RE: Transmittal of the FY21/22 Proposed Budget
The City's annual Ftscal year budget covers the period beginning May 13� and ending April
30��. The budget document itself, upon completion, contains information relative to
estimated revenues and planned operational and capital expenditures far the various funds
of the municipality for the identified fiscal year.
Although the budget is not formally adopted by the City Council until April of each year, the
budget development process officially begins each October with the preparation of the
annual tax levy, which is used to fund many of the current programs and services, along with
the development/update of the five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The budget
preparation process provides the various divisions and departments of the City with the
opportunity to review accomplishments, set goals and objectives, and identify the means For
accomplishing these goals and objectives.
Every employee of the municipality plays a role in the budgeting process - be it formulation,
preparation, implementation, administration, or evaluation. Ultimately, Department
Directors, through the Finance Director and City Administrator, are accountable to the City
Council and to the residents of McHenry for the performance of departments in meeting the
goals and objectives of a full service municipality, and for the diligent Fiscal management of
funds, as set forth in the budget document.
Department Directors, with input From their respective managers, superintendents and
departmental staff, analyze historical data, review existing operational needs, and project
anticipated operational needs in order develop line -item budget requests that allow them to
maintain or enhance the level of programs and services within their departments. These
detailed requests submitted to the City Administrator and Finance Director, and meetings
are held with Department Directors to review and adjust requests based on identified need
and anticipated revenues, ]seeping in mind the overall services that the municipality must
provide to residents. As always, it is the goal of the City Administration to present Council
with a balanced operating budget. This goal is able to be achieved in the attached budget
information.
The COVID-19 Pandemic presented the City of McHenry with a significant financial challenge
in FY20/21. The unknowns associated with economic impact of the pandemic were
estimated to reduce revenues by as much as 20%. In response to this threat, and with the
full support of the City Council, the City Administration moved to immediately defer or
reduce expenditures and put in place a number of internal controls to protect the financial
stability of the municipality. Ultimately, revenue losses never reached the 20% level,
primarily due to a recovery in retail expenditures and revenue assistance through the CARES
Act. However, the City was still able to reduce FY20/21 expenditures by more than $1.9
million dollars, resulting in a net addition to the General Fund Balance by approximately
$1.15 million.
The FY21/22 Budget, as proposed, includes extremely conservative revenue projections as
we continue to monitor the pandemic and its impact on municipal revenues. Budget
expenditures include an 8.8% reduction in personnel costs, achieved through a combination
of cost savings through employee retirements and attrition, reorganization, and the decision
in FY20/21 to bond the outstanding police pension liability. The budget includes more than
$6 million in capital projects, including a $2.1 million local road program.
In closing, the following budget document provides accountability for each and every dollar
that the municipality brings in as revenue and plans for expenditure. Further, the document
includes analyses and recommendations based on the best available information that staff
has at the time of budget development and reflects a commitment to meeting or exceeding
budgetary guidelines as established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local
Budgeting and the Government Finance Officers Association best practices on budgeting.

History and Demographic Snapshot of McHenry
McHenry is located in east -central McHenry County, SS miles northwest of [he Chicago Loop and 35
miles From O'Hare International Airport. The Glty is centered on two major State highways -Illinois
Route 31, which runs north/south From Wisconsin to South Blgin; and, Illinois Route 120, which runs
east/west From Woodstock to Park City. The Clty consists of approximately 13 square miles in land
area.
In 1832 Major William McHenry led an expeditionary force through northern ❑llnols durtng the Blacic
Hawl< War. Settlement oFthe Fox River Valley began over the next few years, and on the river's west
booty at the site of an old Indian Ford, the hamlet of McHenry established In 3636.
The McLean, Whee]er, MCCullom, and Boone families were lnFluential in the community's early years.
A sawmill, hotel, and ferryboat wer¢ in operation by 1837 and legislation creating McHenry County
was passed that year, and the village served as county seat until 1844.
Gr(stmllis started along newly dammed Boone Creelc, and a wagon road entered town From the south
In iB51. In 1864, the famed Riverside Hotel was built and still stands today.
George Gage, who served as the region's first state senator (1854-1658), owned the lands west of
the millpond, and was able to secure the route oFthe Pox Valley Railroad (aRerward a branch of the
Chicago Se North Western) from Chicago in 1854. Consequently, Gagetown (later West McH enryJ
began to eclipse the older east side of town conta[ning the Riverside section and Green Street area,
once known as Centerville. This can still be detected In the distinct commercial pattern that
characterizes McHenry's "downtown."
The village incorporated fn 1872. Though there were fewer than 800 inhabitants, commerce
flourished. By 1876 there were seven churches and over 60 enterprises, including Hour mills,
harnessmakers, a p/tide factory, a brewery, seven saloons, and a newspaper. The n¢wspap er, the
McHenry Plaindea/er was in publication From 1875 to 1965.
Over the next 50 years McHenry grew slowly. During the 1920's the town became known as a resort
destination because of the Fox River, surrounding lakes, and easy accessibility From Chicago. Bands
played at local pavilions, trainloads of visitors arrived to tam- the famous lotus beds, and summer
cottages proliE rated along the Pox River. Aboat-building industry Flourished; marine recreation still
remaf ns Important. Por decades, McHenry took very seriously its title as the "Gateway to the Chain-
oF-Lal<es" and this is still evidenced today In the clty's motto "Heart of the Pox River."
With the advent oEthe automobile, State Route 120 crossed the Fox River on a new two-lane bridge.
The old wagon troll, now Highway 31, doglegged along the same route for a critical half mile before
turning north toward Wisconsin. These conflguratlons effectively relocated the dty's commercial
center to Route 120, and had the unintended side effect of Isolating the original business districts
(West Mafn, Riverside Drive, and Green Street).
In spite of its beauty and strong attraction to tourists, McHenry owed her growth to the stability
provided by the many Farmers who worked the Fertile land as well as the establishment of industry
with new Factories such as Admlra4 Borden and The Hunter Boat Company. The Fox River helped
Facilitate the import and export oFlumber, cigars, clay, Food products and brewing which all helped
draw new residents to the area. The drainage of a large 60 acre pond that previously div(ded the
community in half; contributed to increased development and improved roadways, while the railroad
allowed commuters to Rnd this area the perfect place to settle with their Families.
Anew wave of industry, including automotive components, electronics, and metalworking, swept
Into town afl:er World War lI. The Northern lilinofs Medical Center, begun in 1956 as a 23-bed
community hospital, evolved into a regional trauma center serving two states. Beginning in the late
1940s, subdivisions were annexed on all sides of the city. By this time, many residents were
commuting tc work in other localities, Including Chicago. MCHenry's population tripled from 2,080
in 1950 to 6,772 in 1970, and tripled again to 21,SOi fn 2000.
McH enry's current population is approximately 27,000, including 10,075 households, an average
household size of 2.66, and median household income of $66,024. OF the 10,075 households,
approximately 7,719 are owner -occupied and Z,356 are renter occupied. The median resident age is
37.1. The City's 2017 HAV was $636,080,966.
The City currently has more than 2,000 approved unplatted lots and platted vacant lots. Active
subdivisions in the City /nclude: Abbey Ridge, Boone Creek, Burning Tree, Chesapeake Hilts,
Deerwood Estates, Evergreen Parks, Foxcroft Ridge, Glacier Ridge, I{nox Farm, Legend Lakes, Llb crty
Trails, Lincoln Hills, Martin Woods, Morgan Hill, Oaks at Irish Prairie, Patriot Estates, Prairie Lalces
and Preserves at Boone Creels.
Total number of businesses In the City is 1,473 and total employment [s approximately 19,661, wick
an employee/residential population ratio of 73:1. The City's three largest employment sectors, by
number of employees, are: Healthcare and Social Assistance: 5,136 employees/26%; Retail Trade:
3,139 employees/16% and Manufacturing: 2,418 employees/12.3%.

