The purpose of this letter of budget transmittal is to provide a broad overview of the budget information contained in the detailed budget document that follows. As always, it is the goal of the City Administration to provide the City Council and general public with a budget document that is transparent and provides an accounting for all of the funds that the City receives and expends. BACKGROUND: The City’s annual fiscal year budget covers the period beginning May 1st and ending April 30th. The budget document itself, upon completion, contains information relative to estimated revenues and planned operational and capital expenditures for 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 Community Investment Plan. 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 47 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, keeping in mind the overall services that the municipality must provide to residents. As always, it is the goal of City Administration to present City Council with a balanced operating budget. This goal is achieved in the attached budget information. The discussion that follows 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. ANALYSIS – GENERAL FUND: The General Fund represents the core revenue and expense fund for municipal functions. General Fund Revenues are comprised of Intergovernmental sources such as Property Tax, State Sales Tax, Local Sales Tax, State Income Tax, State Replacement Tax, State Pull Tabs, Intertrack Wagering, State Communications Tax, and State Grants; Local Sources such as Franchise Fees, Licenses and Permits, Fines and Forfeitures, Charges for Services, and Interest Income; and Miscellaneous sources such as Donations and Reimbursements for Services. General Fund Expenses 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), Parks and Recreation (100.41), and Parks Maintenance (100.45). Please reference the attached spreadsheet titled “General Fund – Revenues, Expenditures and Fund Balance Summary” for the following discussion. General Fund Revenue, Expenditure and Fund Balance Summary In summary, FY24/25 proposed General Fund Revenues and Expenditures reflect total revenues of $31,140,129 (an increase of $1,364,875 or 4.58% from the FY23/24 Budget amount – Row 27, Column W), and total operating expenditures of $30,289,012 (an increase of $996,073 or 3.40%, less capital, from the FY23/24 Budget amount – Row 38, Column W). This reflects a net difference (revenues over expenditures) of $851,117. Importantly, this means that the proposed General Fund Operating Budget, as presented, is BALANCED. While COVID-19 has made many revenues volatile over the last few years, 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 increases in revenues relate to projections for State Income Taxes (an increase of $423,306 or 10.04% - Row 12, Column W), Intertrack 58 Wagering Taxes (an increase of $13,000 or 52% - Row 17, Column W), Video Gaming Revenue (an increase of $25,000 or 2.78% - Row 18, Column W), Charges for Services (an increase of $171,000 or 14.09% - Row 22, Column W), Reimbursements (an increase of $609,344 or 19.79% - Row 23, Column W), and Interest Income (an increase of $250,000 or 71.43% - Row 24, Column W). These increases are partially offset by decreases to Property Taxes (a decrease of $40,379 or 0.8% - Row 9, Column W), State Sales Taxes (a decrease of $104,490 or 1.10% - Row 10, Column W), and Franchise Fees (a decrease of $40,000 or 10.53% - Row 19, Column W). Regarding General Fund Expenditures, Personnel costs are proposed to increase by $324,310, or 1.72% (Row 30, Column W) due to Union Contract increases, CPI-U increases for non-bargaining unit employees, the addition of a part-time FOIA Officer in the police department and higher insurance costs. It should be noted that a portion of the Police Dispatch Center costs and the School Resource Officers that are in the middle and high schools are offset by General Fund Revenue increases in the form of reimbursements (reflected in Row 23, Column W) from dispatch partner agencies, customers, and the school districts. Most notably, FY24/25 General Fund Expenditures, as proposed, reflect increased Contractual costs of $400,952 or 10.55% (Row 31, Column W), and Transfers reflect an increase of $248,212 or 5.97% (Row 35, Column W). Reasons for these increases are discussed in detail beginning on page 10 of this memorandum. Finally, the FY24/25 General Fund Expenditures, as identified in this attachment, do not include any transfers for Capital Improvement or Capital Equipment at this time. As discussed in detail on pages 12 and 13 of this memo, the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy defines the process for transferring excess funds for capital needs. In FY22/23 and FY23/24, capital projects were budgeted in the General Fund using Fund balance, which canceled the Fund Balance transfer that would have occurred during the audit process. There are a few carryover projects from FY23/24 that are budgeted to be completed in FY24/25, as well as $100,000 in vehicle replacement purchases included in the General Fund Budget. At this time, estimated Fund Balance totals for FY23/24 show that there will be Fund Balance available to transfer to the Capital Accounts for projects, in accordance with the City’s policy. However, with the creation of the ComEd and Nicor Utility Taxes in FY2023/24, capital projects will be primarily budgeted using Utility Tax funds going forward. This may necessitate updates to the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy; this topic will be brought forward for City Council consideration after the FY23/24 audit has concluded. Carrying the General Fund Revenue and Expenditure estimates through the end of the fiscal year (April 30, 2024), it is projected that the total General Fund Balance will be $19,223,163 at the end of FY23/24 (Column V, Row 44). As defined in the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy, the estimated required 120-day General Fund Balance Reserve would be $10,096,337, so this balance is projected to be approximately $9,126,826 higher than the requirement. However, a significant amount of this fund balance is reserved for specific projects. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) COVID funds ($3,682,586) are reserved for the Route 31 widening capital project projected to commence in FY25/26; Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP, or 911)Grant funds ($1,240,442) are reserved specifically for dispatch expenses and areapproved for spending by the NERCOM board; and Police Seizure Funds ($221,256) can only 69 be allotted to specific Police eligible expenses. The remaining FY23/24 General Fund Balance that could be utilized for capital projects is $4,203,798 (Column V, Row 49); as you will see, a portion of this amount is budgeted for capital projects to be completed in FY24/25. REVENUES: General Fund Revenues – FY23/24 Budgeted, FY23/24 Estimated, FY24/25 Proposed 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. Some revenues can be clearly identified and estimated based on historical performance or other factors. For example, Property Tax revenue is based on the adoption of the annual property tax levy. However, the economic recession of 2007/2008 and the pandemic have served to remind local governments that economic-based revenues, such as Sales Taxes and State Income Taxes, are not guaranteed and are closely tied to the economy and disposable income. In estimating General Fund Revenues for the purpose of budget development, 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 threats. Utilizing this philosophy, 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. FY23/24 Budgeted Revenues (Column U) In FY23/24, total budgeted General Fund Revenues were $29,775,254 (Column U, Row 27). Of this, $5,027,941 (16.9%) was from Property Taxes, $9,460,894 (31.8%) was from the City’s 1% share of the State Sales Tax, $3,866,480 (13.0%) was from the .75% Local Sales Tax, and $4,216,779 (14.2%) came from the City’s share of the State Income Tax. Revenues derived from these four (4) sources were budgeted at $22,572,094 or 75.8% of total General Fund Revenues. Of the remaining $7,203,160 (24.2%) in budgeted General Fund Revenues, $1,213,289 (4.1%) were from Charges for Services, $3,078,871 (10.3%) from Reimbursement for Services, $363,000 (1.2%) from Fines and Forfeitures, $295,000 (1.0%) from Licenses and Permits, $380,000 (1.3%) from Franchise Fees, $900,000 (3.0%) from Video Gaming, $200,000 from Telecommunications Tax (0.7%), $350,000 (1.2%) from Interest Income, and the remaining $423,000 (1.4%) came from all other sources combined. FY23/24 Estimated Revenues (Column V) The following estimated revenues are based on 10 months of actual revenues and projected through the remainder of the fiscal year (April 30, 2024). Unfortunately, in some cases this estimation is more difficult than simply annualizing by dividing the 10-month actual by 10 and multiplying by 12, due to the timing of when specific revenues are received. Further, 710 FY23/24 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 2024, 4-5 months into the new budget year. At this time, estimated General Fund Revenues are projected to be $31,192,842 (Column V, Row 27) or $1,417,588 (4.8%) higher than FY23/24 Budgeted revenues of $29,775,254. This reflects an estimated decrease of $640,759, or 2.0%, from FY22/23 Actual revenues of $31,833,601. Notably, FY23/24 Estimated Revenues, when compared to FY22/23 Actual revenues and FY23/24 Budgeted revenues, highlight the following: • (Row 10) State Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $37,185 (0.4%) lower than budgeted and $100,000 (1.1%) lower than the FY22/23 Actual amount. • (Row 11) Local Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $73,735 (1.9%) lower than budgeted and $30,000 (0.8%) lower than received in FY22/23. • (Row 10 + Row 11) Combined, total Sales Tax revenue is estimated to be $110,920 (0.8%) lower than budgeted and $130,000 (1.0%) lower than the FY22/23 Actual. State Sales Tax revenues have shown significant signs of an economic recovery since the beginning of COVID-19, but they have recently begun to this year are showing signs of level off. Estimates and proposed amounts for FY24/25 are extremely conservative, as City Administration watches the actual receipts closely. As a reminder, Local Sales Tax revenues do not include the sale of licensed or titled items such as cars, boats or motorcycles. As such, while the economic recovery and resulting increase in the sale of licensed vehicles has had a positive impact on the City’s portion of the State Sales Tax, it has not similarly impacted Local Sales Tax revenues. • (Row 12) State Income Tax receipts are estimated to be $226,144 (5.4%) higher than budgeted and $58,494 (1.3%) higher than FY22/23. • (Row 13) State Replacement Tax receipts are estimated to be $53,333 (27.7%) lower than budgeted and $99,766 (40.5%) lower than FY22/23. • (Row 15) Self Storage Tax receipts are estimated to be $9,433 (7.9%) higher than budgeted and $85,376 (193.8%) higher than FY22/23. These taxes were not budgeted in FY22/23, as the tax was passed by City Council in June of 2022 and went to effect on 1/1/2023. • (Row 18) Video Gaming revenues are estimated to be $926,806, which is $26,806 (3.0%) higher than budgeted and $15,603 (1.7%) lower than FY22/23. 811 • (Row 19) Franchise Fees revenues are estimated to be $34,027 (9.0%) lower than budgeted and $33,105 (8.7%) lower than FY22/23. • (Row 22) Charges for Services revenues are estimated to be $271,867 (22.4%) higher than budgeted and $98,048 (7.1%) higher than FY22/23. • (Row 23) Reimbursements for services revenues are estimated to be $425,262 (13.8%) higher than budgeted and $850,720 (32.1%) higher than FY22/23. The large increase over FY23/24 budget is due to Reimbursements for the two school resource officers in the middle schools that were not budgeted. • (Row 24) Interest Income revenues are estimated to be $493,766 (141%) higher than budgeted and $404,144 (91.9%) higher than FY22/23 due to increased interest rates, as well as fund reserves held for Rt. 31 construction and other purposes. • (Row 26) Miscellaneous Income revenues are estimated at $4,778 (6.2%) higher than budgeted and $2,043,202 (96.2%) lower than FY22/23. The large decrease over the FY22/23 actual is due to ARPA COVID funds received in FY22/23. In summary, FY23/24 Estimated Revenues are projected at $1,417,588 (4.8%) higher than budgeted primarily due to State Income Tax, Video Gaming receipts, Fines and Forfeitures, Charges for Services, Interest Income, and Reimbursements. When compared to FY22/23 Actual Revenues, total General Fund Revenues decreased $640,759 (2.0%). This is primarily due to State and Local Tax receipts, State Replacement Tax, and Miscellaneous Income. FY24/25 Proposed Revenues (Column W) FY24/25 Proposed General Fund Revenues represent a net increase of $1,364,875 (4.6%) from FY23/24 Budgeted revenues and a decrease of $693,472 (2.2%) from FY22/23 Actual revenues. Highlights of changes to General Fund Revenues proposed for FY24/25 include: • (Row 9) At the direction of City Council, the City’s property tax levy was not increased for 2024. This, combined with declining Road and Bridge Taxes and property tax collection rates around 99%, resulted in an estimated Property Tax revenue decrease of $40,379 (0.8%) versus the FY23/24 Budget. • (Row 10) State Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $9,356,404, which is $104,490 (1.1%) lower than FY23/24 Budget. The City has seen the leveling out of Sales Taxes during FY23/24, so FY24/25 revenue was conservatively decreased. o The Governor has proposed permanently eliminating the state-wide 1% Grocery Tax and has not proposed covering the losses from other sources for local governments. If this occurs, the City’s Sales Tax revenue would decrease by approximately an additional $900,000. This would be a significant reduction to the City’s overall budget. As of March 1, 2024, the Illinois 912 Municipal League is actively lobbying against this proposal on behalf of Illinois municipalities. • (Row 11) Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $3,874,618, an increase of $8,138 (.2%) from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 10 + Row 11) Combined State and Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $13,231,022, a decrease of $96,352 (0.7%) from the FY23/24 Budget amount. • (Row 12) State Income Tax revenues are proposed at $4,640,085, an increase of $423,306 (10.04%) from FY23/24. Regarding State Income Tax revenues, please note the following: o There are multiple agencies working to restore the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF), which includes Income Tax distribution, to its full 10 percent (which was cut to 6% in 2011, changed a few times since then and currently sits at just over 6%). Over the years, the Governor has proposed cutting an additional 10% from the LGDF. Restoring or cutting these funds could represent a large increase or decrease in revenues. Staff will continue to watch these developments closely in case expense adjustments need to be made to offset any decrease in revenue. • (Row 14) State Telecommunication Tax revenues are proposed at $190,000, which is $10,000 (5.0%) less than the amount budgeted in FY23/24, as revenues have continued to decline over the last few years. • (Row 15) Self Storage Tax receipts are expected to be $125,000 in FY24/25, an increase of $5,000 (4.2%) from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 18) Video Gaming revenues are proposed at $925,000, a $25,000 (2.78%) increase from the FY23/24 Budget amount. • (Row 19) Franchise Fees revenues are proposed to decrease by $40,000, or 10.53% from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 20) Licenses and Permits revenues are proposed to decrease by $6,000, or 2.03% from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 22) Charges for Services revenues are proposed to increase by $171,000, or 14.09% from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 23) Reimbursements are proposed to increase $609,344 or 19.79%. This category includes the Police Dispatch Center revenues derived from partner and 1013 customer agencies served through this facility, police school resource officer reimbursements, police impound fees, and other miscellaneous reimbursements. • (Row 24) Interest Income is proposed to increase $250,000 (71.43%) due to increasing interest rates. • (Row 26) Miscellaneous Income is proposed to increase $116,456 or 151.24%, primarily due to anticipated Police Department Grant funds for body cameras. In summary, FY24/25 Proposed Revenues are $1,364,875 (4.6%) higher than budgeted in FY23/24 and $52,713 (0.2%) lower than FY23/24 Estimated revenues. The primary reasons for the proposed increase include an increase in Local Sales Tax ($8,138), an increase to the Income Tax ($423,306), an increase to the Self Storage Tax ($5,000), an increase in Video Gaming revenues ($25,000), an increase in Fines and Forfeitures revenues ($15,000), an increase to Charges for Services revenues ($171,000), an increase to Reimbursement revenues ($609,344), an increase to Interest Income ($250,000), and an increase to Miscellaneous revenues ($116,456). These increases are partially offset by decreases to Property Tax revenue ($40,379), Sales Tax ($104,490), State Replacement Tax revenue ($70,000), State Telecommunication Tax revenue ($10,000), Franchise Fees revenues ($40,000), and Licenses and Permit revenues ($6,000). EXPENDITURES: General Fund Expenditures – FY23/24 Budgeted, FY23/24 Estimated, FY24/25 Proposed 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), Parks and Recreation (100.41), and Parks Maintenance (100.45). In addition, 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. FY23/24 Budgeted Expenditures (Column U) In FY23/24, total budgeted expenditures (capital and operating) were $31,881,339. Budgeted capital expenditures were $2,588,400, and budgeted operating expenditures were $29,292,939. While this amount reflected an increase of $2,858,417 (10.8%) from the FY22/23 Actual expenditures (Column T, Row 38), this difference was primarily due to contractual and personnel expenses. Three additional police officers, two lead telecommunicators, and a Communications Specialist were added to the Police, Dispatch, 1114 and Administration departments, respectively. These three positions added almost $700,000 to the budget. The additional $1.1 million was due to contract step and cost of living adjustments for bargaining unit employees and a 5% increase to non-bargaining unit employees as well as insurance increases. Contractual expenses increased just over $550,000 due to increased legal fees, contractual street resurfacing expenses, Comprehensive Plan expenses, and Façade grant expenses. FY23/24 Estimated Expenditures (Column V) In general, City Administration – including department directors, superintendents, and supervisors – closely monitors expenditures throughout the year to ensure that operating budgets stay within the approved amounts. The fiscal diligence of all of these individuals most often results in expenditures being less than the amount budgeted. Even with surging prices due to recent inflationary pressures, expenditures have been well managed and continue to fall within the budget. For FY23/24, operating expenditures are estimated at $27,595,037, or $1,697,902 (5.8%) less than the budgeted amount of $29,292,939. Highlights of changes to FY23/24 Estimated Expenditures include: • (Row 30) Reduced Personnel costs of $1,012,894 (5.4%) resulting from budgeted positions unfilled during the year and lower benefit costs. • (Row 31) Contractual costs are estimated at $485,064 (12.8%) lower than the original budget, due to projects that are started (including the Comprehensive Plan and Streets Engineering) but not yet completed, and therefore will need to be carried over to FY24/25. • (Row 32) Supply costs are estimated at $125,972 (10.9%) less than budget. • (Row 33) Other estimated expenditures are estimated at $73,972 (5.6%) less than the original budget. • (Row 34) Capital Outlay expenditures are $495,315 less than the original budget; however, funds have been carried over to complete a number of these projects in FY24/25. Note: City Administration anticipates changes to FY23/24 Estimated expenditures due to increases or decreases in revenues and expenses through the end of the fiscal year. FY24/25 Proposed Expenditures (Column W) FY24/25 proposed operating expenditures represent an increase of $996,073 (3.4%) from the FY23/24 Operating Budget amount of $29,292,939. Highlights of changes to General Fund Expenditures proposed for FY24/25 include: 1215 • (Row 30) Personnel costs are proposed to increase $324,310 (1.72%) over the amount budgeted in FY23/24. Personnel costs include salaries, overtime, health/dental/life/vision insurance, FICA, Police Pension and IMRF retirement, and uniforms. Significant year-over-year changes include: 1. Personnel costs related to salaries account for a $341,077 increase from FY23/24 to FY24/25 due to contract steps and cost of living adjustments. Employees covered by collective bargaining units IUOE Local 150 (Public Works, Parks employees), FOP Unit 1 (Police Patrol), and FOP Unit 2 (Dispatch) receive contract steps and cost of living adjustments (IUOE Local 150 – 2.25%, FOP Unit 1 – 3.5% and FOP Unit 2 – 2.5%). Wage increases are included for Police Sergeants and other non-bargaining employees based on the previous year’s Consumer Price Index for All Urban Areas (CPI-U), which was 3.34% in 2023. City Administration has used the CPI-U as the marker for non-bargaining unit employee increases since FY15/16. In FY24/25, the increases were set at 3.5%, just above the CPI-U. There is no additional merit component proposed for FY24/25. 2. Police Pension costs are proposed at $2,373,955 (of which $1,663,589 is a transfer to the Debt Service Fund to cover the Pension Obligation Bond). This equates to an increase of $37,427 (1.6%). Police Pension costs are determined by an actuary retained by the Police Pension Board and are based on several factors, including wages, investment rate, and age of the workforce. The City issued the Pension Obligation Bond in 2020 to set the City up to be 100% funded by the required deadline of 2040. 3. A second part-time Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Officer position has been added to the Police Department budget to process the additional FOIA requests that are anticipated due to the addition of body cameras; this position is budgeted at $21,920. 4. NERCOM has voted to again use PSAP funds to supplement the budget. In FY22/23, $300,000 in PSAP funds was used to cover expenses; this was increased to $500,000 in FY23/24. For FY24/25, $700,000 in PSAP revenues are budgeted to offset dispatch center expenses. Note that the NERCOM board for the dispatch center approved adding two additional Lead Telecommunicator positions to the FY23/24 budget; however, these positions were not filled until December 2023, resulting in salary and benefit savings. 5. Total Benefit costs are proposed to decrease $88,447 (9.4%) due to decreases to insurance elections, FICA, and IMRF costs. • (Row 31) Contractual costs are anticipated to increase by $400,952 (10.55%) from the amount budgeted in FY23/24 due to the following: 1316 1. The purchase of Body Worn and In-Squad Cameras for the Police Department will add $265,768 to the FY24/25 budget. The Department will apply for grant funding to cover a portion of this cost; in anticipation of being awarded this grant, $115,456 has been budgeted in Reimbursement Revenue. Note that there will be a recurring annual cost for data storage after the first year of the contract. 2. Streets Department expenses were increased by $74,200 (30.29%) to cover an updated road condition survey. 3. Parks Department expenses were increased by $81,914 (28.29%) due to increased special recreation association (NISRA) dues, fees, and additional parks trip expenses. 4. Additional funds were added to other line items due to expected increases in prices due to inflation. • (Row 32) Supplies expenditures are proposed to be increased by 0.61% ($7,100) due to increases in prices for all supplies. • (Row 33) Other expenditures are anticipated to increase by $15,499 (1.18%) due to additional funds budgeted for Special Events. • (Row 35) Transfers are anticipated to increase by $248,212 (5.97%) due to increased expenses in the Information Technology Fund. GENERAL FUND BALANCE: On February 1, 2016, City Council adopted a new Fund Balance and Reserve Policy that, in summary, establishes minimum levels for designated funds to ensure stability and meet future needs. This policy 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.” The policy 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 regard 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 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 1417 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 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. As identified, the parameters in this policy help to guide 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.” The FY23/24 Budget included a beginning General Fund balance of $17,718,443 (Column U, Row 6), based on FY22/23 audited financial information. Based on FY23/24 budgeted revenues, operating expenditures, and capital expenditures (which were funded with fund balance), it was anticipated that the ending fund balance would be $15,612,358 (Column U, Row 44), with an estimated ending unassigned 120-day fund balance of $9,739,783 (Column U, Row 45). With a total of $4,452,282 reserved for the Rt. 31 widening and other uses discussed on page 4 above, the anticipated balance to be transferred to the Capital Improvement Fund was projected to be $1,420,293 (Column U, Row 49). This figure was used to develop the FY24/25 Budget. As noted previously, the City recently implemented two Utility Taxes to address General Fund Capital needs. The ComEd Utility Tax was implemented for existing capital asset maintenance and replacement, and the Nicor Utility Tax was implemented for new capital assets. The City’s existing Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment Funds will be phased out once projects are completed within those funds; they will be replaced with the Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Fund (to be funded by the ComEd Utility Tax) and the Capital Asset New Project Fund (to be funded by the Nicor Utility Tax). As referenced above, 1518 due to these changes, the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy will likely need to be updated to provide direction for future years where revenues may be greater than expenses. ANALYSIS – GENERAL FUND OPERATING DEPARTMENTS: Please reference the attached operating department spreadsheets for the following discussion. General Fund Operating Departments include personnel, contractual, supplies and other operating expenses for the following departments - 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), Parks and Recreation (100.41), and Parks Maintenance (100.45). These expenditures have already been summarized, in total, as part of the previous discussion of General Fund Revenues and Expenditures. The following narrative will focus on identifying the major points of each operating department. Note, the Budget Variance $ (Column W) and Budget Variance % (Column X) are based on a budget-to-budget comparison from the FY24/25 Budgeted amount to the FY23/24 Budgeted amount. General Administration (100.01) Overall, the Administration operating budget is proposed to decrease by $80,700 or 5.71% in FY24/25 (Column V, Row 59). Salary/Benefit costs are identified to decrease by a net of $62,562 or 7.76%, primarily due to the removal of expenses budgeted for a retirement payout. Contractual expenditures (Row 21), which includes property tax expenses, insurance administrative expenses, shredding, and other miscellaneous administrative costs, are expected to remain the same in FY24/25. Corporate Legal Fees (Row 22) include the City Attorney, Traffic Attorney and Collective Bargaining representation and are identified to decrease $30,000 in FY24/25. Other expenditures – which includes Administrative Expenses and internal transfers for Risk Management and Information Technology – is proposed to increase by $10,362 (Column V, Row 45). Elected Officials (100.02) The Elected Officials budget is proposed for a $1,361 increase, or 2.11%, due to an increase to internal transfers for Information Technology. (Column V, Row 37). Community Development (100.03) The Community Development budget is proposed increase $134,815, or 9.03% (Column V, Row 42). 1619 Salary/Benefit costs are budgeted to increase by $114,764 (12.42%). This includes $81,488 in non-union salary increases (which incorporates absorbing the transfer of an existing Customer Support Specialist position from Finance) and $33,276 in benefit cost increases. Contractual Services are identified to increase by $6,300 (1.53%). Supplies will remain the same, and the internal transfer for Risk Management and Information Technology will increase by $13,751 (12.38%). Finance (100.04) Salary/Benefit costs are anticipated to decrease by $59,840 (10.71%) due to moving an existing Customer Support Specialist position to the Community Development Department. Contractual Expenses are expected to increase $5,000 (7.04%) due to higher credit card fees and postage increases. Development Expenses are expected to be remain the same, as no new incentives were added in FY23/24. Transfers for Debt Service, Civil Defense Fund, Information Technology, and Audit Funds are budgeted to increase by $29,910 (1.76%). Human Resources (100.05) Salaries/Benefit costs are budgeted to increase by $24,571 (8.82%), which is primarily due to salary and insurance increases. Contractual Services are budgeted to decrease by $16,500 (26.48%) due primarily to the removal of the FY23/24 expense for the City Administrator recruitment, while Other Expenses increase by $4,154 (18.97%) due to an increased Information Technology Fund transfer. Economic Development (100.06) Salary/Benefit costs are budgeted to increase by $7,516 (2.55%) due to salary and insurance increases. Contractual Services increase $6,050 (3.04%) due to increased Marketing expenses. Purchase of Services – Information Technology expenses increase by $2,006 (18.98%). Police (100.22) The Police budget is proposed at an overall increase of $578,122, or 4.72% from FY23/24. Salary costs (Column W, Rows 7 through 11) are identified to increase by $178,559 due to the addition of a second part-time FOIA officer, sworn salary increases, and non-sworn salary increases. These increases are offset by benefit decreases of $16,030 which are attributable to lower insurance costs due to insurance election changes. . 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. Contractual Services are budgeted to increase by $252,018 (68.22%) due to the purchase of body-worn and in-car cameras, increased telephone costs and training/travel. Supplies decrease by $16,950 (6.89%) due to lower gasoline usage/costs. The transfer to Information Technology increases by $127,409 (20.51%) due to higher expenses within the Information Technology Fund. Capital Expenses within the Police Department Budget include a speed sign, firearms simulator, furniture, handheld radar units, and miscellaneous police equipment. The FY24/25 capital budget also includes a project to install a security fence for 1720 a new fueling station at the Public Works garage; seizure funds will be used to pay for this $50,000 expense. Dispatch Center (100.23) FY24/25 represents the eighth full year of operation for the consolidated dispatch center, NERCOM, which serves 16 area agencies. The proposed FY24/25 budget has been presented and approved by the partners of the dispatch center. The total amount proposed for the dispatch center in FY24/25 is $3,164,925. Salaries/Benefit Costs show a net decrease of $10,464 (0.35%) due to decreased benefit costs. As referenced above, PSAP Grant Funds have been used for the past few years to offset NERCOM’s costs. For FY22/23, the partners voted to use $300,000 in PSAP Grant funds; for FY23/24, this was increased to $500,000 in PSAP Grant funds (which are currently reflected in the General Fund Balance due to timing). The partners voted to increase PSAP grant funds to $700,000 to support the dispatch center for FY24/25. This grant funding has helped to lower the overall cost to the City and the other partners of the dispatch center, and the remaining funds can be used when updates are needed to the Center. As a reminder, the total dispatch center budget is also offset by more than $1.7 million in reimbursements as a result of the partnerships with the City of Woodstock, City of Harvard and McHenry Township Fire Protection District, and through charges for dispatch services paid by customers of the dispatch center. These are reflected as General Fund Revenues and included in Row 23 of the General Fund – Revenues, Expenditures and Fund Balance Summary sheet. Public Works Administration (100.30) The overall Public Works Administration budget is proposed to decrease by $19,840 (3.68%) due to decreases to salaries and insurance costs, offset slightly by an increase to transfers for Information Technology. Public Works Streets (100.33) The FY24/25 Public Works Streets budget is proposed to increase by a total of $125,216 (3.02%) from FY23/24. Salaries/Benefits are proposed to increase by $91,423 (5.42%) due to salary and insurance increases. Additionally, Contractual (Row 21) costs have been increased by $74,200 (30.29%) due to an updated road condition survey expense. Materials and Supplies costs have been reduced by $40,000 (6.97%) due to an analysis of historical trends. Transfers for Information Technology increase $4,823 (18.61%). Parks and Recreation (100.41) As of FY23/24, the Parks Maintenance department was removed from the Parks and Recreation budget, but all programming expenses related to the Recreation Division not associated with the McHenry Recreation Center are still included. Revenues from recreation programming, which are reflected in General Fund Revenues, offset many of these costs. The overall FY24/25 Parks and Recreation budget is proposed to increase by a total of $254,811 (15.95%). Salary/Benefit costs are identified to increase by a total of $50,795 (7.2%), primarily due to increases to Seasonal Salaries for increased programming; Contractual Services are budgeted to increase by $81,914 (28.29%) due to increased NISRA dues, increased fees, and trip fees; Supplies to increase by $25,400 (23.94%); and Other costs 1821 to increase by $56,702 (11.41%) due to increases to Special Events expenses and the Information Technology and Recreation Center Transfers. A Capital Expense of $40,000 was added to cover three basketball court renovations. Parks Maintenance (100.45) The Parks maintenance budget is proposed to increase by $86,685, or 5.78% from FY23/24. Salary/Benefit costs are identified to increase $30,685 (2.67%) due to contract and benefit increases. Contractual expenses will increase by $20,000 (9.64%) due to increased repair expenses. Supplies expenses will increase by $36,000 (25.0%) due to Petersen Farmhouse improvements and increased maintenance costs. 1922 ANALYSIS – MCHENRY RECREATION CENTER: Please reference the attached spreadsheet titled “Recreation Center – Fund Summary” for the following discussion. The McHenry Recreation Center officially opened on February 29, 2016. With more than 800 memberships sold prior to the opening date, the McHenry Recreation Center exceeded all expectations through its third full year of operation. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the outlook of the Recreation Center Fund, and revenues remain unable to meet the demands of increasing expenses. Staff is working diligently to produce a plan to make sure operating costs are covered with operating revenues. At the close of FY20/21 and FY21/22, the McHenry Recreation Center was required to use $183,183 and $137,793 of the Recreation Center Fund Balance, respectively, to balance the operating expenses. This left an ending fund balance of $99,076 at the end of FY21/22. This Fund Balance was intended to be used to pay for future capital needs of the facility and/or any recreation center expansion efforts, but was instead used to cover operating needs. During FY22/23, a $100,000 General Fund transfer was made to the Recreation Center to help cover operating expenses and debt service as the Center continued to recover from COVID-19 closures and declining memberships. Recreation Center revenues are directly tied to memberships, which decreased dramatically in FY20/21, stabilized in FY21/22 and have been slowly increasing in FY22/23 and FY23/24. Therefore, estimated actual revenues for FY23/24 are above budgeted amounts by $42,358 (Columns T and U, Row 30). FY23/24 expenditures directly related to the operation of the facility (Salaries/Benefits, Contractual Services and Supplies) are estimated at $25,892 higher than the budgeted amounts due to unbudgeted and unforeseen health insurance expenses. Total Estimated Expenses are expected to be $47,505 over budget, primarily due to an unexpected capital expense ($21,740 to replace a failed water heater). In developing the FY24/25 proposed revenue and expenditures budget, staff continues to estimate revenues conservatively to account for the slow increases in membership. An additional $150,000 Transfer from the General Fund has been included in the budget to cover the Recreation Center Debt Service payment and ensure that the fund is not running in a deficit. Staff is closely watching memberships and will continue to actively market the Recreation Center. Additionally, monthly membership fees have recently been increased to help alleviate some of the increasing operating expenses (i.e., minimum wage increases and material and supplies increases due to inflation). Revenues are proposed at $854,500, which is $71,344 (9.11%) higher than the budgeted amount in FY23/24. Total Expenditures for FY24/25 are budgeted to be $849,826, or $60,570 (7.67%) higher than FY23/24. 2023 ANALYSIS – WATER AND SEWER FUND: The Water and Sewer Fund is an enterprise fund – that is, a business-type fund utilized to account for operations and activities that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise, and where the cost of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis is expected to be recovered primarily through user charges, including operating costs and capital improvement costs related to the maintenance of the water and sewer utility systems. These charges fund the operations of the Water, Wastewater and Utility Divisions in 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. Expenses for the Utility Division are split between the Water and Wastewater Divisions, with approximately 63.7% of operating expenses paid from the Water Division and the remaining 36.3% paid from the Wastewater Division. Water and sewer revenues are derived directly from water and sewer sales, base charges, connection fees, and service penalties. These revenues should be sufficient 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 ten years. The City commissioned a water and sewer rate study that was completed in FY13/14. The results of this analysis identified the need to adjust water and sewer rates at that time 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. As a reminder, Base Fee rate adjustments were completed during FY21/22 to directly address capital needs within the Water and Sewer Funds. As a result, water and sewer sales and service penalties will be designated for operating costs and will be analyzed with the budget process each year to ensure they meet all operating needs only. The narrative that follows provides a snapshot of the status of the Water and Sewer Fund and identifies operational and capital expenses. Please reference the attached worksheets titled “Water and Sewer Fund Summary (Fund 510, Department 31 Water, Water and Sewer Fund Summary (Fund 510, Department 32 Sewer, and Water and Sewer Fund Summary (Fund 510, Department 35 Utility)” for the following discussion. 2124 Water and Sewer Fund Revenues, Expenditures and Capital FY24/25 Water Division FY24/25 Water Division operating expenditures are proposed at $2,573,791, an increase of $87,973 (3.54%) from FY23/24. This increase is due primarily to increasing personnel costs and benefit increases, as well as increases to Contractual Services, Materials and Supplies and Transfers to Information Technology. A 5% water rate increase is recommended for FY24/25 and will be brought before the City Council for consideration in mid-2024. Water Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Projects It is estimated that the capital base charge of $8 will generate $550,000 in FY24/25 for capital projects. In FY24/25, this amount, along with reserves in the Water/Sewer Fund, will be used to fund the following water system capital projects identified in the Community Investment Plan - $800,000 for Water Tower 4 Repainting, $150,000 for Water Plant 2 Control Upgrade and MCC Relocation, $85,000 for Well 6 Pump Replacement & Aquifer Rehabilitation, and $250,000 for Kane Street Water Main Replacement. FY24/25 Wastewater Division FY24/25 Wastewater Division operating expenditures are projected at $3,661,956, an increase of $118,160 (3.33%) from FY23/24. This increase is due to increasing salary and benefit costs, as well as repair and maintenance and material and supplies costs. A 5% sewer rate increase is recommended for FY24/25 and will be brought before the City Council for consideration in mid-2024. Sewer Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Projects It is estimated that the existing $7 capital base charge will generate $520,000 in FY24/25 for capital projects. This amount, along with existing Water and Sewer Fund Balance, will be used to complete capital projects. In FY24/25, the following sewer capital projects are identified in the Community Investment Plan - $178,504 for Freund Lift Station Pump and Mechanical Upgrade (Bidding & Construction), $325,000 for Sanitary Sewer Lining Annual Program, $20,000 for MCC 50 & MCC 70 HVAC Replacement, $40,000 for Dryer Rotary Joint Replacement, and $100,000 for Secondary Clarifier Drive Rebuilds (Clarifiers 1-4). FY24/25 Utility Division FY24/25 Utility Division operating expenditures are projected at $1,029,088, a decrease of $28,782 (2.72%) from FY23/24. Personnel Costs have decreased by $12,282 due to reduced benefit costs due to different insurance elections, and Contractual and Supplies expenses were decreased as well to better match actuals. As discussed above, the Utility Division is funded through transfers from the Water and Wastewater Division revenues. If transfers from the Water and Wastewater Divisions exceed expenses within the Utility Division, adjustments will be made in the following fiscal years, which may result in lower operating budgets for the Water and Wastewater Divisions. 2225 ANALYSIS – CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT/CAPITAL EQUIPMENT PROJECTS: As stated earlier, the Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment Funds will be phased out as projects that were budgeted in those two funds are completed. These will be replaced by the newly-created Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Fund (funded by ComEd Utility Taxes) and the Capital Asset New Project Fund (funded by Nicor Utility Taxes). Any remaining fund balance will be transferred to the Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Fund to address maintenance of existing infrastructure and equipment. The following capital projects have been identified for implementation and funding through the FY24/25 General Fund budget. These include a combination of new projects as well as projects identified for “carryover” or “rebudgeting” from FY23/24 due to timing of the fiscal year end. As a reminder, as of FY21/22, the Local Street Program is funded primarily through Motor Fuel Tax revenues (as distinct from General Fund revenues).

