DATE: Apri130, 2018
T0: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Citizens and Businesses of McHenry
FROM: Derik Morefield, City Administrator
Carolyn Lynch, Finance Director
RE: FY18/19 Annual Budget
Mayor, City Council, Citizens, and Businesses of McHenry:
It is our pleasure to present for your review the Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Annual Budget.
On the following pages you will not only be able to identify the municipal organizational structure
and how municipal revenues are derived and expenditures disbursed, but also learn more about the
financial policies that drive municipal budget decision -making. On a more detailed level, the reader
can also identify the FY17/18 Accomplishments and FY18/19 Goals and Objectives for each
operating fund and the continued inclusion of Performance Measures in an attempt to gauge the
success of specific programs or operations within the municipality.
The City's annual fiscal year budget covers the period beginning May 15t 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 five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The budget preparation process provides the
various divisions and departments of the City with the opportunity to review accomplishments, set
goals and objectives, and identify the means for accomplishing these goals and objectives.
Every employee of the municipality plays a role in the budgeting process - be it formulation,
preparation, implementation, administration, or evaluation. Ultimately, Department Directors,
through the City Administrator, are accountable to the City Council and to the residents of McHenry
for the performance of departments in meeting goals and objectives, and for the diligent fiscal
management of funds, as set forth in the budget document.
Department Directors, with input from their respective managers, superintendents and
departmental staff, analyze historical data, review existing operational needs, and project anticipated
operational needs in order develop line -item budget requests that allow them to maintain or enhance
the level of programs and services within their departments. These detailed requests are then
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 the City Administration to present Council with a balanced operating budget which is achieved in
the attached information.

Our outstanding parks system provides residents and visitors with a variety of passive and active
recreational and cultural opportunities throughout the year. Our stable manufacturing and retail
base creates skilled, high paying jobs and provides goods and services here, in McHenry, instead of
having to drive elsewhere for them. Our downtowns, like all downtowns, continue to present
challenges as they continue their evolutions but we will continue to strive to work with property
owners to match right entrepreneur with spaces that are available. The Fox River remains a source
of unlimited opportunities for creating economic growth recreational opportunities. While the City
continues to find itself in a strong financial position we must continue to monitor economic threats -
such as the State Budget crisis and economy overall - to ensure that we are not caught off guard in
the future. Continuing the practice of prudence when it comes to estimating revenues, limiting
expenditures as possible, and evaluating and implementing efficiency in operations are all important
to maintaining a sound financial plan. In addition, with the newly implemented Fund Balance and
Reserve Policy there is clear definition in identifying funding required as an "operational reserve",
available in response to financial threats, and funding that is "assigned for capital", to be used to
implement the tens of millions of dollars in capital project needs of the community.
The City of McHenry, led by its elected officials, continue to be excellent stewards of public funds and
the FY18/19 Budget, operationally balanced as presented, is a reflection of this commitment.
Sincerely,
Derik Morefield, MPA Carolyn Lynch
City Administrator Director of Finance

History and Demographic Snapshot of McHenry
McHenry is located in east -central McHenry County, 55 miles northwest of the Chicago Loop and 35
miles from O'Hare International Airport. 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, and 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 1920's the town became known as a resort
destination because of the Fox River, surrounding lakes, and easy accessibility from Chicago. Bands
played at local pavilions, trainloads of visitors arrived to 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 had the unintended side effect of isolating the original business districts
West Main, Riverside Drive, and Green Street).
In spite of its beauty and strong attraction to tourists, McHenry owed her growth to the stability
provided by the many farmers who worked the fertile land as well as the establishment of industry
with new factories such as 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
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
aRowed 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.
McHenry's current population is approximately 27,000, including 10,075 households, an average
household size of 2.66, and median household income of $68,024. Of the 10,075 households,
approximately 7,719 are owner -occupied and 2,356 are renter occupied. The median resident age is
37.1. The City's 2017 EAV was $638,080,968.
The City currently has more than 2,000 approved unplatted lots and platted vacant lots. Active
subdivisions in the City include: Abbey Ridge, Boone Creek, Burning Tree, Chesapeake Hills,
Deerwood Estates, Evergreen Parks, Foxcroft Ridge, Glacier Ridge, Knox Farm, Legend Lakes, Liberty
Trails, Lincoln Hills, Martin Woods, Morgan Hill, Oaks at Irish Prairie, Patriot Estates, Prairie Lakes
and Preserves at Boone Creek.
Total number of businesses in the City is 1,473 and total employment is approximately 19,661, with
an employee/residential population ratio of 73:1. The City's three largest employment sectors, by
number of employees, are: Healthcare and Social Assistance: 5,136 employees/26%; Retail Trade:
3,139 employees/16% and Manufacturing: 2,418 employees/12.3%.

City of McHenry Strategic Plan Summary
Background
In the fall of 2013 the City Council and Department Directors participated in a facilitated strategic
planning session and the results of this exercise were compiled and presented to Council in the form
of the City of McHenry Comprehensive Strategic Plan document that was adopted by Council in August
of 2014. In addition to establishing updated Mission and Vision statements, Governing Principles
and a Code of Ethics, the plan identified fifty-nine (59) Strategic Goals as guiding principles for
decision -making.
In the spring of 2016 Staff and Council undertook a review of the plan document with a focus towards
ensuring that the strategic plan remain relevant to the activities/actions being undertaken by staff
and elected officials, to revisit opportunities, and to identify/introduce any new strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that may need to be incorporated in to the plan. While
regular annual or biannual review of the plan is essential to provide for a structured mechanism of
update, the plan itself is a "living breathing" document that consistently shifts as internal and external
factors change.
As a result of the initia12014 Strategic Planning Session and the 2016 follow-up review session, the
following now serves as McHenry's Strategic Plan. The attributes and identifiable goals that it
conveys have been identified as essential for the municipality and, as possible, are incorporated into
the annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Annual Budget. Attributes are listed in order of
importance based on participant feedback.
Mission Statement
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.

planning documents. Examples include the annually updated 5-Year Capital Improvement
Program and the annual operating Budget. (Office of the City Administrator, All)
The mission will be added to letterhead, memos, etc. (Office of the City Administrator, All)

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. The second is to develop an annual fiscal plan that will assist City leaders in making better
decisions and enhance financial accountability.
Given the constraints of a small community, this budget document is continually being changed and
is coming closer to meeting the requirements as a:
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 budget
issues, 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 budget
year 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 General Fund revenues for the 2014/15
through 2016/17 fiscal years as well as budget amounts for the current and upcoming years. 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
buAget in a manner that is simple and understandable. The Proposed FY18/19 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.ci.mchenr, .iyl.us prior to adoption by the City Council. Once adopted, the
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.ci.mchenry.il.us.
11
Basis of Accounting and Budgetin
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.
The City prepares its budget on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
except that the City also recognizes encumbrances for budgetary purposes. Encumbrances include
supplies ordered but not received, and services contracted but not yet expended by the City.
Encumbrances are charged against a budget or appropriation for account purposes. Accordingly,
expenditures/expenses in this document include encumbered expenditures/expenses.
Encumbrances do not lapse at year-end and provide authorization for expenditures/expenses for the
following year.
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.
12
Budget Process Summa
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 five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The budget preparation process provides the
various divisions and departments of the City with the opportunity to review accomplishments, set
goals and objectives, and identify the means for accomplishing these goals and objectives.
Capital Improvement Plan
The five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), reviewed and updated annually, is an integral part
of the budget process and is designed to achieve two fundamental objectives: first, to identify the
major capital needs of the City over a specific planning period; and, second, to prioritize and begin
planning, both financially and logistically, for the implementation of these capital improvements.
Capital expenditures are defined as any project that will have a useful life of longer than one year and
a value greater than $10,000. The CIP prioritizes each project using a unified and objective system
that identifies the most important capital project needs. The final budget document includes capital
expenditures as defined and prioritized during the CIP development process - based on the
availability of sufficient funds. Importantly, the CIP document serves as a planning document for the
identification of capital improvement and capital equipment needs and not a budget document. In
other words, simply because a project is identified in the CIP does not guarantee that it will ever be
implemented. Implementation is based on annual review and availability of funding in the budget
document.
Budget Roles and Responsibilities
Every employee of the municipality plays a role in the budgeting processformulation,
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 Appropriation and Supplemental Appropriation
While the approved budget document establishes the estimates for revenues and guidelines for
expenditures of the municipality, the City is required to conduct a public hearing and adopt an annual
appropriation ordinance each July. The appropriation ordinance provides the legal authority to
13
allocate funds to specific spending activities and establishes the City's legal spending limit for the
fiscal year.
During the fiscal year it may be necessary, from time to time, to amend the approved budget (see
Budget Amendment Process below). As a result, in October following the close of the fiscal year
period (April 301h) the City is required to pass a supplemental appropriation ordinance to amend the
original appropriation ordinance to account for these budget amendments.
Budget Amendment Process
While budgets are prepared at the operational line item level, and approved by Council at the fund
line item level, budget amendments are brought before Council, per the Purchasing Policy and
Procedures approved in 2016, for unbudgeted items over $6,500.
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.
Preparation to Achieve the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Budget Award
Beginning with the FY15/16 Budget, the City Administration committed to undertaking continuous
improvements to the annual budget document that achieves the highest quality and reflects both the
guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA
best practices on budgeting. While some of these improvements are subtle, or related to unseen
operational modifications, others are more visible - such as the redevelopment of the budget to its
current form aimed at providing the reader with a more understandable and transparent document.