Basis of Accounting and Budgetin
The City of McHenry uses the modiF ed accrual basis of accounting to budget and account for
transactions of the governmental funds. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recognized
when susceptible to accrual (when they are measurable and available) and expenditures are
recognized when the fund liability Is incurred. For the City's proprietary Fuuds the Ctty uses the
accrual basis of accounting. Under this basis, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when the liability Is Incurred. The City prepares the budgets For proprietary Funds
consistent with this basis except the[ capital outlay items are included in the budget.
The City prepares its budget on a basis consis[ent with generally accepted accounting principles
except that the City also recognizes encumbrances Ear budgetary purposes. Encumbrances lndude
supplies ordered but not received, and services contracted but not yet expended by the Gity.
Sncuinbrances are charged against a budget or appropriation for account purposes. Accordingly,
expenditures/expenses in this document include encumbered expenditures/expenses.
Sncumbranres do not lapse at year-end and provide au[horizatf on For ¢xpenditures/expenses For the
following year.
The CITY appropriates Funds Eor capital projects on a Eiscal year basis. The Cap[tal Projects sec[ion of
this document includes descriptive Information on each project with estimated costs and Einandng

document
Department Directors, with 9nput from their respective managers, superintendents and
departmentai staff analyze historical data, review existing operational needs, and project anticipated
operational needs in order develop detailed line -item budget requests that allow them to maintain
or enhance the level of programs and services within their departments. These detailed requests are
then submitted to the City Administrator and Finance Director, meetings are held with Department
Directors to adjust requests based on anticipated revenues keeping In mind the overall needs of the
municipality, and the Eund line item requests Found In the attached budget document are identified.
Budget Appropriation and Supplemental Appropriation
While the approved budget document establishes the estimates for revenues and guidelines for
expenditures oFthe municipality, the City is required to conducts public hearing and adopt an annual
appropriation ordinance each July. The appropriation ordinance provides the legal authority to
allocate funds to specific spending activities and establishes the City's legal spending Ifmlt for the
fiscal year.
During the fiscal year it may be necessary, From time to time, to amend the approved budget (see
Budges Amendment Process below). As a result, in October Following the close of [he fiscal year
iz
period (April 30r��) the City is required to pass a supplemental appropriation ordinance Yo amend the
original appropriation ordinance to account for thes¢ budge[ amendments.
Budget Amendment Process
White budgets are prepared at the operational line item level and approved by Council at the fund
line Item ]evel, budge[ amendments are brought before Council, per the Purchasing Pa!!cy and
Procedures approved in 2016 and updated in 2020.
Budgetary Can[rols
Without proper Internal financial controls, the budget document will not serve Its role as a guidance
tool for City programs and projects. To this end, the Finance Department prepares monthly reports
which are reviewed by the Finance Director, respective Department Directors, and the City
Administrator. These monthly reviews provide, at a minimum, an opportunity to matte operational
adjustments throughout the year as necessary. Any deviations From the fund budgetary amounts are
discussed fn this document and, when necessary, soluttons are presented. Quarterly Financial reports
are also transmitted to the City Council Yta a City Govndl Meeting Consent Agenda to ensure that the
elected body is consistently apprised of the status of municipal revenues and expenditures.
Pr¢paration to Achi¢ve th¢ Gov¢rnm¢n[ Pinanc¢ Officers Association (GFOA) Budge[ Award
Beginning with the FY15/16 Budget, the City AdmiNstration committed to undertaking continuous
Improvements to the annual budget document that achieves the highest quality and reFlects both the
guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GPOA
best practices on budgeting. Wh11e some of these Improvements are subtle, or related to unseen
operational mediflcations, others are more visible -such as the redeye7opm¢nt of the budget to Its
current form aimed at providing the reader with a more understandable and transparent document.

The following table provides a summary overview of the staffing level of the municipality for the
previous Rve (5) fiscal years and identifies the proposed stetting level For FY21/22.
The increase 1n staffing levels in the General Pund from FY15/16 to PY17/18 of 15.42 employees was
primarily due to the development of the consolidated 911 dispatch center (NSACOM). During this
time period, ten (30) new dispatchers and one (1) civilian supervisor have been hired to fully staff
this facility. Importantly, the City of McHenry is responsible for only 46.84b of NeRCOM personnel
costs due to partnerships with the City of Woodstoclq City of Harvard and the McHenry Townsh[p
Fire Protection District which, through center revenues, pay the remainder oFthe costs. Prior to this
consol/daUon, the General Fund totaled 111.98 employees - 20.57 employees T_sss than FY07/O8
when measures were taken to reduce staffing due to [he recession. For FY21/22, overatl staffing has
been reduced by a total offour (4) Full tlme employees due Yo retirements/attrition and departmental
reorganizatlons.
staffing identified in the Recreation Center and Water and sewer F1mds is financed by revenues

