CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: November 20, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: Consideration of a Resolution establishing the date and time of Monday,
December 18, 2023 at 7:00p.m. for conducting a Public Hearing for establishing
the 2023 City of McHenry Property Tax Levy in the amount of $3,074,352.
ATT: 1. Property Tax Rates and Amounts by Government Entity for – Resident
2. Police Pension Letter for 2024/25 Funding
3. 2023 Property Tax Levy Resolution
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the City Council with information needed for the
establishment of the 2023 Property Tax Levy amount and for the adoption of a resolution
identifying levy amount to be requested and establishing Monday, December 18th at 7:00p.m. as
the date and time for the conducting of the Property Tax Levy Public Heari ng and consideration
of the 2023 Property Tax Levy Ordinance.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
General Fund Revenues provide the funding source for operating and capital improvement costs
for all municipal departments except for the Water and Sewer Divisions of Public Works (water
and sewer receipts and base fees) and the Recreation Center (members fees). Examples of
capital improvement costs are facility maintenance and vehicle and equipment replacements.
The table below is provided as a reminder of the sources of revenue that comprise the General
Fund, along with the budgeted dollar amounts and corresponding percentages for Fiscal Year
23/24. Again, all General Fund revenues are accounted for in one of the line items below. As
Council can see, $22,572,094 (75.8%) of General Fund Revenues are comprised of four primary
sources – Property Tax, State Sales Tax, Local Sales Tax, and State Income Tax (shaded rows). Of
these four primary sources of funding, the municipality only has the ability and authority to adjust
two – Property Tax and Local Sales Tax. These two sources represent just 29.87% of General
Fund Revenues.

General Fund Revenues
FY2023/24
Property Taxes 5,027,941 16.90%
State Sales Tax 9,460,894 31.77%
Local Sales Tax 3,866,480 12.99%
State Income Tax 4,216,779 14.16%
State Replacement Tax 200,000 0.67%
State Telecommunications Tax 200,000 0.67%
Self Storage Tax 120,000 0.40%
Pull Tabs 1,000 0.00%
Intertrack Wagering 25,000 0.08%
Video Gaming 900,000 3.02%
Franchise Fees 380,000 1.28%
Licenses and Permits 295,000 0.99%
Fines and Forfeitures 363,000 1.22%
Charges for Services 1,213,289 4.07%
Reimbursement 3,078,871 10.34%
Interest Income 350,000 1.18%
Miscellaneous 77,000 0.26%
Total General Fund Revenue 29,775,254 100.00%
With this information, and as Council considers setting the Property Tax Levy amount moving
forward, it is important to identify that the City Administration has developed the Community
Investment Plan and revenues to address the needs within this plan have been identified through
Electric and Gas Use Taxes. As Council is aware, the Community Investment Plan is a long list of
projects, many of which are high priority, and the Electric and Gas Use Tax Revenue are not
enough to fund all the capital projects. Capital projects will be moved back into later fiscal years
based on the revenue available, but we have future projects in the Route 31 widening and the
potential Streetscape program that either must be funded or are high up on the priority list. As
is identified in the Community Investment Plan, FY24/25 has a shortfall in revenue for projects in
the amount of $585,000 (City Staff will have to identify projects that have to be moved to a later
FY), there are also $18,350,000 in projects that currently do not have any funding source (which
includes $13,500,000 in Streetscape Improvements, $1,750,000 for Riverwalk Phase 4, and Route
31 Improvements in the amount of $1,000,000).
With this in mind, it was the intention to have the revenues listed above be completely for the
operations of the City and staff is still committed to recommending property tax increases when
operating revenues do not meet operating expenses. But when Cap ital projects arise that need
a funding source it is important to discuss what this funding source is and as stated earlier the
City only has the authority to adjust a few of the revenue sources. As is defined in the Fund
Balance and Reserve Policy when the General Fund Balance has reached a level above the 120
day reserve balance (which in 23/24 is $9,739,783) the additional funds will be assigned for
capital. If property taxes are increased and not used for operational expenses this policy will
4
ensure that these funds are used for the unfunded capital projects. Currently the audit is not
completed, but it is estimated that the reserve for capital is going to be $2,700,000 and
$2,588,400 is budgeted in FY23/24 in capital from this reserve. This leaves just over $100,000 for
future projects. Also the FY24/25 budget process has not begun yet, but increases to operational
expenses is expected (due specifically to union contracts and inflation) and revenues have begun
to level out so it will be increasingly difficult to produce a balanced operating budget which is
something City Staff has committed to.
