf
courses generated $2.0 million in 2018, which is consistent with the 2017 revenue earnings. The following graph shows
a comparison of revenues and expenses for each business type activity (less depreciation and operating transfers).
Expenses:
Expenses from all business-type activities increased by $0.7 million or 5.4 percent. The Water Fund expenses
increased by $0.7 million due to capital maintenance. Golf expenses were reduced in 2018 to $2.7 million in total, or
decrease of 6.9 percent.
Financial Analysis of the Village’s Funds
As noted earlier the Village utilizes fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the Village’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances
of spendable resources.
19
VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2018
The Village’s governmental funds for the year ended December 31, 2018 reflect a combined fund balance of $25.6
million on its balance sheet (pages 30 - 31). This represents a $0.7 million dollar increase over the balance posted last
year. The Village grew revenues to match inflation and insurance cost, which continue to be the driving force behind
the increase in expenditures on an annual basis. Of the total fund balance of $25.6 million, $16.8 million is unassigned
indicating availability for future obligations.
The 2018 unassigned fund balance increased by $1.6 million. The largest contributing factor is due to a decrease in
total liabilities for the facilities development fund of over $3.4 million (92.9 percent). The liability retired was the line of
credit for the Emerald Ash Borer Tree Replacements Village-wide. Nonspendable fund balance ($0.13 million)
represents amounts set aside for inventory and deposits. Restricted fund balance ($1.9 million) is allocated to capital
projects and employee pension benefits. Committed fund balance ($6.8 million) is to be used for future 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, community development, and general administration. As such, it useful to review the
liquidity of the fund by comparing the unassigned fund balance against the operating General Fund operating budget.
As of December 31, 2018, the unassigned fund balance represents 41.5 percent of the FY 2019 operating budget. The
Fund Balance of the General Fund decreased by $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. A majority
of the fund balanced was used to retire the $3.4 million line of credit for facilities development, if that cost was not
absorbed by the General Fund fund balance, the fund would have grown an additional $1.5 million, consistent with
prior years.
General Fund revenues increased by $2.2 million in 2018. Fines and Fees had flat growth reporting $2.8 million, while
Miscellaneous Income is up $0.4 million (26.7 percent) from 2017. Sales tax reported for 2018 was up 10.2 percent
($0.9 million) and income and use tax followed suit increasing 8.1 percent and 18.1 percent, respectively ($0.3 million
and $0.25 million). The housing stock continues to turn over in Buffalo Grove, but the stock cannot keep up with demand
as real estate transfer tax decreased for the first time in five years. The property turnover rates, and increase in sales
tax are great economic indicators that show Buffalo Grove is still growing and is a residential destination. State of
Illinois shared revenues, specifically those that are part of the local government distributive fund, rebounded in 2018.
It should be noted that these revenues tend to be threatened to be reduced annually by the state legislature. The
Village of Buffalo Grove is focused on developing self-sustaining revenue sources.
VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2018
The overall growth in the General Fund revenue was 5.3 percent, while expenditures grew 9.8 percent ($3.7 million) in
2018. The underperforming revenues also give the Village an opportunity to re-evaluate those sources if there is a
trend emerging or if it was related to a short term aberration.
The surplus of revenues over expenditures (before other financing sources/uses) was $2.4 million. Adding in the Other
Financing Sources (Uses), the net change to fund balance resulted in a decrease of $2.4 million. Public Safety
Expenditures increased $0.9 million, 3.5 percent, in FY 2018. Public Works increased 29.8 percent ($1.7 million) and
General Government spent $1.0 million more in 2018 versus 2017.
Special Revenue Funds have a combined fund balance of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2018. In 2018 the Village
continued its initiative to improve local roadways by resurfacing streets, repairing bridges, and maintaining street, curb
and gutter as needed. These projects were funded through Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds, the Capital Projects Street
Maintenance fund, and grant revenues in 2018. Revenues received from the state share of the motor fuel tax were
$1.1 million. The cost of the 2018 street maintenance program was $1.7 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 intention of the 2016 debt
issuance was to catch up with maintenance in order to maintain appropriate pavement standards and try to complete
all repairs before road resurfacing turns into a compete rebuild of the pavement. The Street Maintenance Fund
expended $1.7 million which was transferred from the general fund. Some street projects tied to Grant funding are not
complete as of December 31, 2018, the remainder will be expended in FY 2019. The Village continues to make streets
a priority spending over the annual allotment for MFT by transferring general fund revenues to funds that build and
improve roadway infrastructure.
The Debt Service Fund has a fund balance of $0.0 million at the end of FY 2018, The Village debt totals $13.05 million,
all general obligation bonds, and retired $1.3 million in principal in the current year. The interest paid associated with
the debt retired was $367,694. Debt per capita is $324.18 as of December 31, 2018. The Village has the sixth lowest
total outstanding debt amongst all the taxing bodies represented on the 2018 Lake and/or Cook County property tax
bill.

