PUBLIC HEARING SUPPLEMENT
DATE: December 18, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: Public Hearing and Consideration of the 2023 Tax Levy Ordinance
ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A – Proposed Real Estate Tax Levy by Fund
2023 Property Tax Levy Ordinance
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agenda item is to conduct the 2023 Property Tax Levy Public Hearing and to
provide the City Council with information needed for the adoption of the 20 23 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.
3
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. Chang e 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.
If Council concurs, the following is recommended: 1) conducting a public hearing regarding the
proposed 2023 Property Tax Levy in an amount of $3,074,352 and, upon closing the public
hearing; 2) consideration of the 2023 Property Tax Levy Ordinance in an amount not to exceed
$3,074,352.

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: December 18, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: Abatement of Real Estate Taxes for Various Bond Issues
ATT: Abatement of Real Estate Taxes Ordinances
______________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY:
The City of McHenry has issued a variety of bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the
municipality. This requires that property taxes be levied by the County Clerk. The City’s
intentions are to abate these taxes through the County Clerk annually t hrough the attached
abatement ordinances.
BACKGROUND:
Over the years, the City of McHenry has issued a variety of bonds that pledge various funding
sources for repayment backed by the full faith and credit of municipality. In pledging the full faith
and credit of the municipality, the bond ordinances require the County Clerk to levy property
taxes for the debt service required on the bonds unless an abatement of the property tax by the
local municipality is approved and filed with the County Clerk.
ANALYSIS:
In structuring the bonds in this manner, it was the intent of the City to annually abate the taxes
provided the primary source of repayment is sufficient to cover the debt service
requirement. Historically, the primary source of repayment has been sufficient to cover the debt
service and the property tax has been abated. Projections show that revenue sources in the
coming year will continue to provide adequate coverage for debt service requirements allowing
the abatement of the property tax.
Consequently, in order for the County Clerk to abate or reduce the property taxes levied, the City
Council will need to approve the attached ordinances authorizing the abatements as follows:
17
1. GO Bonds (Refunding) Series 2020A $ 382,200.00
2. GO Bonds (Alternate) Series 2012 $ 211,062.50
3. GO Bonds (Refunding) Series 2013 $ 37,887.50
6. GO Bonds (Refunding) Series 2015 $ 584,026.26
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinances for the abatement as listed.

B. Annexation of Land
Motion to pass an Ordinance annexing a 2.68-acre Tract of Land located on the
southeast corner of Lake Shore Drive and McCullom Lake Roa d (Community
Development Director Polerecky)
Director Polerecky stated that in 1997 there was a land swap that had never been annexed,
there were 2 parcels in front of the horse barn and it needed to go to Planning and Zoning,
hence why this is on the agenda tonight.
Alderman Glab wanted to table this until the discussion of the development of this land.
Alderman Strach expressed that this should not be delayed because the use of the property
will not change.
Alderwoman Bassi had asked Director Hobson about the leasing agreement, it was stated that
it was a 5-year lease, there were 4 years left to go and there were no extensions written into
the lease. Director Hobson hopes that the tenant
Bridgett and her team will renew since they are doing such a fantastic job. There would have
to be a new lease after the 4 years is up.
Public comment: Bridget who leases the property from R Double J Ranch expressed her
concerns about resolving this tonight. Bridgett who is the current tenant they have no address,
so if she needs to call the police , etc. it can be hard for them to locate her. Derby Lane is not a
dedicated address per Director Polerecky , however, after the annexation, there will be an
internal memo sent to change the address to 4401 McCullom Lake Road.

including a master plan. The desire to have these facilities has not gone away, and he wanted
to have this discussion so that a plan could be added by January 2 nd for the 2024 ballot.
Alderman Glab wanted to know the extent of the bonds for the rec center it was confirmed 13
years ago by Director Hobson. Feels the average resident would want to go forward with this
and would not be in favor of property taxes going towards this but a referendum would be in
favor of.
Alderman Santi asked about the number of surveys that have been done regarding the rec
center so far there are two, per Director Hobson. Number one walking path, indoor pool, and
gymnasium choices in the surveys. Alderman Santi would like the ball to be in the resident's
court maybe with a choice for them through the referendum.
Alderman McClatchey $30 million dollars was being asked at the last referendum, per Director
Hobson, who feels that the same plan may need to be increased by around 20%. Would like
to see it on the ballot.

