The Honorable Eric Smith
Members of the Village Board
Citizens of the Village of Buffalo Grove
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report of the Village of Buffalo Grove for the year ended December 31,
2022, is submitted herewith. This report represents a comprehensive picture of the Village’s financial activities
during Fiscal Year 2022 and the financial condition of its various funds at December 31, 2022. 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 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, 2022. 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 2020 U.S. Census, serves a population of 43,212. 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.
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 212 full-time and 38 part-time/seasonal positions in the Fiscal Year 2022 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, department, and program. Department
directors may make transfers of budget allocations within a department. Transfers of budget allocations between
funds, 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 720 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 been lower than the national and state averages, with an
unemployment rate at the end of the year at 3.1 percent besting the state by 1.5 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 $17,037,557 which is a slight increase over the previous year’s total of
$16,970,657, or 0.4 percent.
• Water and Sewer collections decreased from $16,326,679 in 2021 to $16,119,322 in 2022; a total
decrease of 1.3 percent.
• Sales taxes, both state shared and home rule, generated $18,309,654 in 2022, an increase of 14.3 percent.
The Village equalized assessed valuation decreased by $72.2 million or 4.0 percent to $1.71 billion for the 2021
levy year. The Lake County portion of the Village’s equalized assessed value decreased by 3.0 percent and Cook
County portion decreased by 7.7 percent.
4
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. At
the end of 2022, the Village has a planned decrease in unassigned fund balance of $4.86 million and a
corresponding increase in committed fund balance to finance capital improvements at a new public works
facility.

* 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.
The Village is in year three of a five-year Infrastructure Modernization Program that involves managing over
$175 million in capital projects. Transportation-related projects represent a large percentage of the improvements
at $76 million. Routine maintenance of existing streets accounts for $63 million of those projects. Approximately
$32 million and $7.5 million respectively, is allocated to improving and maintaining the water utility and sanitary
sewer systems.
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 2022, the Village of Buffalo Grove issued over 3,100 commercial and residential building permits. These
permits represent a total project valuation of $135 million invested into the Buffalo Grove community. In
addition to building permit activity, the following major projects occurred in 2022:
A facility remodel was complete at the Arboretum Golf Club, including the offering of indoor year-round golf
simulators and private lessons, a newly refurbished and managed full-service dining and entertainment area and
a new outdoor patio with fire pits and a large retractable window wall, creating an open air concept between the
indoor restaurant seating and the patio.
Work continued on the new Link Crossing Development by K. Hovnanian Homes. This project will have a total
of 187 units and include a mix of 68 clustered single-family detached homes and 119 two-story townhomes.
5
The Ricky Rockets commercial development at 700 E. Lake Cook Road neared completion during the year. This
project includes an 8,720 square foot convenience store, fuel center and car wash complex, 8,550 square foot
retail center, and a 2,400 square foot quick service restaurant.
Development plans for the long-awaited Town Center Redevelopment, The Clove, were approved and
groundbreaking occurred in September. Several structures have been demolished and construction is underway
for the grocer, residential buildings and outlots. Remodeling of the existing building north of Old Checker Road
is ongoing as well. When complete, the redevelopment will be a new, modern central entertainment and
residential district anchored by a national grocery store, retail shops, a park, restaurants and luxury multi-family
residential and includes 65,000 square feet of retail space. Project costs are estimated to exceed $150 million.
A two-tenant commercial building project began at 41 S. McHenry Road, which will bring specialized meat and
seafood grocer, Wild Fork as well as a 24-hour emergency room for animals, Veterinary Emergency Group
(VEG).
The Village purchased the building at 1650 Leider Lane to house its public works and engineering services. The
173,000 square foot facility offers ample space to accommodate operations now and will into the future.
After years of planning and coordination, a new and improved pedestrian crossing made its debut at Buffalo
Grove High School across Arlington Heights Road.
In 2022, 106 businesses opened, expanded and/or relocated in the Village of Buffalo Grove.
Awards and Acknowledgments
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting to the Village of Buffalo Grove for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2021. The Village of Buffalo Grove has received Certificates of Achievement since
1981. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the government published an easily readable and efficiently
organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. This report satisfies both GAAP and applicable legal
requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and
we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
In addition, the Village also received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its annual budget
document for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award, the Village’s budget document had to be judged proficient as a policy document, a financial
plan, an operations guide, and a communications device.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the dedicated services of the entire staff of
the Finance Department. Credit also must be given to the Village President and Board of Trustees, and the
Village Manager Dane Bragg for their assistance in planning and conducting the fiscal affairs of the Village in a
responsible manner.
Respectfully submitted,
Chris Black