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 FY18/19.
The increase in staffing levels in the General Fund from FY15/16 to FY17/18 of 15.42 employees was
primarily due to the development of the consolidated 911 dispatch center (NERCOM). During this
time period, ten (10) new dispatchers and one (1) civilian supervisor have been hired to fully staff
this facility. Importantly, the City of McHenry is responsible for only 46.8% of NERCOM personnel
costs due to partnerships with the City of Woodstock, City of Harvard and the McHenry Township
Fire Protection District which, through center revenues, pay the remainder of the costs. Prior to this
consolidation, the General Fund totaled 111.98 employees - 20.57 employees LESS than FY07/08
when measures were taken to reduce staffing due to the recession.
Staffing identified in the Recreation Center and Water and Sewer Funds is financed by revenues
generated by these funds.

Staffing Needs Summary - Overview
In FY16/17 the administrative leadership team (ie., City Administrator, Human Resources Manager,
Department Directors, Superintendents, Managers) began the development of a Staffing Needs
Analysis. The primary purpose of this exercise was/is to develop a five-year Comprehensive
Workforce Plan that includes recommendations to changes in the organizational structure of the
municipality; recommendations for organizational training and employee development; the
implementation of career and leadership development programs; the implementation of employee
retention programs; and, the establishment of departmental succession plans. Ultimately, a staffing
plan allows Human Resources to update job descriptions, research appropriate wage and
compensation levels, network with other municipalities regarding their workforce needs and, in
general, be prepared for change within the organization.
Several factors triggered the need to determine staffing changes and future positions -the opening
A the McHenry Recreation Center, changes in how we provide services to residents and other
customers, and the identification of a significant number of employees reaching retirement age. All
A these factors led to the need to conduct an internal staffing analysis to prepare for the future.
In summary, the needs analysis addresses the staffing levels as well as the skills, knowledge, and
abilities needed to accomplish process improvements and create greater efficiency in operations. As
such, department directors were asked to project five years into the future in attempting to identify
department staffing needs, both in terms of personnel and skill, knowledge and abilities. This would
be achieved by analyzing the following factors:
1. Core Functions - Identification of the core functions of the municipality by
division/department;
2. Environmental Scan -Identification of the internal and external factors that could change the
way that core functions of the municipality are delivered;
3. Current Workforce Profile -Assessment of the knowledge, skills and abilities of the existing
workforce and to determine how the demographics of the workforce may impact the
organization during the period covered by the workforce plan;
4. Future Workforce Profile -Determining the needs of the future workforce based on required
knowledge, skills and abilities, use/application of technology, or anticipated
increases/decreases in staffing;
5. Gap/Surplus Analysis -Identification of any gaps and/or surpluses in staffing or skills that
will be required to efficiently and effectively carry out the core functions of the municipality.
Once this first task was complete, directors met with Human Resources Manager Campanella and
City Administrator Morefield to present and discuss their staffing needs for the next five years. The
discussions generally included:
Changes to a specific position or title when an existing employee departs;
If certain existing or new positions can be job -shared or whether interns or other staffing
tools could be used to reduce workforce costs;
19
Identification of the impact of technology on specific jobs or job functions resulting in changes
to the tasks associated with a position or the technical skills required to be successful in that
job.
Through this process, and subsequent review and update during the FY18/19 Budget process, the
following new or revised positions will be required within the next five years to meet the changing
services and programs and to ensure that the residents of McHenry continue to receive a high level
of customer service.

The new position summary is a working list with the understanding that business and community
needs change over time. This list will be reviewed and further refined annually to ensure that
positions are updated and reviewed as the workforce changes. It is important to note, as discussed
elsewhere in this document, that during the recession many employees absorbed the work of
eliminated positions which has led to a comingling of responsibilities which sometimes causes
20
confusion. The goal of this plan would be to untangle these positions, analyze responsibilities and
assign duties where appropriate.
21
Fund Structure Overview
The accounting system and the budget appropriation process are structured according to the basic