Alderwoman Miller stated that she is also in favor of having it on the ballot because of the lack
of public facilities. This is a good opportunity to serve the public.

the tax bill per Director Lynch.
Alderman Koch, let the residents decide.
Alderman Strach, the same statement that he would like the residents to decide by adding it to
the ballot.
Alderwoman Bassi had asked for the total years for the project, May 2026 would be the
completion date per Director Hobson.
B. Hickory Creek Barn
Alderman Glab stated that he had gotten an email regarding the fact that this farm has been in
the city for close to 30 years. Stated that there are a ton of opportunities and we should have
knowledge on a day-to-day basis and how as a city the benefits of the barn are utilized for the
residents. Would like the city to be the leader for the program, and talked about how the
property is deplorable, has old fencing, etc. it detracts from the pleasantness of visiting the
barn.
Director Hobson stated that there is a stable in Woodstock that we used to partner with but
there is an advertisement with both barns now, McHenry as well. Stated that Bridgett and her
team have helped get things moving forward and there have been five public events there,
helping to move in the right direction. The private investment inside on the work being done.
He looks at this as a partnership and to see what has been done in one year and believes that
the direction is moving forward where it needs to be.
Alderman Santi stated that we have a partnership with Bridgett and that is the step forward,
and if she feels the need to come up to us she should. She needs help with funding and grants
and would love to have a partnership to help find ways to help them with the barn.
This conversation went on for some time.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM:
RE:

Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
Recreation Center Expansion Referendum
Proposed Resolution on Submission of Question of Public
Policy Preliminary Facility Expansion Layout
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
At the December 4th City Council meeting, Council entertained a discussion regarding the
expansion of the Recreation Center and the utilization of a property tax referendum to fund the
expansion. At that time staff was in the process of finalizing the updated costs of the facility and
the cost of the amended amount that would appear on the ballot on March 19, 2024.
The Authorizing Resolution with the proposed verbiage of the question has been attached for
review and adoption by the city council.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past 5 years, the city has performed a great deal of due diligence gathering information
on the potential expansion of the recreation center. In 2017 the community needs assessment
was administered and results spoke to the desired expansion of facility and the willingness to pay
for that expansion. The next step was to ensure the viability of the project and each of the
proposed elements through a pro-forma, which was completed in 2018. Again, the data came
back in a positive light exhibiting the profitability of the project as a whole.
All of this information led to the point of formally asking the community to decide on the
expansion and the future of the recreation center on the November 6, 2018 General Election
ballot. The measure was defeated at that time in large part due to a $44 Million school
referendum that was presented, and accepted, at the same time. The measure did garner over
4,000 votes in support, however only 44% of the vote at that time.
65
Since that time the calls for expanded recreational facilities and opportunities have not quelled
and are often raised as the most desired additions to the city in informal online polls. Parks
athletic programs are completely reliant upon school gym space and the use of the pool at the
high school is also limited as programs compete for time with high school use. In either case,
those facilities are not open and available to the community for public use.
City attorneys and bond counsel were consulted regarding an updated ballot question. There
were two important parts to the question, the proposed project and the total amount of the
project. Other important elements of a question include what the proposed increase in the tax
rate would be and the final tax rate amount would be. In order to create a question that was as
clear as possible, staff calculated the additional cost with new tax rate per $1,000 fair cash value
of a resident’s home and included this verbiage at the end of the question. The final proposed
question is:
Shall the City of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois, build an addition to the
McHenry Recreation Center that will include an indoor pool, a gymnasium and an
outdoor family aquatic park and issue its bonds to the amount of $45,000,000 for
the purpose of paying the costs thereof, which would result in an estimated total
City tax rate of $.941667 per $100 of equalized assessed valuation? The net
increase to the City of McHenry portion for the property tax bill would amount to
$1.29 per $1,000 fair cash value of the home annually for 20 years.
ANALYSIS:
In five years, construction costs and inflation has driven cost up the costs of a proposed $30
Million facility by 66% to an estimated total coast of $45 Million. During this same time period
however, the city Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) also grew. This in turn means that the city tax
rate has actually reduced over the years.
Staff has explored other funding options, yet the only real viable one lets the community truly
decide whether or not facilities are expanded or not, in the form of a property tax referendum.
It is estimated that the $45 million dollar referendum would amount to an additional $353/year
for the median3-bedroom home valued at $275,000; or more simply $1.29/$1,000 fair cash value
of the home.
The formulation of the question, while a bit lengthy, tries to maintain as much transparency as
possible while relaying all the important parts of the proposed changes.
The City has consulted with bond counsel to confirm compliance with relevant laws including the
Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, financing and election laws. The next general election is
March 19, 2024, so the certified ordinance containing the question should be approved and
delivered to the County Clerk’s Office no later than January 2, 2024.
66
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made for the execution of
an Authorizing Resolution to place a binding referendum question of public policy on the
ballot for the March 19, 2024 General Election and that this ordinance is submitted to the
McHenry County Clerk no later than January 2, 2024.