Despite the fact that as a “Home Rule” community the City of McHenry is no longer subject to
the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, or PTELL - which limits increases to residents’ property
taxes by preventing a local government’s property tax levy from growing at a faster pace than
the rate of inflation, or 5%, whichever is less - the City has continued to follow PTELL guidelines
for establishing the property tax levy. In fact, for the years 2011-2015 the City chose to maintain
a flat property tax levy request at the amount that was requested in 2010. In 2016, Council chose
to decrease the property tax levy request by 3%. And in 2017-2020 the levy was again maintained
flat from the 2016 reduced amount. 2021 was the first year that property taxes were increased
to the limited extension or 2.6% and in 2022 the levy was left flat at the 2021 amount.
Unfortunately, while the City has attempted to have an impact on reducing or limiting increases
to property taxes through these actions, a reduction to the City’s portion of the property tax levy
has not resulted in reductions to property tax bills. Change in EAV also drives change in the
property tax bill. When the EAV declines the tax rates must go up in order to fully fund the
property tax levy because the same amount of money needs to be collected across the new lower
values as requested by all taxing districts. For 2022, the EAV increased for the eighth consecutive
year so the tax rates for the City went down slightly lowering the City’s portion of the tax bill. In
fact, that portion of a resident’s tax bill directed to the City of McHenry was only 5.84% of the
total amount. However, this does not take into consideration actions taken by the other taxing
jurisdictions that comprise the total property tax bill. In 2023, it is estimated that the EAV will
increase about 3.6% which could result in a decrease in the property tax bills within the City with
a flat levy. Of course, this will be determined by each individual parcels EAV and some will
increase and some will decrease.
Based on the totality of the information that has been reviewed in this memorandum, staff is
forwarding a recommendation to leave the property tax levy flat for 2023. It is important to note
with the issuance of the Pension Obligation Bonds the City will have a separate levy for the annual
bond costs. The 2023 Pension Obligation Levy is $1,663,589. With this being said, the 2023 levy
will actually be set at $3,074,352 in order for the total levy (Pension Obligation Bond levy and
City Levy) to equal the 2022 Value.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if City Council concurs, a motion should be made to adopt the attached Resolution
establishing the date and time of Monday, December 18, 2023 at 7:00p.m. for conducting a
Public Hearing for establishing the 2022 City of McHenry Property Tax Levy in the amount of
$3,074,352 and, upon closing the Public Heari ng, the consideration of the 2023 Property Tax
Levy Ordinance in the amount of $3,074,352.

Re: Paid Leave for All Workers Act/Draft Ordinance
Dear City Administrator Derik Morefield and HR Director Ann Campanella:
Enclosed is a draft ordinance for your consideration to address the core requirements of the Paid Leave
for All Workers Act, 820 ILCS 192/1 et seq., as applicable to municipalities. While adopting such an
ordinance is a policy decision and not legally required, it should be noted that the alternative course of
action would be complying with the full requirements in the Act.
While this is a summary, complying with the full requirements of the Act would otherwise require
adapting existing leave time and policies or adopting a new category of leave time with the following
features, among others:
• Full-time employees would accrue no less than 40 hours of paid leave time per 12 months of
employment;
• The same accrual is prorated for part-time employees, and there is no exemption for seasonal
or temporary workers, meaning that they would also need to receive paid time off;
• This leave can be taken “for any purpose” and, generally, can be used by an employee without
the employer requiring an explanation or documentation;
• The leave can be utilized at the employee’s discretion before or after other leave time is utilized
and can be taken in no less than 2-hour increments; and
• The leave must either be front-loaded and given to the employee at the beginning of the accrual
year, or else the leave can be accrued but then it must be allowed to carryover to the next year.