December 31, 2018
The Village’s Capital Improvement plan continued in 2018. The Village expended over $0.7 million to the Facilities
Development fund infrastructure in FY 2018.
Proprietary Funds
The Village of Buffalo Grove’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide
financial statements, but in more detail.
The Village reports that both the Water and Sewer Fund and the Arboretum Golf Course as major proprietary funds.
The Water and Sewer Fund accounts for all operating expenses 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 net operating income before interest and transfers of $1.2 million for FY 2018,
a decrease of $1.0 million (54.5 percent) from the prior fiscal year. A rate increase of 4 percent was applied to all
usage after January 1, 2018. Sewer operations accounted for 45.5 percent, or $4.5 million of the total Water and Sewer
operational expenditures. Water operations accounted for $3.8 million (35.4 percent) and capital outlay for both
systems totaling $1.5 million (19.1 percent). The purchase of water accounted for 17.1 percent, or $1.7 million. Sanitary
sewer fees collected on behalf of Lake County Public Works was $3.2 million for FY 2018. These two pass through
expenditures account for 49.5 percent of the total operating expense of the fund.
Non-operating revenue (expense) increased $0.124 million due to investment income and capital contributions.
The unrestricted net position of the Water and Sewer Fund at the end of the current fiscal year was $10.1 million. Of
that amount $7.6 million is the Village’s equity interest in the Northwest Water Commission and $2.5 million is available
to cash finance any major infrastructure improvements or enhancements to the water system. The installment note to
pay down the water meter replacement project is $6.0 million, or 62.5 percent, of the total liabilities to the water and
sewer enterprise. The note is paid off by the increased margin of water metering accuracy.
The Village of Buffalo Grove owns and operates two municipal golf courses. 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 position balance of $0.9 million. Total revenues were down $0.13 million
from 2017. The Buffalo Grove Golf Course generated $1.01 million in operating revenue while incurring $1.05 million
in operating expenses. The majority of the transfer in ($0.85 million) is from the capital reserve fund for building
improvements made in FY 2017. A total of 48,770 paid rounds were played between the two courses in 2018.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The budget is formally presented to the Village Board in November and approved in December in conjunction with the
tax levy request. As the Village operates under the Budget Officer Act, a public hearing, for public comment is
conducted, before the budget is adopted. The budget document sets the legal spending ceiling for each fund and
serves as the day-to-day management tool to ensure fiscal accountability.

The Village maintains assigned “AAA” ratings on its general obligation bonds from Standard and Poor’s Corporation.
Moody’s Investor Services rates the Village of Buffalo Grove as “AA1”.
The total per capita general obligation (GO) debt for the community stands at $324.18 and represents 0.98 percent 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 3 on pages 71 - 78.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
The Village entered 2019 with a balanced operating budget. The budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019,
is $78,044,191 a 3.5 percent increase from the previous year. The operating budget totals $44,478,558 resulting in a
5.2 percent increase over the previous year. Total capital spending during the year is estimated to be $8.7 million.
Continued emphasis will remain on developing innovative ways to deliver services and reduce costs while actively
working to improve sales tax collections through economic development.
Property taxes remain the Village’s most stable revenue although the total assessed value of all taxable property is
expected to increase about 1.0 percent for the 2018 tax levy (extended and collected in 2019). A tax levy was adopted
for the 2019 budget that was 3.0 percent over the last year’s request. The growth in the levy is tied to two items: growth
in the public safety operations and public safety pensions. The Village mitigated an additional $0.7 million in levied
taxes through two abatements of the 2012 and 2016 bonds. If these amounts are not abated the levy increase would
be an additional 4.01 percent higher. The Village will use operating funds to pay the bond payable amount not covered
through the tax levy.
A twenty-year proforma was completed on the Water Fund in FY 2018 and subsequently a water and sewer rate
recommendation was made, and adopted, that will increase water rates by 4 percent in 2018.
A Storm Water Management User Fee was introduced in the FY 2016 budget. This new user fees will offset the costs
related to maintaining, repairing and developing an infrastructure reserve for future system needs. This revenue stream
has resulted in an additional $1.2 million to the General Fund that is funding new and replacement storm sewer
infrastructure.
Budgeted expenditures include general wage adjustment for non-represented employees and contractual salary
adjustments which are part of labor agreements. The Village currently has two represented employee groups (police
and fire).
Health insurance increases are minimized by the economies of scale provided by the Village’s membership in the
Intergovernmental Personnel Benefits Cooperative (IPBC). The Village also eliminated its richest health care plan
which is estimated to save the Village $0.2 million in 2018, or about 5 percent. The plan change became effective
January 1, 2018. All other expenditures will be generally unchanged. There is no additional staffing recommended for
FY 2019.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois (the Village) incorporated in 1958, is a home-rule municipality,
under the 1970 Illinois Constitution, located in both Lake County, Illinois and Cook County, Illinois.
The Village operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides public safety (police
and fire protection), sanitation (water and sewer), building and zoning, engineering, recreation, civil
defense and overall administration.
The government-wide financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible
for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its pronouncements (Statements and
Interpretations). The more significant of the Village’s accounting policies established in GAAP and
used by the Village are described below.
REPORTING ENTITY
The Village’s financial reporting entity comprises the following:
Primary Government: Village of Buffalo Grove
In determining the financial reporting entity, the Village complies with the provisions of GASB
Statement No. 61, “The Financial Reporting Omnibus – an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14
and No. 34,” and includes all component units that have a significant operational or financial
relationship with the Village. Based upon the criteria set forth in the GASB Statement No. 61, there are
no component units included in the reporting entity.
Police Pension Employees Retirement System
The Village’s sworn police employees participate in the Police Pension Employees Retirement System
(PPERS). PPERS functions for the benefit of these employees and is governed by a five-member
pension board. Two members appointed by the Village’s President, one elected pension beneficiary and
two elected police employees constitute the pension board. The participants are required to contribute a
percentage of salary as established by state statute and the Village is obligated to fund all remaining
PPERS costs based upon actuarial valuations. The State of Illinois is authorized to establish benefit
levels and the Village is authorized to approve the actuarial assumptions used in the determination of
contribution levels. Although it is legally separate from the Village, the PPERS is reported as if it were
part of the primary government because its sole purpose is to provide retirement benefits for the
Village’s police employees. The PPERS is reported as a fiduciary fund, and specifically a pension trust
fund, due to the fiduciary responsibility exercised over the PPERS.