C-enerai Fund Revenue. Hxpenditure and Rund Balance Summary
In summary, FY21/22 proposed General Fund Revenues and Expenditures reflect total
revenues of $24,178,312 (a decrease of $520,466 or 2.1% From the FY20/21 Budget
amount), and total op erattng expenditures of $23,963,697 (a decrease of $174,191 or 0.724/0,
less capital, from the FY20/21 Budget amount). This reflects a net d[fference [revenues
over expenditures) of $214,615. Importantly, this means that the proposed General
Fund Operating Budget, as presented, is BALANCHD.
While COVID-19 has made many revenues volatile over the last year, the City has been
Fortunate to see recovery in many revenue sources. While specifics will be detailed in the
discussion that Follows, the primary reasons For decreases in revenues relate to projections
For Local Sales Taxes (a decrease of $224,509), the projection For Video Gaming revenues (a
decrease of $50,000), Fines and Forfeitures (a decrease of $114�,000), Charges for Services
(a decrease of $131,950] and Reimbursements related to charges for dispatch fees and
internal fund transfers (a total decrease of $161,522). These are offset by an increase to
Sales Tax Revenues, which is a pr[marily tied to Use Tax Revenues from online sales (an
increase of $141,862). Also, Income Tax Revenue are estimated to increase ($159,253), but
this will be discussed in more detail later as this revenue source will have to be watched
closely as the State has proposed lowering this distribution by 10%.
[n regards to expenditures, Personnel costs are proposed to decrease by $1,591,344 (8.799k)
due primarlty to the movement oFa large portion of Police Pension Contribution expenses to
a Transfer Bxpense account due to the Issuance of the Pension Obligation Bond. If this
Pension Bond Payment was not moved out to a transfer account, the Personnel costs would
have increased by $75,953 (0.42eh) over the 20-21 Budgeted amount. It should be noted
that a portion of the Police Dispatch Center costs are offset by General Fund Revenue
increases in the Form of reimbursements (Row 22) From dispatch partner agencies and
as
customers. Notably, FY21/22 General Fund Expenditure proposed Contractual costs are
$153,180 (6.79%) lower than FY20/21, Supply costs reflect an increase of $13,275 (1.38%),
Other costs decrease $81,932 (7.03%), and Transfers reflect an increase of $1,638,990
(99.0%).
Finally, the FY21/22 General Fund Expenditures, as identified in this attachment, do not
include any transfers for Capital Improvement or Capital Equipment. As discussed as part of
the Capital Improvement Program process, Capital Improvement or Capital Equipment
projects implemented in FY21/22 will be funded through the General Fund Balance. All
General Fund Capital Projects that are identified for funding in FY21/22 are discussed on
pages 18 and 19 of this memorandum.
Carrying the General Fund Revenue and Expenditure estimates through the end of the fiscal
year (April 30t"), it is projected that the total General Fund Balance will be $8,186,345
(Column P, Row 43). As defined in the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy, the estimated
required 120-day General Fund Balance Reserve would be $7,946,826 and so the amount
projected is approximately $239,519 higher than the required General Fund Balance. As
will be identified, the projected General Fund Balance will be reduced by capital
improvement projects to be funded through the General Fund Balance so that is why there
will not be a transfer made to the Capital Improvement/Equipment Funds this year (Road
Program, Police Facility Improvements, Police Locker Room Expansion, Parking Lot
Improvements, Police Vehicle Equipment, Parks Ball Field Machine, Downtown Streetscape
Engineering (25%) and Barreville Road Culvert Wingwall Repair). Further, a reminder that
the FY20/21 Estimated General Fund Revenues and Expenditures are that, estimates, and
economic factors or unforeseen expenses could change these dollar amounts before the end
of the current fiscal year.
General Fund Revenues
General Fund Revenues are derived from a number of sources - taxes, video gaming, licenses
and permits, fines and forfeitures, franchise fees, charges for services, reimbursement for
services, donations, interest income, and other miscellaneous sources. While some
revenues, like Property Taxes, can be clearly identified and estimated based on the adoption
of the annual property tax levy, or based on historical performance, other revenues - such
as Sales Taxes and State Income Tax - can be volatile based on economic trends.
If anything, the economic recession of 2007/2008 sent a message to local governments that
economic -based revenues are not guaranteed and can fluctuate based on the economy and
disposable income. Actions taken at the local level to plan/adjust from this event resulted in
the establishment of a "new norm" for future budget considerations.
In estimating General Fund Revenues for the purpose of budget development, the City
Administration takes a conservative approach in order to: 1) ensure that General Fund
Revenue projections are not overstated to avoid deficit spending and the need to utilize the
General Fund Balance (e.g., 120 day unassigned fund balance) for operational expenses; 2)
limit excessive increases in operating expenditures; and 3) maintain a financial "buffer", in
the form of the General Fund Balance, to protect the City from future unforeseen economic
41
threats. Utilizing this philosophy, the City Administration then considers past revenue
performance, current economic trends, local economic conditions, and economic forecast
models developed by the Illinois Municipal League (IML) for use by local governments in
developing revenue projections for the purpose of budget development.
FY2O121 Budgeted Revenues (Column 0)
In FY20/21 total budgeted General Fund Revenues were $24,698,778 (Column 0, Row 26).
Of this, $4,950,359 (20%) was from Property Taxes, $8,071,089 (32.7)% was from the City's
1% share of the State Sales Tax, $2,986,908 (12.1%) was from the .7S% Local Sales Tax, and
$2,834,160 (11.S%) came from the City's share of the State Income Tax. Revenues derived
from these four (4) sources were budgeted at $18,84.2,516 or 76.3% of total General Fund
Revenues. Of the remaining $5,856,262 (23.7%) in budgeted General Fund Revenues,
$1,235,489 (S%) were from Charges for Services, $2,255,773 (9.1%) from Reimbursement
for Services, $426,000 (1.7%) from Fines and Forfeitures, $238,000 (0.96%) from Licenses
and Permits, $340,000 (1.4%) from Franchise Fees, $600,000 (2.4%) from Video Gaming,
$280,000 from Telecommunications Tax (1.1%) and the remaining $481,000 (1.9%) came
from all other sources combined.
FY2O121 Estimated Revenues (Column Q)
The following estimated revenues are based on 10-months of actual revenues and then
projected through the remainder of the fiscal year (April 30, 2021). Unfortunately, in some
cases this estimation is more difficult than simply dividing the 10-month actual by 10 and
multiplying by 12 because of when specific revenues are received. Further, FY20/21 Actual
revenues will not be known and confirmed until approximately 2-3 months (June -July) after
the close of the fiscal year due to the timing involved with the receipt of state -shared
revenues and, ultimately, the completion of the annual audit in September/October 2021, 4-
5 months into the new budget year.
At this time, estimated General Fund Revenues are projected to be $24,655,772 (Column P,
Row 26) or $43,006 (0.17%) lower than FY20/21 Budgeted revenues of $24,698,778. This
reflects an estimated increase of $958,009, or 4%, from FY19/20 Actual revenues of
$23,697,763.
Notably, FY20/21 Estimated Revenues, when compared to FY19/20 Actual revenues and
FY20/21 Budgeted revenues, highlight the following;
• (Row 10) State Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $125,618 (1.6%) lower than
budgeted and $134,648 (1.7%) higher than the FY19/20 Actual amount.
• (Row 11) Local Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $183,805 (6.2%) lower than
budgeted and $160,245 (6.1%) higher than received in FY19/20. It is important to
note that in July 2019 the Local Sales Tax rate was raised by 0.25% and FY20/21 is
the first full year with this higher rate.
42
(Row 10 + Row 11) Combined, total Sales Tax revenue is estimated to be $309,423
(2.8%) lower than budgeted and $294,893 (2.8%) higher than the FY19/20 Actual.
State Sales Tax have shown significant signs of an economic recovery since the
beginning of COVID-19, but are not increasing at rates seen prior to COVID-19. Also,
Local Sales Tax revenues do not include the sale of licensed or titled items - such as
cars, boats, motorcycles, etc. As such, while the economic recovery and resulting
increase in the sale of licensed vehicles had a positive impact on the City's portion of
the State Sales Tax, this aspect has had no impact on Local Sales Tax revenues.
• (Row 12) State Income Tax receipts are estimated at the same amount as budgeted
and $178,552 (6.7%) higher than FY19/20.
• (Row 17) Video Gaming revenues are estimated to be $429,026, or $170,974 (28.5%),
lower than budgeted and $104,321(19.6%) lower than FY19/20.
• (Row 20) Fines and Forfeitures revenues are estimated to be $165,478 (38.8%) lower
than budgeted and $88,553 (25.4%) lower than FY19/20.
• (Row 21) Charges for Services revenues are estimated to be $327,822 (26.5%) lower
than budgeted and $283,450 (23.8%) lower than FY19/20.
• (Row 22) Reimbursements for services revenues are estimated at $1,101,360
(48.8%) higher than budgeted and $1,284,740 (62%) higher than FY19/20. This is
due to the CURES/CARES Act reimbursement for COVID-19 eligible expenses.
• (Row 23) Interest Income revenues are estimated to be $120,000 (85.7%) lower than
budgeted and $132,344 (86.9%) lower than FY19/20.
In summary, FY20/21 Estimated Revenues are projected at $43,006 (0.170/0) lower
than budgeted primarily due to State and Local Sales Tax receipts, Video Gaming
receipts, Fines and Forfeitures, Charges for Services, and Interest Income. When
compared to FY19/20 Actual revenues, total General Fund Revenues increased
$958,009 (4%).
FY21122 Proposed Revenues (Column R)
FY21/22 Proposed General Fund Revenues represent a net decrease of $520,466 (2.1%)
from FY20/21 Budgeted revenues and an increase of $480,549 (2%) from FY19/20 Actual
revenues. Highlights of changes to General Fund Revenues proposed for FY21/22 include:
• (Row 9) Based on Council action to freeze the property tax levy, Property Tax
revenues are estimated to be flat over the FY20/21 budgeted amount.
• (Row 10) State Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $8,212,951, $141,862 or 1.76%
higher than FY20/21 Budget. This is primarily due to the increase in Use Tax from
online sales.
43
(Row 11) Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $2,762,399, a decrease of
$224,509 (7.52%) from the amount budgeted in FY20/21.
• (Row 10 + Row 11) Combined State and Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at
$10,975,350, a decrease of $82,647 (0.75%) from the FY20/21 Budget amount.
(Row 12) State Income Tax revenues are proposed at $2,993,413, an increase of
$159,253 (5.62%) from FY20/21. Regarding State Income Tax revenues, please note
the following:
o The Governor has proposed a 10% cut to the Local Government Distributive
Fund (LGDF) which includes the Income Tax distribution. This would mean
Income Tax revenues would decrease by approximately $299,341.
o The Governor has also proposed to close or modify corporate tax loopholes
which will provide local governments with additional LGDF disbursements
and should offset the 10% decrease.
o Staff will continue to watch these developments closely in case expense
adjustments need to be made in order to offset the decrease in revenue.
• (Row 14) State Telecommunication Tax revenues are proposed at $270,000, a