While not specified in the Act, our interpretation is that home rule cannot be exercised based on the
statute addressing a statewide and uniform concern with paid leave benefits to all workers in the State
of Illinois. Section 15(p) of the Act does, however, provide the following exception for county and
municipal ordinances: “The provisions of this Act shall not apply to any employer that is covered by a
municipal or county ordinance that is in effect on the effective date of this Act that requires employers
to give any form of paid leave to their employees, including paid sick leave or paid leave.” The draft
ordinance would serve as such a municipal ordinance to address paid leave to employees through
existing leave policies, without necessarily adopting every requirement of the Act.
10
ZUKOWSKI, ROGERS, FLOOD & MCARDLE
PAID LEAVE FOR ALL WORKERS ACT/DRAFT ORDINANCE
More specifically, the ordinance would establish “Paid Leave Rights” as a part of the City Code, which
provides a guarantee of paid benefit time off to municipal employees. The amount of leave time
provided is what the Act would generally require as a minimum for full and part-time employees, to
create a floor. The ordinance then recognizes that other policies of the municipality may provide for
more paid time off, but that the minimum time cannot be diminished.
The reason the ordinance is designed this way, instead of simply adopting the existing personnel policy
by ordinance, is that any subsequent changes to the ordinance would then require full compliance with
the requirements of the Act: “Any local ordinance that provides paid leave…enacted or amended after
[January 1, 2024] must comply with the requirements of this Act.” Because personnel policies are ever
changing, it would not be feasible to simply adopt the existing policies or else the first time any portion
of the personnel policies is amended, the requirements of the Act would apply in full force and effect.
A few additional notes about the mechanics of the Act and the ordinance, should your municipality
choose to adopt it:
• The ordinance would need to be in effect before the end of calendar year 2023, and the intention
is that it would never be amended, which is why it is a floor, not a ceiling. Any changes to
policy would be done through personnel policies.
• Relatedly, personnel policy changes going forward would need to be done by motion or
resolution, not ordinance, because any future ordinance amending leave time would reactivate
all requirements of the Act. Section 4 of the ordinance addresses any preexisting policies that
were adopted by ordinance, so that future changes are no longer required to be adopted by
ordinance.
• Union contracts are also contemplated by the Act. The Act recognizes the continuation of any
collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that is in effect prior to January 1, 2024, to continue in
effect, without adding requirements of the Act through its expiration date. However, to avoid
the full requirements becoming applicable thereafter, the CBA must explicitly address that the
leave benefits provided in the CBA have been negotiated and that the parties agree to not adopt
the requirements of the Act, as stated.
Understanding that the Act is highly nuanced, we invite you to contact us directly with any questions
or just to talk through the mechanics. Again, this is ultimately a policy decision for the Council, and
the alternative to adopting the ordinance would be to incorporate the Act’s requirements in existing
policies, which can be done, but will likely require extensive changes to current leave policies and the
expansion of how employees can use leave time.
Please let us know how we can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
/s/ Bradford S. Stewart

Public Comment: none
Public Comment:
Hans Hermann, resident of McHenry Riverwalk, moved into the town 9 years ago, he gave
compliments to the city for all the wonderful improvements that have occurred. He is concerned
about new piers that were put in closest to his residence, stated there are several pier parties
4-5 hours at a time, and they have asked those involved to quiet down, etc., but they are
ignored. Stated that the gazebo smelled like urine, and there is an outlet in there where there
was a video game party going on because of it. Would like to get it rectified, talked to Alderman
Santi, and wanted to know who to work with to help with the situation, concerned about the
open alcohol idea as well.