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
June 14, 2023
The Honorable Village President
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
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
(the Village), Illinois, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
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, as of December 31, 2022, 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.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our
report. We are required to be independent of the Village, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Village’s ability to continue as a
going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
10
Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois
June 14, 2023
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered
material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the
judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing
Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the Village’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period
of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters
that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules, GASB-required pension and other post-
employment benefit (OPEB) reporting, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, 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.
11
Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois
June 14, 2023
Supplementary 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 other supplementary
information and supplemental schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and
was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. The 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, other
supplementary information and supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information
comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and
our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other
information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the
basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based
on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information
exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 14, 2023,
on our consideration of the Village’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Village’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an
audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Village’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
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, 2022. This information presented here should be
considered in conjunction with additional information provided in the letter of transmittal, which is found in the
introductory section of this report, and the Village’s financial statements, which can be found in the basic financial
statement section of this report.
Financial Highlights
•The assets and deferred outflows of the Village exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at December
31, 2022 by $107.1 million (net position). The Net Position for governmental activities is $30.5 million or
28.5 percent of the total, and business-type activities account for $76.5 million. Of this amount, ($7.6)
million is unrestricted. Governmental activities unrestricted amount is ($30.0) million at the end of the year.
This negative amount of unrestricted assets is directly related to the recognition of all retirement obligations
in noncurrent liabilities, which is $67.6 million for 2022 (an increase of $23.0 million or 51.6% from 2021).
•The Village’s total debt increased by $34.4 million (or 91.7 percent). Total general bonded debt outstanding
is $48.0 million as of December 31, 2022. During the year, the Village issued $18.5 million in general
obligation bonds and is accounting for $19 million in TIF Revenue notes per a developer agreement for

•The Village’s net position increased by $5.9 million (or 5.8 percent) from a beginning balance of $101.2
million during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The governmental net position decreased by $6.2
million (16.9 percent) from a beginning balance of $36.7 million and the business-type activities net
position increased by $12.1 million (18.8 percent) from a beginning balance of $64.5 million.

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 are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Village’s
finances similar to the corporate sector in that all governmental and business-type activities are consolidated into
one 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).
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 most 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 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 nine 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, Lake Cook Road TIF, Debt Service, Facilities Development, Street Maintenance,
and Vehicle Equipment Replacement 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 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 Sewer Fund and the Arboretum Golf Fund as they are
considered major funds.
Fiduciary Funds 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.
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.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
The assets and deferred outflows of the Village of Buffalo Grove exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $107.1
million as of December 31, 2022. The largest portion of the Village’s net position reflects its net investment in
capital assets ($103.3 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 ($11.4 million) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions
on how they may be used, of that amount $4.4 million is restricted for improvements to roadway, public
infrastructure, and other municipal public improvements. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position of
($7.6) million includes $7.4 million for capital projects related to the new Public Works facility. The total decrease
in unrestricted net position from the prior year is $8.2 million (1,366.7 percent).

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 position.
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 two of the three categories of net
position for the government as a whole as well as for governmental activities; whereas all three categories of net
position for business-type activities resulted in positive balances.
Within the governmental activities, the Village increase in “Current and Other Assets” of $20.0 million is primarily
related to $12.8 million more in cash and investments and $2.5 million more in receivables. The Village experienced
an increase of $0.2 million (3.4 percent) in service charge revenues, $2.0 million (62.5 percent) in operating
grants/contributions, $2.5 million (14.2 percent) in sales and use taxes, $1.5 million (26.8 percent) in income taxes,
$0.1 million (3.8 percent) in utility taxes, $0.4 million (25.0 percent) in property transfer taxes, and $0.4 million
(11.8 percent) in other revenues. Property taxes and telecommunications taxes stayed consistent to the prior year.
The Village experienced a decrease of $0.1 million (5.9 percent) in capital grants/contributions.
The Village maintained capital improvement and asset purchases in 2022. 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 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

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 can 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 $6.2 million to $30.5 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, 2022 were $66.2 million, an
increase of $7.0 million or 11.8 percent. Property taxes continue to be one of the Village’s largest sources of revenue
(25.7 percent) at $17.0 million. There was a 0.69% increase in the corporate agency tax levy collected in 2022 as
the counties were able to collect a higher percentage of taxes billed than in 2021. The corporate levy for 2022, to
be collected in 2023, is funding Police and Fire Protection. Included within the property tax revenues are the
pension levies for the Police and Firefighter Pension Funds and IMRF/Social Security. The pension levies account
for 37.2 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 $32.6 million or
49.2 percent of total governmental activities revenue.