Firefighters’ Pension Employees Retirement System
The Village’s sworn firefighters participate in the Firefighters’ Pension Employees Retirement System
(FPERS). FPERS functions for the benefit of those employees and is governed by a five-member
pension board, with two members appointed by the Village President, two elected from active
participants of the Fund, and one elected from the retired members of the Fund. The participants are
required to contribute a percentage of salary as established by state statute and the Village is obligated
to fund all remaining FPERS costs based upon actuarial valuations. The State of Illinois is authorized to
establish benefit levels and the Village is authorized to approve the actuarial assumptions used in the
determination of contribution levels. Although it is legally separate from the Village, the FPERS is
reported as if it were part of the primary government because its sole purpose is to provide retirement
benefits for the Village’s sworn firefighters. The FPERS is reported as a fiduciary fund, and specifically
a pension trust fund, due to the fiduciary responsibility exercised over the FPERS.
Government-Wide Statements
The Village’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the Village as a
whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the Village’s major funds). Both the government-wide
and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business type. The
Village’s police and fire safety, public works, and general administrative services are classified as
governmental activities. The Village’s water and sewerage, arboretum golf, Buffalo Grove golf, and
refuse services are classified as business-type activities.
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, both the governmental and business-type activities
columns are: (a) presented on a consolidated basis by column, and (b) reported on a full accrual,
economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets/deferred outflows and receivables as
well as long-term debt/deferred inflows and obligations. The Village’s net position is reported in three
parts: net investment in capital assets; restricted; and unrestricted. The Village first utilizes restricted
resources to finance qualifying activities.
The government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each of the
Village’s functions and business-type activities (general government, police and fire safety, public
works, etc.). The functions are supported by general government revenues (property, sales and use
taxes, certain intergovernmental revenues, fines, permits and charges, etc.). The Statement of Activities
reduces gross expenses (including depreciation) by related program revenues, which include 1) charges
to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from foods, services, or privileges
provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting
the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.

December 31, 2018
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
BASIS OF PRESENTATION – Continued
Government-Wide Statements – Continued
The net costs (by function or business-type activity) are normally covered by general revenue (property
tax, sales tax, intergovernmental revenues, interest income, etc.).
The Village does not allocate indirect costs. An administrative service fee is charged by the General
Fund to the other operating funds that is eliminated like a reimbursement (reducing the revenue and
expense in the General Fund) to recover the direct costs of General Fund services provided (finance,
personnel, purchasing, legal, technology management, etc.).
This government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the Village as an entity and the change in
the Village’s net position resulting from the current year’s activities.
Fund Financial Statements
The financial transactions of the Village are reported in individual funds in the fund financial
statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that
comprises its assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, fund equity, revenues and
expenditures/expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary, and
fiduciary. The emphasis in fund financial statements is on the major funds in either the governmental or
business-type activities categories.
GASB Statement No. 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets/deferred outflows,
liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues or expenditures/expenses of either fund category or the
governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds. The Village electively
added funds, as major funds, which either have debt outstanding or a specific or community focus. The
nonmajor funds are combined in a column in the fund financial statements. A fund is considered major
if it is the primary operating fund of the Village or meets the following criteria:
Total assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues, or
expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund
are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that
category or type; and
Total assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues, or
expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or enterprise
fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental
and enterprise funds combined.