General Fund Revenues, Expenditures & Fund Balance Summary
General Fund Overview
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, 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 thespreadsheetfound atthe end of thissection titled "General Fund -Revenues,
Expenditures and Fund Balance Summary"for the following discussion.
General Fund Revenues, Expenditures and Fund Balance Summary
In summary, FY18/19 proposed General Fund Revenues and Expenditures reflect total revenues of
22,309,740 (an increase of $479,423 or 2.2%) and total operating expenditures of $22,051,341 (an
increase of $236,697 or 1.09%, less capital) - a difference (revenues over expenditures) of $258,399.
While specifics will be detailed in the discussion that follows, the primary reasons for increases in
revenues relate to projections for State and Local Sales Taxes (an increase of $547,765 combined),
the projection for Video Gaming revenues (an increase of $55,000), the projection for Franchise Fees
revenues (an increase of $20,000) and Reimbursements related to charges for services from parks
programs and internal fund transfers (an increase of $51,292). These are offset by decreases to
Property Tax revenues due to the Road & Bridge levy ($25,000), State Income Tax receipts
140,358), and Fines and Forfeiture revenues ($29,000).
In regards to expenditures, Personnel costs are proposed to increase by $188,094 (1.1304) due
primarily to the union contracts ($185,427), an estimated 2.75% increase to non -bargaining unit
employees ($96,382), and Police Pension costs ($145,484). These increases were offset by the
decreased benefit costs due primarily to moving health insurance to the pooled insurance group
174,742) as well as the elimination of two positions ($128,000). It should be noted that a portion
of the Police Dispatch Center costs are offset by General Fund Revenue increases in the form of
reimbursements (Row 22) from dispatch partner agencies and customers. Notably, FY18/19 General
Fund Expenditure proposed Contractual costs are $32,247 (1.68%) lower than FY17/18 and Supply
costs reflect an increase of $14,585 (1.84%).
Finally, the FY18/19 General Fund Expenditures includes $1,406,500 in capital expenses that will be
funded though the General Fund Balance. All other capital expenses budgeted in FY18/19 are in the
Capital Improvement Fund budget and will be funded with the General Fund - Assigned for Capital
balance which was transferred with the FY16/17 audit less the amount spent on FY17/18 expenses.
91.7
Further, carrying the General Fund Revenue and Expenditure estimates through the end of the fiscal
year (April 30th), it is projected that the total General Fund balance will be $7,549,339. As defined in
the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy this would result in a 120 day General Fund Balance Reserve of
7,283,317 and a General Fund Assigned to Capital amount of $266,022. As identified above this fund
balance amount will be reduced by $1,406,500 for capital improvement projects (Timothy/Clover
Water Main Improvements, Green Street Bridge Rehabilitation, Lakeland Park Drainage
Improvements). A note of caution however, the FY17/18 Estimated General Fund Revenues and
Expenditures are that, estimates, and economic factors or unforeseen expenses could change these
dollar amounts before the end of the year.
General Fund Revenues - FY17/18 Budgeted, FY17/18 Estimated, FY18/19 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. While some revenues, like Property
Taxes, can be clearly identified and anticipated based on the adoption of the annual property tax levy,
or based on historical performance, other revenues - such as Sales Taxes and State Income Tax - can
be volatile based on economic trends.
If anything, the economic recession of 2007/2008 sent a message to local governments that
economic -based revenues are not guaranteed and can fluctuate based on the economy and
disposable income. Actions taken at the local level to plan/adjust from this event resulted in the
establishment of a "new norm" for future budget considerations. Further, given the budget crisis of
the State of Illinois provides for continuing fiscal uncertainty since decisions at the state level can
have an immediate and devastating impact on state -shared revenues. This has been realized through
recent actions such as delayed state -shared revenue payments resulting in municipalities having to
utilize fund balances or make operational adjustments to decrease expenditures, and in analyzing the
State's more recent threat of reducing the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) by 50%. The
current legislation reduces the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) distribution by 10% and
charges a 2% administrative fee for local sales tax collection. This results in approximately a
178,000 reduction in General Fund revenues.
As such, in estimating General Fund Revenues for the purpose of budget development, the City
Administration takes a conservative approach in order to: 1) ensure that General Fund Revenue
projections are not overstated, to avoid deficit spending and the need to utilize the General Fund
reserves (e.g., 120 day unassigned fund balance); 2) limit excessive increases in operating
expenditures; and 3) maintain a financial "buffer", in the form of an Unassigned General Fund
Reserve, to protect the City from future unforeseen economic threats. Utilizing this philosophy, the
City Administration then considers past revenue performance, current economic trends, local
economic conditions, and economic forecast models developed by the Illinois Municipal League
IML) for use by local governments in developing revenue projections for the purpose of budget
development.
17Y17/18 Budgeted Revenues
In FY17/18 total budgeted General Fund Revenues were $21,830,317. Of this, $4,967,359 (22.8%)
was from Property Taxes, $7,176,624 (32.9)% was from the City's 1% share of the State Sales Tax,
1,948,118 (8.9%) was from the .5% Local Sales Tax, and $2,726,192 (12.5%) came from the City's
share of the State Income Tax. Revenues derived from these four (4) sources were budgeted at
16,818,293 or 77.1% of total General Fund Revenues. Of the remaining $5,012,024 (22.9%) in
budgeted General Fund Revenues, $1,163,842 (5.3%) were from Charges for Services, $2,043,382
9.4%) from Reimbursement for Services, $393,300 (1.8%) from Fines and Forfeitures, $36 /,50U
1.7%) from Licenses and Permits, $325,000 (1.5%) from Franchise Fees, $375,000 (1.7%) from
Video Gaming, and the remaining $344,000 (1.5%) came from all other sources combined.
FY17/18 Estimated Revenues
The following estimated revenues are based on 10-months of actual revenues and then projected
through the remainder of the fiscal year (April 30, 2018). Unfortunately, in some cases this
estimation is more difficult than simply dividing 10-month actual by 10 and multiplying by 12
because of when specific revenues are received. Further, FY17/18 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 2018, 4-5 months in to the new budget year.
At this time, estimated General Fund Revenues are projected to be $22,199,678 or $369,361 (1.7%)
higher than FY17/18 Budgeted revenues of $21,830,317. This reflects an estimated increase of
280,691, or 1.3%, from FY16/17 Actual revenues of $21,918,987.
Notably, FY17/18 Estimated Revenues, when compared to FY16/17 Actual revenues and FY17/18
Budgeted revenues, highlight the following:
State Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $496,009 (6.9%) higher than budgeted and
410,661 (5.7%) higher than the FY16/17 Actual amount.
Local Sales Tax revenue is projected to be $36,751 (1.9%) higher than budgeted and $39,263
2.0%) higher than received in FY16/17.
Combined, total Sales Tax revenue is estimated to be $532,760 (5.8%) higher than budgeted
and $449,924 (4.9%) higher than the FY16/17 Actual. State Sales Tax have shown significant
signs of an economic recovery, but are showing signs of "leveling off' in the upcoming years.
Also, Local Sales Tax revenues do not include the sale of licensed or titled items - such as cars,
boats, motorcycles, etc. As such, while the economic recovery and resulting increase in the
sale of licensed vehicles had a positive impact on the City's portion of the State Sales Tax, this
aspect has had no impact on Local Sales Tax revenues.
State Income Tax receipts are estimated at $296,912 (10.90/n) lower than budgeted and
115,687 (4.6%) lower than FY16/17.
Video Gaming revenues are estimated to be $429,570, or $54,570 (14.6%) higher than
budgeted and $2,410 (0.6%) lower than FY16/17.
Fines and Forfeitures revenues are estimated to be $33,265 (8.5%) lower than budgeted due
to lower traffic fine receipts and $244,836 (40.5%) lower than FY16/17 due to one-time
seizure funds that were received from the federal government for services provided by the
McHenry Police Department.
Reimbursements for services revenues are estimated at $101,332 (5.0%) higher than
budgeted and $817,483 (61.6%) higher than FY16/17. This is primarily due to the dispatch
consolidation and cost reimbursements by partner and customer agencies for dispatch
services.
47
In summary, FY17/18 Estimated Revenues are projected at $369,361 (1.7%) higher than budgeted
primarily due to State and Local Sales Tax receipts and Reimbursements directly related to the
consolidation of dispatch services. And, when compared to FY16/17 Actual revenues, total General
Fund Revenues increased $280,691 (1.3%).
FY18/19 Proposed Revenues
FY18/19 Proposed General Fund Revenues represent an increase of $479,423 (2.2%) from FY17/18
Budgeted revenues and an increase of $390,753 (1.8%) from FY16/17 Actual revenues. Highlights
Achanges to General Fund Revenues proposed for FY18/19 include:
Based on Council action to freeze the property tax levy and the recent actions of Nunda
Township Road District, Property Tax revenues are proposed to decrease by $25,00 (0.5%)
from the FY17/18 Budgeted amount.
State Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $7,699,625, $523,001 or 7.29% higher than
FY17/18 Budget.
Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $1,972,882, an increase of $24,764 (1.3%) from
FY17/180
Combined State and Local Sales Tax revenues are proposed at $9,672,507, an increase of
547,765 (6.0%) from the FY17/18 Budget amount.
State Income Tax revenues are proposed at $2,585,834, a decrease of $140,358 (5.15%) from
FY17/18.
Video Gaming revenues are proposed at $430,000, a $55,000 (14.7%) increase from FY17/18
Budget amount.
Fines and Forfeitures revenues are proposed to decrease by $29,000, or 7.37% from the
amount budgeted in FY17/18a
Charges and Services revenues are proposed to increase by $51,292, or 4.41% from the
amount budgeted in FY17/18 due to charges for parks and recreation programs as well as
internal fund transfers.
Reimbursements related to the full opening of the Police Dispatch Center on May 1, 2017 and
the resulting revenues derived from partner and customer agencies served through this
facility are proposed to increase $7,224 or 0.35%.
In summary, FY18/19 Proposed Revenues are $479,423 (2.2%) higher than budgeted in FY17/18
and $110,062 (0.5%) higher than FY17/18 Estimated revenues. The primary reasons for the
proposed increase an increase in the City's portion of the State Sales Tax ($523,001), a proposed
14.7% increase in Video Gaming revenues ($55,000), and an increase in Charges of Services
Revenues (51,292). These increases are offset by reductions to Property Tax revenues of $25,000
0.50%), State Income Tax receipts of $140,358 (5.15%), and Fine and Forfeitures of $29,000
7.37%).
General Fund Expenditures - FY17/18 Budgeted, FY17/18 Estimated, FY18/19 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), and Parks and Recreation (100.41).
In addition, the General Fund is the funding source for all capital improvement and capital equipment
projects that are not related to water and/or sewer improvements or maintenance projects as these
are funded through the Water and Sewer Fund and Capital Development Fund. General Fund capital
improvement and capital equipment projects include any project over $10,000 related to public
facility improvements and maintenance items, police vehicle and equipment acquisition or
replacement, non -police vehicle acquisition or replacement, park improvements, and
stormwater/drainage improvements. As a frame of reference, the FY18/19-FY21/22 Capital
Improvement Program contains more than $55 million in General Fund projects, including more than
44 million in local street improvements. Without a doubt, the needs identified in the Capital
Improvement Program far exceed the funding available for them.
Finally, the General Fund also serves as a funding source for revenue transfers to other municipal
accounts found within Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Internal Service Funds, and
Fiduciary Funds.
FY17/18 Budgeted Expenditures
In FY17/18 budgeted expenditures were $23,258,623, budgeted capital expenditures were
1,443,979. Budgeted operating expenditures were $21,814,644 for FY17/18. While this amount
reflected a decrease of $1,695,432 (6.8%) from the FY16/17 Actual expenditures (Column H, Row
35), much of this decrease was due decreased Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment
expenditures.
FY17/18 Estimated Expenditures
In general, City Administration -including Department Directors, Superintendents, Managers -
closely monitor expenditures throughout the year to ensure that operating budgets stay within the
approved amounts. Fiscal diligence on behalf of all of these individuals most often results in
expenditures being less than the amount budgeted. This then can be reviewed and adjusted
accordingly as part of the succeeding year budget development.
For FY17/18, operating expenditures are estimated at $21,833,358, or $18,714 (0.09%) more than
the budgeted amount of $21,814,644. A budget amendment was completed in the dispatch budget
for $72,292 eliminating the budget overage. Highlights of changes to FY17/18 Estimated
Expenditures include:
Reduced Personnel costs of $152,100 (0.9%) resulting from decreased insurance costs from
the IUOE 150 union as well as the new insurance consortium.
Contractual costs are estimated at $86,225 (4.5%) more than the original budget. A budget
amendment was completed for the dispatch contractual services account for $72,292 making
the overage only $13,933 which can be attributed to increased street lighting costs.
Supply costs are estimated at $85,255 (10.70/o) more than budget. This is largely due to
purchases of refuse stickers that are recouped through revenues and the tree program that
was budgeted in FY16/17, but spent in FY17/18 and a grant was received to cover these
expenses.
Other estimated expenditure are estimated at $6661ess than the original budget.
Capital Outlay expenditures are $1061361 more than the original budget, but a budget
amendment was completed for $128,684 for roof top units and dispatch equipment.
Note: City Administration anticipates changes to FY17/18 Estimated expenditures due to increases
or decreases in revenues and expenses through the end of the fiscal year.
FY18/19 Proposed Expenditures
FY18/19 Proposed operating expenditures represent an increase of $236,697 (1.09%) from the
FY17/18 operating Budget amount of $21,814,644. It is important to note that the FY17/18 Budget
amount included a transfer of $1,429,579 for Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment funding
which was completed with the FY16/17 audit, while the FY18/19 Proposed amount includes
1,406,500 in funding for capital. Highlights of changes to General Fund%Expenditures proposed for
FY18/19 include:
Personnel costs are proposed at $188,094, or 1.13% higher in FY18/19 than budgeted in
FY17/18. Personnel costs include salaries, overtime, health/dental/life/vision insurance,
FICA, IMRF retirement, and uniforms. There are number of reasons for this increase.
1. Personnel costs related to salaries only for employees covered by collective
bargaining units - IUOE Local 150 (Public Works, Parks employees), FOP Unit 1
Police Patrol), and FOP Unit 2 (Dispatch) - account for $185,427 of the identified
I
ncrease from FY17/18 to FY18/19.
2. Police Pension costs are proposed at $2,019,703, an increase of $145,484. Police
Pension costs are determined by an actuary retained by the Police Pension Board and
are based on a number of factors, including wages, investment rate, and age of the
workforce. The City has committed annually to funding the amount determined by
the actuary in order to meet a required deadline for full funding by 2030.
3. Non -bargaining unit employees and Police Sergeants account for a total of $96,382 of
the Personnel cost increase. Police Sergeants and other non -bargaining employees
receive wage increases based on a combination of the previous year's Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Areas (CPI-U), which was 1.7% in 2017, and an opportunity for
an additional merit increase based on performance evaluations. The target increase
average for FY18/19 for these employees is 2.75%, with some employees receiving
less than this amount and some receiving more. This will be addressed later as part
of the Personnel Summary - Wages discussion.
4. Health insurance costs are proposed to decrease $174,742 due to IUOE Local 150
insurance tier changes as well as joining Intergovernmental Personnel Benefit
Cooperative for all non -bargaining unit employees.
50
Contractual costs are anticipated to decrease by $32,247 (1.68%) from the amount budgeted
in FY17/18.
Supplies expenditures are proposed increase by 1.8470 ($14,585) primarily due to increased
forestry costs for trees.
Other expenditures are anticipated to decrease by $1,550 (0.22%).
General Fund -Fund Balance
On February 1, 2016 City Council adopted a new Fund Balance and Reserve Policy that, in summary,
established principles and parameters to which balances for all municipal funds would be defined at
the beginning of each budget period. This policy, which also meets the reporting requirements of
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 54, which requires the formal adoption
of a policy for the classification of fund balances to categories other than "unassigned", was
established to provide financial stability in the various municipal funds, ensure adequate cash flow
for operations, and provide some assurance that the City will be able to respond to emergencies with
fiscal strength.
In regards to the General Fund Fund Balance, specifically, the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy states:
General Fund -The unrestricted fund balance target should be set at 120 (4 months)
of estimated operating expenditures including those expenditures reported in other
Governmental Funds that receive annual operating transfers, with the exception of
transfers intended to fund capital projects. If the unreserved fund balance falls below
120, a plan will be developed to return to the target balance. If the unreserved fund
balance reaches a low of 90-day (3 months), the plan will be implemented to return to
the fund balance to the target within a reasonable amount of time. One time revenues
shall not be used to fund current operations."
This level offund 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
ofgovernment or agency;
Ensure the continued, timely repayment of debt obligations that the City may have
in the event of a financial downturn;
Provide a sufficient cash flow for daily financial needs at all times; and,
Provide a funding source for unanticipated expenditures or emergencies that may
occur.
As identified, the parameters in this policy help to guide the City Administration in the development
of the annual budget by ensuring that the General Fund Budget is presented as balanced, revenues
over expenditures, while maintaining this reserve. Further, the establishment of the target minimum
of 120 days provides clarity in identifying the level of funding that is available - once revenues,
expenditures and fund balance are identified - to address the City's capital needs. In other words,
any funds remaining after meeting the operational and reserve needs of the municipality are
Assigned for Capital."
51
In reviewing the General Fund Fund Balance as part of this discussion, the FY17/18 Budget includes
a beginning fund balance of $7,303,780 based on FY16/17 audited financial information. Based on
FY17/18 budgeted revenues and operating expenditures, it was anticipated that the ending fund
balance would be $7,305,053; the ending unassigned 120 day fund balance at $7,283,317; with
21,736 remaining to be assigned for capital in developing the FY18/19 Budget.
The FY18/19 Budget then identifies a beginning fund balance of $7,549,339. As in the discussion
above, this amount will most likely change upon completion of the annual audit however this is not
done until September/October, 4-S months after the budget is adopted and implemented. The
FY18/19 unassigned and assigned for capital amounts are variable depending on the amount
identified for capital projects (discussed later in this document).