The Statement of Activities shows that $6.0 million in revenue was generated to finance the services rendered by
the user fees. Another $6.8 million in revenue was generated by operating and capital grants and other contributions
that was expended for capital improvements.
Business-Type Activities:
Business-type activities net position increased by $12.1 million. Significant changes are noted below.
Revenue:
Water sales decreased $200 thousand from the previous year. The total amount pumped was 1.29 billion gallons in
2021 versus 1.31 billion in 2022. The utility increased revenue with a 4.0 percent water rate increase. There was a
slight decrease in water consumed of 0.61 billion gallons (5.09 percent) which equates to a decrease in water sales.
The two golf courses generated $2.4 million in 2022, $0.2 million (7.7 percent) less than 2021 earnings. The
following graph shows a comparison of revenues and expenses for each business type activity (excludes non-
operating activity, transfers and GAAP adjustments).

December 31, 2022
The Village’s governmental funds for the year ended December 31, 2022, reflect a combined fund balance of $61.7
million on its balance sheet. This represents a $10.6 million dollar increase over the balance posted last year.
Governmental revenues increased a total of $7.0 million. Sales taxes, both state shared and home rule, increased by
$2.3 million dollars. The increase reflects a strong year in retail sales. State shared income taxes increased by $1.5
million and building permit revenues decreased by $224 thousand. Governmental expenditures increased over prior
year by $26.5 million. Of this amount, $19 million can be attributed to an expenditure recorded in the Lake Cook
Road TIF fund related to a TIF Revenue Note. The net decrease in fund balance for the Debt Service Fund in 2022
was $8.2 million compared to a combined increase in all other Governmental Funds of $18.8 million. This decrease
resulted from transfers out to other funds as the remaining 2020 bond proceeds were spent during the year. The
Capital Projects Facilities balance increase of $7.4 million can be attributed to bond proceeds and premium of $21.4
million, offset by capital expenditures utilizing bond money of $14.3 million. Of the total fund balance of $61.7
million, $17.7 million is unassigned indicating availability for future obligations.
The 2022 unassigned fund balance decreased by $4.8 million. Nonspendable fund balance ($138 thousand)
represents amounts set aside for inventory and deposits. Restricted fund balance ($13.0 million) relates to the
remaining proceeds available on the 2022 General Obligation Bond, federal and state seizure funds, and nonmajor
special revenue fund balances including the Motor Fuel Tax and Local Motor Fuel Tax funds. Committed fund
balance ($30.8 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’s useful to
review the liquidity of the fund by comparing the unassigned fund balance against the General Fund operating
budget. As of December 31, 2022, the unassigned fund balance represents 37.7 percent of the FY 2022 operating
budget. The Fund Balance of the General Fund increased by $9.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2022.
General Fund revenues increased by $6.6 million in 2022. The most notable increases were in grants, state shared
income tax, state shared sales tax and home rule sales tax of $1.7 million, $1.4 million, $1.2 million, and $1.2
million, respectively. During the year, the Village recognized $2.7 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
grant money. As noted earlier, the increase in sales taxes was due to strong retail sales during the year. Real estate
transfer taxes increased by $0.40 million (25%). Local use tax increased $0.14 million (8.4 percent), while building
permit revenue decreased by $0.22 million (10.3%). Other State of Illinois shared revenues increased $259,196
(72.7%).