decrease of $10,000 (3.57%) from FY20/21 due to declining revenues over the last
few years.
• (Row17) Video Gaming revenues are proposed at $550,000, a $50,000 (8.3%)
decrease from FY20/21 Budget amount.
• (Row 20) Fines and Forfeitures revenues are proposed to decrease by $114,000, or
26.8% from the amount budgeted in FY20/21.
• (Row 21) Charges and Services revenues are proposed to decrease by $131,950, or
10.7% from the amount budgeted in FY20/21 due to charges for parks and recreation
programs as well as internal fund transfers.
• (Row 22) Reimbursements which includes the Police Dispatch Center revenues
derived from partner and customer agencies served through this facility, police
impound fees, and other miscellaneous reimbursements are proposed to decrease
$161,522 or 7.16%.
• (Row 23) Interest Income is proposed to decrease $120,000 (85.71%) due to
declining interest rates.
In summary, FY21/22 Proposed Revenues are $520,466 (2.11%) lower than budgeted
in FY20/21 and $477,460 (1.9%) lower than FY20/21 Estimated revenues. The
primary reasons for the proposed decrease include a decrease in the City's Home Rule
44
Sales Tax ($224,509), a decrease in the Telecommunication Tax ($10,000), a proposed
8.3% decrease in Video Gaming revenues ($50,000), a decrease in Fines and
Forfeitures Revenues ($114,000), a decrease to Charges and Services revenues
($131,950), and a decrease to Reimbursement Revenue ($161,522). These decreases
are offset by increases to State Sales Tax ($141,862), the City portion of the Income
Tax ($159,253), Franchise Fee revenues $10,000 (2.94%), and Licenses and Permits
revenue $19,500 (8.19%).
General Fund Expenditures
General Fund Expenditures include personnel, contractual, supplies and other operating
expenses related to the following operating budgets - Administration (100.01), Elected
Officials (100.02), Community Development (100.03), Finance (100.04), Human Resources
(100.05), Economic Development (100.06), Police Commission (100.21), Police (100.22),
Police Dispatch (100.23), Public Works -Administration (100.30), Public Works -Streets
(100.33), and Parks and Recreation (100.41).
In addition, the General Fund is the funding source for all capital improvement and capital
equipment projects that are not related to water and/or sewer improvements or
maintenance projects as these are funded through the Water and Sewer Fund and Capital
Development Fund. Finally, the General Fund also serves as a funding source for revenue
transfers to other municipal accounts found within Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service
Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Fiduciary Funds.
FY20121 Budgeted Expenditures (Column P)
In FY20/21, total budgeted expenditures (capital and operating) were $25,443,288.
Budgeted capital expenditures were $1,305,400 and budgeted operating expenditures were
$24,137,888. While this amount reflected an increase of $1,516,103 (6.3%) from the
FY19/20 Actual expenditures (Column N, Row 35), this difference was due to Capital
Improvement and Capital Equipment expenditures as well as the addition of two police
officers and other personnel adjustments.
FY20121 Estimated Expenditures (Column Q)
In general, the City Administration - including Department Directors, Superintendents, and
Managers - closely monitor expenditures throughout the year to ensure that operating
budgets stay within the approved amounts. Fiscal diligence on behalf of all of these
individuals most often results in expenditures being less than the amount budgeted. This
was especially true during FY20/21 as we were challenged with managing the impacts of
COVID-19 on municipal revenues and, related, expenditures.
For FY20/21, operating expenditures are estimated at $22,775,466, or $1,362,422 (5.6%)
less than the budgeted amount of $24,137,888. Highlights of changes to FY20/21 Estimated
Expenditures include:
• (Row 29) Reduced Personnel costs of $583,456 (3.2%) resulting from early
retirement offerings and positions being left unfilled.
45
• (Row 30) Contractual costs are estimated at $350,248 (15.5%) less than the original
budget.
• (Row 31) Supply costs are estimated at $277,578 (28.8%) less than budget. This is
largely due to lower costs in the Parks and Streets Division purchases.
• (Row 32) Other estimated expenditures are estimated at $77,753 less than the
original budget.
• (Row 33) Capital Outlay expenditures are $577,548 less than the original budget, but
some project expenses are rebugeted for FY21/22 for incomplete projects.
Note: City Administration anticipates changes to FY20/21 Estimated expenditures due to
increases or decreases in revenues and expenses through the end of the fiscal year.
FY21122 Proposed Expenditures (Column R)
FY21/22 Proposed operating expenditures represent a decrease of $174,191 (0.72%) from
the FY20/21 operating Budget amount of $24,137,888. Highlights of changes to General
Fund Expenditures proposed for FY21/22 include:
(Row 29) Personnel costs are proposed at $1,591,344, or 8.79% lower in FY21/22
than budgeted in FY20/21 due primarily to the movement of a large portion of Police
Pension Contribution expenses to a Transfer Expense account due to the issuance of
the Pension Obligation Bond. If this Pension Bond Payment was not moved out to a
transfer account, the Personnel costs would have increased by $75,953 (0.42%) over
the 20-21 Budgeted amount. Personnel costs include salaries, overtime,
health/dental/life/vision insurance, FICA, IMRF retirement, and uniforms. There are
a number of reasons for this increase.
1. Personnel costs related to salaries only for employees covered by collective
bargaining units - IUOE Local 150 (Public Works, Parks employees), FOP Unit
1 (Police Patrol), and FOP Unit 2 (Dispatch) - account for a $36,346 decrease
in salaries from FY20/21 to FY21/22 due to positions not being filled after
retirements.
2. Police Pension costs are proposed at $2,325,603, ($1,667,297 is a transfer to
the Debt Service Fund to cover the Pension Obligation Bond) an increase of
$93,861. Police Pension costs are determined by an actuary retained by the
Police Pension Board and are based on a number of factors, including wages,
investment rate, and age of the workforce. The City issued the Pension
Obligation Bonds to set the City up to be 100% funded by the required
deadline of 2040.
3. Non -bargaining unit employees and Police Sergeants salaries account for a
total decrease $37,580 of the Personnel costs due to positions not being filled
46
after retirement. Wage increases are included for Police Sergeants and other
non -bargaining employees based on a combination of the previous year's
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Areas (CPI-U), which was 0.9% in 2020,
and an additional merit increase of 2.1% based on performance evaluations.
4. Total Benefit costs are proposed to increase $54,337 due to increases to
insurance costs.
• (Row 29) Contractual costs are anticipated to decrease by $159,180 (7.05%) from the
amount budgeted in FY20/21 due to the removal of contracted snow removal and
street sweeping.
• (Row 30) Supplies expenditures are proposed to be increased by 1.38% ($13,275).
• (Row 31) Other expenditures are anticipated to increase by $1,639,892 (99.06%) due
to a transfer to debt service for the Pension Obligation Bond.
GENERAL FUND BALANCE:
On February 1, 2016 City Council adopted a new Fund Balance and Reserve Policy that, in
summary, established principles and parameters to which balances for all municipal funds
would be defined at the beginning of each budget period. This policy, which also meets the
reporting requirements of Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 54,
which requires the formal adoption of a policy for the classification of fund balances to
categories other than "unassigned", was established to provide financial stability in the
various municipal funds, ensure adequate cash flow for operations, and provide some
assurance that the City will be able to respond to emergencies with fiscal strength.
In regards to the General Fund Balance, specifically, the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy
states:
"General Fund - The unrestricted fund balance target should be set at 120 (4
months) of estimated operating expenditures including those expenditures
reported in other Governmental Funds that receive annual operating transfers,
with the exception of transfers intended to fund capital projects. If the
unreserved fund balance falls below 120, a plan will be developed to return to
the target balance. If the unreserved fund balance reaches a low of 90-day (3
months), the plan will be implemented to return to the fund balance to the target
within a reasonable amount of time. Onetime revenues shall not be used to fund
current operations."
This level of fund balance shall provide the capacity to:
IVA
• Offset unexpected downturns in elastic revenues due to fluctuations in the
local, state and national economies or the loss of major sales tax
contributor(s);
• Offset negative fiscal changes brought about by action or legislation of
another unit ofgovernment or agency;
• Ensure the continued, timely repayment of debt obligations that the City may
have in the event of a financial downturn;
• Provide a sufficient cash flow for daily financial needs at all times; and,
• Provide a funding source for unanticipated expenditures or emergencies that
may occur.
As identified, the parameters in this policy help to guide the City Administration in the
development of the annual budget by ensuring that the General Fund Budget is presented as
balanced, revenues over expenditures, while maintaining this reserve. Further, the
establishment of the target minimum of 120 days provides clarity in identifying the level of
funding that is available - once revenues, expenditures and fund balance are identified - to
address the City's capital needs. In other words, any funds remaining after meeting the
operational and reserve needs of the municipality are "Assigned for Capital."
As a reminder, a combination of the economic recession of 2007/2008 and the loss of a major
retailer resulted in the municipality taking measures to freeze or reduce expenditures. This
included operating costs and capital improvement and capital equipment projects. In 2009
the City implemented a .5% Local Sales Tax and specifically identified that the additional
revenues generated by this should be used for capital projects and Police Pension funding.
Since the first full year of implementation of the Local Sales Tax and as a result of a recovering
economy, the City has been able to: 1) adopt a balanced General Fund Budget, including
meeting Police Pension costs; 2) reintroduce capital improvement and capital equipment
projects; and, 3) rebuild the General Fund Balance.
In reviewing the General Fund Balance as part of this discussion, the FY20/21 Budget
includes a beginning fund balance of $7,033,891 (Column P, Row 6) based on FY19/20
audited financial information. Based on FY20/21 budgeted revenues, operating
expenditures, and capital expenditures (which were funded with fund balance), it was
anticipated that the ending fund balance would be $6,289,381(Column P, Row 43); the
estimated ending unassigned 120 day fund balance at $7,946,826 (Column P, Row 44);
showing a shortfall of $1,657,445 (Column P, Row 45) in developing the FY21/22 Budget. In
fact, even with lower than anticipated Revenues ($43,006), the ending Fund Balance is
anticipated to increase by $1,152,454 due to lower than budgeted overall Expenditures
($1,939,970). The FY21/22 Budget then identifies an estimated beginning fund balance of
$8,186,345 (Column R, Row 6). As in the discussion above, this amount will most likely
change upon completion of the annual audit however, this is not done until
September/October, 4-5 months after the budget is adopted and implemented.