Fund Financial Statements – Continued
The various funds are reported by generic classification within the financial statements. The following
fund types are used by the Village:
Governmental Funds
The focus of the governmental funds’ measurement (in the fund statements) is upon determination of
financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses, and balances of financial resources)
rather than upon net income. The following is a description of the governmental funds of the Village:
General Fund is the general operating fund of the Village. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund is a major fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The Village maintains two nonmajor special revenue
funds.
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of funds for the periodic payment of
principal and interest on general long-term debt. The Debt Service Fund is treated as a nonmajor fund.
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by business-type/proprietary funds).
The Facilities Development Fund, a major fund, is used to account for and reports financial resources
that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for acquisition, construction, improvement,
repair, and replacement of the Village’s capital facilities. The Street Maintenance Fund, also a major
fund, is used to account for and reports financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to
expenditures for acquisition, construction, improvement, repair, and replacement of the Village’s
roadways.
Proprietary Funds
The focus of proprietary fund measurement is upon determination of operating income, changes in net
position, financial position, and cash flows. The generally accepted accounting principles applicable are
those similar to businesses in the private sector. The following is a description of the proprietary funds
of the Village:

Proprietary Funds – Continued
Enterprise Funds are required to account for operations for which a fee is charged to external users for
goods or services and the activity (a) is financed with debt that is solely secured by a pledge of the net
revenues, (b) has third party requirements that the cost of providing services, including capital costs, be
recovered with fees and charges or (c) establishes fees and charges based on a pricing policy designed
to recover similar costs. The Village maintains four enterprise funds. The Water and Sewerage Fund, a
major fund, is used to account for the revenue and expenses related to the operation of the water and
sewerage system. The Arboretum Golf Fund, also a major fund, is used to account for the revenues and
expenses related to the operation of the golf course.
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by an
activity to other departments, funds or component units of the Village on a cost-reimbursement basis.
The Village maintains three internal services funds. The Information Technology Fund is used to
account for all costs associated with providing technology services to all departments for the operation
of the Village. The Central Garage Fund is used to account for the activity necessary to operate and
maintain the Village’s automotive fleet. User departments are charged a proportionate share determined
by the number and types of vehicles in each department. The Building Maintenance Fund is used to
account for providing a clean, healthy, and safe working environment in Village facilities, meeting
area’s and public area’s.
The Village’s internal service funds are presented in the proprietary fund financial statements. Because
the principal users of the internal services are the Village’s governmental activities, the financial
statements of the internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental column when presented
in the government-wide financial statements. To the extent possible, the cost of these services is
reported in the appropriate functional activity (general government, police and fire safety, public works,
etc.).

Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to report assets held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and therefore are
not available to support Village programs. The reporting focus is on net position and changes in net
position and is reported using accounting principles similar to proprietary funds.
Pension Trust Funds are used to account for assets held in a trustee capacity for pension benefit
payments. The Police Pension Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources to pay retirement and
other related benefits for sworn members of the Village’s police force. The Firefighters’ Pension Fund
accounts for the accumulation of resources to pay retirement and other related benefits for sworn
members of the Village’s Fire Department.
Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the Village in a purely custodial capacity. The
School and Park Donations Fund is used to account for the activity related to property development and
contributions as designated by title 19 – funding for other taxing district impacts.
The Village’s fiduciary funds are presented in the fiduciary fund financial statements by type (pension
trust and agency). Since by definition these assets are being held for the benefit of a third party (other
local governments, private parties, pension participants, etc.) and cannot be used to address activities or
obligations of the Village, these funds are not incorporated into the government-wide statements.
MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Measurement focus is a term used to describe “which” transactions are recorded within the various
financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to “when” transactions are recorded regardless of the
measurement focus applied.
Measurement Focus
On the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, both governmental
and business-type activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus as defined
below.
In the fund financial statements, the “current financial resources” measurement focus or the “economic
resources” measurement focus is used as appropriate.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2018
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING – Continued
Measurement Focus – Continued
All governmental funds utilize a “current financial resources” measurement focus. Only current
financial assets/deferred outflows and liabilities/deferred inflows are generally included on their
balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial
resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable
financial resources at the end of the period.
All proprietary and pension trust funds utilize an “economic resources” measurement focus. The
accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in
net position (or cost recovery), financial position, and cash flows. All assets/deferred outflows and
liabilities/deferred inflows (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported.
Proprietary and pension trust fund equity is classified as net position.
Agency funds are not involved in the measurement of results of operations; therefore, measurement
focus is not applicable to them.
Basis of Accounting
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, both governmental and
business-type activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability/deferred
inflow is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets/deferred outflows,
and liabilities/deferred inflows resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized
when the exchange takes place.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when
“measurable and available.” Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the
amount. Available means collectible within the current period or within sixty days after year-end. The
Village recognizes property taxes when they become both measurable and available in accordance with
GASB Codification Section P70. A sixty-day availability period is used for revenue recognition for all
other governmental fund revenues. Expenditures (including capital outlay) are recorded when the
related fund liability is incurred, except for general obligation bond principal and interest which are
recognized when due.
In applying the susceptible to accrual concept under the modified accrual basis, those revenues
susceptible to accrual are property taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, interest revenue,
and charges for services. All other revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are
not measurable until received in cash.