The City is centered on two major State highways – Illinois Route 31, which runs north/south from Wisconsin to South Elgin; and Illinois Route 120, which runs east/west from Woodstock to Park City. The City consists of approximately 13 square miles in land area. In 1832, Major William McHenry led an expeditionary force through northern Illinois during the Black Hawk War. Settlement of the Fox River Valley began over the next few years, and on the river's west bank, at the site of an old Indian ford, the hamlet of McHenry established in 1836. The McLean, Wheeler, McCullom, and Boone families were influential in the community's early years. A sawmill, hotel, and ferryboat were in operation by 1837, and legislation creating McHenry County was passed that year. The village served as county seat until 1844. Gristmills started along newly dammed Boone Creek, and a wagon road entered town from the south in 1851. In 1864, the famed Riverside Hotel was built and still stands today. George Gage, who served as the region's first state senator (1854–1858), owned the lands west of the millpond, and was able to secure the route of the Fox Valley Railroad (afterward a branch of the Chicago & North Western) from Chicago in 1854. Consequently, Gagetown (later West McHenry) began to eclipse the older east side of town containing 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 in 1872. Though there were fewer than 800 inhabitants, commerce flourished. By 1876, there were seven churches and over 80 enterprises, including flour mills, harnessmakers, a pickle factory, a brewery, seven saloons, and a newspaper. The newspaper, the McHenry Plaindealer, was in publication from 1875 to 1985. Over the next 50 years, McHenry grew slowly. During the 1920s, 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 tour the famous lotus beds, and summer cottages proliferated along the Fox River. A boat-building industry flourished; marine recreation still remains important. For decades, McHenry took very seriously its title as the "Gateway to the Chain-of-Lakes,” and this is still evidenced today in the city’s motto, “Heart of the Fox River.” With the advent of the automobile, State Route 120 crossed the Fox River on a new two-lane bridge. The old wagon trail, now Highway 31, doglegged along the same route for a critical half mile before turning north toward Wisconsin. These configurations effectively relocated the city's commercial center to Route 120, and also had the unintended side effect of isolating the original business districts (West Main, Riverside Drive, and Green Street). In addition to its beauty and strong attraction to tourists, McHenry owed its 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 Admiral, Borden and The Hunter Boat Company. The Fox River helped facilitate the import and export of lumber, cigars, clay, food products and brewing, which all helped 2730 draw new residents to the area. The drainage of a large 60-acre pond that previously divided the community in half contributed to increased development and improved roadways, while the railroad allowed commuters to find this area the perfect place to settle with their families. A new wave of industry, including automotive components, electronics, and metalworking, swept into town after World War II. The Northern Illinois 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 to work in other localities, including Chicago. McHenry's population tripled from 2,080 in 1950 to 6,772 in 1970, and tripled again to 21,501 in 2000. The City of McHenry’s current population is approximately 28,117, including approximately 11,018 occupied housing units, 8,291 of which are owner-occupied and 2,727 of which are renter-occupied, with an average household size of 2.5 and a median household income of $83,651. The median age is 42.2, 26.9% of which have bachelor’s degrees or higher (of those 25 years or older). The City’s three largest employment industry sectors are Healthcare (16.8%), Retail Trade (13.6%) and Administration (13.1%). Currently, homes for sale in McHenry, IL have an average price of $302,519. On the average, homes in McHenry, IL sell after 18 days on the market as compared to the national average of 42 days on the market. The average sale price for homes in the City of McHenry over the last 12 months is $296,500, which is up 7% from the average home sale price over the previous 12 months. Approximately 606 homes have sold in McHenry over the past 12 months. The City’s 2023 EAV was $918,922,607. Green Street looking south from State Route 120 (circa 1920s) 2831 Budget Document Guide This budget document is prepared with two major objectives in mind. First, to provide citizens and others interested in the City’s finances with complete and understandable information regarding the budget. Second, to develop an annual fiscal plan that will assist City leaders in making better decisions and enhance financial accountability. This document shall serve as: Policy Document As a policy document, the City Council has established specific strategies to achieve its goals through policy decisions as noted in the City Administrator’s letter of transmittal. These sections include: •A budget message, included in the transmittal letter, that articulates priorities and budgetissues, particularly major issues affecting budget decisions; •Short-term initiatives that guide development of the budget in the upcoming year; and •General information describing each budget unit’s prior year accomplishments and budgetyear goals and objectives. Operations Guide As an operations guide, the budget document describes activities, services, and functions carried out by the organizational units. In addition, it provides an organizational chart and summary of authorized personnel for the prior year and the budget year. Financial Plan As a financial plan, the budget document describes all funds subject to appropriation in the fund structure overview section. In addition, all summaries of all major revenues and expenditures are provided in summary tables. The final budget also includes actual General Fund revenues for the FY17/18 through FY22/23 and estimated actuals for FY23/24 as well as budget amounts for FY23/24 and FY24/25. Finally, the summary section includes information as the projected changes in fund balances for all appropriated funds. Communication Device The Budget Document contains narratives, supplemented with tables and charts, which present the budget in a manner that is simple and understandable. The Proposed FY24/25 Budget is available for public review at the McHenry Municipal Center, 333 S. Green Street, McHenry, as well as on the City’s website at www.cityofmchenry.org, both before and after adoption by the City Council. Basis of Accounting and Budgeting The City of McHenry uses the modified 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 funds, the City 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 that capital outlay items are included in the budget. 2932 The City prepares its budget on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The City appropriates funds for capital projects on a fiscal year basis. The Capital Projects section of this document includes descriptive information on each project with estimated costs and financing sources. Budget Process Summary Budget Process Overview The City’s annual fiscal year budget covers the period beginning May 1st and ending April 30th and contains information relative to estimated revenues and planned operational and capital expenditures for 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 Community Investment Plan (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. Capital Improvement Plan/Community Investment Plant Previous to FY21/22, the City of McHenry utilized a five-year Capital Improvement Program as a planning tool for the identification of capital improvement and capital equipment projects. In an effort to develop a more useful short and long-term planning and budgeting tool for capital improvement and capital equipment items, the City developed a new Community Investment Plan document to replace the Capital Improvement Plan beginning in FY22/23. This document provides more accurate financials for capital acquisition and replacement over a 20-year period. This document is also reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Budget Roles and Responsibilities 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 City Administrator, are accountable to the City Council and to the residents of McHenry for the performance of departments in meeting goals and objectives as they are laid out 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 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 fund line item requests found in the attached budget document are identified. Budget Officer Finance System In FY19/20, the City adopted the Budget Officer Finance System after using the appropriation method previously. The annual budget serves in lieu of the appropriation ordinance and must be adopted prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. The Illinois Optional Municipal Budget Act, passed by the Illinois General Assembly in 1967, allows municipalities to use the budget as the legal document to 3033 spend public monies. Prior to the budget being passed, the document must be made available for public inspection at least ten days prior to its passage. A notice must be published not less than one week after the budget is made available for the public inspection and at least one week prior to the public hearing. Budget Amendment Process During the fiscal year it may be necessary, from time to time, to amend the approved budget for spending that was not planned for during the budget process. Budget amendments are brought before Council, per the Purchasing Policy and Procedures approved in 2016 and updated in 2020. Budgetary Controls 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 make operational adjustments throughout the year as necessary. Any deviations from the fund budgetary amounts are discussed in this document and, when necessary, solutions are presented. Quarterly financial reports are also transmitted to the City Council via a City Council Meeting Consent Agenda to ensure that the elected body is consistently apprised of the status of municipal revenues and expenditures. 3134 Budget Process Timeline Tuesday, January 2, 2024 City Administrator, Finance Director distribute instructions for budget preparation to Department Directors Friday, January 19, 2024 Department Directors submit budget requests to City Administrator and Finance Director – revenues and expenditures only (no narratives) January 22-February 2, 2024 City Administrator and Finance Director review budget requests with respective Department Directors Friday, February 2, 2024 Department Directors submit completed budget narratives to City Administrator February 5 - March 1, 2024 Preparation of the Draft FY24/25 Budget Monday, March 4, 2024 Transmit Draft FY24/25 Budget to City Council (operating funds) Monday, March 18, 2024 City Council Regular Meeting - Discussion of Draft FY24/25 Budget (operating funds) Monday, April 1, 2024 City Council Regular Meeting – Discussion of Draft FY24/25 Budget (all funds) Wednesday, April 10, 2024 Final FY24/25 Budget (including narratives) transmitted to City Council Monday, April 15, 2024 Annual Meeting - FY24/25 Budget adopted by City Council 3235 City of McHenry Organizational Chart Mayor and City Council Office of the City Administrator Parks & Recreation Parks Maintenance Recreation Center Aquatic Center Recreation Programs Community Development Planning & Zoning Commercial Inspections Residential Inspections Code Enforcement Municipal Center Maintenance Economic Development Finance Accounts Payable Accounts Receivable Utility Billing Administrative Adjudication Public Works Treatment Operations Water Division Sewer Division Field Operations Streets Division Utility Division Human Resources Police Operations Division Support Services Division NERCOM Dispatch Information Technology City Attorney City Clerk Deputy City Clerk/Executive Assistant 3336 Personnel Summary The following table provides a summary overview of the staffing level of the municipality for the previous five (5) fiscal years and identifies the proposed staffing level for FY24/25.