These increases are offset by a decrease to part-time salaries of $17,784 due to moving the

As discussed earlier, Police Pension costs are determined by an actuary retained by the
Police Pension Board and are based on a number of factors, including wages, investment rate,
and age of the workforce. The City committed to full funding by 2040 which is why the City
issued the Pension Obligation Bonds to bring this funding under the City's control with the
anticipation that the City will save money. Contractual Services increase by $25,150 due to

11 lives through the use of Narcan and assisted 14 people into the "A Way Out Program".
Accreditation
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA) has been an ongoing partnership
for the police department since 2002. The purpose of CALEA is to improve the delivery of public
safety services, primarily by: maintaining a body of standards, developed by public safety
practitioners, covering a wide range of up-to-date public safety initiatives; establishing and
administering an accreditation process; and recognizing professional excellence.
108
• The continuous re -accreditation of the McHenry Police Department has proven that the
agency has set and followed the following goals set by CALEA.
• Strengthen crime prevention and control capabilities;
• Formalize essential management procedures;
• Establish fair and nondiscriminatory personnel practices;
• Improve service delivery;
• Solidify interagency cooperation and coordination; and
• Increase community and staff confidence in the agency.
• Developed a comprehensive, well thought out, uniform set of written directives.
• Established a preparedness program that is ready to address natural or man-made critical
incidents.
• Strengthened the agency's accountability, both within the agency and the community.

Community Outreach
The McHenry Police Department, in an effort to accomplish the agency's mission, participates in
many community outreach events each year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all in -person events
were suspended. Below highlights some of the more notable events that were able to occur in
FY2020/21.
Child Safety Seat Installations
The McHenry Police Department has a team of four certified car seat technicians dedicated to
providing education to parents and caretakers of young children. Members of the car seat team stay
certified by acquiring continued education credits and demonstrating their use of proper skills and
education techniques. Technician duties include offering free inspections of child's safety seats at
both our police department and scheduled events. In 2020, the McHenry Police Department installed
over 45 child seats and showed current parents and parents to be how to keep their families safe.
Adopt -A -School Program
In FY 2020/21, after the return of in -person classes, the McHenry Police Department continued the
agency's "Adopt -A -School" program. This program pairs individual officers with specific grade
schools with the community to increase awareness and safety within those schools. The program
entails individual Day Shift patrol officers being assigned there own specific grade school. The
objective is for the officers to get to know the faculty and students at their respective school so that
the police department can provide a better service. This program involves activities such as foot
patrols, classroom instruction blocks, training exercises, and a community approach to solving
problems within our schools. The plan is designed to further the McHenry Police Department's
mission of increasing school safety in our local schools.
Social Media Messaging
During FY2020/21, the McHenry Police Department continues its efforts to reach community
members through social media. These platforms disseminate critical information and also help us
show the lighter side of the department's daily operations.
Recognizing that many in and around our community utilize social media as an information source,
the police department improved its efforts on Facebook and Twitter, increasing our followers from
the previous year and having a reach of over 13,000 people on Facebook.
109
Since 2009, the McHenry Police Department has been using Nixle to communicate emergency
messages in real-time. The police department currently has over 20,000 subscribers to this free
service.