General Fund Operating Budgets - Overview
This section includes the budgets for all operating departments funded through the General Fund.
General Fund Operating Departments include - 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).
While these expenditures have already been summarized, in total, as part of the previous discussion
A General Fund Revenues and Expenditures, the information contained in each of the following
sections will provide details regarding each operating department. The narrative below is a
summary overview of sections that follow.
General Administration (100.01)
Overall, the Administration operating budget is proposed to decrease by $511,778 or 35.54% in
FY18/19 less capital expenses of $1,406,500). As identified earlier, the reason for this significant
decrease is the result of the formation of separate budgets for the Human Resources and Economic
Development functions and the transfer of all related costs into those budget accounts.
Salary/Benefit costs are identified to decrease by a net of $367,369 or 51.6% and Health Insurance
expenditures are proposed to decrease by $40,510, or 38.5%.
Contractual Services expenditures -which includes the mosquito abatement program, participation
in the countywide Dial -A -Ride program, and building maintenance for the municipal center are
identified for a net decrease of $107,810 (23.29%) due to a decrease in the amount of funding that
the City pays for public transportation services as part of the Dial -A -Ride Program in the Contractual
line item, and reclassifying expenses for Telephone Costs to the Information Technology Budget.
Corporate Legal Fees include the City Attorney, Traffic Attorney and Collective Bargaining
representation and are identified to decrease $25,000 in FY18/19.
Supplies expenditures are proposed to increase by (t8,250 due to increased garbage sticker
purchases and Other expenditures -which includes Administrative Expenses and internal transfers
for Risk Management and Information Technology - is proposed to decrease by $4,339.
Elected Officials (100.02)
The Elected Officials budget is proposed for an $807 decrease, or 0.8%, based on transferring
telephone costs to the Information Technology budget.
Community Development (100.03)
The Community Development budget is proposed at a decrease of $133,625, or 15.69%.
Salary/Benefit costs are budgeted to decrease by $112,878 (15.73%), including decreases in Health,
Life and Dental Insurance. Contractual Services are identified to decrease by $10,800
20.87%). Approximately 75% of property maintenance costs are recovered through liens. Supplies
will increase by $250 (3.03%), while the internal transfer for Information Technology will decrease
by $8,647. Most of the decreases within this department are shifts of employees and expenses to the
Economic Development Department as some costs were shared in previous budgets.