General Fund Revenues are comprised of Intergovernmental sources such as Property Tax, State Sales Tax, Local Sales Tax, State Income Tax, State Replacement Tax, State Pull Tabs, Inter Track Wagering, State Communications Tax, and State Grants; Local Sources such as Franchise Fees, Licenses and Permits, Fines and Forfeitures, Charges for Services, and Interest Income; and Miscellaneous sources such as Donations and Reimbursements for Services. General Fund Expenses 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). Please reference the spreadsheet found at the end of this section titled “General Fund – Revenues, Expenditures and Fund Balance Summary” for the following discussion. General Fund Revenue, Expenditure and Fund Balance Summary In summary, FY24/25 proposed General Fund Revenues and Expenditures reflect total revenues of $31,174,529 (an increase of $1,399,275 or 4.7% from the FY23/24 Budget amount – Row 27, Column W), and total operating expenditures of $30,331,312 (an increase of $1,038,373 or 3.54%, less capital, from the FY23/24 Budget amount – Row 38, Column W). This reflects a net difference (revenues over expenditures) of $843,217. Importantly, this means that the proposed General Fund Operating Budget, as presented, is BALANCED. While COVID-19 has made many revenues volatile over the last few years, 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 increases in revenues relate to projections for State Income Taxes (an increase of $423,306 or 10.04% - Row 12, Column W), Intertrack Wagering Taxes (an increase of $13,000 or 52% - Row 17, Column W), Video Gaming Revenue (an increase of $25,000 or 2.78% - Row 18, Column W), Charges for Services (an increase of $171,000 or 14.09% - Row 22, Column W), Reimbursements (an increase of $643,744 or 20.91% - Row 23, Column W), and Interest Income (an increase of $250,000 or 71.43% - Row 24, Column W). These increases are partially offset by decreases to Property Taxes (a decrease of $40,379 or 0.8% - Row 9, Column W), State Sales Taxes (a decrease of $104,490 or 1.10% - Row 10, Column W), and Franchise Fees (a decrease of $40,000 or 10.53% - Row 19, Column W). Regarding General Fund Expenditures, Personnel costs are proposed to increase by $324,310, or 1.72% (Row 30, Column W) due to Union Contract increases, CPI-U increases for non-bargaining unit employees, the addition of a part-time FOIA Officer in the police department and higher insurance costs. It should be noted that a portion of the Police Dispatch Center costs and the School Resource Officers that are in the middle and high 5962 schools are offset by General Fund Revenue increases in the form of reimbursements (reflected in Row 23, Column W) from dispatch partner agencies, customers, and the school districts. Most notably, FY24/25 General Fund Expenditures, as proposed, reflect increased Contractual costs of $443,252 or 11.66% (Row 31, Column W), and Transfers reflect an increase of $248,212 or 5.97% (Row 35, Column W). Reasons for these increases are discussed in detail later in this memorandum. Finally, the FY24/25 General Fund Expenditures, as identified in this attachment, do not include any transfers for Capital Improvement or Capital Equipment at this time. As discussed in detail on pages 12 and 13 of this memo, the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy defines the process for transferring excess funds for capital needs. In FY22/23 and FY23/24, capital projects were budgeted in the General Fund using Fund balance, which canceled the Fund Balance transfer that would have occurred during the audit process. There are a few carryover projects from FY23/24 that are budgeted to be completed in FY24/25, as well as $100,000 in vehicle replacement purchases included in the General Fund Budget. At this time, estimated Fund Balance totals for FY23/24 show that there will be Fund Balance available to transfer to the Capital Accounts for projects, in accordance with the City’s policy. However, with the creation of the ComEd and Nicor Utility Taxes in FY2023/24, capital projects will be primarily budgeted using Utility Tax funds going forward. This may necessitate updates to the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy; this topic will be brought forward for City Council consideration after the FY23/24 audit has concluded. Carrying the General Fund Revenue and Expenditure estimates through the end of the fiscal year (April 30, 2024), it is projected that the total General Fund Balance will be $19,223,163 at the end of FY23/24 (Column V, Row 44). As defined in the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy, the estimated required 120-day General Fund Balance Reserve would be $10,096,337, so this balance is projected to be approximately $9,126,826 higher than the requirement. However, a significant amount of this fund balance is reserved for specific projects. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) COVID funds ($3,682,586) are reserved for the Route 31 widening capital project projected to commence in FY25/26; Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP, or 911) Grant funds ($1,240,442) are reserved specifically for dispatch expenses and are approved for spending by the NERCOM board; and Police Seizure Funds ($221,256) can only be allotted to specific Police eligible expenses. The remaining FY23/24 General Fund Balance that could be utilized for capital projects is $4,203,798 (Column V, Row 49); as you will see, a portion of this amount is budgeted for capital projects to be completed in FY24/25. REVENUES: General Fund Revenues – FY23/24 Budgeted, FY23/24 Estimated, FY24/25 Proposed 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. Some revenues can be clearly identified and estimated based on historical performance or other factors. For example, Property Tax revenue is based on the adoption of the annual property tax levy. However, the economic recession of 2007/2008 and the pandemic have served to remind 6063 local governments that economic-based revenues, such as Sales Taxes and State Income Taxes, are not guaranteed and are closely tied to the economy and disposable income. In estimating General Fund Revenues for the purpose of budget development, 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 threats. Utilizing this philosophy, 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. FY23/24 Budgeted Revenues (Column U) In FY23/24, total budgeted General Fund Revenues were $29,775,254 (Column U, Row 27). Of this, $5,027,941 (16.9%) was from Property Taxes, $9,460,894 (31.8%) was from the City’s 1% share of the State Sales Tax, $3,866,480 (13.0%) was from the .75% Local Sales Tax, and $4,216,779 (14.2%) came from the City’s share of the State Income Tax. Revenues derived from these four (4) sources were budgeted at $22,572,094 or 75.8% of total General Fund Revenues. Of the remaining $7,203,160 (24.2%) in budgeted General Fund Revenues, $1,213,289 (4.1%) were from Charges for Services, $3,078,871 (10.3%) from Reimbursement for Services, $363,000 (1.2%) from Fines and Forfeitures, $295,000 (1.0%) from Licenses and Permits, $380,000 (1.3%) from Franchise Fees, $900,000 (3.0%) from Video Gaming, $200,000 from Telecommunications Tax (0.7%), $350,000 (1.2%) from Interest Income, and the remaining $423,000 (1.4%) came from all other sources combined. FY23/24 Estimated Revenues (Column V) The following estimated revenues are based on 10 months of actual revenues and projected through the remainder of the fiscal year (April 30, 2024). Unfortunately, in some cases this estimation is more difficult than simply annualizing by dividing the 10-month actual by 10 and multiplying by 12, due to the timing of when specific revenues are received. Further, FY23/24 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 2024, 4-5 months into the new budget year. At this time, estimated General Fund Revenues are projected to be $31,192,842 (Column V, Row 27) or $1,417,588 (4.8%) higher than FY23/24 Budgeted revenues of $29,775,254. This reflects an estimated decrease of $640,759, or 2.0%, from FY22/23 Actual revenues of $31,833,601. Notably, FY23/24 Estimated Revenues, when compared to FY22/23 Actual revenues and FY23/24 Budgeted revenues, highlight the following: • (Row 10) State Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $37,185 (0.4%) lower than budgeted and $100,000 (1.1%) lower than the FY22/23 Actual amount. 6164 • (Row 11) Local Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $73,735 (1.9%) lower than budgeted and $30,000 (0.8%) lower than received in FY22/23. • (Row 10 + Row 11) Combined, total Sales Tax revenue is estimated to be $110,920 (0.8%) lower than budgeted and $130,000 (1.0%) lower than the FY22/23 Actual. State Sales Tax revenues have shown significant signs of an economic recovery since the beginning of COVID-19, but they have recently begun to this year are showing signs of level off. Estimates and proposed amounts for FY24/25 are extremely conservative, as City Administration watches the actual receipts closely. As a reminder, Local Sales Tax revenues do not include the sale of licensed or titled items such as cars, boats or motorcycles. As such, while the economic recovery and resulting increase in the sale of licensed vehicles has had a positive impact on the City’s portion of the State Sales Tax, it has not similarly impacted Local Sales Tax revenues. • (Row 12) State Income Tax receipts are estimated to be $226,144 (5.4%) higher than budgeted and $58,494 (1.3%) higher than FY22/23. • (Row 13) State Replacement Tax receipts are estimated to be $53,333 (27.7%) lower than budgeted and $99,766 (40.5%) lower than FY22/23. • (Row 15) Self Storage Tax receipts are estimated to be $9,433 (7.9%) higher than budgeted and $85,376 (193.8%) higher than FY22/23. These taxes were not budgeted in FY22/23, as the tax was passed by City Council in June of 2022 and went to effect on 1/1/2023. • (Row 18) Video Gaming revenues are estimated to be $926,806, which is $26,806 (3.0%) higher than budgeted and $15,603 (1.7%) lower than FY22/23. • (Row 19) Franchise Fees revenues are estimated to be $34,027 (9.0%) lower than budgeted and $33,105 (8.7%) lower than FY22/23. • (Row 22) Charges for Services revenues are estimated to be $271,867 (22.4%) higher than budgeted and $98,048 (7.1%) higher than FY22/23. • (Row 23) Reimbursements for services revenues are estimated to be $425,262 (13.8%) higher than budgeted and $850,720 (32.1%) higher than FY22/23. The large increase over FY23/24 budget is due to Reimbursements for the two school resource officers in the middle schools that were not budgeted. • (Row 24) Interest Income revenues are estimated to be $493,766 (141%) higher than budgeted and $404,144 (91.9%) higher than FY22/23 due to increased interest rates, as well as fund reserves held for Rt. 31 construction and other purposes. 6265 • (Row 26) Miscellaneous Income revenues are estimated at $4,778 (6.2%) higher than budgeted and $2,043,202 (96.2%) lower than FY22/23. The large decrease over the FY22/23 actual is due to ARPA COVID funds received in FY22/23. In summary, FY23/24 Estimated Revenues are projected at $1,417,588 (4.8%) higher than budgeted primarily due to State Income Tax, Video Gaming receipts, Fines and Forfeitures, Charges for Services, Interest Income, and Reimbursements. When compared to FY22/23 Actual Revenues, total General Fund Revenues decreased $640,759 (2.0%). This is primarily due to State and Local Tax receipts, State Replacement Tax, and Miscellaneous Income. FY24/25 Proposed Revenues (Column W) FY24/25 Proposed General Fund Revenues represent a net increase of $1,399,275 (4.7%) from FY23/24 Budgeted revenues and a decrease of $659,072 (2.1%) from FY22/23 Actual revenues. Highlights of changes to General Fund Revenues proposed for FY24/25 include: • (Row 9) At the direction of City Council, the City’s property tax levy was not increased for 2024. This, combined with declining Road and Bridge Taxes and property tax collection rates around 99%, resulted in an estimated Property Tax revenue decrease of $40,379 (0.8%) versus the FY23/24 Budget. • (Row 10) State Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $9,356,404, which is $104,490 (1.1%) lower than FY23/24 Budget. The City has seen the leveling out of Sales Taxes during FY23/24, so FY24/25 revenue was conservatively decreased. o The Governor has proposed permanently eliminating the state-wide 1% Grocery Tax and has not proposed covering the losses from other sources for local governments. If this occurs, the City’s Sales Tax revenue would decrease by approximately an additional $900,000. This would be a significant reduction to the City’s overall budget. As of March 1, 2024, the Illinois Municipal League is actively lobbying against this proposal on behalf of Illinois municipalities. • (Row 11) Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $3,874,618, an increase of $8,138 (.2%) from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 10 + Row 11) Combined State and Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $13,231,022, a decrease of $96,352 (0.7%) from the FY23/24 Budget amount. • (Row 12) State Income Tax revenues are proposed at $4,640,085, an increase of $423,306 (10.04%) from FY23/24. Regarding State Income Tax revenues, please note the following: o There are multiple agencies working to restore the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF), which includes Income Tax distribution, to its full 6366 10 percent (which was cut to 6% in 2011, changed a few times since then and currently sits at just over 6%). Over the years, the Governor has proposed cutting an additional 10% from the LGDF. Restoring or cutting these funds could represent a large increase or decrease in revenues. Staff will continue to watch these developments closely in case expense adjustments need to be made to offset any decrease in revenue. • (Row 14) State Telecommunication Tax revenues are proposed at $190,000, which is $10,000 (5.0%) less than the amount budgeted in FY23/24, as revenues have continued to decline over the last few years. • (Row 15) Self Storage Tax receipts are expected to be $125,000 in FY24/25, an increase of $5,000 (4.2%) from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 18) Video Gaming revenues are proposed at $925,000, a $25,000 (2.78%) increase from the FY23/24 Budget amount. • (Row 19) Franchise Fees revenues are proposed to decrease by $40,000, or 10.53% from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 20) Licenses and Permits revenues are proposed to decrease by $6,000, or 2.03% from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 22) Charges for Services revenues are proposed to increase by $171,000, or 14.09% from the amount budgeted in FY23/24. • (Row 23) Reimbursements are proposed to increase $643,744 or 20.91%. This category includes the Police Dispatch Center revenues derived from partner and customer agencies served through this facility, police school resource officer reimbursements, police impound fees, and other miscellaneous reimbursements. • (Row 24) Interest Income is proposed to increase $250,000 (71.43%) due to increasing interest rates. • (Row 26) Miscellaneous Income is proposed to increase $116,456 or 151.24%, primarily due to anticipated Police Department Grant funds for body cameras. In summary, FY24/25 Proposed Revenues are $1,399,275 (4.7%) higher than budgeted in FY23/24 and $18,313 (0.05%) lower than FY23/24 Estimated revenues. The primary reasons for the proposed increase include an increase in Local Sales Tax ($8,138), an increase to the Income Tax ($423,306), an increase to the Self Storage Tax ($5,000), an increase in Video Gaming revenues ($25,000), an increase in Fines and Forfeitures revenues ($15,000), an increase to Charges for Services revenues ($171,000), an increase to Reimbursement revenues ($643,744), an increase to 6467 Interest Income ($250,000), and an increase to Miscellaneous revenues ($116,456). These increases are partially offset by decreases to Property Tax revenue ($40,379), Sales Tax ($104,490), State Replacement Tax revenue ($70,000), State Telecommunication Tax revenue ($10,000), Franchise Fees revenues ($40,000), and Licenses and Permit revenues ($6,000). EXPENDITURES: General Fund Expenditures – FY23/24 Budgeted, FY23/24 Estimated, FY24/25 Proposed 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), Parks and Recreation (100.41), and Parks Maintenance (100.45). In addition, 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. FY23/24 Budgeted Expenditures (Column U) In FY23/24, total budgeted expenditures (capital and operating) were $31,881,339. Budgeted capital expenditures were $2,588,400, and budgeted operating expenditures were $29,292,939. While this amount reflected an increase of $2,858,417 (10.8%) from the FY22/23 Actual expenditures (Column T, Row 38), this difference was primarily due to contractual and personnel expenses. Three additional police officers, two lead telecommunicators, and a Communications Specialist were added to the Police, Dispatch, and Administration departments, respectively. These three positions added almost $700,000 to the budget. The additional $1.1 million was due to contract step and cost of living adjustments for bargaining unit employees and a 5% increase to non-bargaining unit employees as well as insurance increases. Contractual expenses increased just over $550,000 due to increased legal fees, contractual street resurfacing expenses, Comprehensive Plan expenses, and Façade grant expenses. FY23/24 Estimated Expenditures (Column V) In general, City Administration – including department directors, superintendents, and supervisors – closely monitors expenditures throughout the year to ensure that operating budgets stay within the approved amounts. The fiscal diligence of all of these individuals most often results in expenditures being less than the amount budgeted. Even with surging prices due to recent inflationary pressures, expenditures have been well managed and continue to fall within the budget. 6568 For FY23/24, operating expenditures are estimated at $27,595,037, or $1,697,902 (5.8%) less than the budgeted amount of $29,292,939. Highlights of changes to FY23/24 Estimated Expenditures include: • (Row 30) Reduced Personnel costs of $1,012,894 (5.4%) resulting from budgeted positions unfilled during the year and lower benefit costs. • (Row 31) Contractual costs are estimated at $485,064 (12.8%) lower than the original budget, due to projects that are started (including the Comprehensive Plan and Streets Engineering) but not yet completed, and therefore will need to be carried over to FY24/25. • (Row 32) Supply costs are estimated at $125,972 (10.9%) less than budget. • (Row 33) Other estimated expenditures are estimated at $73,972 (5.6%) less than the original budget. • (Row 34) Capital Outlay expenditures are $495,315 less than the original budget; however, funds have been carried over to complete a number of these projects in FY24/25. Note: City Administration anticipates changes to FY23/24 Estimated expenditures due to increases or decreases in revenues and expenses through the end of the fiscal year. FY24/25 Proposed Expenditures (Column W) FY24/25 proposed operating expenditures represent an increase of $1,038,373 (3.54%) from the FY23/24 Operating Budget amount of $29,292,939. Highlights of changes to General Fund Expenditures proposed for FY24/25 include: • (Row 30) Personnel costs are proposed to increase $324,310 (1.72%) over the amount budgeted in FY23/24. Personnel costs include salaries, overtime, health/dental/life/vision insurance, FICA, Police Pension and IMRF retirement, and uniforms. Significant year-over-year changes include: 1. Personnel costs related to salaries account for a $341,077 increase from FY23/24 to FY24/25 due to contract steps and cost of living adjustments. Employees covered by collective bargaining units IUOE Local 150 (Public Works, Parks employees), FOP Unit 1 (Police Patrol), and FOP Unit 2 (Dispatch) receive contract steps and cost of living adjustments (IUOE Local 150 – 2.25%, FOP Unit 1 – 3.5% and FOP Unit 2 – 2.5%). Wage increases are included for Police Sergeants and other non-bargaining employees based on the previous year’s Consumer Price Index for All Urban Areas (CPI-U), which was 3.34% in 2023. City Administration has used the CPI-U as the marker for non-bargaining unit employee increases since FY15/16. In FY24/25, the 6669 increases were set at 3.5%, just above the CPI-U. There is no additional merit component proposed for FY24/25. 2. Police Pension costs are proposed at $2,373,955 (of which $1,663,589 is a transfer to the Debt Service Fund to cover the Pension Obligation Bond). This equates to an increase of $37,427 (1.6%). Police Pension costs are determined by an actuary retained by the Police Pension Board and are based on several factors, including wages, investment rate, and age of the workforce. The City issued the Pension Obligation Bond in 2020 to set the City up to be 100% funded by the required deadline of 2040. 3. A second part-time Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Officer position has been added to the Police Department budget to process the additional FOIA requests that are anticipated due to the addition of body cameras; this position is budgeted at $21,920. 4. NERCOM has voted to again use PSAP funds to supplement the budget. In FY22/23, $300,000 in PSAP funds was used to cover expenses; this was increased to $500,000 in FY23/24. For FY24/25, $700,000 in PSAP revenues are budgeted to offset dispatch center expenses. Note that the NERCOM board for the dispatch center approved adding two additional Lead Telecommunicator positions to the FY23/24 budget; however, these positions were not filled until December 2023, resulting in salary and benefit savings. 5. Total Benefit costs are proposed to decrease $88,447 (9.4%) due to decreases to insurance elections, FICA, and IMRF costs. • (Row 31) Contractual costs are anticipated to increase by $443,252 (11.66%) from the amount budgeted in FY23/24 due to the following: 1. The purchase of Body Worn and In-Squad Cameras for the Police Department will add $265,768 to the FY24/25 budget. The Department will apply for grant funding to cover a portion of this cost; in anticipation of being awarded this grant, $115,456 has been budgeted in Reimbursement Revenue. Note that there will be a recurring annual cost for data storage after the first year of the contract. 2. Streets Department expenses were increased by $74,200 (30.29%) to cover an updated road condition survey. 3. Parks Department expenses were increased by $81,914 (28.29%) due to increased special recreation association (NISRA) dues, fees, and additional parks trip expenses. 4. Additional funds were added to other line items due to expected increases in prices due to inflation. 6770 • (Row 32) Supplies expenditures are proposed to be increased by 0.61% ($7,100) due to increases in prices for all supplies. • (Row 33) Other expenditures are anticipated to increase by $15,499 (1.18%) due to additional funds budgeted for Special Events. • (Row 35) Transfers are anticipated to increase by $248,212 (5.97%) due to increased expenses in the Information Technology Fund. GENERAL FUND BALANCE: On February 1, 2016, City Council adopted a Fund Balance and Reserve Policy that, in summary, establishes minimum levels for designated funds to ensure stability and meet future needs. This policy 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.” The policy 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 regard 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 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 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, 6871 • Provide a funding source for unanticipated expenditures or emergencies that may occur. As identified, the parameters in this policy help to guide 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.” The FY23/24 Budget included a beginning General Fund balance of $17,718,443 (Column U, Row 6), based on FY22/23 audited financial information. Based on FY23/24 budgeted revenues, operating expenditures, and capital expenditures (which were funded with fund balance), it was anticipated that the ending fund balance would be $15,612,358 (Column U, Row 44), with an estimated ending unassigned 120-day fund balance of $9,739,783 (Column U, Row 45). With a total of $4,452,282 reserved for the Rt. 31 widening and other uses discussed on page 4 above, the anticipated balance to be transferred to the Capital Improvement Fund was projected to be $1,420,293 (Column U, Row 49). This figure was used to develop the FY24/25 Budget. As noted previously, the City recently implemented two Utility Taxes to address General Fund Capital needs. The ComEd Utility Tax was implemented for existing capital asset maintenance and replacement, and the Nicor Utility Tax was implemented for new capital assets. The City’s existing Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment Funds will be phased out once projects are completed within those funds; they will be replaced with the Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Fund (to be funded by the ComEd Utility Tax) and the Capital Asset New Project Fund (to be funded by the Nicor Utility Tax). As referenced above, due to these changes, the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy will likely need to be updated to provide direction for future years where revenues may be greater than expenses. 6972 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 4546474849 A J L N P R T U V W X Y FY17/18 FY18/19 FY19/20 FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Budget Budget Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed Variance $Variance % FUND BALANCE BEGINNING 7,303,780 7,266,953 7,263,313 7,036,056 9,985,441 14,705,115 17,720,608 17,720,608 19,225,328 1,504,720 8.49% REVENUES Property Taxes 4,947,812 4,945,232 4,950,914 4,940,219 4,844,022 4,975,754 5,027,941 5,000,455 4,987,562 (40,379) -0.80% State Sales Tax 7,659,203 7,765,544 7,810,823 8,730,755 9,227,405 9,523,709 9,460,894 9,423,709 9,356,404 (104,490) -1.10% Local Sales Tax 1,988,773 2,003,318 2,642,858 2,997,213 3,580,074 3,822,745 3,866,480 3,792,745 3,874,618 8,138 0.21% State Income Tax 2,456,160 2,792,465 2,655,608 3,276,353 4,301,251 4,384,429 4,216,779 4,442,923 4,640,085 423,306 10.04% State Replacement Tax 59,769 65,260 83,626 78,561 184,105 246,433 200,000 146,667 130,000 (70,000) -35.00% State Telecommunications Tax 129,378 123,903 260,750 244,938 209,789 198,361 200,000 190,300 190,000 (10,000) -5.00% Self Storage Tax - - - - - 44,057 120,000 129,433 125,000 5,000 4.17% Pull Tabs 886 883 930 893 674 1,312 1,000 310 500 (500) -50.00% Intertrack Wagering 49,872 46,192 40,725 16,080 31,550 39,296 25,000 39,184 38,000 13,000 52.00% Video Gaming 522,691 609,064 533,347 629,107 906,233 942,409 900,000 926,806 925,000 25,000 2.78% Franchise Fees 344,775 345,056 352,679 360,325 386,552 379,078 380,000 345,973 340,000 (40,000) -10.53% Licenses and Permits 368,219 440,575 274,640 346,134 397,499 313,857 295,000 298,874 289,000 (6,000) -2.03% Fines and Forfeitures 368,411 349,262 349,075 309,027 420,532 343,690 363,000 539,780 378,000 15,000 4.13% Charges for Services 1,142,382 1,182,875 1,191,117 927,154 1,271,413 1,387,108 1,213,289 1,485,156 1,384,289 171,000 14.09% Reimbursements 2,127,511 2,338,070 2,072,393 3,504,190 2,732,948 2,653,413 3,078,871 3,504,133 3,722,615 643,744 20.91% Interest Income 80,010 165,029 152,344 15,771 12,157 439,622 350,000 843,766 600,000 250,000 71.43% Donations 17,279 4,450 640 750 13,064 13,348 - 850 - - #DIV/0!