Athletics
® All programs were put on hold or cancelled during the Spring of 2020 due to the COVID
guidelines. Some programs were able to be implemented in the summer following COVID
guidelines while other parks departments had cancelled everything until fall. Staff did a
great job of ensuring COVID protocols were followed while offering some normalcy in
programming.
In total, the department ran 22 programs over the summer with a total of 79 athletes
enrolled. The toddler leagues for soccer and t-ball continue to be successful and a hit for
summer programming.
® The adult softball leagues ran in a shortened form in the summer and fall. Teams spoke
highly of the condensed format for fall and having two games a night. Five teams
participated in a summer league that lasted for 6 weeks. That number expanded to 22 teams
in the fall ball league.
® Fall swim team registration rose with 30+ new swimmers bringing the fall/winter team
total up to 87 athletes. The department hosted a USA Swimming sanctioned meet in
November before the Tier 3 closure.
In the fall of 2020 the department formed a new partnership with Running Junction Stables.
Through this partnership horseback riding lessons were brought back to our parks program
offerings. We had a class run in October with 5 students. We look forward to expanding our
partnership with them at their new barn opening in January.
The program offerings were extremely limited this year in large part due to facility
availability. We lost all indoor locations with the schools being closed. Thankfully, it was a
great fall to get some outdoor activities in. The department was able to get 7 outdoor fall
programs in and serve 48 kids from September to October before the weather changed.
The newly installed pickleball courts at Knox Park gained more than 3,000 exposures on
Facebook including being shared on Star 105.5. An equipment check out was set up at the
recreation center front desk for players that included a small rental fee of $5. The courts
saw a busy first year with anywhere from 8-10 people waiting to play during peals times. It
was a great addition that had been requested for the last 4 years.
Field rental revenue greatly increased with local organizations suspending play and outside
organizations looking for space. We were able to bring in $8,000 in field rentals utilizing our
parks across town. We will continue to work with local affiliate groups on field usage.
Aquatics
Due to COVID, there was a large increase in the number of people utilizing the beach. At the
beach patrons were able to social distance, swim, and utilize our boat rentals. Our pool did
open in August after the completion of our liner project. Having both of these facilities
opened helped us serve the community while other districts closed for the entirety of the
2020 season.
144
® The beach had 2,206 visit and brought in a revenue of $11,000 from admissions. It is the
most that we have ever had, and it occurred in just two months.
® The pool had some upgrade projects during the 2020 season which included gutter concrete
work, gutters painted, a new pool liner and chemical control system installed. The hope is
for the improvements to help the pool operate efficiently for future seasons.
Staff did a great job of implementing the new COVID protocols at the facilities which
included cleanings between swim sessions, constant equipment disinfection, facility
limitations on number of patrons, and adhering to social distancing rules.
® In total 563 people visited the pool during the 2020 season. Annual pool passes were not
sold in 2020 due to COVID.
® One the pool was reopened some smaller programs were able to be hosted. Ten (10) group
swim lesson classes were held. In addition 39 private swim lesson were sold. In August, we
ran a swim team stroke clinic for 35 swimmers.
® We had 4 private parties for the 2020 season.
Parks Improvements
Miller Point was once again the focus of some improvements along with a key
private/public partnership. The Parks and Recreation Department utilized Developer
Donation Funds to install floating boat docks, a sandy beach area and to run power and
water to an upscale shipping container that serves as the rental office and concession stand
for a boat rental business. The business provides paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, pedal
paddleboats as well as restored mini-retro boats. Covid restrictions significantly delayed
their opening and also limited their business to just one month however, it was very well
received by the community during that time.
0 As referred to earlier in this document the department was able to add two pickleball courts
to the Knox Park tennis courts. In addition to transitioning one of the tennis courts to the
new playing surface, all of the outdated and broken light fixtures were replaced with new
LED light heads.
Another instance of light head replacement occurred along the length of the Riverwalk.
Through routine maintenance inspections it was determined that there were a number of
the heads that had cracks in them. The Parks Maintenance Superintendent reached out to
the manufacturers of the lights. After a number of site visits and conversations, the
company agreed to replace all 43 light heads at no charge saving the city over $80,000. This
is a direct result of the relationships that Mr. Gorniak has fostered with the vendors he
utilizes.
® Also along the Riverwalk, new color changing LED rope lighting was installed on the
pedestrian bridge.
145
The very popular fire globe program was expanded once again this year through additional
donors, adding three more fire globes. There are now 11 total globes that are lit with fire in
September and October. The remainder of the year color changing LED's are placed in the
globes.
Nearly $200,000 was invested into another washroom remodel and expansion this past
year at Veteran's Memorial Park. The women's facilities went from 1 to 4 and the men's
from 2 - 4. This also included re -roofing the entire structure.
The city was able to demolish the former Court Street Water division building. A number of
donors stepped in to convert the site to additional downtown parking. The parks
maintenance purchased and supervised the install of the lighting on the project.
® Another demolition occurred at Neumann Park last year. Old carriage houses and
workshops were removed to aide in creating a visual link between the parking lots and the
street. This park also is being explored by abutting business owners for the potential for
use as outdoor patio space.
Street lighting on Green Street and Main Street were upgraded to LED light fixtures.
® Finally in the downtown areas, new street signage has begun to be installed. This will be a
phased approach as the conversion happens.
® A project that had been in the works for a number of years was completed at Petersen Park
last year. IN an ongoing effort to make the park as accessible as possible a path was paved
from the concession/washroom building around and in between softball fields 3 and 4.
® The basketball court at Shamrock Park was stripped and resurfaced in 2020.
® The Maintenance crews installed 175 tons of ballfield mix and spread over 300 yards of
mulch in our playgrounds.