Finance (100.04)
Salary/Benefit costs are anticipated to increase by $28,352 (6.96%) due to an office employee going
to full-time status, Contractual costs decrease by $2,300, and Supplies remain flat.
Human Resources (100.05)
All Salary/Benefit costs for the Human Resource Director have been reclassified to the Human
Resources budget as well as expenses for Wellness, Medical Services, and Training.
Economic Development (100.06)
Salary/Benefit costs for the Director of Economic Development were reclassified from the General
Administration budget, the Economic Development Coordinator was reclassified from Community
Development, and the Economic Development Assistant was reclassified from the Parks
Department. Expenses were added for Zoning Maps and Comprehensive Plan updates, and
training/conferences/seminars and a portion of these expenses were reclassified from the
Community Development budget.
Police (100.22)
The Police budget is proposed at an overall increase of $291,991, or 3.14% from FY17/18. While
costs have been reduced in many line items, Salary/Benefit costs are identified to increase by
293,443 due to adjustments to FOP bargaining unit salaries ($147,940), a decrease to health
insurance costs ($54,442) and, most significantly, the transfer for Police Pension of $145,484. As
discussed earlier Police Pension costs are determined by an actuary retained by the Police Pension
Board and are based on a number of factors, including wages, investment rate, and age of the
workforce. The City has committed annually to funding the amount determined by the actuarial in
order to meet a required deadline for full funding by 2030.
Dispatch Center (100.23)
FY18/19 represents the second full year of operation for the fully developed, and staffed, dispatch
center. The FY17/18 budget established the baseline budget for the dispatch center moving
forward. The proposed FY18/19 budget has been presented and approved by the partners of the
dispatch center. The total amount proposed for the dispatch center in FY18/19 is $2,482,908. As a
reminder, this amount is offset by more than $1.7 million 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 inthe General Fund - Revenues, Expenditures and Fund Balance Summary
sheet.
Public Works Administration (100.30)
The overall Public Works Administration budget is proposed to increase by $3,049 (0.68%) primarily
due Salaries/Benefits.
Public Works Streets (100.33)
The FY18/19 Public Works Streets budget is proposed to increase by a total of $50,562 (1.68%) from
FY17/18. Salaries/Benefits are proposed to decrease by 5,037 due to the IUOE Insurance premiums
56
decreasing. Additionally, Contractual costs have been increased to account for contract mowing,
Street Lighting Costs have been increased by $35,000 and Materials and Supplies costs are proposed
higher due to increasing the forestry budget.
Parks and Recreation (100.41)
As a reminder, the Parks and Recreation budget encompasses not only personnel and other
operational costs of the Parks Maintenance Division, which includes bargaining unit employees, but
also all programming expenses related to the Recreation Division not associated with the McHenry
Recreation Center. Revenues from recreation programming, reflected in General Fund Revenues,
offset many of these costs.
As proposed in FY18/19, Salary/Benefit costs are identified to decrease by a total of $13,489
0.92%); Contractual Services to increase by $5,997 (1.35%); Supplies to increase by $12,300
6.42%); and, Other costs to decrease by $951. The overall Parks and Recreation budget is proposed
at 0.17% lower.

Personnel Summary of Wages - All Funds
Overview
Prior to presenting a summary of General Fund operating departments it is important to define that the
4010 Salaries" budget line items in each operating budget include more than just employee wage costs
but also includes annual payouts for sick time per the City's Personnel Manual. In addition, the 4010 line
item for all but the Police budget is a combined total of both bargaining and non -bargaining employees
within that specific budget. As such, the 4010 line items in each operating budget show different
percentage variances.
In an effort to provide the reader with a more accurate summary of wages, staff has developed the
attached Personnel Summary — Wages Only (All Funds) sheet. This sheet includes a summary of wages
only (e.g., no benefits, sick day buyouts, etc.) as an overview of all municipal departments, and identifies
the net then by operating budget and/or fund. Each summary presents non -bargaining and bargaining
employees separately, and identifies the FY17/18 Budgeted wages, FY17/18 Estimated wages, FY18/19
Proposed wages, the monetary variance from the FY17/18 Estimated wages and the FY18/19 Proposed
wages, and the percent variance from the FY17/18 Estimated wages to the FY18/19 Proposed wages.
Note that the last two columns is a comparison of estimated to proposed wages as distinct from a
budgeted to proposed comparison since the FY18/19 Proposed wages are based on an increase from
the FY17/18 Estimated wages. In general, significant increases or decreases in dollar amounts and
percentages, as identified, are the result of employee reassignment or reclassification or increases and
decreases in the actual number of employees.
One example of this is the decrease in General Administration. Based on the creation of separate budget
accounts for Human Resources and Economic Development in FY18/19, the salaries for the Human
Resources Director and salaries for the Director of Economic Development, Economic Development
Coordinator, and an Economic Development Office Assistant (Row 36) were moved into the corresponding
budgets. An example of a significant increase is in the Finance Department which is the result of the
reclassification of an office employee from the Parks Department.
Non -Bargaining Unit Employees
FY18/19 is the third year that non -bargaining employee wages are to be determined based on a
combination of an identifiable "Cost of Living Adjustment" (COLA) in the form of the previous calendar
year's Consumer Price Index for All Urban Areas (CPI-U) and merit. Previously, (and before the 2007/2008
recession), non -bargaining employees received automatic "step" adjustments each year (which were in
the range of 3%-4%) and a COLA increase. While annual evaluations were undertaken, the actual amount
of wage increase was not merit -based.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market
basket of goods and services. The CPI for All Urban Consumers, or CPI-U, applies to approximately 88%
of the nation's population, including McHenry County. CPI-U is an economic indicator and is the most
widely used measure to determine inflation and indexation (i.e., adjusting income payments). As a
component of McHenry's compensation system for non -bargaining unit employees, the CPI-U ending in
December of each year, as determined by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, serves as the base
salary increase the succeeding municipal fiscal year (May 1st). To be eligible for this base increase an
employee must receive an overall average of at least 3.0 out of 5.0 on the Annual Employee Performance
Evaluation. Individuals falling below a 3.0 are not eligible for a CPI-U adjustment and are placed on a
performance improvement plan. The CPI-U average since 1992 is 2.128% and the CPI-U for the period
ending December 2017 is 1.7% (down from 2.1% from the previous December).
In addition, as identified above, non -bargaining employees are also eligible for a merit increase based on
the results of annual performance evaluations. This is a percentage of salary over and above the CPI-U
wage adjustment and the amount of merit available varies based on funding identified in the budget.
Because performance evaluations are not completed until after the budget process an overall average for
non -bargaining unit employees is used for the purpose of developing the budget. For FY18/19 this amount
is identified at 2.75%. This would provide for a 1.7% CPI-U adjustment with an additional average merit
increase of 1.05%. Therefore, most non -bargaining unit rows will show "2.75%" as the percent variance
from FY17/18 Estimated to FY18/19 Proposed. As described earlier, percentages higher or lower than the
2.75% are the result of specific changes within that department resulting in an increase or decrease to the
FY17/18 Estimated amount upon which the FY18/19 Proposed amount is based.
The FY18/19 Budget, as proposed, includes a net DECREASE (CPI-U +Merit) for all non -bargaining unit
employees, including police Sergeants, of $22,919 (1.19%) from the FY17/18 Estimated amount. This is
primarily due to the retirement of two long-time employees and the decision to leave one full-time
position in Community Development vacant (Plans Reviewer). Of note, the FY18/19 Proposed amount for
non -bargaining employees and police sergeants ($4,253,808) is an increase of only $524 from the FY17/18
Budget amount of $4,253,284.
Bargaining Unit Employees
Unlike non -bargaining employees, bargaining unit employee wages are not based on merit or the CPI-U.
Rather, increases for IUOE 150 (Public Works, Parks), FOP Unit 1 (Patrol) and FOP Unit 2 (Dispatchers,
Records Clerks, CSOs) are based on step increases included in their respective collective bargaining unit
agreements and negotiated "Cost of Living Adjustments" (COLA). As such, the percentages identified for
bargaining unit wages are the result of approved contractual agreements. Significant increases (such as
FOP Unit 2) are the result of an increased number of employees or in the transfer of employees from one
operating division to another (such as Public Works — Streets and Water, Sewer, Utility).
Whether bargaining ornon-bargaining, the dollar amounts shown on this sheet are included in the "4010
Salaries" line items of the operating department budgets as presented below.