The overall increase in the General Fund revenue was 12.0 percent, while expenditures increased 6.3 percent ($2.8
million) in 2022.
The surplus of revenues over expenditures (before other financing sources/uses) was $14.2 million. Adding in the
Other Financing Sources (Uses), the net change to fund balance resulted in an increase of $9.5 million. Public Safety
Expenditures increased $0.8 million, 2.7 percent, in FY 2022. Public Works increased 7.9 percent ($0.5 million)
and General Government spent $1.3 million more in 2022 versus 2021.
Special Revenue Funds have a combined fund balance of $4.4 million as of December 31, 2022. In 2022 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 by state and local motor fuel tax revenue, bond proceeds,
transfers from the General Fund and grant revenues in 2022. Revenues received from the state share of the motor
fuel tax were $2.6 million and local share of motor fuel tax of $0.67 million. The scope of each year’s identified
maintenance, as determined through pavement analysis studies, typically surpasses the revenues received. The
Capital Projects Street Fund expended $5.1 million using the various revenue sources. Some street projects tied to
grant funding were completed in 2022, the remainder will be expended in FY 2023.
The Debt Service Fund has a fund balance of $32,249 at the end of FY 2022, which is a decrease of $8,200,531 as
the remaining funds from the 2020 bond proceeds were spent and the money transferred out to the applicable funds.
The Village debt totals $67.0 million, which includes general obligation bonds and a TIF revenue note. A total of
$2.6 million in principal was retired in the current year. The interest paid associated with the debt retired was $1.2
million. Debt per capita is $1,366.74 as of December 31, 2022.
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 $5.7 million for FY
2022, a decrease of $0.1 million (2.1 percent) from the prior fiscal year. A rate increase of 4 percent was applied to
all water and sewer usage. Sewer operations accounted for 29.7 percent, or $5.3 million of the total Water and
Sewer operational expenses. Water operations accounted for $1.5 million (8.2 percent) and capital outlay for both
systems totaling $9.2 million (51.3 percent). The purchase of water accounted for 10.8 percent, or $1.9 million.
Sanitary sewer fees collected on behalf of Lake County Public Works was $3.5 million for FY 2022. These two
pass-through expenses account for 31 percent of the total operating expense of the fund.
Nonoperating revenue (expense) increased $73,748 due to investment income.
The unrestricted net position of the Water and Sewer Fund at the end of the current fiscal year was $21.7 million
and of that amount $9.2 million is the Village’s equity interest in the Northwest Water Commission. The installment
note to pay down the water meter replacement project is $4.7 million, or 47.6 percent, of total liabilities in 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 $138,313. Total revenues were up
$20,254 from 2021. The Buffalo Grove Golf Course generated $1.3 million in operating revenue while incurring
$1.1 million in operating expenses. A total of 71,773 paid rounds were played between the two courses in 2022.

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.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
December 31, 2022
The total per capita general obligation (GO) debt for the community stands at $1,231.33 and represents 1.00 percent
of the 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.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
The Village entered 2023 with a balanced operating budget. The budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2023, is $126,164,748 a 6.1 percent increase from the previous year. The general fund operating budget totals
$60,549,697 resulting in a 13.9 percent increase over the previous year.
Total capital spending during the year is estimated to be $25.5 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. In 2023, the Village enters year 3 of a five-year capital program to
address the community’s water and sanitary sewer system infrastructure replacement and street resurfacing and
reconstructions projects. The additional funding that increases in water and sewer utility rates as well as the new
fixed facility fees bring in are allocated entirely to capital projects and used to offset debt service exposure in the
property tax levy.
Property taxes remain the Village’s most stable revenue although the total assessed value of all taxable property
was not expected to increase for the 2022 tax levy (extended and collected in 2023). A tax levy was adopted for the
2023 budget at the same level as the prior year for an increase of 0.0 percent. The Village mitigated an additional
$4.42 million in levied taxes through full abatements of the 2020 and 2022 bonds, as well as a partial abatement of
the 2012 and 2016 bonds. If these amounts were not abated the levy increase would have been 20.5 percent. The
Village will use operating funds to pay the bond payable amount not covered by the tax levy.
A Storm Water Management User Fee introduced in the FY 2016 budget offsets the costs related to maintaining,
repairing and developing an infrastructure reserve for future system needs. This revenue stream has resulted in an
additional $1.1 million to the General Fund that is funding new and replacement storm sewer infrastructure.
Budgeted expenditures include general wage adjustments 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). In 2023, included in the budget are monies to restore
additional positions eliminated as part of the 2021 Budget due to Covid-19 and its economic impact.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
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 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.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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.

VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, ILLINOIS
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
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 four 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 major 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. The Vehicle Equipment Replacement Fund, also a major fund, is used to account for and
reports financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures for the acquisition,
construction, improvement, repair, and replacement of the Village's vehicles and equipment.
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:

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
areas and public areas.
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 custodial 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.

Fiduciary Funds – Continued
The Village’s pension trust funds are presented in the fiduciary fund financial statements. Since by
definition these assets are being held for the benefit of a third party (pension participants) 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.
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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING – Continued
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.
All proprietary and pension trust 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.
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.