Finance (100.04) Salary/Benefit costs are anticipated to decrease by $59,840 (10.71%) due to moving an existing Customer Support Specialist position to the Community Development Department. Contractual Expenses are expected to increase $5,000 (7.04%) due to higher credit card fees and postage increases. Development Expenses are expected to be remain the same, as no new incentives were added in FY23/24.

Salary costs (Column W, Rows 7 through 11) are identified to increase by $178,559 due to the addition of a second part-time FOIA officer, sworn salary increases, and non-sworn salary increases. These increases are offset by benefit decreases of $16,030 which are attributable to lower insurance costs due to insurance election changes. . 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. Contractual Services are budgeted to increase by $294,318 (79.67%) due to the purchase of body-worn and in-car cameras, annual expenses for the McHenry Forensic Computer Tech Lab, increased telephone costs and training/travel. Supplies decrease by $16,950 (6.89%) due to lower gasoline usage/costs.

Dispatch Center (100.23) FY24/25 represents the eighth full year of operation for the consolidated dispatch center, NERCOM, which serves 16 area agencies. The proposed FY24/25 budget has been presented and approved by the partners of the dispatch center. The total amount proposed for the dispatch center in FY24/25 is $3,164,925. Salaries/Benefit Costs show a net decrease of $10,464 (0.35%) due to decreased benefit costs. As referenced above, PSAP Grant Funds have been used for the past few years to offset NERCOM’s costs. For FY22/23, the partners voted to use $300,000 in PSAP Grant funds; for FY23/24, this was increased to $500,000 in PSAP Grant funds (which are currently reflected in the General Fund Balance due to timing). The partners voted to increase PSAP grant funds to $700,000 to support the dispatch center for FY24/25. This grant funding has helped to lower the overall cost to the City and the other partners of the dispatch center, and the remaining funds can be used when updates are needed to the Center. As a reminder, the total dispatch center budget is also offset by more than $1.7 million in reimbursements as a result of the partnerships with the City of Woodstock, City of Harvard and McHenry Township Fire Protection District, and through charges for dispatch services paid by customers of the dispatch center. These are reflected as General Fund Revenues and included in Row 23 of the General Fund – Revenues, Expenditures and Fund Balance Summary sheet.

Parks and Recreation (100.41) As of FY23/24, the Parks Maintenance department was removed from the Parks and Recreation budget, but all programming expenses related to the Recreation Division not associated with the McHenry Recreation Center are still included. Revenues from recreation programming, which are reflected in General Fund Revenues, offset many of these costs. The overall FY24/25 Parks and Recreation budget is proposed to increase by a total of $254,811 (15.95%). Salary/Benefit costs are identified to increase by a total of $50,795 (7.2%), primarily due to increases to Seasonal Salaries for increased programming; Contractual Services are budgeted to increase by $81,914 (28.29%) due to increased NISRA dues, increased fees, and trip fees; Supplies to increase by $25,400 (23.94%); and Other costs to increase by $56,702 (11.41%) due to increases to Special Events expenses and the Information Technology and Recreation Center Transfers.

Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Annual Budget General Administration 7578 General Administration – Overview The General Administration Budget contains personnel and operational functions related to the provision of general administrative services and, beginning in FY19/20, includes capital projects expenditures from the General Fund Balance. Beginning in FY18/19, due to operational/department restructuring, economic development and human resources functions were formed under separate departmental budgets (Economic Development and Human Resources) and, as such, all related expenditures are now found within these budgets. Next, municipal center building and grounds maintenance activities are now included under the Department of Community Development and, starting in FY19/20, all Contractual and Repair and Maintenance costs related to these activities were also transferred to the Community Development Budget. Finally, capital projects to be funded through the General Fund Balance are accounted for in this fund. The Office of the City Administrator, which includes the positions of City Administrator and Deputy City Clerk, is responsible for providing management services, budgeting, legislative support, and communications to elected officials, staff, and the public in carrying out the policy and direction as set by the City Council. 7679 General Administration – Organizational Chart City Administrator Suzanne Ostrovsky Deputy City Clerk Monte Johnson 7780 General Administration – FY23/24 Accomplishments • Delivered positive financial results for FY23/24; the fiscal year is projected to end with 4.8% higher overall revenues and 6.9% lower overall expenses than budgeted. • Developed and presented a balanced operating budget to City Council for FY24/25, including a $3.2 million local street program. • Coordinated all City liquor and gaming license application procedures; enacted an ordinance in 2023 to help define a video gaming café, and to restrict any new video gaming cafes from obtaining liquor and gaming licenses. • Laserfiche, the City’s digital document program, continues to grow as over 1 million documents have now been scanned or uploaded to the system. This makes the finding of historical documents very efficient when it otherwise may have been impossible to find certain documents.

This includes compensation, benefits, wellness, staffing, recruitment & selection, internal policies, workers compensation and safety, performance management, labor relations, and employee relations, training, and process improvement. The City employs an average of 275 full and permanent part-time staff, including staff for the McHenry Recreation Center. During the summer season, this increases to around 330 employees. During the 24/25 budget year we, along with our consultants, will continue to watch insurance costs including health, workers compensation, and liability. The insurance industry continues to be volatile with weather-based claims throughout the country, the rising cost of pharmaceuticals, and the emotional health of our employees and their families. We continue to be as proactive as possible to mitigate claims, train on safety, and minimize insurance rate increases. 100103 Human Resources – Organizational Chart Director of Human Resources Ann Campanella Human Resources Coordinator Nicole Meyer 101104 Human Resources – FY23/24 Accomplishments • Wellness. Human Resources staff revised the City’s wellness program to increase employee accountability for their own health year-round. Continued success with our wellness program, including biometric screenings, earned the City nearly $20,000 in rebates from the IPBC, the City’s insurance cooperative. • We implemented a new electronic benefit system, PlanSource, through the IPBC. This was time consuming, as the migration of employee and retiree information from our old system did not go as PlanSource had planned. We were on the forefront of finding errors and working with the implementation team to find solutions. • NeoGov Perform Software Customization. This has moved from implementation to working on customization for different departments. • Harassment Prevention Training. Human Resources staff oversees the annual training required for all employees. • Employee Handbook. Yearly updates to align with new legislation. • Family & Medical Leave. Coordinator Meyer has kept the City compliant, managing 25 FMLA full time and intermittent cases in 2023. • Implementation of NeoGov Learn. Starting implementation of this learning management software. With the increasing requirement of mandated training, even for part time employees, this system that comes with thousands of interactive training modules, will track each employee’s training, send reminders, and give employees greater opportunities for development. • Implement Paid Time Off for All Workers Act. This new Illinois mandate took effect 1/1/24, however there was much work in 2023 to find a timekeeping system for the part time/seasonal staff, create the policy, and coordinate the training of timekeeping and the Act itself. 102105 Human Resources – FY24/25 Goals & Objectives • Processes & Procedures. Continue the process of creating a written record of all HR & Risk processes and procedures. • Wellness. Roll out updated wellness program and increase participation. • Risk Management. Work with our insurer, Safety National, to create more safety training options. • Compliance. Each year employers are required to provide numerous compliance notices to all employees, especially regarding health care. This year we will create a system to track and disseminate these notices. 103106 Human Resources – FY24/25 Performance Measures Item Goal Description FY24/25 Proposed Outcome(s) Training & Development Add customization to Learn program Customize training and create more courses Provide more training & development opportunities Process & Procedures Continue documentation of procedures & processes Analyze & document procedures & processes Process & Procedure manual for HR/Risk Performance Customize rating forms for departments that need customization Enhance some forms with customization More meaningful evaluations forms.

The McHenry Police Department operates off the core values of; Integrity, Courage, Service, Honor and Duty. Agency Structure The McHenry Police Department is the third largest law enforcement agency in McHenry County.

The Support Services Division and Field Operations Division are each headed by Division Commanders and the I.T. Division is headed by a manager. These supervisors report to the Deputy Chief of Police. The Deputy Chief of Police reports to the Chief of Police. All sections and units of the organization are structured under one of the following divisions. Field Operations Division The Patrol Section is the largest component of the Field Operations Division and is responsible for responding to both emergency and non-emergency calls for services from the public.

The Recreation Division of the Parks and Recreation Department consists of five full-time personnel. Director of Parks and Recreation Bill Hobson works alongside Athletics and Aquatics Supervisor Nicole Thompson, Recreation Supervisor Cindy Witt, Fitness Coordinator Becky Moore and Recreation Program Specialist Mannon Amelio to coordinate the various programs, events and services provided by the Department. Additionally, staff oversees the management of the McHenry Recreation Center, Petersen Beach and Merkel Aquatics Center facilities for the Department. The Parks Division, consisting of Superintendent of Parks and Downtown Maintenance Pat Gorniak, Assistant Superintendent Jeff Friedle and six (6) full-time Parks Maintenance Workers, maintain the City’s more than 650 acres of park space, contained in thirty-eight (38) municipally owned park sites. In addition, the Parks Division is responsible for maintaining the amenities of the City’s three downtown business districts – Riverside Drive, Green Street, and Main Street. 159162 Parks and Recreation – Organizational Chart 160163 Parks and Recreation – FY23/24 Accomplishments Recreation Center • Recreation Center memberships continued to rebound in 2023 from the significant Covid-related losses in 2020 and 2021. Membership totals have grown to nearly 1,300. These “active members” are paying members who are in an annual contract, in good standing, and do not include employees, punch pass holders or other short-term memberships. Special Events • River Run is in the process of rebuilding post-covid. The Kids Fun Run, catering to children aged 5-10, was a new addition this year and received positive feedback. The event will be relocated to Petersen Park and rebranded as the Lakefront 5K and Fun Run in 2024. • The Big Wheels Race is also gradually making a comeback, with around 40 children taking part. To boost participation, the event will be rescheduled to the first Sunday of Fiesta Days. • The first Let’s Get Jiggy Puzzle Competition in the spring was well received. • The Dad & Daughter Dance in February attracted a record turnout of over 500 attendees. Jersey Mike’s provided discounted food for the occasion. • Other holiday events throughout the seasons included the Halloween Bash, Santa’s Candy Cane Hunt, Letters from Santa, and Breakfast with the Bunny. Programs • Sixteen sessions of the Explorers Camp (ages 4-6) took place at Knox Park over the summer. Daily activities, arts & crafts, and games were organized around different themes. • The Summer Day Camp (ages 6-15) was highly successful at Knox Park, running for ten weeks with a full capacity of 125 campers each week. • The fall/spring dance program saw 125 students participating, with a dance recital scheduled for May 4 at McHenry High School West Campus. • The "Bags-to-Go" art-themed activities for toddlers continued throughout the year, offering monthly kits of activities and supplies for purchase and pickup. • The community rooms at the McHenry Recreation Center remained a popular choice for family and business events, being rented 58 times for occasions such as birthdays, showers, seminars, meetings, and luncheons. • Collaborative Programs with Local Businesses: o Rock ‘n’ Kids – Children’s music programs o Snapology of McHenry – Children’s programs, camps, & birthday parties o Totally Cupcaked (pick-up) – Monthly cupcake club 161164 o The Studio – Children's art & poetry classes at the local art studio o Young Rembrandts – Children’s art & cartooning programs and camps o Minds in Motion – Children's STEM programs & camps Field Trips • 35 Adult Field Trips were organized in partnership with Crystal Lake, Cary, and Barrington Park Districts, along with Lake in the Hills Parks and Recreation Department. These trips cater to adults and seniors, with at least two to three trips offered per month. Excursions include visits to theaters, musical productions, casinos, museums, historical tours, food tours, educational trips, and lunch outings. Athletics • We served 1,391 local youth through our sports programs during the last year. We continue to offer between 150-180 program session of athletics per year. It accounts for an increase of over $30,000 in revenue than the previous year. Our largest user group continues to be our 2-5 year old program offerings. We have added current trends like pickleball classes to our program offerings, along with partnering with a new gym and bringing back a gymnastics program. • Adult leagues continue to decline each year. So, we have tried to offer new leagues at different times of the year to see what works. Examples include fall adult basketball leagues, spring pickleball leagues, and a winter adult co-ed volleyball league. We will continue to market and explore running these programs while finding out what the community is looking for and what time of the year works best. We have moved to utilizing the unused fields for rentals to bring in additional revenue. • Fall/Winter swim team had 60 swimmers enrolled. To increase enrollment, we have started offering swim lessons during the school year at the upper campus pool. We have seen an increase in our swim team enrollment already through this endeavor. • Our McHenry Instructional Basketball league went into its 6th year of operations. We had 177 children enrolled in the league from grades 1st through 8th. The league continues to flourish and see advancement of all players with a focus on good sportsmanship. Aquatics • The pool had a total of 9,455 visitors. This was an increase of 2,632 more visitors than the 2022 season. The beach had a total of 2,353 visits during the 2023 operating season. • We saw an increase in revenue by close to $30,000 from the previous summer due to a minor fee increase, increased usage, high swim lesson numbers, and addition of swim lessons during the school year. • We serviced more than 486 children in our swim lesson program. The focus on safety around the pool and surrounding water continues to be a focal point for our program. The number is an increase of 146 kids from the previous season. 162165 • We continue to navigate repairs and maintenance plans for our facilities as they continue to age and become outdated. Every year we focus on replacing a little bit at a time as we know that repairs will continue to come up. This past season, we operated with our new heater installed that helped us maintain a comfortable water temp all season long. Parks Improvements • The defining project for the department in the past year was the complete renovation of Miller Point Park. The $2.6 million investment created a gathering point on the shores of the Fox River and Boone Creek. The park is set up to host both large and smaller events. It serves as the home for a privately owned boat and kayak rental business that the City leases to a private vendor, along with a small bar for refreshments. It is a destination location for the City of McHenry that also has become a hub for the Riverwalk. o Nearly $600,000 in donations was received for the park improvements:  $250,000 from the Gary Lang Family for the large amphitheater  $200,000 from the R.I.S.E. Up Foundation towards site improvements  $75,000 from the Cunat Family for a lighted splash pad  $30,000 from the A.D. Johnson Family Foundation for seatwalls  $7,500 from Mel and Cynthia Locke-Jones for sod in the park o Piers at Miller Point were also renovated as the existing had become unstable and did not accommodate larger boats very well. o $300,000 was invested into a permanent restroom/maintenance hub facility in the park. o City IT divisions installed numerous security cameras throughout the park. • A driving factor in the renovation of the park was the implementation of a tiny shoppes project that was the result of a partnership between the City of McHenry, the Parks and Recreation Department, the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce and the District 156 School District. o Ten incubator shoppes were to be constructed in order to bring businesses to town and provide an easy start-up venture, with a goal to transition those shoppes to permanent brick and mortar businesses. o A committee looked at many different locations and identified Miller Point Park as the optimal spot for the initiative. With an accepted park design by City Council, students at McHenry High School engineering and trades began construction of the walls for the shoppes. The “pre-fab” walls were transported by the Parks Department and stored in a barn. o The City bid the project which included $1.0 million in improvements for the tiny shoppes, renamed as the Riverwalk Shoppes, and construction commenced in March of 2023. o The Chamber of Commerce spearheaded construction. The community lined up with manpower and in-kind donations to the project in order to complete the shoppes. In all, the project benefited from over $800,000 of in-kind donations and volunteer hours. 163166 o Parks Maintenance staff played a huge role in the facilitation of the construction of the shoppes, on-site daily assisting in construction. o The Riverwalk Shoppes opened in August of 2023 and have been extremely successful in their short time. Applications for season 2 have been submitted and decided upon for the May 3, 2024, season open. • Another large-scale project completed in 2023 was the reroof of the Hickory Creek Horse Barn. The transition from a cedar shake roof to a metal roof will provide a safer, more weather-secure facility for the boarding of horses and the hose operation, including the storage of hay. The $350,000 investment into the property will ensure many years added to the structure and further the goal of introducing more of a public component to the use of the facility. • A brand-new equipment shed on a poured concrete slab was constructed at the Merkel Aquatic Center. This will provide a bigger and more secure area for the storage of pool related items both in and out of season. The old shed was able to be moved and refurbished to be utilized for park program storage at Knox Park. • One quarter acre of scrub trees and brush were cleared in Whispering Oaks Park. This provided better visibility for Fort McHenry Playground as well as for the new business, Wingstop, adjacent to the park. • Eight raised planter beds were built by the Parks Maintenance team. The beds were placed at Petersen Farm and will serve as a community garden initiative for the City of McHenry. • The Parks Department also spearheaded many of our downtown initiatives and projects. The most prominent of which last year was the expansion of the decorative street signs, utilizing the Site Link Poles and black surrounds of the street signage. • Another downtown project led by the Parks Department was the paving of the parking lots in the main area of the Green Street lot on the former bank site and on the upper lot, former site of the Justen Funeral home.