Recreation Center
Fund
on Center Fund -Overview
In March of 1999 the City Council passed a
resolution stating that 50% of developer
donation Fees for parks were to be set aside for
the construction of a recreation center.
Consequently, the Recreation Center Fund was
created to account for these donations. In
addition, any future funding sources identified
For the construction of the Facility would be
deposited in this Fund and, further, the
expenditure of funds for the construction of a
recreation Facility would be taken from this
fund.
i�.r�
i i,
�� `�� _r
In 2013 and 2014 City Council undertook a process to evaluate the feasibility of various options for
recreation facilities, includ{ng Che development of a Family aquatics facility and/or a recreation
center. Ultimately, It was determined that a recreation center should be the primary focus,
construction began In 2015 and the McHenry Recreatlon Center was opened In Pebruary of 2016.
Construction was financed through a combination of cash payments from the Recreation Center Fund
and the issuance of debt. This was done to ensure that Funding remained 3n the Recreation Center
Fund tc cover any star[ -up operating shortfalls, to serve as capital improvement Funding For Facility
needs, or seed money for future expansions of recreation facilities.
In 2020, McHenry and the world navigated the Covld-19 pandemic. The restrictions imposed by the
State of 111inois closed the facility entirely for over 3 months. Hxtreme restrictive mitigations lasted
throughout the remainder of the 2020 and have cont[nued into 2021. This has had a near
catastrophic Impact on the membership levels at the Recreation Center. Membership levels have hit
the lowest levels ever at 1,300 active member and over 250 memberships on hold.
Recreation Center Fund - FY20/21 Accomplishments
Recreation Canter
Through the end of February 2021 we had 1,306 active fitness members. 7890 of those are
residents. These "ac Hue members" are paying members who are to an annual contract, :n
good standing, and ao not include employees, punch pass holders or other short term
memberships. These non-traditional membersh[ps account for approximately 70 addaic nal
memberships.
From January through end of December, the Rec Center received a total of 63,614 visits From
Fitness members.
Group exercise classes tonic on many formats this year as mitigations Forced the suspension
of l[ve Indoor classes on and ofE for much of the year. When the weather allowed classes were
moved outside. fintire class Formats were moved to thevirtual world, utilizing platFormssuch
as Zoom and VouTube. In all, aver 1H,000 un(que attendees ut[lized our group exercise
classes in ZOZO.
We offer 56 classes per week in categories ranging From HIIT, Strength, Mind/Body, Active
Adults, Barre, TRX, Cycle, Cardin Kickboxing, Dance, Pflates and Kettlebell.
. We lost many members due to the 2020 Covid Pandemic, and many more placed their
memberships on hold during this Hme. However, during this critical Ume our staFFwent above
and beyond offering zoom and YouTube classes throughout the entire year, made personal
wellness calls during our time of closure, and have lcep[ the cleanliness of our Facility of
utmost importance. Due to [his fact, it no[ only continued the family like atmosphere that we
strive for but also created a safe place of wellbeing for our members that Is so desperately
needed during these times of turmoil. Now that our members are venturtng out again, they
are also bringing their friends and Family to Join them, creating new memberships.

Water 8z. Sewer Fund
Water/Sewer Revenues and Public Works
Water, Wastewater, Utility Divisions
z�,
Sewer Fund -Overview
The Water and Sewer Fund is an enterprise fund —that is, a buslness-
type fund utilized to account for operations and activities that are
financed and operated in a manner similar to a private bus[ness
enterprise, and where the cost of providing goods and services Co the
general public on a continuing basis is expected Co be recovered
primarily through user charges, Inctud5ng operating costs and capital
improvement costs related to the maintenance of the water and
sewer utility systems. These fund the operations of the Water,
Wastewater and Utility Divisions 3n the Department of Public Works.
The operating Functions of these three divisions are to provide a safe
and reliable supply of high quality potable water and to protect public
health and the environment by treating sewage to meet stringent
environmental standards prior to discharge.
OF note, the Utility Dlvls[on was established In FY15/16, combining existing Water and Wastewater
DlvSsion Maintenance Workers to specifically address utility system maintenance needs more
routine]y. Prior to this, utility maintenance projects were addressed by either the Water or
Wastewater Division and often required coordination with the other division to ensure adequate
manpower. The creation of the Utility Division established a more efficient methodology to handle
util5ty maintenance projects. The expenses for the UtilSty Division are spl[t between the Water and
Wastewater Divisions as Follows - approximately 63.7� of operating expanses are paid from the
Water Division and the remaining 36.346 are paid from the Wastewater Division. Capital expenses
are charged to the division that beneFits from the maintenance project.
In general, water and sewer revenues are derived directly from water and sewer sales, base charges,
connection fees, and service penalties and should be su Fficfent to fund the operating and capital costs
for the Water, Wastewater and Utility Divisions. Importantly, water and sewer revenues are driven
by consumption and, as such, with a growing awareness of water conservancy (which the City
supports) and wetter than average summer months, consumption has been relatively Flat over the
last two years.
Prior to FYlS/16, water and sewer rates were adjusted annually based primarily on the Consumer
Price Index (CPI). Vnfortunately, this CPl adjustment dtd not correlate to the actual cost oFoperatlons
For McHenry's Water and Wastewater Divisions and d5d not account For the spec5fic capital
infrastructure needs of [he municipality. This resulted in a shortfall in water and sewer revenues
and an inability to fund water and sewer capital projects oFthe existing systems. To address th[s the
City commissioned a water and sewer rate study that was completed in FY13/14. The results of this
analysis identtfied the need to adjust water and sewer rates at that tune and to annually review and
adjust water and sewer rates based on operational costs and implement water and sewer base Fees
to Fund utility system capital improvements.
The narrative that Follows provides a snapshot of the status of the Water and Sewer Fund and
Identifies operational and capital expenses. This is Followed by more detailed summaries of the
Water, Wastewater and Utility Divisions of the Department of Public Works.
205
FY21122 Water Division
FY21/22 Water Division operating expenditures are proposed at $2,456,112, an increase of $7,164
from FY20/21. This increase is due primarily to personnel cost increases in the Utility Division that
the Water Division is responsible for. Budgeted Operating Revenues for FY21/22 include a
recommended water rate increase of 8% (3.54 to 3.82 per 1,000 gallons) in order to meet the
budgeted operating expenses. This is the same rate increase that was recommended for FY20/21
that was not implemented. Rates will be further addressed after the budget is approved and
discussed with Council before they need to be adjusted in August.
It is estimated that the existing $2 capital base charge will generate $125,000 in FY21/22 for capital
projects. In FY21/22 this amount, along with Water and Sewer Fund Balance, will be used to fund
the following water system capital project identified in the Water and Sewer Fund CIP - $200,000 for
Route 31 Utility Relocation Design Engineering. Overall rate increases will be discussed on the base
rate at a further date when repair/reconstruction projects for water/sewer are discussed and
prioritized.
FY21122 Wastewater Division
FY21/22 Wastewater Division operating expenditures are projected at $3,294,276, a decrease of
$82,230 from FY20/21. This decrease is due to lower GO Bond Principal and Interest payments due
to refunding the 2010C GO Bond. Proposed operating revenues for FY21/22 include a
recommended sewer rate increase of 5% (4.00 to 4.20 per 1,000 gallons) in order to meet the
budgeted operating expenses. Rates will be addressed after the budget is approved and discussed
with Council before they need to be adjusted in August.
It is estimated that the existing $4 capital base charge will generate $270,000 in FY21/22 for capital
projects. This amount, along with existing Water and Sewer Fund Balance is used to complete capital
projects, in FY21/22 no capital projects are identified to include in the budget. Overall rate increases
will be discussed on the base rate at a further date when repair/reconstruction projects for
water/sewer are discussed and prioritized.
FY21122 Utility Division
FY21/22 Utility Division operating expenditures are projected at $1,017,301, a decrease of $29,109
from FY20/21. Personnel Costs have decreased by $21,609 due to restructuring in the Public Works
Departments. As identified in the Water and Wastewater discussions above, the Utility Division is
funded through transfers from the Water and Wastewater Division revenues. If in one year the
transfers from the Water and Wastewater Division exceed expenses within the department,
adjustments are made in following fiscal years. This will result in lower operating budgets for the
Water and Wastewater Divisions.

the plan is obligated to pay the defined beneFlt If the pension plan makes unwise investment
decisions, the City is currently obligated to guarantee the obligations. However, as of the year 2033,
the pension plan will be self-supporting with no Fur[hec obligations placed on the City.
In FY20/21 the City bonded the outstanding Pol1c¢ Pension balance to achieve the self-supporting
level and, as such, the Flnandal commftment will be relatively fixed moving Forward.