POSITION OR EQUITY – Continued
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 basis 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
Infrastructure 5 – 50 Years
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflow/inflow of resources represents a consumption/acquisition of net assets 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.

Compensated Absences – Continued
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
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable
governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type Statement of Net Position.
Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective
interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond
issuance costs are reported as expenses at the time of issuance.
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.”

NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
BUDGETARY INFORMATION
The budget data included in the financial statements represent the Village’s program budget and the
appropriations represent the Village’s legal expenditure limit. Budgets are adopted for the General
Fund, Special Revenue Funds except for the Lake Cook Road TIF Fund, Debt Service Funds, Capital
Projects Funds, Proprietary Funds, Pension Trust Funds and Internal Service Funds. All governmental
fund-type budgets, pension trust fund-type budgets and internal service fund-type budgets are adopted
on a basis consistent with GAAP. Proprietary Funds are adopted on a basis other than GAAP in that
depreciation expense, income from the joint venture, and contributions from developers are not
budgeted, and principal payments on long-term debt (if any) are budgeted. The Village Board of
Trustees follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary and appropriations data reflected in the
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.

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.
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.

Credit Risk – Continued. 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 was not rated and the Illinois Public Reserves Investment Management Trust was rated AAAm by
Standard & Poor’s. The ratings on the Village’s investments in the state and local obligations are rated
AA to AA+ by Standard & Poor’s.
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. If deposits are
maintained with a savings and loan association, the amount of deposits not collateralized or insured
shall not exceed 75% of the net worth of the institution as defined and reported to the regulatory
agencies. At year-end, the entire amount of the bank balance 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, IMET, and IPRIME 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).

Revolving Line-of-Credit
The Village has established a $7,500,000 revolving line-of-credit with Northbrook Bank & Trust
Company for working capital needs. At December 31, 2022 the balance is $0 as the Village has not
drawn on the line-of-credit.
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.
PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes for 2021 attach as an enforceable lien on January 1, on property values assessed as of the
same date. Taxes are levied by December of the subsequent fiscal year (by passage of a Tax Levy
Ordinance). Tax bills are prepared by Lake County and are payable in two installments, on or about
July 1 and September 1 during the following year. The County collects such taxes and remits them
periodically. The allowance for uncollectible taxes has been stated at 1% of the tax levy to reflect actual
collection experience.
TAX ABATEMENTS
The Village has entered into a tax abatement agreement with Woodman’s Food Market, Inc. as an
incentive to stimulate economic development. The abatement is authorized through a Development
Agreement passed by the Village Board in Ordinance 2016-067 on December 19, 2018. Woodman’s
will be financially responsible for constructing all necessary offsite roadway and intersection
improvements as required by the Village, County, or State along the public roadways along the
perimeter of the property. The offsite improvements are estimated to be $4,000,000. The Village will
reimburse Woodman’s an amount not to exceed $4,000,000 for the roadway improvements and an
additional payment of $3,000,000 for a combined total of $7,000,000. In order to promote and assist
Woodman’s with the project, the Village agrees to share certain sales tax received that corresponds to
the new sales tax revenue generated from the retail sales of the project. The sales tax allowable is
limited to the sales tax associated with grocery, general merchandise, and products only. Woodman’s
must acquire or otherwise be authorized to use the premise in Buffalo Grove, construct and operate the
business, and construct the offsite roadway improvements to be eligible for the incentives. As of
December 31, 2022, the Village owes Woodman’s Food Market, Inc. $521,798.