Statutes provide authority for an entity to levy a portion of the property tax to pay for the audit. Since the authority to levy a property tax for the audit is separate from the authority to levy the corporate rate, the levy amount for audit is deposited into a separate fund and kept segregated from the General Fund receipts. 187190 1234 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 1920 21 22 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 8,246 4,618 (4,198) 3,474 3,474 596 3010 Property Tax Collections 26,299 26,313 26,275 26,426 26,339 26,426 - 0.00%3210 Interest Income - - 13 - 4 - - #DIV/0!3220 CD Interest 2 1 9 - 5 - - #DIV/0!3970 Charges for Services 13,676 16,145 29,700 22,124 22,124 27,450 5,326 24.07% TOTAL REVENUES 39,977 42,459 55,997 48,550 48,472 53,876 5,326 10.97% 5110 Contractual 43,605 51,275 51,825 50,200 51,350 53,500 3,300 6.57% TOTAL EXPENDITURES 43,605 51,275 48,325 50,200 51,350 53,500 3,300 6.57%NET INCREASE/(DECREASE)(3,628) (8,816) 7,672 (1,650) (2,878) 376 4,618 (4,198) 3,474 1,824 596 972 EXPENDITURES Ending Fund Balance Variance ($) Variance (%) Audit - Fund Summary (Fund 230, Department 00) Beginning Fund Balance REVENUES 188191 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Annual Budget Annexation Fund 189192 Annexation Fund – Overview The Annexation Fund is a non-operating fund that is used to account for receipts from generally non-recurring revenue sources resulting from negotiated annexation agreements.

Motor Fuel Taxes are generated by a flat rate of cents per gallon. In 2021, the State of Illinois increased the monthly Municipal Motor Fuel Tax allotment by approximately 40%, bringing the City’s annual revenue to over $1.1 million. Beginning in FY22/23, the entirety of the Motor Fuel Tax revenue was dedicated to the Local Streets Resurfacing Program. These revenues, combined with the implementation of a Municipal Motor Fuel Sales Tax, dedication of all Township Road and Bridge Fund distributions, and the dedication of Street Division operating capital funds, have created a consistent annual program budget for the Local Streets Resurfacing Program. The Motor Fuel Tax Fund alone is budgeted for almost $1.8 million for the FY24/25 program. 193196 1234 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 2829 30 31 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 1,441,795 2,426,895 3,080,153 2,418,598 2,418,598 1,524,570 3150 MFT Allotments from State 1,034,926 1,128,538 1,139,143 1,152,966 1,167,619 1,183,086 30,120 2.61%3155 Rebuild IL Grant 1,037,679 444,720 296,480 - - - - #DIV/0!3180 Grants - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3210 Interest Income - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3240 IL Fund Interest 2,221 2,025 55,730 60,000 73,358 60,000 - 0.00%3882 Reimbursements - Misc - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3886 Reimbursements - State 70,933 31,211 - 70,706 63,298 57,600 (13,106) -18.54%3975 Transfer from General Fund - - - - - - #DIV/0!3999 Transfer from Other Funds - - - - - - #DIV/0!

The TIF District was recently extended for an additional 12 years and is now scheduled to sunset in 2037. TIF revenues are derived from the collection of property taxes each year at an increment based on the increase in the assessed valuation of properties within the area since creation of the district. Expenditures are related to the repayment of private development “extraordinary costs” per approved development agreements and for public improvements within the district that increase the value of all properties within the area. The TIF Fund is a valuable tool to continue to attract development of key sites that were identified in the initial planning stages of the TIF District, including the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant site and the Central Green Street area. The TIF Fund is also targeted to accomplish the completion of the Riverwalk and the implementation of a streetscape program. 202205 1234 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 2425 26 27 A B O Q R S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Budget Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 280,604 719,415 993,626 993,626 232,000 323,465 279,903 3010 Property Tax Collections 655,428 678,920 720,000 694,137 805,000 848,809 840,000 35,000 4.86%3180 Grants - - 200,000 178,164 200,000 8,947 - (200,000) -100.00%3210 Interest Income 26 121 - 2,621 3,000 3,000 3,000 - #DIV/0!3815 Donations - - - 20,000 450,000 450,000 - (450,000) #DIV/0!3890 Miscellaneous Income 62,860 55,000 355,000 65,388 55,000 55,000 55,000 - 0.00% TOTAL REVENUES 718,314 734,041 1,275,000 960,310 1,513,000 1,365,756 898,000 (615,000) -48.24% 5110 Contractual Services 7,860 9,525 - 108,966 10,000 3,505 10,000 - 0.00%6940 Administrative Expenses 10,237 1,300 50,000 2,396 10,000 4,278 10,000 - 0.00%8900 Public Improvements 37,571 224,170 2,145,000 1,384,839 1,180,000 1,180,000 1,545,586 365,586 30.98%9901 Transfer to General Fund 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,500 - 0.00%9904 Transfer to Debt Service 221,335 222,335 223,235 223,235 219,035 219,035 224,730 5,695 2.60% TOTAL EXPENDITURES 279,503 459,830 2,420,735 1,721,936 1,421,535 1,409,318 1,792,816 371,281 26.12%NET INCREASE/(DECREASE)438,811 274,211 (1,145,735) (761,626) 91,465 (43,562) (894,816) 719,415 993,626 (152,109) 232,000 323,465 279,903 (614,913) EXPENDITURES Ending Fund Balance Variance ($) Variance (%) Tax Increment Finance - Fund Summary (Fund 290, Department 00) Beginning Fund Balance REVENUES 203206 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Annual Budget Capital Projects & Debt Service Funds 204207 Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Annual Budget Debt Service Fund 205208 Debt Service Fund – Overview The Debt Service Fund accounts for the bonded indebtedness incurred by the City’s General Fund, including bond and interest payments. 206209 1234 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2930 31 32 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 4,962 (226) 5,568 7,607 7,607 10,314 3210 Interest Income 10 4 1,106 - 990 - - #DIV/0!3220 CD Interest 49 29 277 - 250 - - #DIV/0!3910 Bond Proceeds - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3915 Bond Interest Rebate 3,688 3,692 - - - - - #DIV/0!3966 Premium on Refunding - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3969 TIF Fund Transfer 221,335 222,335 223,235 219,035 219,035 224,730 5,695 2.60%3971 Transfer from Annexation Fund 35,000 35,000 35,000 35,000 35,000 35,000 - 0.00%3972 Transfer from Recreation Center Fund 130,656 133,956 132,156 130,356 130,356 133,511 3,155 2.42%3975 Transfer from General Fund 182,642 1,850,272 1,850,765 1,853,842 1,853,842 1,851,523 (2,319) -0.13%3978 Transfer from Water/Sewer Fund 110,627 108,763 110,269 111,707 111,707 111,283 (424) -0.38%3986 Transfer from MFT Fund 399,917 - - - - - - #DIV/0!

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. In 2013 and 2014, City Council undertook a process to evaluate the feasibility of various options for recreation facilities, including the 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 Recreation Center opened in February 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 in the Recreation Center Fund to cover any operating shortfalls, to serve as capital improvement funding for facility needs, or seed money for future expansions of recreation facilities. The McHenry Recreation Center was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; closures and restrictions led to a significant reduction in membership. Reserve funds were depleted as a result of reduced revenues. Staff has been engaged in a sustained effort to attract new members, and Recreation Center membership continues to increase. However, the recovery continues, since revenues are still not sufficient to fund day-to-day operations. 209212 Recreation Center Fund – FY23/24 Accomplishments Recreation Center • Group fitness class attendance has maintained a consistent number of class participants per week. Average class numbers per week from May 2022 – April 2023 was around 700 participants. Since May 2023 – mid March 2024 numbers have increased to 720 – 740 participants per week with 70% of classes at full capacity. • Group Fitness attendance from May 2023 – March 2024 – 26,770 visits • Our personal trainers are currently seeing around 35 clients per week, with 4 groups of partner trainings and 2 monthly PT members. • We offer 55 classes per week in categories ranging from HIIT, Strength, Mind/Body, Active Adults, Barre, TRX, Cycle, Kickboxing, Dance, Pilates and Kettlebell. Cardio Boxing was added in the fall of 2023 as a specialized program which runs 8 weeks per session and is a separate paid program to our group fitness schedule. • Our group fitness staff heads up 4 holiday bootcamps per year for our Rec Center members. The 1.5-hour bootcamps are well attended by members and non-members with around 50 people. • The last Friday of every month we host a potluck for our senior group x members which gives them the opportunity to have lunch with their friends and provides a fun social atmosphere after their workout. • The Recreation Center serves as a hub for much more than simply a fitness center. The facility houses many of our classes and workshops. It also is a location that is rented out for any number of occasions to our community. 210213 Recreation Center Fund – FY24/25 Goals & Objectives • Create a collaborative marketing plan for programs, events and facilities; whereby increasing community reach, efficiency, return on investment. • Increase visitation at Recreation Center, thereby increasing revenue. This shall include quarterly free community fitness days. • Research trends, explore community partnerships and evaluate existing programs in an effort to consistently develop new programs and special events. • Enhance Department’s sponsorship program and apply it where applicable at the Recreation Center. 211214 Recreation Center Fund – FY24/25 Performance Measures Item Goal Description FY 24/25 Proposed Outcome(s) Membership Retention To maintain a 60% fitness membership retention rate for the facility. Through outreach to members and continual update of offerings, the goal is to keep members engaged and interested. Membership loss is minimized and client base remains fairly constant. Sponsorship Further develop and apply a sponsorship program to the Recreation Center. In identifying a comprehensive sponsorship program, additional community connections will be created as well introducing additional revenue Fostering community partnerships and adding a revenue stream to the facility Membership Rebuilding Utilization of active marketing campaigns at key times of the year as well as free fitness days to increase the facility’s community exposure. What is the value of a membership? Are we continuing to offer the most current group exercise classes? Are we maintaining a clean facility? Continued rebuilding of membership base dramatically impacted by Covid-19 212215 1234 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 420,052 236,869 99,076 112,125 112,125 100,878 3210 Interest Income 61 - - - - - - #DIV/0!3220 CD Interest 1,137 678 6,411 700 5,000 3,000 2,300 328.57%3240 IL Fund Interest 108 80 2,910 5,000 3,000 3,000 (2,000) -40.00%3632 Concessions - 568 2,996 3,000 3,409 3,500 500 16.67%3641 Babysitting 6,086 12,748 10,505 10,000 13,175 13,000 3,000 30.00%3642 Recreation Center Room Rentals 4,298 13,413 22,800 18,000 12,172 12,000 (6,000) -33.33%3643 Birthday Parties - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3644 Sponsorship/Advertisement 100 100 - 100 - - (100) -100.00%3645 Annual Memberships 287,751 352,774 412,859 420,000 447,116 460,000 40,000 9.52%3646 Short-Term Memberships 4,252 8,469 8,646 10,000 11,625 11,000 1,000 10.00%3647 Daily Admissions 768 1,842 4,318 3,000 2,480 3,000 - 0.00%3648 Punch Passes 5,391 10,626 11,166 10,000 12,412 12,000 2,000 20.00%3649 Recreation Center Misc.

This includes roads and public facility maintenance, improvements and/or construction. Through FY21/22, Capital Improvements Fund Revenues were derived from transfers from other funds - primarily the previous fiscal year-end surplus (revenues/expenditures) of the General Fund which, by policy, is then assigned for future capital asset maintenance and replacement projects. During FY21/22, the City Council adopted a tax on electric (started in June 2022) and natural gas (started in June 2023) utilities. Per City Ordinance adopted by Council, those revenues derived from the electric usage portion of these taxes are to be used to fund the City’s General Fund capital asset and maintenance replacement program for projects identified as part of the Community Investment Plan. In FY24/25, the Capital Improvements Fund will be used to account for any carryover funding from FY23/24 and capital asset maintenance and replacement projects, identified in the Community Investment Plan, will be funded through a newly established “Capital Asset Maintenance & Replacement Fund” section of the budget. This Capital Improvements Fund will then be removed from future budget documents. 220223 1234 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2930 31 32 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 478,286 321,452 1,013,329 251,039 251,039 283,262 3210 Interest Income 1,402 382 663 1,000 31,148 25,000 24,000 2400.00%3220 CD Interest 301 179 1,696 250 2,500 2,000 1,750 700.00%3760 Received from Developers - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3837 Unrealized Gain/Loss - (2,134) 14,071 - - - - #DIV/0!3882 Reimbursements - Miscellaneous 48,772 34,870 39,037 700 - - (700) -100.00%3886 Reimbursements - State - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3971 Transfer from Annexation Fund - - - - - - - #DIV/0!3975 Transfer from General Fund - 696,503 - - - - - #DIV/0!

During FY21/22, the City Council adopted a tax on electric (started in June 2022) and natural gas (started in June 2023) utilities. Per City Ordinance adopted by Council, those revenues derived from the natural gas usage portion of these taxes are to be used to fund any new (as distinct from maintenance and replacement) projects as identified as part of the Community Investment Plan.