December 31, 2018
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING – Continued
Basis of Accounting – Continued
All proprietary, pension trust and agency funds utilize the accrual basis of accounting. Under the
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the
liability is incurred or economic asset used.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of
the Village’s enterprise funds and of the Village’s internal service funds are charges to customers for
sales and services. The Village also recognizes as operating revenue the portion of tap fees intended to
recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds
and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
ASSETS/DEFERRED OUTFLOWS, LIABILITIES/DEFERRED INFLOWS, AND NET
POSITION OR EQUITY
Cash and Investments
For the purpose of the Statement of Net Position, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash
on hand, demand deposits, and cash with fiscal agent. For the purpose of the proprietary funds
“Statement of Cash Flows,” cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand
deposits, cash with fiscal agent, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less.
Investments are generally reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which
approximates fair value. For investments, the Village categorizes its fair value measurements within the
fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on
the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs
are significant unobservable inputs.
Receivables
In the government-wide financial statements, receivables consist of all revenues earned at year-end and
not yet received. Allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable are based upon historical trends and
the periodic aging of accounts receivable. Major receivables balances for governmental activities
include property taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, and grants. Business-type activities report
charges for services as their major receivables.

POSITION OR EQUITY – Continued
Interfund Receivables, Payables and Activity
Interfund activity is reported as loans, services provided, reimbursements or transfers. Loans are
reported as interfund receivables and payables as appropriate and are subject to elimination upon
consolidation. Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues
and expenditures/expenses. Internal service fund services provided and used are not eliminated in the
process of consolidation. Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate
benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are
treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or proprietary funds are netted as part of the
reconciliation to the government-wide financial statements.
Prepaids/Inventories
Prepaids/inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in/first-out (FIFO)
method. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaids in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The costs of
governmental fund-type prepaids/inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than
when purchased.
Capital Assets
Capital assets purchased or acquired with an original cost of $10,000 or more (depending on asset class)
are reported at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are reported at acquisition
value as of the date received. Additions, improvements and other capital outlays that significantly
extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement
focus. General capital assets are long-lived assets of the Village as a whole. When purchased, such
assets are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and capitalized. Infrastructure such as
streets, traffic signals and signs are capitalized. The valuation basis for general capital assets are
historical cost, or where historical cost is not available, estimated historical cost based on replacement
costs.
Capital assets in the proprietary funds are capitalized in the fund in which they are utilized. The
valuation bases for proprietary fund capital assets are the same as those used for the general capital
assets. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value on the date donated.

Depreciation on all assets is computed and recorded using the straight-line method of depreciation over
the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 20 Years
Equipment and Vehicles 2 – 10 Years
Land Improvements 5 – 50 Years
Streets 5 – 50 Years
Storm Sewers 5 – 50 Years

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflow/inflow of resources represents an acquisition/reduction of net position that applies to a
future period and therefore will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense)/inflow of
resources (revenue) until that future time.
Compensated Absences
The Village accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and associated employee-related costs when earned
(or estimated to be earned) by the employee. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, no liability is
recorded for nonvesting accumulation rights to receive sick pay benefits. However, a liability is
recognized for that portion of accumulated sick leave that is estimated to be taken as “terminal leave”
prior to retirement.
All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have
matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types 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 financing 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.
Net Position
In the government-wide financial statements, equity is classified as net position and displayed in three
components:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – Consists of capital assets including
restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by
the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes or other
borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of those assets.
Restricted – Consists of net position with constraints placed on the use
either by (1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or
laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) law through constitutional
provisions or enabling legislations.
Unrestricted – All other net position balances that do not meet the
definition of “restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.”

BUDGETARY INFORMATION – Continued
The Village Board of Trustees follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary and
appropriations data reflected in the financial 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 re-appropriated in the
following year for the expenditure to be made. The Village does not employ the encumbrance method
of accounting to reserve net position for subsequent year expenditures.