Brigid Silver, a resident, has concerns about the open alcohol, worried about the top driver,
high school, and landmark school and concerned about congestion, and problems with the
music, stated that she cannot go to bed in her own home because the base is so loud and she
keeps calling the police. Not necessary to keep things open till 2 in the morning , it is bringing
more outsiders into the city and turning it into a free-for-all after 10:30.
Terry O’Brien, resident, complementing the Riverwalk. With the right proposal, the people could
continue to enjoy the area.

Morefield, he said he would.
Alderman Koch wanted to know about gaming, Administrator Morefield explained more about

B. Discussion and Direction - 2023 Property Tax Levy
Supplement Provided
Presented to the council, by Director Lynch. Always have had a public hearing
December 18th will be the date. There were three options listed on the information listed
by Director Lynch.
At the request of Alderman Glab, below is information regarding the amount of property tax
that has been given up due to the maintenance of a flat, or nearly flat, levy, since 2010.
Carolyn provided the information, Per Administrator Morefiled:
2010 was the last regular PTELL increase (other than the one time during the last 13
years). If we had increased our levy by PTELL each year in 2022 our levy amount would
have been $6,443,820. This means we gave up $1,682,184 in increases over this
time. Without these anctions, our PTELL would be $6,879,278 for the 2023 Levy which is an
additional $435,458 in General Fund Revenues.
Alderwoman Miller started the conversation by stating that it is how transparent the city has
been especially being home rule, where it doesn’t have to be that way. It has been as
conservative as possible, however concerned about the future and how to gain more revenue
for projects that need to be completed.

Council Meeting Minutes
11.6.23
Alderman Koch would like there to be no raising of taxes at this time , maybe give it a year to
see how things go and find out what will be happening with the federal government as he
cannot see raising any taxes at this time, maybe put some projects on hold for now.
Alderman Glab stated that if it is decided that property taxes do rise, then residents need to
see the improvements in neighborhoods and their ways of life. Need to be responsible so that
improvements are being made. It is important to be transparent by showing the projects being
completed around town.
Alderman Strach following the opinions of those before him, as much as the fact of increasing
is not in favor we need to move forward with increasing taxes. There is a lot of aging
infrastructure coming up and without preparation. The right thing to do is to move it forward
so that we are not tapping into the reserves.
Alderwoman Bassi would like to hold it flat for one more year and then reevaluate it after that.
Alderman McClatchey stated that it is bad timing right now and would like to wait one more
year before raising the taxes.
Alderman Santi wanted to know the percentage it was bumped to 3% as confirmed by
Director Lynch. Talked about the pie chart and the percentage that the city utilizes. This year
or next year there should be an increase in the levy in the next 18 months or so to help with
maintenance/replacements.
Administrator Morefield as for Director Lynch to explain the levy to the audience.
Mayor Jett asked for a raise of hands after a long discussion regarding the above as to what
direction to take.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: David W. McArdle
DATE: November 15, 2023
RE: PFAS/PFOA Class Action Lawsuit
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City attorney and Sher Edling, LLP
to opt the City out of the pending class actions relating to PFOS; PFOA and PFAS
pollutants.
Since the early 1950s, certain chemicals, generally categorized as PFAS and PFOS and referred to
in recent news articles as “Forever Chemicals,” have been used in manufacturing processes to
produce firefighting foam, Teflon coatings, cardboard packaging, w aterproof clothing, and several
other products. These products have been discovered to be cancer-causing compounds and can
enter our bodies through our drinking water and food supplies. Currently, conventional water and
wastewater treatment processes cannot remove these products.
Earlier the City Council authorized the City Attorney to retain Sher Edling to investigate options
pertaining to the proposed class action settlements with Dupont and 3M, the principal
manufacturers of these items, in which the City of McHenry would be considered a party, as we
operate water and wastewater facilities.
After completion of their investigation, Sher Edling is recommending the City opt out of the
proposed settlements. By opting out of the proposed settlement, the city is reserving its rights to
take future legal action relating to wastewater treatment related issues.