In McHenry, all capital asset maintenance, replacement, and expansion costs are funded through the General Fund, except for those projects related to the City’s water and sanitary sewer utilities and those related to the McHenry Recreation Center. Water and sewer maintenance and replacement projects are funded through user base fees; water and sewer expansion projects are funded through utility capacity fees; and, Recreation Center maintenance, replacement and new capital assets are funded through the user fees of the facility. The purpose of this Community Investment Plan (CIP) is to serve as a realistic, strategic blueprint for the capital asset maintenance and replacement and new capital asset projects not related to Water and Sewer utilities or the Recreation Center. Background Prior to 2013/2014, the City of McHenry did not have a comprehensive multi-year capital improvement/equipment planning process. Capital asset maintenance and replacement and capital improvements (defined as those projects with a cost of more than $10,000) were identified and funded annually as part of the municipal budget process. This practice, along with the fact that the recession of 2007/2008 resulted in the deferral of capital asset maintenance and replacement projects for a number of years. The municipality is still impacted by this backlog of these deferred items even today. Beginning in 2013/2014, the City Administration introduced a 5-year Capital Improvement Program planning document. This document, reviewed and updated on an annual basis, became the basis for the City’s capital improvement and equipment planning. While the Capital Improvement Program served the city well, current trends in municipal capital asset maintenance and replacement planning have shifted towards a need for a longer term, and much more strategic, planning tool – commonly referred to as a Community Investment Plan – with a focus on capital asset maintenance and replacement projects, and importantly, the identification of funding sources for these projects. This Community Investment Plan provides a framework for long-range capital investment planning allowing for better resource management and the ability for staff and elected officials to ensure that short term needs are met with an understanding of future demands. This Community Investment Plan includes separate sections that address 1) the maintenance and replacement of existing capital assets and 2) the development of new assets (e.g., the construction of a new public facility), providing a clear distinction between meeting existing needs versus new capital asset projects. 229232 Goals for the Plan During the 2019 City Council Strategic Planning sessions, a goal was set to create a long-term projection of capital costs associated strictly with maintenance and replacement of assets that the city already holds. This need was identified due to the sporadic nature of the capital budgeting process which grouped capital projects in one class regardless of whether the capital expenditure was for the purposes of acquiring a new asset or maintenance and replacement of an existing asset. The logic for the change in the approach was that for the City to develop better control and predictability in its capital planning processes, projections of future capital costs based upon realistic service lives of existing assets were needed. With these objectives in mind, the structure and goals for this Community Investment Plan document are as follows: 1. The “wish list” approach for capital asset maintenance and replacement and the introduction of new capital asset projects is abandoned and replaced with a plan and schedule that is realistic to implement based on available funding. 2. Funding and implementation prioritization is for capital asset maintenance and replacement projects before the implementation of new capital asset projects. 3. Maintenance and replacement of existing capital assets is scheduled and implemented based upon acceptable costs and reasonable service lives. This information is analyzed and updated as part of the annual update of this plan. 4. Capital asset maintenance and replacement project costs are funded by the Electricity Use Tax (ComEd), the revenues of which are dedicated by municipal ordinance for the maintenance and replacement of existing assets only. No new capital assets are funded through this revenue source. 5. New capital assets must be justified and prioritized based on the needs of the community and are deliberately planned and funded through any one or a combination of the following sources – Natural Gas Utility Tax (Nicor), the revenues of which are dedicated by municipal ordinance for the development of new capital assets; General Fund surplus (revenues/expenditures, ensuring the General Fund Balance is achieved and that capital asset maintenance and replacement needs are met; or new sources of revenue. Significant facilities and infrastructure expansion projects should be considered for funding through referendums, bonded debt services, special assessments, etc. Development of the Plan The task of developing this Community Investment Plan was assigned to the city staff and all department heads continue to coordinate to prioritize projects and develop cost projections. 230233 Capital expenditures are classified by department, expenditure, and type of treatment. Costs are also assigned projected year for implementation which is then used to develop a long-term projection and implementation schedule. The method of developing these costs included the following assumptions: 1) small items (under $10,000) which are sporadically replaced through operating budgets are not included in the projection; 2) only existing capital assets are included in the projection; 3) maintenance treatments to fulfill the full asset service life and asset replacement costs were included; and, 4) each treatment or asset replacement was to include a cost and associated service life. Annualized costs were simply generated by dividing the capital cost over the projected service life; inflation was not included in the projection and therefore, all costs are present costs. The sum of annualized costs was then utilized to develop funding and implementation strategies for the plan. Alternatively, new capital asset projects are identified separately in this document, with justification for need and estimated development costs. These projects should only be considered based on the availability of funding through the Natural Gas Utility Tax, if there is sufficient General Fund surplus, and/or if other revenues sources have been identified. More on project funding below. Funding the Plan Traditionally, McHenry’s General Fund capital asset maintenance and replacement needs have been funded through excess General Fund revenues over expenditures after the achievement of a balanced operating budget and ensuring the existence of sufficient funds for the maintenance of the required (by policy) 120-day minimum General Fund balance. While conservative budgeting practices has resulted in the ability to address some of the City’s capital needs, funding levels can be unreliable from year-to-year, resulting in the inability to appropriately budget, plan, and implement a regularly scheduled capital maintenance and replacement plan or to strategically plan for the development of new capital assets. In February 2022, the City Council took a significant step in ensuring annual funding for General Fund capital asset maintenance and replacement projects included in this Community Investment Plan by adopting a new Electricity Utility Tax (ComEd). Annual revenues of this tax were estimated at $1.1 million. Importantly, in analyzing identified General Fund capital asset maintenance and replacement needs through 2043, the City Administration has determined that the annualized cost of capital maintenance and replacement projects is approximately $1.6 million, which means that the maintenance and replacement projects, as identified, will require additional funding support from the General Fund and/or that projects require additional prioritizing for implementation. A listing of capital asset maintenance and replacement projects are identified in Appendix C. Also in February 2022, the City Council adopted a Natural Gas Utility Tax (Nicor) with estimated annual revenues estimated at $760,000. By ordinance, Council dedicated these revenues for the development of any new capital asset projects. Council also made the decision to defer the 231234 implementation of the Natural Gas Utility Tax until June 2023 and, as such, FY24/25 will be the first year that revenues from the Natural Gas Utility Tax will be available for new capital asset projects. Organization of the Plan The Community Investment Plan (CIP) is organized and presented to clearly distinguish Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Projects from New Capital Asset Projects. Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Projects Capital asset maintenance and replacement projects included in the Community Investment Plan are those projects estimated to cost at least $10,000 and have a useful life of greater than one year. Projects are presented in two formats: 1) individually, via a brief project description that identifies the proposed project maintenance needs and/or replacement timeframe and estimated cost(s) (Appendix B); and 2) collectively, via a summary spreadsheet that identifies projects by classification (see below) and maintenance/replacement schedule within the 20- year span of this plan (Appendix C). The summary spreadsheet also serves as a master database used to perform simple analysis, summarization, categorization, and projection exercises for all the City’s assets. From these exercises, several charts have been generated to illustrate the data. These charts include a breakdown of expenditures by year, a summary of expenditures by asset category, and expenditures by department. These charts are included as Appendix A. Capital asset maintenance and replacement projects are classified into one of the following categories for reference purposes: Infrastructure Maintenance/Improvements Improvements to publicly owned infrastructure such as multi-use paths, crack sealing, culvert rehabilitation and replacement, bridge rehabilitation and replacement, street lighting replacement, signal equipment replacement, curb replacement, sidewalk replacement, and corrugated steel culvert replacement. Note that local streets are funded with Motor Fuel Tax Funds and, as such, are not included in this category. Parks and Land Maintenance/Improvements Improvements to publicly owned properties outside of a building footprint and for projects that are not eligible for funding through other municipal funds. Examples include parking lots, playground equipment replacement, ball courts, gazebos and other accessory structures, and fences. Building Maintenance/Improvements Improvements to the exterior or interior of publicly owned facilities that are not eligible for funding through other municipal funds (i.e., McHenry Recreation Center, water or sewer 232235 conveyance/treatment facilities). The primary example in this category is the maintenance and replacement needs of the McHenry Municipal Center. Vehicles and Equipment Replacements Maintenance or replacement of municipal vehicles and equipment not eligible for funding through other municipal funds (i.e., Water/Sewer Fund for Water and Sewer vehicles). This category includes road vehicles as well as other motorized equipment such as backhoes, end- loaders, etc. Additionally, this includes all equipment which is routinely replaced by the Police Department. This equipment includes radar, radios, helmets, shields, body cameras, etc. and annually averages approximately $155,000. New Capital Asset Projects New capital asset projects included in the Community Investment Plan are estimated to cost at least $10,000 and have a useful life of greater than one year. New capital asset projects and estimated costs are identified within the narrative of this document, just before Appendix A. This includes a brief project description with estimated cost. Detailed information regarding the justification, development, implementation, and funding of new capital asset projects would be required as part of the budgeting process. New capital asset project categories are defined below. Facilities and Infrastructure Projects related to the expansion of existing public facilities beyond existing building footprints or the development of new infrastructure projects beyond existing limits. This could include, but is not limited to municipal buildings, public parking lots, multi-use paths, culverts, street lighting and other streetscape amenities, signalization, curbs, sidewalks, and corrugated steel culverts. Parks and Land Projects related to the expansion and/or acquisition of additional property for public use such as parking lots, playgrounds, ball courts, open park space, etc. and for which other public funding is not available. Vehicles and Equipment Projects related to the addition of vehicles and/or equipment to the municipal fleet. Implementation of the Plan Because it was uncertain when the Electricity Utility Tax revenues would be available after the passing of the ordinance in February of 2022, the Fiscal Year 22/23 Capital Improvement Program was funded through the traditional means of General Fund balances that were left after meeting operating budgets and minimum fund balances. The Capital Improvement Program also included projects both for the development of new assets as well as maintenance 233236 and replacement of existing assets, all of which were funded through the same source (General Fund Balances available for capital). As the original capital projection was “front-loaded” with maintenance and replacement projects that were considered immediately necessary, staff began preparations for the implementation of this Community Investment Plan by updating the schedule and beginning to shift projects to better match revenues to expenditures in the early years of the plan. With deferred implementation based on the availability of funding, Electricity Utility Tax revenues in the amount of $1.8 million (representing 18 months of collection) were able to be implemented in the FY23/24 Budget. Because the Natural Gas Utility Tax did not take effect until June 2023, no new capital asset projects were planned to utilize this funding in FY23/24. While Natural Gas Utility Tax revenues are now being generated, it is still too early to appropriately estimate funding for the FY24/25 Budget. At this time, proposed projects will be identified with any projects recommended for funding as part of the FY24/25 Budget development process in March/April 2024. Annual Review and Approval Process The Community Investment Plan will be reviewed and updated annually to ensure that maintenance and replacement schedules are updated appropriately and that new capital asset projects are appropriately justified and planned. Identified projects will be included for approval as part of each fiscal year budget based on the maintenance and replacement schedules or defined new projects identified in this document. Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Projects The tables below identify the expenditure status, as of the development of this document, of capital asset maintenance and replacement projects included in the FY23/24 Budget (or added as amendments to the budget) and those projects identified to be included in the FY24/25 Budget. Again, it is important to remember that projects identified for implementation are based on the maintenance and replacement schedule provided in Appendix C. Capital asset maintenance and replacement projects completed or substantially completed in FY23/24 include: Project Budgeted Amount Actual/Projected Amounts* City Hall Parking Lot Rehabilitation $550,000 $435,000 City Hall Front Entrance and Doors $100,000 $100,000 Jaycees Park Gazebo Roof Replacement $5,000 $5,000 234237 Knox Park Maintenance Sheds Replacement $20,000 $20,000 Miller Riverfront Gazebo Roof Replacement $5,000 $5,000 Petersen Park Horse Barn Roof Replacement $350,000 $330,000 Freund Field Basketball Court Lighting** $50,000 $50,000 Ballistic Helmet Replacement $40,000 $40,000 Patrol SUV Vehicle Replacement (310) $64,000 $57,000 Patrol SUV Vehicle Replacement (311) $64,000 $57,000 Patrol Utility Vehicle Replacement (325) $59,000 $53,000 Patrol Utility Vehicle Replacement (317) $59,000 $53,000 Patrol Utility Vehicle Replacement (327) $59,000 $53,000 Patrol Utility Vehicle Replacement (326) $59,000 $53,000 Pearl Street Bridge Deck Oil $25,000 $25,000 South Main Street Parking Lot Design*** $0 $60,400 Wing Truck $305,000 $305,000 1-Ton Dump (Snowplow) $115,000 $135,000 1-Ton Pickup (Concrete) $75,000 $82,200 Body Cameras**** $85,000 $0 TOTALS $2,089,000 $1,918,600 *Note that the final costs for some of the identified projects may increase or decrease as they are completed. **Costs reallocated for the paving of the former Justen Funeral Home site and Green Street parking lots. ***This project was added during FY23/24 for Design Costs. Construction to occur in FY24/25. ****Project deferred for implementation to FY24/25. Based on Electricity Utility Tax revenues from FY22/23 and FY23/24, it is anticipated that the amount of funding available for the FY24/25 Capital Asset Maintenance and Replacement Program will be $1,100,000. Unfortunately, due to capital asset maintenance and replacement projects being deferred in previous years, capital asset maintenance and replacement needs are greater than anticipated resources. The nineteen (19) projects identified in the following table are estimated at $1,710,000 and are listed in terms of priority – with Green being the highest priorities and Orange being lower immediate needs. The highlighted higher priority projects (those in Green) total $1,255,000. Identified needs greater than available Electricity Utility Tax revenues will be funded with any unused funds from FY23/24 or FY23/24 General Fund surplus (Revenues/Expenditures). Further, capital asset maintenance and replacement needs will be a priority over the funding of any new capital projects with surplus funds.

Capital Asset New Projects As identified previously in this document, the Electricity Utility Tax (ComEd) portion of the Municipal Utility Taxes is assigned for maintenance and replacement projects only, with revenues generated by the Natural Gas Utility Tax (NICOR) being assigned for Capital Asset New Projects. These projects are those facility, infrastructure, parks, land, vehicles and/or equipment projects that are not identified as maintenance or replacement projects in nature. While these additional expansion projects may be deemed important in nature, they will only be able to be implemented at such time as 1) there is sufficient funding is generated by the Natural Gas Utility Tax; 2) there is sufficient available General Fund surplus (revenues/expenditures) and capital maintenance and replacement projects have been funded; and/or, 3) alternate funding sources (municipal or non-municipal) are identified. This list continues to evolve, and new project ideas may be forwarded at any time for inclusion on this list. Projects are not listed in any order of priority and are only included in the Community Investment Plan so that they are appropriately identified. Identification of available funding and ability to implement any of the following projects will not be known until the development of FY24/25 Budget. 236239 Venice Avenue $600,000 This project includes the reconstruction of Venice Avenue and Court Street south of Illinois Route 120. This will include the addition of concrete curb and gutter as well as the addition of a pedestrian walkway to facilitate pedestrian movement from the Green Street Downtown Corridor to the Miller Point and Riverside Drive Corridor. The project is currently in design and will be funded for construction upon the assignment of a revenue source for construction funding. Fueling Station $400,000 This project will include the construction of a new City fueling station on the property at the Public Works Department located at 1415 Industrial Drive. The facility will include above ground gas and diesel tanks, an overhead canopy, necessary utility work, and fuel use tracking software. The proposed facility is currently in design and permitting and will be constructed upon the assignment of a funding source for this new facility project. Police Buildout $800,000 This project will include the expansion and modification of the sallyport in the Police Department portion of the building and the construction of a covered parking area on the north side of the building in the current Police Department parking area. Riverside Sidewalk $150,000 This project includes the necessary design and construction costs to complete missing gaps in the sidewalk along Riverside Drive between Pearl Street and McCullom Lake Road. Necessary work will include grading and drainage work as well as the construction of new base course and sidewalk on the west side of Riverside Drive. Annual Sidewalk Replacement Program $300,000 The scope of this project includes the replacement of existing sidewalks throughout the city based on identified need, much the same as the city’s local road program. Streetscape Improvements In 2021 the City of McHenry commissioned an engineering and planning study to create a Downtown Streetscape Master Plan to be implemented over a multi-year period. The Study was finalized and adopted in December of 2021. Because of the large capital costs, which are not currently all accounted for, the project locations were prioritized, and preliminary engineering was initiated in 2022 on the highest-ranking location (Riverside Drive). Locations will be implemented and constructed in the future upon assignment of capital funding sources. A brief listing and order of magnitude cost of each corridor included in the Master Plan is as follows: 1. Riverside Streetscape $3,000,000 2. Green Street Streetscape $3,000,000 3. Main Street Streetscape $3,000,000 4. Elm Street Streetscape $3,000,000 237240 5. Miscellaneous Streetscape Improvements $1,500,000 Riverwalk Expansion (Phase 4) $1,750,000 This project includes the construction of Riverwalk segment from Pearl Street to Elm Street. The city has been coordinating with private property owners and Commonwealth Edison for the burial of power poles which will occur in FY23/24 however, the most significant portion of this project includes the development of the Riverwalk pathway itself. Completion of this segment will establish a continuous route from Weber’s Park to Green Street along the Fox River and Boone Creek. Route 31 Local Matches (Non-Water-Sewer) $1,000,000 Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is currently in Phase II Design for the reconstruction of Illinois Route 31 between the City of Crystal Lake and the City of McHenry. Construction is currently anticipated no earlier than 2025. In addition to the roadway costs which are strictly IDOT costs there are several costs for optional local improvements which have been outlined in a previously executed Letter of Intent (LOI) between the City of McHenry and IDOT. These costs include the City’s local funding obligations for optional decorative street lighting, the local match for the construction of a multi-use path, and the local match for the municipal legs of signalized intersections. 238241 Appendix A This appendix includes a 10-year summary chart comparing estimated Electricity Utility Tax revenues and capital asset maintenance and replacement projects. 239242 FY22/23 Actual FY23/24 Estimated & Available FY24/25 Estimated FY25/26 Estimated FY26/27 Estimated FY27/28 Estimated FY28/29 Estimated FY29/30 Estimated FY30/31 Estimated FY31/32 Estimated FY32/33 Estimated Electricity Utility Tax Revenue $1,043,524 $1,908,524 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 $1,100,000 Maint & Replacement Costs $175,000 $1,918,600 $1,710,000 $1,673,000 $843,000 $2,781,000 $2,879,000 $569,000 $2,072,000 $1,249,000 $2,630,000 $- $500,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 $2,500,000 $3,000,000 $3,500,000 City of McHenry Community Investment Plan 10-Year Estimated Revenues vs. Maintenance & Replacement Costs 240243 Appendix B Included in this appendix is an individual project sheet for each capital item that is being funded in Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

During FY21/22 the City Council adopted a tax on natural gas utilities and, per City Ordinance, those revenues derived from this tax are to be used for the sole purpose of funding the Capital Asset New Projects Fund. Since the implementation of the natural gas tax was deferred until June 2023, projects will not be identified for funding as part of the Community Investment Plan until such time as the city realizes a full fiscal year of revenues. As such, no new capital asset projects are identified for funding through this source for FY24/25. 258261 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 A B C E G H I J K L Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed - - - - - 272,020 3210 Interest Income - - - - 162 200 200 #DIV/0! 3146 Gas Use Tax - - - - 271,858 285,000 285,000 #DIV/0!

These fund the operations of the Water, Wastewater and Utility Divisions in 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 Division was established in FY15/16, combining existing Water and Wastewater Division Maintenance Workers to specifically address utility system maintenance needs more routinely. Prior to this, utility maintenance projects were addressed by either the Water Division or Wastewater Division and often required coordination with the other division to ensure adequate manpower. The creation of the Utility Division established more effective means to deliver utility maintenance projects. The Utility Division has now been combined with the Street Division into the Street/Utility Division. The operating expenses for all Utilities maintenance are still accounted for separately and are reflected in the Utility Division section of the Enterprise Fund Budget. The expenses for the Utility Division are split between the Water and Wastewater Divisions as follows - approximately 63.7% of operating expenses are paid from the Water Division and the remaining 36.3% 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 sufficient 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. The City reviews and adjusts water and sewer rates annually based on operational costs and implements 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. 262265 Public Works Water Division - Overview Public Works Water Division Mission The primary focus and overlying responsibility of the Water Division is to provide a safe and reliable supply of potable water. This is accomplished by producing water from a system of wells, treating water, and conducting over 500 required water samples, thereby meeting or exceeding all federal and state health standards. Of major importance to the Water Division employees is providing the consumer with the highest level of customer service possible. We believe this inspires public trust within the community.

The function of the Wastewater Division is to operate and maintain the Wastewater Treatment Plant and twenty lift stations. The goal of the Wastewater Division is to efficiently maintain these facilities and to produce treated effluent which either meets or exceeds State and Federal standards. The division is also responsible for the removal and disposal of all by-products generated by the treatment process. This is accomplished through daily testing and monitoring of the treatment process and by operating sludge de-watering equipment to produce a high-quality biosolids product. In summary, Wastewater Division employees undertake the following tasks: • Provide for the operation and maintenance of the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant as well as the care and upkeep of twenty lift stations. • Conduct daily testing and monitoring to ensure the treatment processes are working properly and efficiently and make any necessary changes to operations. • Dispose of all treatment process by-products in a safe and cost-effective manner. • Maintain records on the amount of wastewater treated and the quality of water discharged into the Fox River and report this information to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency in compliance with NPDES permits.

Quickly responding to and resolving these events prevents adverse incidents such as overflows, backups, or bypasses from occurring. • The City of McHenry’s current NPDES discharge permit went into effect on July 1st, 2021. Included in this permit was a future discharge limit of 0.50 mg/L for Total Phosphorous. The new limit takes effect in 2030. Wastewater Division personnel began implementing process changes in 2023 to further reduce Phosphorous concentrations in treated effluent. In 2023, the average Total Phosphorous in the treated effluent was 0.43 mg/L. • The Wastewater Division added another licensed operator to its roster. Adam Cashmore (IEPA Class 3) was hired in June to fill a vacant position. • In 2023, the Wastewater Division continued its partnership with Dahm Enterprises, Inc. to land-apply the Class A, Exceptional Quality (EQ) biosolids produced at the facility. This has allowed the Division to put its dried biosolids to beneficial use while simultaneously reducing disposal costs. 270273 Public Works Wastewater Division – FY24/25 Goals & Objectives • Continue to meet or exceed the NPDES permit requirements and regulations as set forth by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. • Operate treatment plants and lift stations in a manner which minimizes the potential for a sanitary sewer overflow. • Continue to analyze ways to maintain a high level of service and performance while minimizing operating costs. • Optimize the Phosphorous removal process to achieve a twelve-month average discharge concentration below 0.40 mg/L. Building on the progress that has already been made, staff will continue to monitor the treatment process and identify ways to further optimize the treatment process to meet this goal. • Promote individual advancement and certification through training opportunities for operations and maintenance personnel in the Wastewater division. • Oversee the rebuild of the main drives on all four secondary clarifiers while minimizing disruptions of the treatment process. • Complete Freund Lift Station mechanical improvements. • Provide for the replacement of two failed air conditioning systems at the treatment plant which protect sensitive electrical components from overheating.

Under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules and regulations, employees can set aside money for certain medical benefits on a pre-tax basis. These benefits include medical expenses not covered under the employee’s health insurance plan. When allowable medical costs are paid by the employee, the employee can be reimbursed from their flexible spending account. Depending on the tax bracket of the employee and the extent of utilization, an employee could potentially save several hundred dollars through medical and dependent care flexible spending deductions. 308311 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 14,647 9,363 13,332 16,062 16,062 18,698 3831 Employee Contributions 41,434 41,234 45,524 45,000 48,148 45,000 - 0.00% 3882 Reimbursement - Miscellaneous 48 147 731 - - - - #DIV/0!

The loan proceeds can be used to assist in the startup of a new business, expand an existing business, update existing facilities to make the business more competitive, or provide an incentive for established businesses to relocate to the City. The primary goal of the program is job creation and expansion of the sales and property tax bases. The program requires loan applicants to complete a formal application that is then reviewed by City staff and the City Council. Terms are identified/negotiated, and a recommendation is provided to the full City Council for consideration. Of note, the Revolving Loan Fund itself does not have expenditures, as the loans are originated through the City’s identified lender. Revenues are comprised of interest on the loans and interest income on available cash. 317320 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 277,748 301,017 301,385 302,408 302,408 303,388 3210 Interest Earnings 11 32 961 1,000 980 1,000 - 0.00% 3210 Loan Interest 758 336 62 230 - - (230) -100.00% 3975 Transfer General Fund 22,500 - - - - - - #DIV/0!

The primary purpose of this non-operating budgetary unit is to finance pensions for employees thorough employer and employee contributions combined with interest earnings on those contributions. These three revenue streams, if based on sound actuarial assumptions, should generate sufficient funds for employee retirement without placing undue burden on the employer or a risk to the pension due the employee. The City’s pension plan is a defined benefit plan, meaning that regardless of investment performance, the plan is obligated to pay the defined benefit. The Police Pension plan is administered by a board of trustees. The duties of the board are to control and manage the pension fund, to enforce the collection of contributions, to hear and determine applications for pensions, to authorize payment of pensions. Financial planning and investment management are now provided by the Illinois Police Officers’ Pension Investment Fund (IPOPIF) staff and vendors. All investable assets of the Police Pension fund were transferred to IPOPIF, per the Illinois Pension Consolidation Act of 2019, in September of 2022. This act was created to allow for the pooling of assets into one larger investment fund to reduce costs through better negotiating power, access to investments that were closed to smaller local funds, and access to best-in-class investment managers at competitive pricing. 320323 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 A B O Q S T U V W X Account Account FY20/21 FY21/22 FY22/23 FY23/24 FY23/24 FY24/25 Number Description Actual Actual Actual Budget Estimated Proposed 27,655,974 61,710,978 56,638,040 55,718,518 55,718,518 59,692,236 3210 Interest Earnings 1,199,824 3,503,502 1,326,285 1,700,000 377,985 400,000 (1,300,000) -76.47% 3830 Employer Contributions 25,650,315 655,318 621,970 671,455 669,181 703,262 31,807 4.74% 3831 Employee Contributions 904,347 494,892 491,717 490,000 520,482 525,000 35,000 7.14% 3836 Gain/Loss on Sale (94,810) (824,298) (5,542,682) - 98,213 - - #DIV/0! 3837 Unrealized Gain/Loss 8,457,610 (6,303,419) 4,572,665 - 4,729,008 - - #DIV/0! 3839 Budget Stabilization Revenue 500,000 - - - - - - #DIV/0! 3882 Miscellaneous Reimbursement - 493 16,531 - - - - #DIV/0!