• With the implementation of GASB 54, the fund balance structure for governmental funds
changed as of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012. Multiple fund balance classifications
include: Non -Spendable, Restricted, and Unrestricted, with unrestricted being further
broken down into: Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned.
• Expenses that can be attained from multiple fund classifications shall be used from the most
to least restrictive fund. With the discretion of the Finance Director, and with the advice and
consent of the Finance and Personnel Committee, a deviation can be made from this policy if
it is in the best interest of the City of McHenry.
• Fund classifications are described by the following:
o Non -Spendable Fund Balance - (1 of 2 conditions)
■ Amounts that are not in spendable form
➢ Can never be spent (i.e., Inventory, Prepaid Rent)
➢ Cannot currently be spent because of cash flow timing (i.e., Long -Term
Receivables)
268
■ Amounts that are required to be maintained intact (i.e., principal of an
endowment)
o Restricted
■ Externally enforceable legal restrictions (i.e., grants, debt proceeds, tax levies)
o Unrestricted (3 designations)
■ Committed - Amounts constrained for a specific purpose by a government
using its highest level of decision -making authority
➢ Must be committed prior to fiscal year-end, however, dollar amount
can be decided at a later time.
➢ Revenues reported within any given special revenue fund are
considered "Committed" by the City Council in accordance with GASB
Statement 54 and are intended to be used for the related purpose.
■ Assigned - Amounts constrained, for the intent to be used for a specific
purpose by the City Administrator and Finance Director
➢ Includes any remaining positive balances in governmental funds
(other than the General Fund) that is not classified in any other fund
balance category

classified in a previous category and amounts have not been expended in
excess of resources available in other governmental funds
Proprietary (Enterprise/Internal Service) Fund Equity
Proprietary funds include Enterprise and Internal Service Funds.
Expenses that can be attained from multiple fund classifications shall be used from the most
to least restrictive fund. With the discretion of the Finance Director, and with the advice and
consent of the Finance and Personnel Committee, a lesser restrictive net asset classification
can be used if they determine that it is in the best interest of the City.
The net assets will be composed of three primary categories:
o Net Investment in Capital Assets - That portion of a proprietary fund's net assets
that reflects the fund's net investment in capital assets less any amount of outstanding
debt related to the purchase/acquisition of said capital assets.
■ Related debt, for this purpose, includes the outstanding balances of any
bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the
acquisition, construction, or improvement of capital assets of the
Government.
o Restricted Net Assets - That portion of a proprietary fund's net assets that are
subject to external enforceable legal restrictions (e.g., grantor, contributor and bond
covenants).
o Unrestricted Net Assets - That portion of a proprietary fund's net assets that is
neither restricted nor invested in capital assets (net of related debt).
269
Fund Balance Parameters (By Fundy
• It is the City's philosophy to support long-term financial strategies, where fiscal sustainability
is it first priority, while also building funds for future growth. It is essential to maintain
adequate levels of fund balance to mitigate current and future risks and to ensure stable tax
levies. Credit rating agencies carefully monitor levels of fund balance to evaluate a City's
credit worthiness.
• Revenues received within a given fund are specifically committed for its related purpose.
Revenues reported within any fund may be modified from time to time through the annual
budget process.
• The following parameters will be used as part of the budget process to establish targets for
the following funds:
o General Fund - The unrestricted fund balance target should be set at 120 days (4
months) of estimated operating expenditures including those expenditures reported
in other Governmental Funds that receive annual operating transfers, with the
exception of transfers intended to fund capital projects. If the unreserved fund
balance falls below 120 days, a plan will be developed to return to the target balance.
If the unreserved fund balance reaches a low of 90 days (3 months), the plan will be
implemented to return the fund balance to the target within a reasonable amount of
time. One-time revenues shall not be used to fund current operations.
This level of fund balance shall provide the capacity to:
■ Offset unexpected downturns in elastic revenues due to fluctuations in the
local, state and national economies or the loss of a major sales tax
contributor(s);
■ Offset negative fiscal changes brought about by action or legislation of
another unit of government or agency;
■ Ensure the continued, timely repayment of debt obligations that the City may
have in the event of a financial downturn;
■ Provide a sufficient cash flow for daily financial needs at all times; and,
■ Provide a funding source for unanticipated expenditures or emergencies that
may occur.
Funds in excess of the minimum may be considered for the funding of one-time,
nonrecurring expenditures, assigned for future capital activities or used for the
funding of other long-term obligations.

water and sewer programs, fund depreciation, and build reserves for future capital
needs. Water rates for consumers will be reviewed on an annual basis based on
operating and capital needs. If the balances fall below the minimum, rates will be

Investment
Policy
It is Hte policy of the City of McHenry to invest public Funds in a manner which will provide
the highest Investment return with th'e maximum security while meeting the daily cash Flow
demands of the City and conforming Co all state and local statutes governing the investment
of public funds.
11. Scope
This policy includes all Funds governed by the Mayor and Council ("City Council").
[lI. General Ob�ecttves
The primary objectives, in priority order, of Investment acttvlties shall be safety, ]iqufdtty,
and yield:
A. Safety. Safety of prtncipal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation
of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and
interest rate risk.
1. Credit Risk. The City will minimize credit rlsl4 the r/sk aF loss due to the
failure of the security issuer or badceq by:
(a) Limiting investments to the safest types of secuHtfes.
(b) Pre -qualifying the financial institutions, brokers/dealers,
intermediaries, and advisers with which the City will do business.
(c) Diversifying the investment po Mfol/o so that potential losses on
Individual securities will be mfn[mized.
2. Interest Rate Risk. The City will minimize the risk that the market value of
securities in the portfolio will Fall due to changes 3n general interest rates, by:
(a) Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet
cash requirements For ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need
to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity.
(b) Investing operating funds primarily in shorter -term securities, money
market mutual funds, or similar investment pools.
B. Liquidity. The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all
operating requirements that maybe reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by
structurng the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent wtth cash needs to meet
zos
anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands
cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active
secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the portfolio also may
be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which
offer same -day liquidity for short-term funds.
C. Yield. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a
market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account
the investment constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary
importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core
of investments are limited to relatively low risk securities as identified in this policy
in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities
shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
1. A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of
principal.
2. A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the
portfolio.
3. Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.
IV. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person"
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment
officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and
exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual
security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are
reported in a timely fashion and the liquidity and the sale of the securities are carried out in
accordance with the terms of this policy.
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing,
which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the 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.
V. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal
business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the
investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions.
Employees and investment officials shall disclose any material interests in financial
institutions with which they conduct business. They shall further disclose any personal
financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment
portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking personal investment
transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
276
VI. Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the City Treasurer or his designee,
hereinafter referred to as Investment Officer. Responsibility for the operation of the
investment program is hereby delegated to the Investment Officer, who shall act in
accordance with established procedures and internal controls for the operation of the
investment program consistent with this investment policy. Procedures should include
references to: safekeeping, delivery vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase
agreements, wire transfer agreements, and collateral/depository agreements. No person
may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy
and the procedures established by the Investment Officer. The Investment Officer shall be
responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to
regulate the activities of subordinate officials.
VII. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
A list will be maintained of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services.
In addition, a list also will be maintained of approved security broker/dealers selected by
creditworthiness (e.g., a minimum capital requirement of $10,000,000 and at least five years