Investments - Continued. Debt Securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued
using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’
relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. 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. The Village’s investments in the Illinois Funds and the IMET Fund have
an average maturity of less than one year to three years.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
obligations. The Village’s investment policy applies the “prudent person” standard in managing its
investment portfolio. As such, all investments are made with such judgement 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. At year-
end, the Village’s investment in the Illinois Funds was rated AAAm by Standard & Poor’s. The Illinois
Metropolitan Investment Trust Convenience Fund is not rated and the Illinois Metropolitan Investment
Trust 1-3 Year Fund is rated Aaa by Moody’s. The ratings on the Village’s investments in the U.S.
agency obligations and state and local obligations are not available.
Custodial Credit Risk. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the
Village’s deposits may not be returned to it. The Village’s investment policy requires securing deposit
collateral from depository institutions when deposits are in excess of FDIC limits. The amount of
deposits not collateralized or insured by an agency of the federal government shall not exceed 75% of
the capital stock and surplus of a banking institution. These values shall be reviewed on a quarterly
basis comparing actual deposits not insured or collateralized against the capital stock and surplus
measure. Values shall be taken from published regulatory agency reports required by either the
Comptroller of the Currency or the Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies.

of deposits was covered by collateral, federal depository or equivalent insurance.
For an investment, this 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 that are in the possession of an
outside party. It is the policy of the Village to require all investments and investment collateral to be
held in safekeeping by a third-party custodial institution as designated by the Treasurer in the Village’s
name. Direct investments guaranteed by the United States or an agency of the United States do not
require collateral. The Village’s investments in the Illinois Funds and the IMET Fund are not subject to
custodial credit risk.
Concentration Risk. This is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of the Village’s investment in a
single issuer. The Village limits the amount that can be invested in commercial paper to one-third of the
Village’s total investments. At year-end, the Village does not have any investments over 5 percent of
the total cash and investment portfolio (other than investments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the
U.S. government and investments in mutual funds, external investment pools, and other pooled
investments).

The long-term expected rate of return on the Fund’s investments was determined using an asset
allocation study conducted by the Fund’s investment management consultant in January of 2019 in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (net of pension plan investment
expense and inflation) were developed for each major asset class. These ranges were combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by
the target asset allocation percentage and by adding the expected inflation. Best estimates or arithmetic
real rates of return for each major asset class included in the Fund’s target asset allocation as of
December 31, 2018, are listed in the table above.
Rate of Return
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan

Legal Debt Margin
Article VII, Section 6(k) of the 1970 Illinois Constitution governs the computation of legal debt margin.
“The General Assembly may limit by law the amount and require referendum approval of debt to the
incurred by home rule municipalities, payable from ad valorem property tax receipts, only in excess of
the following percentages of the assessed value of its taxable property…(2) if its population is more
than 25,000 and less than 500,000 an aggregate of one percent: indebtedness which is outstanding on
the effective date (July 1, 1971) of this constitution or which is thereafter approved by
referendum…shall not be included in the foregoing percentage amounts.”
To date the Illinois General Assembly has set no limits for home rule municipalities. The Village is a
home rule municipality.

NET POSITION/FUND BALANCE – Continued
Fund Balance Classifications – Continued
In the governmental fund financial statements, the Village considers restricted amounts to have been
spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund
balance is available. The Village first utilizes committed, then assigned and then unassigned fund
balance when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which all three unrestricted fund balances are
available.
Nonspendable Fund Balance. Consists of resources that cannot be spent because they are either: a) not
in a spendable form; or b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted Fund Balance. Consists of resources that are restricted to specific purposes, that is, when
constraints placed on the use of resources are either: a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through
debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or b) imposed by
law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance. Consists of resources constrained (issuance of an ordinance) to specific
purposes by the government itself, using its highest level of decision-making authority, the Village
Board; to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the
government takes the same highest-level action to remove or change the constraint.
Assigned Fund Balance. Consists of amounts that are constrained by the Village Board intent to be used
for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the Village Board
itself or by a body or official to which the Village Board has delegated the authority to assign amounts
to be used for specific purposes. The Village’s’ highest level of decision-making authority is the
Village Board, who is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose.
Unassigned Fund Balance. Consists of residual net resources of a fund that has not been restricted,
committed, or assigned within the General Fund and deficit fund balances of other governmental funds.
Minimum Fund Balance Policy. The Village’s fund balance policy for the General Fund requires
committed fund balance to be maintained at a minimum of 25% of budgeted operating expenditures.