General Administration - Overview
The General Administration Budget contains personnel
and operational functions related to the provision of
general administrative services and, in FY18/19, includes
capital projects expenditures from the General Fund
Balance as directed by City Council. New in FY18/19, due
to operational/department restructuring, economic
development and human resources functions have been
formed under separate departmental budgets (Economic
Development and Human Resources) and, as such, all related expenditures are now found within
these. Next, municipal center building and grounds maintenance activities are now included under
the Department of Community Development. Finally, capital projects to be funded through the
General Fund Balance will be accounted for in this fund for FY18/19. Due to all of these changes, the
General Administration budget is substantially increased from previous years. While personnel costs
are reduced $409,032 from the transfer of personnel to other departments, "Other" costs related to
Public Improvements have increased the budget by $1,406,500.
The Office of the City Administrator, which includes the positions of City Administrator and Deputy
City Clerk/Executive Assistant, 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. The City Administrator is also responsible for the
direction of Information Technology services.

Officials
Elected Officials - Overview
The Elected Officials Budget contains personnel
and operational functions related to the elected
positions of the municipality. These include the
Office of the Mayor, the seven (7) Aldermen, and
the City Clerk. The primary functions of these
elected positions are described below.
The Office of the Mayor provides leadership,
initiative, and direction necessary to provide quality services to the citizens of McHenry. The Mayor
interacts continuously with the appointed City Administrator in ensuring that the established
policies and ordinances of the municipality, as set by the City Council, are carried out by the various
departments, divisions and employees of the city.

Human Resources - Overview
The Department of Human Resources and Director of Human
Resources coordinates the employee and risk related functions of the
City. 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. ReS%2 irrPc
Through the establishment of the McHenry Recreation Center, the
staffing size of The City has grown to have an average of 275 full and
permanent part time employees. During the summer season this
increases to around 330 employees. Prior to FY18/19, human
resources functions and related expenditures were found within the General Administration Budget.
Given the growing specialization of human resources issues, these have now been separated in to this
separate budget fund. This is the reason that no individualized budget information is available prior
to FY18/19.
In addition to human resources functions, the Director of Human Resources is also responsible for
the point -of -service administrative personnel that staff the front counter of the Municipal Center.
E:31
Human Resources - Organizational Chart
Human Resources - FY17/16 Accomplishments
In Time: Scheduling &Attendance system. HR &payroll spent much of 2017 integrating the
City's attendance, scheduling and payroll systems with In Time. This system will eliminate the
paper time sheets that currently take three days and multiple people to verify and process.
Roll out is expected I the 1st quarter of 2018.
IPBC Intergovernmental Public Benefit Cooperative. Reduces and balances rising health
insurance costs. Implemented IPBC during 3rd and 4th quarters of 2017.
BenefitSolver. This online open enrollment system allowed for a more efficient open
enrollment and replaced all paper versions previously used by the City. This is paid through
IPBC, so no additional cost to the City.
Classification &Compensation Study - While a consultant was hired to conduct the internal
and external surveys, much work on job descriptions and internal equity was and continues
to be done by Human Resources. This will ensure our compensation plan is equitable to other
similar municipalities and ensure that our positions are classified appropriately under the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
Family &Medical Leave -This remains on the list due to the volume of City employees on
FMLA during this year.
Five Year Staffing Plan- This project has been started and could be complete by the end of
the fiscal year. Analyze the current staffing situation, gain feedback from directors on
forecasted staffing needs and create a five year plan.
Employee Relations - A significant amount of time is being spent on employee
relations/employee conflict issues and performance related issues. Those that need it are
receiving the coaching and guidance needed to resolve and improve issues at the employee
level. Some larger issues have been referred to employee assistance program (EAP) for a
higher level of intervention.
Recruiting & Onboarding -While this is a core component of human resources, this
department has recruited a high number of new employees leading to a significant increase in
the time spent on pre -employment and employment activities.
Human Resources - FY18/19 Goals & Objectives
Complete implementation of In Time Scheduling & Attendance software
Implement FLMA software to ensure compliance and track FLMA
PowerDMS. This is a holdover from the previous year. This software will manage documents
and the distribution of documents such as the employee handbook and policies.
Continue to update Employee Handbook and use PowerDMS for distribution to employees
and compliance.
Create Performance Management system including evaluation tool.
Analyze volume of work at front counter and adjust staffing after possible retirement of
existing staff.

Chief of Police and an administrative assistant. The Support Services Division and Field Operations
Division are each headed by Division Commanders who report to the Deputy Chief of Police. The

structured under one of the following divisistons. 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 Patrol Section
is divided into three shifts in order to provide 24-hour police services. Each shift is supervised
by two Sergeants. Uniformed Patrol Officers and one Community Service Officer (CSO) are
responsible for partnering with the community to protect life and property and to maintain peace,
order and safety. In addition, this Division handles special assignments, self -initiated activities and
addresses community concerns. Additional Units within Field Operations include; Field Training Unit,

Team, Mobile Field Force Officers and Tactical Response Officers. Support
Services Division The

that happen in McHenry. Detectives are able to investigate crimes that are often complex and
may extend over a significant period of time and geographical area. The cases are investigated
until an arrest is made or there are no longer leads to pursue. Many of the investigators have
received specialized training in the investigation of: homicides, child abuse, sexual assaults,
juvenile delinquency, crime scene processing, felony property crimes, robberies, felony
crimes against persons and cybercrime.

Enforcement (CALEA) has been an ongoing partnership for the police department since 2002. The
purpose of CALEA is to improve the delivery of public safety services, primarily by: maintaining a
body of standards, developed by public safety practitioners, covering a wide range of up-to-date
public safety initiatives; establishing and administering an accreditation process; and recognizing
professional excellence.

Community Outreach
During FY 2017/18 the McHenry Police Department built upon their existing Public Relations efforts
by establishing a full-time Public Affairs Position within the agency. This position is filled by a current
police officer who is assigned these new responsibilities. Primary responsibilities of the position
include; management of agency social media, public information tasks, community outreach for
citizens and businesses regarding training opportunities and the support and participation of local
charity events.
The McHenry Police Department, in an effort to accomplish the agency's mission, participates in
many community out, events each year. Below highlights some of the more notable events from
FY 2016/17.
Child Safety Seat Installations
With support from IDOT Grant Funding and business partners within the community, the McHenry
Police Department has seen a growing success with its Car Seat Installation Team. This team offers
free installation of child safety seats to members of the community by licensed installation
technicians. Currently the police department has 8 certified technicians on our team and together
they have held 8 community events and installed over 100 car seats.
Coffee with the Chief
Since 2012, the police department has held an active "Coffee with the ChieF' Program. Currently this
program is a partnership with the McHenry Public Library. This public meeting is offered to
residents of McHenry as part of the McHenry Police Department's continued commitment in keeping
our citizens and community informed about their police department. These events are opportunities
for the Chief to obtain face to face feedback from our citizens. In FY 2017/18, topics presented
113
included Crime Scene Investigations, Crisis Intervention, Police Use of Technology, and the
department's Canine Unit.
School Safety
In FY 2017/18 the McHenry Police Department presented multiple school safety presentations at the
grade school level in our continuing effort to provide a safe environment for our children. These
presentations included uniformed officers teaching children on topics such as; Stranger Danger,
Summer Safety, Walking to School and Pedestrian Safety. These presentations were done
cooperatively with our Adopt -A -School program efforts. In addition, the Department partnered with
school administrators to conduct lockdown drills at each school. These drills are conducted to help
our schools prepare for a critical incident and are required by state law. In FY 2016/17, the
department continued to conduct double the required amount of training and lockdown drills that
are required by law. These continued efforts will help insure the safety of our children.
Adopt -A -School Program
In FY 2017/18, the McHenry Police Department continued the agency's "Adopt -A -School"
program. This program pairs individual officers with specific grade schools in town to increase
awareness and safety within those schools. The program entails individual dayshift patrol officers
being assigned there own specific grade school within the community. The objective is for the
officers to get to know the faculty and students at their respective school so that the police
department can provide a better service. This program involves activities such as foot patrols,
classroom instruction blocks, training exercises, and a community approach to solving problems
within our schools. The plan is designed to further the McHenry Police Department's mission of
increasing school safety in our local schools.
Garden Quarter Resource Center
The Garden Quarter Resource Center is a non-profit organization that focusses on providing services
to McHenry's Hispanic population and Latino community. Since its inception the McHenry Police
Department has been a community partner with the Garden Quarter Resource Center. Over the years
the City has seen the Resource Center grow tremendously and with the FY 2017/18 over 150 children
and 180 adults obtained services. The center is a non-profit organization that focusses on helping at -
risk youth, providing academic support, providing positive adult role models, and education adult
parents on how to play a positive role in their child's life. The Police Department takes an active role
by introducing officers in their educational programs and extra -curricular activities. The impact of
this participation has help to build strong relationships with our Latino community.
Special Olympics Illinois
Special Olympics is a global organization that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative
power and joy of sport, every day around the world. Through programming in sports, health,
education and community building, Special Olympics is changing the lives of people with intellectual
disabilities solving the global injustice, isolation, intolerance and inactivity they face. Special
Olympics Illinois provides opportunities for more than 22,500 athletes, more than 20,000 Young
Athletes, 45,000 volunteers and thousands more people statewide through 18 area programs in all
102 counties of the state.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the single largest year-round fundraising vehicle benefiting
Special Olympics Illinois. The annual intrastate relay and its various fundraising projects have two
goals: to raise money and to gain awareness for the athletes who participate in Special Olympics
Illinois. The Law Enforcement Torch Run has raised nearly $43 million over 31 years while increasing
awareness of Special Olympics athletes and their accomplishments.
114
In order to raise funds for this worthwhile cause, the McHenry Police Department participated in the
Cop on Top event at Dunkin' Donuts, Polar Plunge, Plane Pull and Butter Burger and Badge Event at
Culvers. Our combined efforts helped to raise over $15,700.00. In June of 2017 several officers
participated in a leg of the Torch Run that ended at our own Knox Park and attended the Illinois
Special Olympics Games as coaches.
No Shave Fundraiser
During the FY 2017/18 Chief Birk instituted a new fundraising campaign to benefit those in need
during the winter months. This campaign allowed officers to grow beards by making personal
contributions to specific charities. In November officers and employees personally contributed over
1,000 to breast cancer research. In December officers and employees paid over $800 to grow beards
all of which was used towards a McHenry Family in need at Christmas. Presents were bought and
three children and their aunt were surprised for Christmas Day! In January, February and March
officers were able to grow beards if they participated in the annual St. Baldrick's Event. Over a dozen
officers and employees joined the police department's St. Baldrick Team raising thousands of dollars
and shaved their heads for an amazing cause.