Operating Budget and Expense Policies 1. The City shall annually adopt a balanced budget where operating revenues are equal to, or exceed, operating expenditures in each fund. 2. Beginning fund balance should only be appropriated to the extent it supports non-recurring expenditures, replaces temporary declines in revenue, or is reasonably anticipated to be offset by an increase in revenue. 3. As part of the annual budget review process, the City will project General Fund revenues and expenditures for four years beyond the budget year and compare the projected balances to the fund balance policy. This will allow the City to identify potential problems early enough to correct them. 4. The City Council shall be provided monthly actual revenues and expenditures for all funds. Any departments or divisions projected to exceed their annual spending authority for the year shall work with the City Administrator to reduce expenses. This may include a deferral of hiring and major expenses for goods and services. Revenue Policies 1. The City shall maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to the extent provided by law to insulate it from short-term fluctuations in any one revenue source. 2. The City will not budget one-time revenue sources to fund annual operating expenditures. Such revenues will fund non-recurring activities, such as capital projects and major capital equipment purchases. 3. Grant revenues shall be pursued to provide or enhance City services. However, recurring activities shall be initiated with grant funds only if the activity can be terminated in the event grant funds are discontinued or the activity should and can be funded within recurring City revenues. 4. All non-enterprise user fees and charges will be examined annually to determine the direct and indirect cost of service recovery rate. The acceptable recovery rate and any associated changes to user fees and charges will be approved by the City Council. 5. The City will set fees and user charges for the Water and Sewer funds at a level that fully supports the total direct and indirect costs of the activity. Indirect costs include the replacement of the capital assets of the fund. 323326 Debt Management Policies 1. The City limits long-term debt to only those capital improvements that cannot be financed from current revenues and have an estimated useful life of at least ten years. 2. For General Obligation Debt, the City will maintain a debt to assessed valuation ratio that is 25% more stringent than the state debt limit. 324327 Fund Balance and Reserve Policy Overview • The purpose of this policy is to establish the principles and parameters to which a Fund Balance target will be defined at the beginning of each budget period. This policy is established to provide financial stability, cash flow for operations, and the assurance that the City will be able to respond to emergencies with fiscal strength. • In the event that unexpected situations may cause the City to fall below the minimum fund balance level, certain steps will be followed to correct the deficiency, as outlined in the section below titled “Fund Balance Parameters.” Definitions • Fund Balance – The difference between assets and liabilities in a Governmental Fund. • Net Position – The amount remaining after subtracting total liabilities from total assets for Proprietary Funds. • Operating Expenditures – Total expenditures minus capital and debt service. • Governmental Funds – Are used to account for all or most of the City’s general activities, including the collection and disbursement of restricted or committed monies (special revenue funds), the funds restricted, committed or assigned for the acquisition or construction of major capital assets (capital projects fund), and the funds restricted, committed or assigned for the servicing of general long-term debt (debt service funds). The general fund is used to account for all activities of the general government not accounted for in some other fund. o General Fund – Accounts for all activities of the City not accounted for in another fund. The General Corporate Fund is used to account for most of the day-to-day operations of the City, which are financed from tax revenues and other general revenues. Nine (9) separate activities are accounted for within the General Fund including: Administration, Elected Officials, Community & Economic Development, Finance Department, Police Commission, Police Department, Public Works-Administration, Public Works-Streets, and Parks and Recreation. o Special Revenue Funds – These funds are utilized to account for revenues derived from specific sources which are usually required by law or regulation to be accounted for as separate funds.

Multiple fund balance classifications include: Non-Spendable, Restricted, and Unrestricted, with unrestricted being further broken down into: Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. 328331 • 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)  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  A drawdown of the fund balance would be classified within this category  Unassigned – Remainder of the General Fund’s fund balance that is not 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. 329332  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). Fund Balance Parameters (By Fund) • It is the City’s philosophy to support long-term financial strategies, where fiscal sustainability is its 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 creditworthiness. • 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. 330333 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. o Tourism Fund – No target is established for this fund.

The Community Investment Program (CIP) plan shall identify projects, their costs and the revenue sources and amounts needed to finance them. 2. The first year of the CIP program effectively becomes the capital projects budget within the operating budget for the year subject to the availability of adequate funds in the operating budget. Approval of the CIP does not guarantee that funds will be appropriated for the projects included in the first year of the CIP. 3. For General Obligation Debt, the City will maintain a debt to assessed value ratio that is 25% more stringent than the state debt limit (State limit is 8.625% of EAV; proposed limit would reduce to this ceiling to approximately 6.5% of EAV or $25.5 million outstanding). 4. Bonds issued to finance capital projects shall be structured to coincide as closely as feasibly possible to the useful life of the project. By equitably distributing the costs of the project over time, those citizens benefiting from the project will share in the cost. In no instance shall the maturity exceed the useful life of the project. 5. The City will not use long-term debt for current operations. 6. Where feasible, the City shall investigate the use of all sources of revenue available before using local property tax funds for capital projects. 7. Where feasible, the City will pursue project financing mechanisms - such as special service areas, special assessments or other mechanisms - that target citizens receiving a disproportionate share of the project benefit. 334337 Investment Policy I. Policy It is the policy of the City of McHenry to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds. II. Scope This policy includes all funds governed by the Mayor and Council (“City Council”). III. General Objectives The primary objectives, in priority order, of investment activities shall be safety, liquidity, and yield: A. Safety. Safety of principal 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 risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, by: (a) Limiting investments to the safest types of securities. (b) Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, brokers/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers with which the City will do business. (c) Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized. 2. Interest Rate Risk. The City will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in 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 may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet 335338 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. 336339 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 of operation). These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule). All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified for investment transactions must supply the following as appropriate: A. Audited financial statements. B. Proof of National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) certification. C. Proof of state registration. D. Completed broker/dealer questionnaire. E. Certification of having read and understood and agreeing to comply with the City’s investment policy.

Suitable and Authorized Investments The City may invest in any investment allowed for in the Illinois statutes regarding investment of public funds including but not limited to the following: A. U.S. government obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, and U.S. government instrumentality obligations, which have a liquid market with a readily determinable market value. 337340 B.

Repurchase agreements only if the underlying purchased securities consist of government securities which are subject to the Government Securities Act of 1986 or as authorized in 30 ILCS 235/2(h)(1)-(11). F. Money market mutual funds regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and whose portfolios consist only of dollar-denominated securities. G. Local government investment pools, either state-administered or through joint powers statutes and other intergovernmental agreement legislation. IX.

X. Safekeeping and Custody All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City, shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. Securities will be held by an independent third-party custodian designated by the Investment Officer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts and a written custodial agreement. XI. Diversification The investments shall be diversified by: A. Limiting investments to avoid over concentration in securities from a specific issuer or business sector (excluding U.S. Treasury securities). B. Limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks. C. Investing in securities with varying maturities. D. Continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as local government investment pools (LGIPs), money market funds or overnight 338341 repurchase agreements to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained in order to meet ongoing obligations. XII. Maximum Maturities To the extent possible, the City shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than two years from the date of purchase or in accordance with state and local statutes and ordinances. Reserve funds may be invested in securities exceeding two years if maturity of such investments is made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the expected use of the funds. The intent to invest in securities with longer maturities shall be disclosed to the corporate authorities. XIII. Internal Controls The Investment Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Accordingly, the Investment Officer shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal controls shall address the following points: A. Control of collusion. B. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping. C. Custodial safekeeping. D. Avoidance of physical delivery securities. E. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members. F. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers. G.

A series of appropriate benchmarks shall be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular basis. XV. Reporting The Investment Officer, or his designee, shall prepare an investment report at least quarterly, including a management summary that provides an analysis of the status of the current investment portfolio and transactions made over the last quarter. This management summary will be prepared in a manner which will allow the City to ascertain whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the investment policy.

Conceptual Presentation – 7 Brew Coffee (Director Polerecky) Chris George was representing the 7 Brew Coffee drive-through-only concept along with David Henney owner of the former Midwest Bank and Gas Station NE corner of Richmond and Elm Street was also speaking to The Council as well. Aerial photos were shared regarding the property, and existing photos from each street view were available to allow The Council to see the proposed property for the concept and the parking objectives. The proposed overall site plan was presented to The Council including the through traffic and the proposed 7-Brew layout concept. Chris George explained the concept of 7-Brew, which is a drive-through-only plan, founded in AK over 200 locations nationwide and one of the fastest growing currently. There are double drive-through lanes which allows for quick service, team members are in the lanes with iPads taking orders from customers. Some of the prototype elevations were shared throughout the presentation deck as well. Also, note that there are no food products provided here. Alderman Santi wanted to know how many staff members are working during the day and Chirs explained there are 6-8 during peak times. Alderman McClatchey wanted to know how people will go East on Route 120, different options will be looked at. Alderman Strach wanted to know what the staff capacity is, per Chris 18-20 employees. Conceptionally wanted to know about the two lanes with the staff members taking the orders and where they pick up the product, it was shown to The Council through the deck pictures that were being projected, that they are hand-delivered drinks. Alderman Glab wanted to know where the employees would park, off-site would be where they would park, there is language in the lease that would protect the employees' parking spaces. It was explained how the lease would work with 7-Brews and the Bank owner. Stated that he is not happy with the heavy traffic pattern there in the mornings concerned about it, also touched upon the redevelopment topic as well. Alderwoman Bassi wanted to know the hours of operations 5-10 pm 7 days a week as confirmed by Chris. She is concerned about the traffic flow, including how much worse it is on Saturdays. Would also like to see what IDOT says, at this point not that comfortable with the ideas. Alderwoman Miller stated that she loves the secret menu, and wanted to know how long it takes from order to delivery, it was confirmed 3 minutes or less, per Chris with 7-Brews. Wanted to know if other locations have been in similar patterns to our traffic, Chris confirmed 399 City of McHenry Council Meeting Minutes 4.124 4 that yes and they have been successful. She is not as concerned about the redevelopment and is willing to give this idea a try. Alderman Santi wanted to know if IDOT has been in discussion with them, it was confirmed that they are in talks with them and would like to have the data to continue with the next steps. The next step would be planning and zoning, it would not come back to the council after we agree to move forward, per Director Polerecky. Alderman McClatchey has some concerns about the intersection there being so busy. He is interested in seeing what IDOT states about it. Adding the extra traffic is his main concern. Chief Birk agrees it is one of the busiest intersections, the double lanes stacking cars allows for a lot of cars but doesn’t have that big of a concern with this concept. Alderman Strach likes the concept and is interested in IDOT and their perspective. Touching on the right in right out that could help with the stacking and traffic abilities. Alderman Koch said it sounds good to him. This conversation went on for some time many council members wanted to hear the results of IDOT. C. Conceptual Presentation – Drive-Thru Restaurant, Gas Station, and Video Gaming - NW Corner of IL-31 and Bull Valley Road (Director Polerekcy) Cody from Fortune LLC spoke to The Council and proposed a fuel station with a C store with a drive-through restaurant as well. Cody also owns another location in southern IL as well. It was noted by the petitioner that this is a quick in-and-out fuel station. Alderman McClatchey is excited that something is going to happen over there, it’s a good location wishes them good luck. Alderman Strach wanted to know if they were traditional pumps or high-speed speed and stated that they would be high-speed. Alderman Glab wanted to know if more left turns are being created, that is confirmed. Wants to see developments on that corner but not sure he wants to see a gas station there, has reservations regarding the north-end roadway. Alderman Strach likes the concept and stated that it makes sense it is an odd size piece that is what we need on that side of town as well. Alderwoman Miller likes the concept as well as appropriate for that corner, good use, and additional access for future development of our lots as well. 400 City of McHenry Council Meeting Minutes 4.124 5 Alderman Santi likes the concept and hopes it can be a stepping stone to others on the corner. Alderwoman Bassi likes that there is no heavy traffic, the less traffic the better she will be because she does live that way. She thinks she is comfortable with this. Alderman Koch said that this sounds good to him and he likes it, wanted to know if we had to wait for the state, yes we do need to wait. Per Mayor Jett, the majority of support from The Council stated that if the petitioner needs our help let him know. D. FY24/25 Budget Presentation (City Administrator Ostrovsky) Administrator Ostrovsky explained there is one revision that needs to be updated since the last time she presented to The Council, otherwise, there are no other changes that need to be made. Special Revenue Funds were covered: Tourism Fund, Pageant Fund and Band Fund, Civil Defense Fund, Alarm Board Fund, Audit Fund, Annexation Fund, MFT and Local Motor Fund, Developer Donations Fund, and Tax Increment Financing Fund. Developer Donations and Tax Increment Financing Capital Projects were also outlined. Also outlined for The Council the Debt Service Fund, Capital Project Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Enterprise Funds were touched upon as well. Fiduciary Funds were identified as the final slide during the deck presentation. Individual Action Item Agenda A. Façade Grant Program Motion to amend the Façade Grant Program as presented (Director Martin) Last year 9 grants were approved, and the amendments that were talked about were brought forth to The Council. Alderwoman Bassi stated happy to see the changes, last year 9 businesses received grants how many more will be allowed this budget year, per Director Martin it is hard to say a list has been kept for those calling asking for a packet and right now there are 7 people on that list, hoping for 5-6 more. The maximum one applicant could receive is $15,000, confirmed by Director Martin. 401 City of McHenry Council Meeting Minutes 4.124 6 Alderman Strach talked about a building owner and business owner applying for both did we make revisions regarding this situation; Director Martin explained the TIF vs. Façade Grant that the business acquired. Alderman Strach wanted to make sure that they were not allowed to double up on it. There have not been any other changes made to the program preventing it. Mayor Jett asked if it could be modified to make sure that only one grant would be provided. *Clerks Note: This Individual Action Item motion amends that the business owner and property owner can only receive one grant.

AGENDA ITEM DATE: April 15, 2024 TO: City Council FROM: Deputy Clerk Monte Johnson RE: Patina McHenry LLC AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Patina McHenry LLC has applied for a Class C liquor license. Patina Wine Shop is one of the new businesses that will be at the Riverwalk Shoppes for the 2024 season. They will have a Class C license, which allows them to sell packaged wine to go. The Class C license does not allow for consumption on premise, but the State of Illinois does allow for product sampling. Product sampling would consist of up to 3 samples of one ounce of wine to a consumer in one day. The Mayor, Chief of Police, and Deputy Clerk met with the business and the background checks have been completed and successfully passed. RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve a Class C Liquor License to Patina McHenry LLC, located at 1202 Riverside Drive Unit 10, and if approved, pass an ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 2, Alcoholic Liquor, Section 6, Limitation on Number of Licenses, of the McHenry City Code. 423 424 Patina Wine Shop will be a small upscale retail store, featuring wines from around the world. Patina's walls will be lined with modern displays with retail wine, beer and spirit offerings, as well as beverage related gifts and home items. We will strive to become "the" spot for locals, boaters and wine enthusiasts to come to get hard to find wines, cult favorites, unique gifts and customized items for their homes. 425 The Products •Bottles of White Wine, Red Wine, Sparkling Wine, Fortified Wines •1 and 2 bottle a month Wine Club, offered in 3 month or 6 month memberships •Hard to find Liquors, Local Spirits and Craft Beers 426 The Products •Glassware, Decanters, Ice Cube Trays, Wine Openers •Charcuterie Boards,Accoutrements •Scented Candles,Wind Chimes,Bottle Carriers •Custom and Seasonal Gift Baskets •Picnic Baskets for Concerts in the Park 427 What makes patina wine shop different? McHenry has Liquor Stores. Patina Wine Shop is not a Liquor Store. Instead of offering a large selection of typical economical beers, liquors and wine, we will offer a carefully curated selection of products for those who are looking for something fun, unique, allocated, often at a premium price point, hopefully bringing people looking for the finer things into the area. McHenry does not have a wine shop or wine bar in town. The closest establishment is Off the Vine Wine Shop which is 20 minutes to the south in Crystal Lake. There is a wine bar/shop 25 minutes west in Woodstock, Winestock Market and Lounge and one in Wauconda, Bliss Wine Lounge. Both are more of a restaurant than a wine shop and do not offer a wide selection of gifts or a wine club. We are hoping to capture not only neighbors from McHenry but also to appeal to our neighbors north and northeast of us who don't have anything close to what we offer by them.428 Our target market Our target market is adults ages 35 -65 who are upper middle class. McHenry, Spring Grove and Volo have some of the most expensive real estate in the state. They are home to many people who can be described as "Urban Sophisticates".They read, support the arts and high-end shops and love travel. We feel like this would be a great market for an upscale wine shop. 429 Patina Wine Shop Team 430 Owner/shop manager Carissa Shaffer Carissa has been active in the restaurant industry for over 25 years. In 2003,she graduated from the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago and began managing restaurants. She spent 8 years with Francesca's Restaurants Group as the Director of Operations and a Managing Partner. As her curiosity grew for wine and fine dining, she took a job as the Director of Operations with Boka Restaurant Group in Chicago,where she was able to work with Michelin Star Restaurants,James Beard Award Winning Chefs and Master Sommeliers. In 2014,Carissa went on to open her own restaurant, Knife & Tine, in Lincoln Park to critical acclaim.In 2018, she sold off her business and began working with Bobby's Restaurants as a Director of Operations and Partner at Café Lucci and Bobby's Deerfield. In 2023, Carissa and her partner Tim opened the first Patina Wine Bar in Park Ridge. The neighborhood went wild for an amazing wine bar with incredible food and they have been packed ever since. She is extremely excited about Patina Wine Shop at the McHenry Riverwalk Shoppes! She hopes to spend the year gaining invaluable knowledge of the community, product likes and dislikes and sales trends and then to be back in front of you to ask for a liquor license for Patina Wine Bar Mc Henry!431 Owner/ shop manager tim arifi Tim grew up in the family restaurant business with his Grandfather and Father owning Café Lucci in Glenview. From a young age, he spent all his time at the restaurant doing everything from hosting to washing dishes to valeting cars. In 2007, Tim headed to Illinois State University where he received a degree in Operations Management and Entrepreneurship. During his time in college, he opened a mobile car detailing business, which was one of the first in Illinois. The business was extremely successful and profitable. But the call of the restaurant business was too strong, and he soon bought in as a partner of Bobby's Deerfield. Shortly after, he became the CFO of Bobby's Restaurants, handling the finances and overseeing accounting, reporting and cashflow. Tim opened Patina Wine Bar in Park Ridge in 2023 and now oversees the all the finacials and the beverage program at the restaurant, ensuring they have unique and allocated items while also managing group programming and inventory. While Carissa and Tim are familiar with the Northern Chicago Suburbs, they feel having a spot at the Riverwalk Shoppes will help them learn the clientele and the community. They feel this is the best way to learn if Patina Wine Bar Mc Henry would be viable. 432 Sommelier wylie shaffer Wylie will be our Certified Sommelier for Patina Wine Shop. After many years of classes and studying, he passed the very challenging and rigorous final exam with the Court of Master Sommeliers. The early part of his career was spent being the Sommelier at the Saloon Steakhouse, The Wit Hotel and The Purple Pig in Chicago. He has a passion for unique wines and has traveled abroad to Portugal, Croatia, Greece and Italy to expand his knowledge. Wylie will be selecting the wines that Patina Wine Shop, the Wine Club and will be in store to discuss wine with customers. 433 1VIcHenr License Classification Application Date* 2/13/2024 License Type* A Class"D"(Special EvenP'license has a separate application A B C E F G H Liccnsc Classifications-Link to classifications list in the City Code New/Transfer* New Business Transfer of License Applicant Business Name of Business* Patina McHenry LLC Name on License Name to appear on liquor license(if different than above).

Crystal Lake Road. ATT: 1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated March 20, 2024 2. Ordinance granting a Zoning Variation and Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open Sales Lot in conjunction with Automotive Sales at 4016 W. Crystal Lake Road. 3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report & Petitioner’s Application Packet AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Bold Motors Inc. is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate an Open Sales Lot in conjunction with automotive sales at 4016 W. Crystal Lake Road. The City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for automotive sales if openly displaying automotive vehicles for sale. The petitioner is also requesting approval of a Zoning Variation to accommodate the location of the existing Quonset hut that was constructed in 1950. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION: A public hearing for the request was held on March 20, 2024. There were no objectors present at the hearing. Staff explained that the subject property is located within the boundaries of the Main Street Subarea Plan. The plan recommends the consolidation of the existing lots located on the southwest corner of IL-120 and Crystal Lake Road into a single development. Several years ago, Thorntons attempted to consolidate ownership of the lots but failed due to ‘hold out’ property owners wanting well above market value for their property. Staff believes it is unlikely that lot consolidation will occur without some type of government intervention. Staff 440 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org also explained that the existing principal structure (Quonset hut) encroached within the required interior side yard setback but is considered legal nonconforming since the structure was lawfully constructed in 1950. Overall, the Commission agreed with staff’s assessment. The Commission’s discussion was largely clarifying whether there was any type of automotive repair. The petitioner explained that very minor superficial repairs would occur onsite but most work would be contracted offsite with local automotive repair businesses. The Commission voted in favor of the request 6- yay, 1-nay, 0-abstain. The Commissioner voting against the request identified his desire for development to go in a different direction for this area with the new investment coming in at Taylor Place Apartments. Those voting in favor identified that overall consolidation would be unlikely without some form of government intervention. In the meantime, allowing a business to occupy the space would be preferred. If the City Council concurs, it is recommended that the attached ordinance granting a Zoning Variation and Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open Sales Lot in conjunction with Automotive Sales be approved (City Council vote-simple majority). 441 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org Unapproved Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes March 20, 2024 File No. Z-2024-03 Petitioner: Bold Motors Inc. Request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open Sales Lot in conjunction with Automotive Sales and Zoning Variations to accommodate the existing Principal and Accessory Structures at 4016 W. Crystal Lake Road. Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the file at 5:31 p.m. Planner Sheriff stated that all publication requirements have been met. Petitioner Bold Motors Inc., represented by Jaime Valdez and Oleh Semesenko were sworn in by Chairwoman Rockweiler. Oleh gave a general overview of their business and desire to relocate to McHenry and that they are requesting approval of Variations to accommodate the existing principal building and a Conditional Use Permit for the Open Sales Lot. Planner Sheriff presented the staff report. Planner Sheriff identified that the existing principal structure predates the currently adopted Zoning Ordinance and contained a legal nonconforming setback. Given the longevity of the use of the building staff did not believe approval of the request for a variation would generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. Staff also did not believe that approval of the requested conditional use would generate any adverse impacts given the longevity of the use of the site for sales of commercial equipment and operations as a woodworking shop. Staff identified that the site is located within the boundaries of the Main Street Subarea Plan. The plan identifies this site as well as others surrounding it to be consolidated into a single lot. Staff identified that an attempt was made over 20 years ago to do this when Thorntons was looking at this corner but ultimately failed due to a single holdout property. Staff doesn’t believe approval of the request would hinder the plan’s goal for lot consolidation without government intervention of some sort such as imminent domain but that would require many steps to occur beforehand. Planner Sheriff identified several conditions of approval recommended if the Commission viewed the petition favorably. Commissioner Riley asked questions about the location of the ROW. Planner Sheriff responded and explained it was a few feet from the existing curb. 442 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org Commissioner Lehman and Commissioner Locke asked if the petitioner would be performing minor repair work and related activities. Mr. Semesenko responded saying that they would only be performing work that would clean the car’s appearance and general work. Nothing serious would occur such as body work or any type of related automotive repair. Commissioner Davis also inquired about repair work and Mr. Semesenko reiterated prior points that any repair work would be superficial for the most part to get the cars ready for sale. Commissioner Gleason asked about where customers will park. Mr. Semesenko responded saying that customers would park generally in front of the office area in the front next to the garage. Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public comment portion of the public hearing at 5:39PM. None were present and Chairwoman closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 5:39PM. Final deliberation and discussion. The Commission was largely in agreement with the petition with the exception of Commissioner Locke who stated he was generally not in favor of the request stating he believed it was out of character of what the City wanted to accomplish in the Main Street Subarea. A motion was made by Commissioner Lehman, Seconded by Commissioner Riley to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open Sales Lot in conjunction with automotive sales at the Subject Property, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Property Owner shall maintain the display area in a neat and orderly manner as determined by the Zoning Administrator. 2. The display of motor vehicles shall be prohibited in the Right-of-Way. 3. The Property Owner shall apply for a building permit for the stripping of the parking lot prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. And by making said motion, Commissioner Lehman agreed that the approval criteria for Conditional Uses have been met as outlined in the staff report. Roll Call Vote: 6-ayes: Commissioners Rockweiler, Bremer, Davis, Gleason, Riley, and Lehman; 1-Nay: Locke; 0- abstained.

REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT DATE: April 15, 2024 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Steve Wirch, Director of Public Works Greg Gruen, P.E., Engineer RE: Central WWTP Site Remediation Program No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter ATT: HR Green, Inc. - Change Order #1 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Staff requests City Council to consider approving Change Order #1 in the amount of $40,680 to HR Green, Inc. to assist the City to obtain an NFR letter from the IEPA for the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) site. This Change Order is in addition to Task Order #3 that was previously approved by City Council. BACKGROUND: The Central WWTP site consists of approximately 7 acres of area at the far east end of Waukegan Road located along the Fox River. In Winter of 2021, the decommissioned WWTP was demolished in anticipation of future redevelopment. Staff has been in contact with several developers since that time. Due to the previous use of the site, they have indicated that obtaining an NFR letter from the IEPA is a prerequisite to developing the site. On September 6, 2022, the City Council approved Task Order #3 with HR Green, Inc. for $61,900 to assist the City in obtaining the NFR letter. The task order proposal scope was very specific and included providing 14 borings and 97 samples for analysis for potential contaminants. After the proposal was approved, HR Green developed a project plan and subsequently submitted the plan to the IEPA. This is the first step in the NFR process. The IEPA reviewed the plan and is requiring a total of 16 borings and 159 samples. The additional borings, sampling testing, analysis and 449 The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. reporting will cost an additional $40,680. To date, the City has spent only $9,201 of the original contract. The existing site is located in the City’s Downtown TIF district. The FY24/25 budget includes $96,000 to pay for the remaining costs. ANALYSIS: Staff has analyzed the proposal and the additional fee of $40,680 is reasonable. This change order is due to the additional IEPA boring, sampling and testing requirements that were more than originally anticipated. Staff’s recommendation is to proceed with Change Order #1 for Task Order #3 in the amount of $40,680. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that City Council approve Change Order #1 in the amount of $40,680 to HR Green, Inc. for the Central WWTP Site Remediation Program. 450 Version 2.3 02052021 EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES For City of McHenry Central WWTP – Site Remediation Program Environmental Services Troy Strange, PE – Director of Public Works City of McHenry 333 S Green Street McHenry, IL 60050 815-363-2185 Prepared By: Chad J.

(hereafter "COMPANY"). 1.0 Project Understanding COMPANY is pleased to provide CLIENT this proposal to perform various tasks as detailed herein associated with Illinois EPA Site Remediation Program (SRP) consulting for the former Central Wastewater Treatment Facility property, identified as PINs 09-35-203-040, 022, 025, and 040, in McHenry, Illinois (Site). The Site is approximately 6.77 acres in size. These services are proposed as part of the environmental due diligence process associated with potential redevelopment of the Site by a third-party developer. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was previously completed on the Site on January 11, 2019. The Phase I assessment process revealed the presence of Recognized Environmental Concern (RECs) in connection with or adjacent to the Site including a WWTP, Underground Storage Tanks (USTs), and a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) and a Historical Recognized Environmental Concern (HREC) including both an UST and LUST. In response to the identification of RECs on the Site, COMPANY performed a Phase II ESA to investigate the findings of this Phase I ESA. A total of five soil borings and five temporary wells were installed on the Site. The result of the investigation identified the presence of lead and benzene above the regulatory limits in groundwater and soil on the Site. The CLIENT has requested a proposal to perform tasks associated with the pursuit of ultimately securing a focused No Further Remediation (NFR) Letter for the Site. COMPANY is recommending that the CLIENT pursue a focused NFR Letter with the contaminants of concern identified as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PNAs), and RCRA Metals. Based on a review of the existing data, additional site investigation and technical reporting, at a minimum, is required for the issuance of a focused NFR Letter. 2.0 Scope of Services The CLIENT agrees to employ COMPANY to perform the following services: Task 1: Site Investigation Work Plan Based on the available information, COMPANY will prepare a Site Investigation Work Plan in conformance with the standards and requirements of the IEPA Site Remediation Program as provided in 740 and 742 as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) SW-846, “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,” ASTM E1903-97 standard, “Standard for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Process,” and Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) 1910 Standards. The additional proposed site investigation activities identified in the plan will be proposed to meet the minimum investigation requirements based on recent input from the IEPA. The plan shall include a detailed technical description of the proposed Site Investigation procedures inclusive of the installation of soil borings, temporary groundwater and soil gas monitoring wells, collection of soil, groundwater and soil gas samples with respect to 740 and 742 requirements. The Site Investigation Work Plan will also identify the reporting requirements Completed with plan approved y IEPA an 30, 2023 April 9, 2024 by IEPA Jan. 30, 2023 453 Scope of Services Central WWTP-SRP HR Green Project No.: 200769.03 August 8, 2022 Page 2 of 7 Version2.3 02052021 necessary for ultimately obtaining SRP approval and closure via issuance of an NFR Letter. The Work Plan shall be submitted to the IEPA for review and comment. Upon receipt of any comments, COMANY shall modify the Plan, if necessary, and gain CLIENT approval for execution of the approved Work Plan Site Investigation activities. Task 2: Focused Phase II Site Investigation The purpose of the Phase II Focused Site Investigation (FSI) activities discussed within this section is to supplement existing data and evaluate current subsurface conditions at the Site for inclusion within a FSI Report to address the IEPA provided comments and meet the initial reporting requirements of 35 Illinois Administrative Code (IAC) 740, Site Remediation Program (740), and 35 IAC 742, Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (742). The FSI proposed herein is based on the initial review of available information. The initial scope identified herein was developed in conjunction with general regulatory requirements and guidelines, as well as input from the CLIENT and existing Site conditions. COMPANY initially proposes the following: • Advance up to fourteen (14) soil borings to depths ranging between approximately 15 to 20 feet below ground surface (bgs) to evaluate soil and groundwater (if encountered) quality at the Site. • Completion of three (3) soil borings that are 2” constructed groundwater monitoring wells and two (2) soil borings that are 1” temporary groundwater wells to maximum depths of 20 feet bgs to evaluate groundwater (if encountered) conditions at the Site. • Installation of three (3) soil gas implants to a maximum depth of five (5) feet below grade to evaluate VOCs in soil gas. COMPANY will perform a subsurface investigation in conformance with standards set forth by the IEPA in 740 and 742, US EPA SW-846, “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical / Chemical Methods,” ASTM E1903-19 standard, “Standard for Environmental Site. Assessments: Phase II Environmental Site Assessment Process and OSHA 1910 Standards. COMPANY will subcontract a drilling contractor to perform environmental drilling services. The drilling contractor will be responsible for public utility locates prior to drilling activities. COMPANY requests the CLIENT and/or Owner identifies any private utility locations prior to mobilization. All soil and groundwater samples selected for laboratory analysis will be placed in laboratory provided containers, labeled, placed in a cooler with ice, and logged on a chain of custody form. The soil samples will be transported under chain-of-custody to a National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) accredited laboratory. The samples will be analyzed within the standard turnaround time (five to seven business days) following Level II Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols. The following presents the maximum number of soil samples to be analyzed for each parameter: • Nineteen (19) samples for VOCs, USEPA Method 8260B. Soil samples will be preserved in the field following USEPA Method 5035 protocols. • Nineteen (19) samples for PNAs, USEPA Method 8270B. • Nineteen (19) samples for RCRA Metals, USEPA Method 6010B. 15 4 30 24 30 Six (6) samples for SVOCs, USEPA Method 8270B Note: 3" Rock will require either larger drill rig or excavator to provide sample 454 Scope of Services Central WWTP-SRP HR Green Project No.: 200769.03 August 8, 2022 Page 3 of 7 Version2.3 02052021 • Up to twelve (12) samples for Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) extraction and evaluation of two metal constituents per extracted sample, USEPA Method 1311/6010/6020. • Up to six (6) soil samples for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), USEPA Method 8015B. • Nineteen (19) samples for pH, USEPA Method 9045C. • Three (3) samples for Fractional Organic Carbon (FOC), ASTM 2974-87. A total of three (3) soil borings will be completed as constructed 2” groundwater monitoring wells and two (2) soil borings will be completed as 1” groundwater monitoring wells to a maximum depth of 20 feet bgs. From each well, a grab-groundwater-sample will be analyzed for the focused contaminants of concern as identified above with the exception of TPH, pH, and FOC, in accordance with the applicable method. Additionally, field-filtered groundwater samples will be collected for analyses of RCRA Metals to evaluate both dissolved and total concentrations. In addition to groundwater sample collection, COMPANY shall also perform in-situ hydraulic conductivity testing and survey the wells to identify a hydraulic gradient and groundwater flow direction. The following table summarizes the soil, groundwater, and soil gas characterization analytical parameters and applicable methods: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) 8260B Soil/Groundwater Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PNAs) 8270 Soil/Groundwater RCRA Metals 6010B/7471 Soil/Groundwater Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) 8015B Soil Fractional Organic Carbon (FOC) 9060A Soil Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) RCRA Metals (as necessary) 1311/6010/6020 Soil pH 9045D Soil VOCs (Soil Gas) TO-15 Soil Gas Laboratory analytical results will be compared to the most stringent Soil Remediation Objectives (SROs) described in 35 Illinois Administrative Code (IAC) 742, Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (742).

Grab groundwater samples will be collected from the constructed groundwater monitoring wells and submitted to the laboratory for the purposes of obtaining a quantitative measure of potential contaminants in groundwater at the Site. The groundwater samples will be analyzed for the parameters identified above with the exception of TPH, pH and FOC. Based on the nature of the Site, all soil boring cuttings which cannot be managed within the associated borehole following drilling activities shall be containerized within 55-gallon drum(s) and temporarily staged on-site. Following completion of field activities and acquisition of the Site by the CLIENT, COMPANY shall arrange for off-site transport and disposal of waste material generated during investigation activities. Boreholes will be properly abandoned and sealed utilizing soil boring cuttings, bentonite or similar product. Task 3: Site Remediation Program - Technical Reporting (FSIR/ROR/RAP) Upon completion of Site Investigation activities as well as coordination and selection of remedial actions to address any impacts, COMPANY will prepare and submit the required initial three (3) SRP technical reports which include a focused Site Investigation Report, Remedial Objectives Report, and Remedial Action Plan (SIR/ROR/RAP) per 740 and 742 requirements to the IEPA for review. Due to the Site history and existing environmental data, the use of environmental land use controls may be proposed within the RAP. As noted, engineered barriers (i.e., asphalt parking areas, concrete foundations and slabs, etc.), building control technologies, and/or institutional controls (e.g., groundwater use restrictions, highway authority agreements) may be proposed, where applicable, within the RAP to address soil, soil gas and/or groundwater impacts. Once a remedial strategy is coordinated and selected by the CLIENT/stakeholders and an IEPA-approved RAP has been established and redevelopment plans have been finalized, COMPANY can coordinate with the CLINET to ensure the proposed measures are enacted. Task 4: Site Remediation Program - Technical Reporting (Remedial Action Completion Report) Once an IEPA-approved RAP has been established, COMPANY shall coordinate with the CLIENT to ensure the proposed measures are implemented. Additional coordination, construction oversight , and confirmation sampling may be necessary for remedial activities dependent upon supplemental site investigation results. The scope of these efforts, if additional work is necessary, will be evaluated during development of the RAP and a separate cost proposal can be provided to the CLIENT for these services if requested. Upon execution of the RAP components, COMPANY can prepare and submit the SRP-required Remedial Action Completion Report (RACR) documenting these conditions and requesting a final NFR Letter. The costs associated with preparing the RACR for IEPA review is identified in the below table. Any additional coordination for Highway Authority Agreements, off-site notifications, construction oversight, remedial design, or developing necessary institutional controls, if ultimately necessary, may be addressed under separate proposal or the general consulting project rates. 456 Scope of Services Central WWTP-SRP HR Green Project No.: 200769.03 August 8, 2022 Page 5 of 7 Version2.3 02052021 3.0 Deliverables and Schedules Included in this Agreement COMPANY can commence preparation of the Site Investigation Work Plan within one week of authorization. The work plan shall be completed within three weeks of authorization. In the meantime, COMPANY recommends enrolling the Site into the IEPA SRP for assignment of an SRP Project Manager. Once the Work Plan is approved by the SRP Project Manager, COMPANY shall schedule drilling activities which shall be dependent upon drilling subconsultant availability. COMPANY anticipates that Site Investigation activities and lab analyses results shall be completed and received within approximately four weeks from initial mobilization for drilling. The initial SRP reporting (FSIR/ROR/RAP) shall be completed within eight weeks following receipt of all analytical results. An IEPA review period of up to 90 days for the combined initial SRP reports is anticipated. COMPANY shall submit all reports to the CLIENT in DRAFT format for review and comment prior to issuing a final report or submitting to the IEPA for review. The revie w time period may affect the overall project schedule. Following RAP approval, the scope and schedule for remaining activities will depend upon Site Investigation results, RAP components, and the construction schedule. The final SRP Report and the Remedial Action Completion Report, can be submitted within four weeks of implementing all IEPA- approved Remedial Actions. This schedule was prepared to include reasonable allowances for review and approval times required by the CLIENT and public authorities having jurisdiction over the project. This schedule shall be equitably adjusted as the project progresses, allowing for changes in the scope of the project requested by the CLIENT or for delays or other causes beyond the control of COMPANY. 4.0 Items not included in Agreement/Supplemental Services The following items are not included as part of this AGREEMENT: • The provided estimate for Phase II SI activities is based on general SRP requirements, limited available information regarding site history and conditions, and the provided redevelopment concept. Additional investigation scope of work may vary and will ultimately depend upon Illinois EPA feedback, updates to the final redevelopment plans, as well as the results of future investigation activities. The provided costs do not include any off-site investigation work, remobilization for additional soil borings or monitoring well installation, or coordination for off - site access or off-site remedial activities. • It is assumed that the reliance on engineered barriers, institutional controls, and potentially Building Control Technology will eliminate the need for active remediation or extensive selective soil removal associated with impacted subsurface media. Pursuing risk -based closure by managing contamination in-situ and implementing applicable and effective environmental controls in accordance with SRP requirements is feasible based on the existing available data and represents the lowest potential costs for obtaining an NFR Letter. • This proposal is based on fieldwork performed in Level D personal protection (i.e., steel -toed boots, hard hats, safety glasses, and gloves). COMPANY will postpone fieldwork and notify CLIENT immediately if field conditions warrant an increase in personal protection. 457 Scope of Services Central WWTP-SRP HR Green Project No.: 200769.03 August 8, 2022 Page 6 of 7 Version2.3 02052021 •Due to the nature of the Site, investigation derived waste (e.g., soil cuttings, purged groundwater) will be containerized within and/or 55-gallon drums as necessary for ultimate off- site disposal. This proposal assumes reasonable accommodation on behalf of the CLIENT, owner, contractor, and/or operator for temporarily staging waste container(s) on-site within the vicinity of the investigation area. •Site restoration beyond surface patching of soil boring locations. Supplemental services not included in the Agreement can be provided by COMPANY under separate agreement, if desired. 5.0 Services by Others COMPANY will obtain True North Consultants, Inc. as a subconsultant for work and analysis and report preparations. COMPANY will obtain a geotechnical subconsultant to perform soil boring and analytical analysis. 6.0 Client Responsibilities The CLIENT is to provide COMPANY with project information to include, but not limited to: •Provide legal access to the property for the Environmental Services. •Provide any SRP enrollment fees, permitting fees, review or closure fees, or other fees that may be assessed by local, State, or Federal government agencies during the performance of environmental work on-site. •Provide COMPANY with a temporary designated staging area(s) for investigation derived waste and re-locating drums (as necessary) until final pickup for transport to the disposal facility. 458 Scope of Services Central WWTP-SRP HR Green Project No.: 200769.03 August 8, 2022 Page 7 of 7 Version2.3 02052021 7.0 Professional Services Fee 7.1 Fees The CLIENT AGREES to pay COMPANY on the following basis: Time and material basis with a Not to Exceed fee of $58,000.00.

Property Annexation Map BACKGROUND: The City began receiving requests for annexation of unincorporated property located along Orchard Beach Road starting in 2002. At the time, Riverside Hollow Subdivision was newly constructed, which extended new water and sewer service stubs into Orchard Beach Road. City Ordinance requires unincorporated property owners to annex into the City of McHenry to connect to City services. The Ordinance also allows property owners to connect without annexing but requires a 3/4ths super-majority City Council vote in addition to paying 1.5 times utility rates. There were several challenges to annexation for property located on Orchard Beach Road. The road was classified as a nondedicated road and was in very poor condition. The other challenge was that because it was a nondedicated road, it was classified as a barrier to annexation. This left property owners with only the option of entering into pre-annexation agreements, which require properties to annex upon becoming contiguous in exchange for City services. Since 2002, the City has entered into pre-annexation agreements with 6 properties along Orchard Beach Road. In 2023, the McHenry Township Highway Commissioner initiated roadway improvements to Orchard Beach Road using Motor Fuel Tax funds and took possession of the road. As a result, Orchard Beach Road is now classified as a public highway. This change in legal status of the roadway was reviewed by the City’s attorney, who determined the parcels are now considered contiguous. Additionally, the road condition has now been improved, with an anticipated life cycle of 15-20 years until further significant maintenance will be required. 462 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org A total of 9 properties are part of this current discussion: 6 that have executed pre-annexation agreements, 1 new connection permit under consideration (1920 Orchard Beach), and 2 properties that were issued connection permits without completing a pre-annexation agreement (the first in 2006, and another new single-family residence that is currently under construction at 2006 Orchard Beach). In the latter instance, the City still maintains the ability to deny connection to the City sewer. Also note that 2 of the executed pre-annexation agreements have since expired. With the change in the legal status and improved physical condition of the roadway, the City has several options on how to move forward: 1. The property currently under construction is at 2006 Orchard Beach, which is at the northernmost point of the properties under discussion (see map attached). Annexing this property would allow the City to forcibly annex the remaining properties to the south. Staff believes this to be the most effective and efficient option that would allow the City to ‘clean up’ the remainder parcels without burdening individual homeowners. However, this homeowner has not signed a pre-annexation agreement. 2. The City could annex each property individually and negotiate with each individual property owner. However, this is a very time intensive process that may involve litigation should the property owners with active pre-annexation agreements refuse to annex voluntarily. Per the agreement, they are required to annex now that it is legally possible. (Note that the City does have the ability to disconnect properties under pre-annexation agreements if they refuse to annex. However, disconnection would render the homes uninhabitable and should be the option of last resort.) 3. The City could continue to allow the properties to remain unincorporated but still utilize City services at 1.5x the normal rate. However, it is inevitable that new property owners will continue to inquire about connecting to City services, and this problem will resurface repeatedly in the future. There is also an equity component to consider since the system is funded by McHenry residents. STAFF ANALYSIS: The City is now in a much better position to annex said properties than in prior years because Orchard Beach Road has been improved by the Township. If annexed, Orchard Beach Road would be placed near last on the list on the City’s roadway maintenance schedule. The riverfront properties under discussion are on the higher end of home property values due to their quality and proximity to the Fox River. Therefore, staff estimates the property taxes generated could easily accommodate the future maintenance costs of Orchard Beach Road, provided the property 463 Department of Community Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.cityofmchenry.org tax levy is increased by an amount equal to the assessed value of the annexed properties’ share of the levy. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City pursue the annexation of 2006 Orchard Beach Road. This would allow the City to involuntarily annex the remainder parcels and avoid individual negotiation with many separate property owners. Note that there would be a minimal cost to the City to survey the properties. 464 Address Status 1828 Orchard Beach Rd None Located 1902 Orchard Beach Rd Expired 1904 Orchard Beach Rd Expired 1906 Orchard Beach Rd Existing 1908 Orchard Beach Rd Existing 1910 Orchard Beach Rd Existing 1918 Orchard Beach Rd Existing 1920 Orchard Beach Rd Permit Submitted for Connection 2006 Orchard Beach Rd Under Construction 465 466