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 has
purchased insurance from private insurance companies. Risks covered included certain types of
liabilities and bonds. Premiums have been displayed as expenditures/expenses in appropriate funds.
There were no significant changes in insurance coverages from the prior year and settlements did not
exceed insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
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 financial condition of the Village.
Grants
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor
agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already
collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which
may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the Village expects such
amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

(IMRF), a defined benefit agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system and the Police
Pension Plan which is a single-employer pension plan, and the Firefighters’ Pension Plan which is a
single-employer pension plan. A separate report is issued for the Police Pension Plan and Firefighters’
Pension Plan and may be obtained by writing to the Village at 50 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove,
Illinois 60089. IMRF issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information for the plan as a whole, but not by individual employer. That report
may be obtained online at www.imrf.org. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions, and
employer contributions are governed by Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) and can only be amended by
the Illinois General Assembly.
The Village recognized aggerate pension expense for the three plans as follows:
IMRF $ 1,723,371

Benefits Provided. IMRF has three benefit plans. The vast majority of IMRF members participate in the
Regular Plan (RP). The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Personnel (SLEP) plan is for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs,
and selected police chiefs. Counties could adopt the Elected County Official (ECO) plan for officials
elected prior to August 8, 2011 (the ECO plan was closed to new participants after that date).
IMRF provides two tiers of pension benefits. Employees hired before January 1, 2011, are eligible for
Tier 1 benefits. Tier 1 employees are vested for pension benefits when they have at least eight years of
qualifying service credit. Tier 1 employees who retire at age 55 (at reduced benefits) or after age 60
(at full benefits) with eight years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable
monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of
service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their
final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total earnings during any consecutive 48
months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 48. Under Tier 1, the pension is increased by 3%
of the original amount on January 1 every year after retirement.
Employees hired on or after January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 2 benefits. For Tier 2 employees,
pension benefits vest after ten years of service. Participating employees who retire at age 62 (at
reduced benefits) or after age 67 (at full benefits) with ten years of service are entitled to an
annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate
of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years
to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total
earnings during any 96 consecutive months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 96. Under
Tier 2, the pension is increased on January 1 every year after retirement, upon reaching age 67, by the
lesser of:
• 3% of the original pension amount, or
• 1/2 of the increase in the Consumer Price Index of the original pension amount.

Actuarial Assumptions – Continued. For non-disabled retirees, an IMRF specific mortality table was
used with fully generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015). The IMRF specific rates were
developed from the RP-2014 Blue Collar Health Annuitant Mortality Table with adjustments to match
current IMRF experience. For disabled retirees, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully
generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015). The IMRF specific rates were developed from
the RP-2014 Disabled Retirees Mortality Table applying the same adjustment that were applied for
non-disabled lives. For active members, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully
generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015). The IMRF specific rates were developed from
the RP-2014 Employee Mortality Table with adjustments to match current IMRF experience.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-
block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of pension plan investment expense, and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These
ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future
real rates of return to the target asset allocation percentage and adding expected inflation. The target
allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized
in the following table:

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50%, the same as the prior valuation.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that member contributions
will be made at the current contribution rate and that Village contributions will be made at rates equal
to the difference between the actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on
those assumptions, the IMRF’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all project
future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments was applied to all period of projected benefit payments to determine the total
pension liability.
Discount Rate Sensitivity
The following is a sensitivity analysis of the net pension liability/(asset) to changes in the discount rate.
The table below presents the pension liability/(asset) of the Village calculated using the discount rate as
well as what the Village’s net pension liability/(asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount

Police Pension Plan
Plan Descriptions
Plan Administration. The Police Pension Plan is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan that
covers all sworn police personnel. The defined benefits and employee and minimum employer
contribution levels are governed by Illinois Compiled Statutes (40 ILCS 5/3-1) and may be amended
only by the Illinois legislature. The Village accounts for the Fund as a pension trust fund. The Fund is
governed by a five-member pension board. Two members of the Board are appointed by the Village
President, one member is elected by pension beneficiaries and two members are elected by active police
employees.
Plan Membership. At December 31, 2018, the measurement date, membership consisted of the
following:
Inactive Plan Members Currently Receiving Benefits 51
Inactive Plan Members Entitled to but not yet Receiving Benefits 3
Active Plan Members 62
Total 116
Benefits Provided. The following is a summary of the Police Pension Plan as provided for in Illinois
State Statutes.
The Police Pension Plan provides retirement benefits through two tiers of benefits as well as death and
disability benefits. Covered employees hired before January 1, 2011 (Tier 1), attaining the age of 50 or
older with 20 or more years of creditable service are entitled to receive an annual retirement benefit of
½ of the salary attached to the rank held on the last day of service, or for one year prior to the last day,
whichever is greater. The annual benefit shall be increased by 2.5 percent of such salary for each
additional year of service over 20 years up to 30 years, to a maximum of 75 percent of such salary.
Employees with at least eight years but less than 20 years of credited service may retire at or after age

years of service after January 1, 1977 shall be increased annually, following the first anniversary date of
retirement and be paid upon reaching the age of at least 55 years, by 3 percent of the original pension
and 3 percent compounded annually thereafter. Covered employees hired on or after January 1, 2011
(Tier 2), attaining the age of 55 or older with 10 or more years of creditable service are entitled to
receive an annual retirement benefit equal to the average monthly salary obtained by dividing the total
salary of the police officer during the 96 consecutive months of service within the last 120 months of
service in which the total salary was the highest by the number of months of service in that period.
Police officer salary for the pension purposes is capped at $106,800, plus the lesser of ½ of the annual
change in the Consumer Price Index or 3 percent compounded.