Funding Opportunities
The overall goal of NERCOM is to offer excellence in emergency dispatch services at a cost that is
competitive for all participating governmental agencies. NERCOM is proud to services sixteen (16)
total agencies at an operational cost that is significantly lower than all other PSAPs, proving that
consolidation can save money without sacrificing service.
During the FY 2017/18 the McHenry Police Department applied for and was awarded grant funding
by the State of Illinois to help offset the cost of expanded our center into a regional dispatch center.

Parks and Recreation - Overview
Mc"U'' YK773iParks & Recreation Department
Mission
It is the mission of the Parks and Recreation Department to
provide planned recreation programs and maintain facilities
and parks to meet the recreational and park facility needs of
the public, recognizing that leisure activities, facilities, and
open spaces are important to individuals, families, and
community life.
The Parks and Recreation Department continues to expand
on the large strides made as a department in 2016/17. The core of this success has been the
Recreation Center. The facility has proven to be the heart of all recreation needs for our community
and served to be a community hub with over 76,000 visits to the center last year alone. The
overwhelming success has necessitated the expansion of the existing parking lot, which will occur in
the Spring of 2018. Finally, the facility has also cemented the campus feel of the Municipal Center,
Recreation Center and adjoining Knox Park connecting all with a mile long paved bike path that was
installed through an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program Grant. Staff has been successful
at meeting the challenge of making the facility financially solvent while also meeting the expanding
recreation interests of the residents of McHenry.
In 2017/18 the Department completed its first Community Needs Assessment since 2004. The
statistically valid survey sent questionnaires to over 4,000 individuals in our community collecting
responses that representative of our community demographics. The survey provided invaluable
information on existing facilities and programming. More importantly it provided a road map of
where our residents would like to see the Department expand and improve. Expansion of the
recreation center was at the forefront of most respondents' top priorities, primarily an indoor pool
and expanding indoor aquatic offerings.
Finally, a significant new community amenity to be constructed in FY17/18 is the Miller Riverfront
Park Public Boat Ramp. In partnership with the Village of Johnsburg and Village of Lakemoor, the
City was able to acquire boat ramp rights in FY16/17 to be able to complete the construction of a
boat ramp that is more than 25 years in the making at Miller Riverfront Park. No doubt that this will
provide a unique service to residents of McHenry, Johnsburg and Lakemoor, but also visitors to the
community.
The Recreation Division of the Parks and Recreation Department consists of four full-time and one
part-time employees on the recreation side. Director of Parks and Recreation Bill Hobson works
alongside Athletics and Aquatics Supervisor Nicole Thompson, Recreation Supervisor Cindy Witt,
Facility Coordinator Christine Borgerding and Fitness Coordinator Nicole Schaller 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.
146
The Parks Division, consisting of Superintendent of Parks and Downtown Maintenance Pat Gormak,
Assistant Superintendent Jeff Friedle and five (5) full-time Parks Maintenance Workers continue to
tackle the massive task of maintaining 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.

Programs
Approximately 400 sessions of general recreation programs, trips and events were offered.
As of mid -February, there have been approximately 3000 registrations for general
recreation.
McHenry Safety Town was built in the spring of 2017 with sponsorship, donations and
volunteer building support from McHenry C v Sherwin-Williams, Jessup Manufacturing,
The Home Depot, Behr, Illinois Traffic Control & Protection, Big R, Jimmy Johns, Riverside
Bakery and Dunkin' Donuts. Eight buildings were constructed and placed on the repurposed
concrete pad located at the Skate Park in Knox Park. The concrete pad was painted to look
like a "mini town" with streets, sidewalks and city blocks. A week-long camp and several
clinics were held for children ages 4-6. Curriculum was built and included instruction, fun
activities and hands-on learning on the safety topics of fire, bicycle, stranger -danger,
pedestrian and more.
The Summer Day Camp was successful this summer with over 675 registrations, more than
twice as many as the previous summer. New Mini Explorers Camp clinics were added for
children ages 4-6 and received over 120 registrations. Kids and their counselors had a great
time playing in the parks, swimming and going on adventurous field trips.
Spring, winter and fall dance classes are serving additional younger children in the
community. The 8-month long program is currently running with over 140 students. Adult
dance and Ballroom dance are also well attended.
Junior Rangers classes, McHenry Park Quest and GeoTour Passport were introduced this
past summer. Park Quest and GeoTour are self -guided and provided great opportunities to
get people in local parks. Junior Rangers and McHenry Park Quest will continue in 2018.
149
Children's activities were offered at all city band concerts when the City Band played.
Adult field trips were reintroduced in winter 2018, scheduled cooperatively with Crystal
Lake, Huntley and Barrington Park Districts. Each agency is responsible for the creation of 1
to 2 trips per season which are then offered through all agencies. This helps to fill the trips
and avoid cancellations.
Several no -school day camps and trips were held this year. Camp days are held during the
holiday and spring -break weeks. Trips are held on days of Parent/Teacher Conferences.
There were approximately 100 registrations for these events.
Additional General Recreation programs were offered working with the following local
businesses:

life luncheons.

will look at adding archery tag this summer to draw birthday parties and increase our archery
program offerings.
150
For 2018, athletics will be taking over the MIB program in McHenry to run in house basketball
leagues for grades K-8th. We will also venture into summer sports camps along with
redeveloping existing programs to feeder into our athletic affiliate groups.
The athletics sector is partnering with Northern United Futbol Club to offer our soccer
programs in partnership with their organization. We will make similar steps to do the same
with other youth affiliate groups in the area.
The athletic supervisor met with all the city associated athletic affiliate groups to organize a
joint marketing magazine for athletics in McHenry. The organizations agreed to meet
throughout the year to develop local events and joint efforts for our programs in the area.