Village, the Village agrees to share home rule sales tax received by the Village using a formula which
corresponds to new sales tax generated by Zonatherm over a finite period of time. For the fist sales tax
year, 100 percent of that year’s incremental municipal sales tax above the base of $100,000 will be paid
to Zonatherm. For the second sales tax year 90 percent of that year’s municipal sales tax above the base
of $100,000 will be paid to Zonatherm. For the third sales tax year 80 percent of that year’s municipal
sales tax above the base of $100,000 will be paid to Zonatherm. For the fourth sales tax year 70 percent
of that year’s municipal sales tax above the base of $100,000 will be paid to Zonatherm. For the fifth
sales tax year 60 percent of that year’s municipal sales tax above the base of $100,000 will be paid to
Zonatherm. For the sixth sales tax year 50 percent of that year’s municipal sales tax above the base of
$100,000 will be paid to Zonatherm. For the seventh sales tax year 50 percent of that year’s municipal
sales tax above the base of $100,000 will be paid to Zonatherm. The entire distribution cannot exceed
$500,000 in aggregate. This agreement will end upon the completion of the seventh year or the
$500,000 cap. In the event that Zonatherm ceases the business with seven years or generate less than
$1,000 in sales tax in any sales tax year, Zonatherm shall reimburse the Village 100 percent of the
municipal sales tax payments received. The Village had no incentive payments for the year ended
December 31, 2022.
In order to encourage BITS to relocate its business operation to the Village of Buffalo Grove, and to
assist with their project in the Village, the Village agrees to share a portion of its home rule sales tax
received by the Village using a formula which corresponds to new sales tax revenue generated by the
business over a finite period of time. For the first sales tax year, 75 percent of that year’s home rule
sales tax received by the Village for the first $40,000,000 in annual taxable sales and 100 percent ofthat
year’s home rule sales tax for annual taxable sales greater than $40,000,000. For the second sales tax
year, 75 percent of that year’s home rule sales tax received by the Village for the first $40,000,000 in
annual taxable sales and 100 percent of that year’s home rule sales tax for the annual taxable sales
greater than $40,000,000. For the third sales tax year, 75 percent of that year’s home rule sales tax
received by the Village for the first $40,000,000 in annual taxable sales and 100 percent of that year’s
home rule sales tax for the annual taxable sales greater than $40,000,000. For the fourth sales tax year,
75 percent of that year’s home rule sales tax received by the Village for the first $40,000,000 in annual
taxable sales and 100 percent of that year’s home rule sales tax for the annual taxable sales greater than
$40,000,000. For the fifth sales tax year, 75 percent of that year’s home rule sales tax received by the
Village for the first $40,000,000 in annual taxable sales and 100 percent of that year’s home rule sales
tax for the annual taxable sales greater than $40,000,000. For the sixth sales tax year, 75 percent of that
year’s home rule sales tax received by the Village for the first $40,000,000 in annual taxable sales and
100 percent of that year’s home rule sales tax for the annual taxable sales greater than $40,000,000.
Should BITS relocate or cease its business within the first two years of the agreement BITS shall
reimburse the Village 85 percent of the total home rule sales tax distributed. Should BITS relocate or
cease business after two years of this agreement than BITS agrees to reimburse the Village 75 percent

FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS
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.

Plan Descriptions
Plan Administration. All employees (other than those covered by the Police Pension Plan and the
Firefighters’ Pension Plan) hired in positions that meet or exceed the prescribed annual hourly standard
must be enrolled in IMRF as participating members. The plan is accounted for on the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Employer and employee
contributions are recognized when earned in the year that the contributions are required, benefits and
refunds are recognized as an expense and liability when due and payable.
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.

Benefits Provided - Continued. 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.
Plan Membership. As of December 31, 2021, the measurement date, the following employees were
covered by the benefit terms:
Inactive Plan Members Currently Receiving Benefits 124
Inactive Plan Members Entitled to but not yet Receiving Benefits 72
Active Plan Members 84
Total 280
Contributions. As set by statute, the Village’s Regular Plan Members are required to contribute 4.50%
of their annual covered salary. The statute requires employers to contribute the amount necessary, in
addition to member contributions, to finance the retirement coverage of its own employees. For the
year-ended December 31, 2022, the Village’s contribution was 11.64% of covered payroll.
Net Pension (Asset). The Village’s net pension (asset) was measured as of December 31, 2021. The
total pension liability used to calculate the net pension (asset) was determined by an actuarial valuation
as of that date.
Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation performed,
as of December 31, 2021, using the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

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:

Cash and Cash Equivalents 1.00%(1.45%)
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.25%, 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 net 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 rate that is one percentage point lower or one percentage point higher than the current rate:

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, 2022, the measurement date, membership consisted of the
following:
Inactive Plan Members Currently Receiving Benefits 62
Inactive Plan Members Entitled to but not yet Receiving Benefits 10
Active Plan Members 58
Total 130
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
60 and receive a reduced benefit. The monthly benefit of a police officer 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 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 48 consecutive months of service within the last 60 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, 2022, the Village’s contribution was 48.24% 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,
2022, 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 3.75% - 8.42%

Mortality rates were based on the PubS-2010 adjusted for plan status, demographics, 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:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT
AUDITING STANDARDS
June 14, 2023
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, Illinois, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes
to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements, and have
issued our report thereon dated June 14, 2023.
Report on 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) as a basis for designing 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
or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
166
Village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois
June 14, 2023
Report on 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
financial statements. 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.