Benefits Provided – Continued. The annual benefit shall be increased by 2.5 percent of such a salary for
each additional year of service over 20 years up to 30 years to a maximum of 75 percent of such salary.
Employees with at least 10 years may retire at or after age 50 and receive a reduced benefit (i.e., ½
percent for each month under 55). The monthly benefit of a Tier 2 police officer shall be increased
annually at age 60 on the January 1st after the police officer retires, or the first anniversary of the
pension starting date, whichever is later. Noncompounding increases occur annually, each January
thereafter. The increase is the lesser of 3 percent or ½ of the change in the Consumer Price Index for the
proceeding calendar year.
Contributions. Covered employees are required to contribute 9.91% of their base salary to the Police
Pension Plan. If an employee leaves covered employment with less than 20 years of service, accumulated
employee contributions may be refunded without accumulated interest. The Village is required to
contribute the remaining amounts necessary to finance the plan and the administrative costs as actuarially
determined by an enrolled actuary. However, effective January 1, 2011, ILCS requires the Village to
contribute a minimum amount annually calculated using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method
that will result in the funding of 90% of the past service cost by the year 2040. For the year-ended
December 31, 2018, the Village’s contribution was 39.61% of covered payroll.
Concentrations. At year end, the Pension Plan does not have any investments (other than investments
issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds, external
investment pools, and other pooled investments) in any one organization that represent 5 percent or more
of net position available for benefits.
Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation performed, as of December 31,
2018, using the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Asset Valuation Method Market
Actuarial Assumptions
Interest Rate 7.00%
Salary Increases 4.00% - 8.67%

Mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 adjusted for Plan Status, Collar, and Illinois Public Pension
Data, as appropriate.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.00%, the same as the prior valuation.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that member contributions
will be made at the current contribution rate and that Village contributions will be made at rates equal
to the difference between the actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on
those assumptions, the Fund’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all project
future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments was applied to all period of projected benefit payments to determine the total
pension liability.
Discount Rate Sensitivity
The following is a sensitivity analysis of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate. The
table below presents the pension liability of the Village calculated using the discount rate as well as
what the Village’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one
percentage point lower or one percentage point higher than the current rate:

Firefighters’ Pension Plan
Plan Descriptions
Plan Administration. The Firefighters’ Pension Plan is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan
that covers all sworn firefighter personnel. The defined benefits and employee and minimum employer
contribution levels are governed by Illinois Compiled Statutes (40 ILCS 5/4-1) and may be amended
only by the Illinois legislature. The Village accounts for the Fund as a pension trust fund. The Fund is
governed by a five-member pension board. Two members of the Board are appointed by the Village
President, one member is elected by pension beneficiaries and two members are elected by active fire
employees.
Plan Membership. At December 31, 2018, the measurement date, membership consisted of the
following:
Inactive Plan Members Currently Receiving Benefits 37
Inactive Plan Members Entitled to but not yet Receiving Benefits 1
Active Plan Members 56
Total 94
Benefits Provided. The following is a summary of the Firefighters’ Pension Plan as provided for in
Illinois State Statutes.
The Firefighters’ Pension Plan provides retirement benefits through two tiers of benefits as well as
death and disability benefits. Covered employees hired before January 1, 2011 (Tier 1), attaining the
age of 50 or older with 20 or more years of creditable service are entitled to receive an annual
retirement benefit of ½ of the salary attached to the rank held on the last day of service, or for one year
prior to the last day, whichever is greater. The annual benefit shall be increased by 2.5 percent of such
salary for each additional year of service over 20 years up to 30 years, to a maximum of 75 percent of
such salary. Employees with at least eight years but less than 20 years of credited service may retire at
or after age 60 and receive a reduced benefit. The monthly benefit of a firefighter who retired with 20
or more years of service after January 1, 1977 shall be increased annually, following the first
anniversary date of retirement and be paid upon reaching the age of at least 55 years, by 3 percent of the
original pension and 3percent compounded annually thereafter.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL AUDITING
STANDARDS
April 29, 2019
The Honorable Village President
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the Village of Buffalo Grove (Village), Illinois, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated April 29, 2019.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control. According, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Village’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe
than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported
under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the Village’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide,at least in part, with the geographic boudries of the
Village. This schedule estimates the portion of 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 a debt, of each overlapping government.