We developed a new water skiing clinic with the Wonder Lake swim team which we will offer
again in 2018. We also offered more sailing classes through the Community Sailing School at
Pistakee Bay. The McHenry Marlins program expanded to offer a junior Swim Team program
to help swimmers prepare and learn the world of competitive swimming in a relaxed
environment. For 2018, we are adding a masters swim program, aqua boot camp, and open
water swim program.
New special events were offered to the community and pool pass holders. We developed a
free boat rental day and member only night swim for pass holders. We also developed a start
to summer kickoff party and end of the season summer bashes.
We installed an Aqua Zip'N at the pool to offer a new element for patrons to enjoy. We also
made improvements to the chemical room that helped our pool operate and maintain proper
chemical levels. We purchased new pool equipment, lounge chairs, and lane lines to help the
overall look and appeal of the facility.
At the beach, we bought the Wibit hurdle element in addition to our 2016 Wibit wiggle bridge.
We added corcls and power paddlers to our boat arsenal. For 2018, we look to continue
expanding our inflatable course and boats with paddle boards, double kayaks, and pedal
boats.
We had 46 pool party rentals. We will expand this offering by venturing into beach birthday
parties along with semi -private parties.
The McHenry Marlins swim team had 93 swimmers during the summer season. The program
brought in a total of $32,502 in revenue. They finished 3 d in the Northern Illinois Summer
Swim Conference. Our winter swim team had a total of 133 swimmers and a revenue of
151
54,631. The winter team has 21 swimmers with Illinois Swimming Inc. [ISI)/USA swimming
regional cuts times. We have 3 winter swimmers with ISI championship cut times. Six of our
swimmers qualified for the National Club Swimming Association meet in Orlando.
A McHenry Marlins swimmer was honored at the fall 2017 Illinois Swimming Inc. annual
banquet where he received a state award due to his number of regional and state cut top
finishes for the 2016 season.
Special Events
Over Fiesta Days, we had 215 people enjoy the McHenry River Run on Saturday morning.
Wednesday night, we had 45 youth compete in the open track meet.
Our first annual Day of Play brought families out to the recreation center to work out, get a
glimpse of summer programs, enjoy a petting zoo, race on an inflatable obstacle course,
participate in a scavenger hunt, and get a glimpse of the McHenry farmer's market. We will
be making this an annual even to occur the 1st weekend of May.
Our first annual Breakfast with the Bunny served 175 parents and children a pancake
breakfast on April 2. Families enjoyed taking pictures with the bunny, participated in an egg
hunt, made some crafts, and interacted with other families. The event for 2018 has been
limited to 100 guests due to space constraints, and we already have 75 people signed up.
Jewel of McHenry provided generous supplies for the breakfast helping offset the cost of the
event.

Marketing
The parks department has pushed to improve our marketing efforts and customer response
rates through social media, digital, and print marketing efforts.
Print marketing efforts have included flyers and brochures going out to local school districts
in McHenry, Johnsburg, and Wonder Lake. We have placed our information strategically
around the building in slat boards, child care, at the front desk, and entry/exit doors. Our
annual brochures continue to be mailed out to past participants and McHenry households
along with being available at the local libraries in the area. The department invested in a Shaw
media plan that includes two medium print ads in the Northwest Herald twice a month which
we use to showcase facility promotions, special events, and upcoming program registrations.
We have developed a monthly calendar that showcases when programs start to help
participants and members see what is happening each month.
Digital marketing efforts have included updates to our department webpage including on-
line program calendars, program pictures, class descriptions, league schedules, program
information, exercise class schedules, on-line enrollment, and digital brochures. We have
utilized Facebook and Instagram to run paid program posts, share important schedule
changes, capture programs live, and push enrollment for programs. Our Shaw
Media agreement includes digital ads on their website twice a month. Our ads are currently
getting a digital click rate of .10% on their website which is above the industry average of
02%. We have utilized Mailchimp to distribute monthly newsletters to our members and
154
program participants of upcoming events and new program highlights. The department has
been utilizing Survey Monkey for the last two years to evaluate programs and make necessary
changes to increase program participation along with adjusting offerings.
The department completed an in -kind agreement with Kelsey Adams Photography to capture
our events year round for promotion in our brochures, marketing efforts, and social media
campaigns.

Audit Fund - Overview
The purpose of the Audit Fund is to account for expenses
incurred to complete the annual audit of the city's financial
statements. The State of Illinois requires that the City of
McHenry conducts an independent audit on an annual basis.
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.

Motor Fuel Tax Fund - Overview
The purpose of the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Fund is to provide
dedicated revenues from taxes on gasoline and diesel sales
primarily to road improvements and maintenance. Motor fuel
taxes are generated by a flat rate of cents per gallon, plus a sales
tax transfer. This sales tax transfer was eliminated by the State of
Illinois in 2000 and replace by certain vehicle registration fees. In
2010 the municipality issued a $3.5 million bond for local roadway
improvements and the majority of MFT expenditures are to service
this debt. The remaining amount is utilized for the purchase of
road salt, as a match to leverage other Federal and State road funds
e.g., Surface Transportation Program, Highway Safety
Improvement Program) and road maintenance.

Tax Increment Finance Fund - Overview
The Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Fund accounts for
revenues and expenditures related to the city's Downtown
Tax Increment Finance District, established in 2002. 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 which increase the value of
all properties within the area. Currently, due to stagnant
I values within the district, TIF revenues have remained relatively flat.

Recreation Center Fund - Overview
In March of 1999 the City Council passed a
resolution stating that 50% of developer
donation fees for parks were to be set aside for
the construction of a recreation center.
Consequently, the Recreation Center Fund was
created to account for these donations. In
addition, any future funding sources identified
for the construction of the facility would be
deposited in this fund and, further, the
expenditure of funds for the construction of a
recreation facility would be taken from this
fund.
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 was opened in February of 2016.
Construction was financed through a combination of cash payments from the Recreation Center Fund
and the issuance of debt. This was done to ensure that funding remained in the Recreation Center
Fund to cover any start-up operating shortfalls, to serve as capital improvement funding for facility
needs, or seed money for future expansions of recreation facilities.
To date, the McHenry Recreation Center has exceeded expectations. With more than 2,500 members
as of March 2018, revenues are sufficient to not only cover all operating costs but to also fund the
130,000 debt service. Importantly, no public tax dollars were used to construct the facility and no
tax dollars are required to operate the facility. The fund now accounts for the McHenry Recreation
Center operating budget and fund balance.

Recreation Center Fund - FYI //18 Accomplishments
Recreation Center
Recreation Center has been a major success in 2017. Through the end %J February 2018 we
had 2,500 active fitness members. 77% of those are residents. 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.
From March through end of December, the Rec Center received a total of 73,716 visits from
fitness members.
Group exercise classes, which are included in membership, have received 23,515 visits. This
reflects about 3 1 % of our members visit history.
The arrival of the Recreation Center and the expansion of fitness programming has lead to an
increase in health of those who choose to have a fitness membership. Members often
comment on how the exercise is contributing to weight loss, decrease in medication and an
improvement in overall strength and conditioning. We are seeing members exercise for
longer periods of time, more days each week and taking classes back to back more often. And
every day we welcome new faces into our facility.
The recreation center fund is on track to cover our operating expenses and is projecting to
have a surplus of s60,000 in our first year of operation.
The increased membership has lead to the addition of additional fitness equipment and the
constant evolvement of the group fitness class offering.
The expansion of the parking lot is also underway. The project will more than double the size
of the current Or and provide and overflow connection to the skate park gravel lot.
Finally, through the Community Needs Assessment conducted by an independent research
firmI a cross section of a representative population of McHenry residents were polled and
expressed strong interest in the potential expansion of the Recreation Center to include
indoor and outdoor aquatic facility offerings as well as a gymnasium with a walking track.
Additionally there was significant support to a willingness to pay for these added amenities.

Special Service Area 44 Fund - Overview
The Special Service Area (SSA) #4 Fund is to account for revenues and
expenses associated with annual debt service for a sewer project that
was completed in 2004 in the Lakewood Road Subdivision. SSA's allow
a city to levy a property tax on property within a defined area to fund
specific improvements. Through an SSA payments are spread equally
over the identified number of taxable lots rather than through
assessment (Special Assessment). The total amount of the SSA is
327,200 to expire in 2024.

Capital Improvements Fund - Overview
The purpose of the Capital Improvements Fund is to account
for funds identified for the maintenance and construction of
public infrastructure projects other than water and sewer
utilities. This includes roads and public facility maintenance,
improvements and/or construction. No operating costs are
included in the Capital Improvements Fund. Capital
Improvements Fund revenues are derived from transfers from
other funds, primarily the General Fund Assigned for Capital.
Projects included in the Capital Improvements Fund are identified through the capital improvements
planning process which culminates in the development of an annual five-year Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). The development of the CIP is an exercise that is undertaken, primarily, to ensure the City
Administration and City Council are able to identify the capital improvement and capital equipment
needs of the municipality. The document contains both Capital Improvement and Capital Equipment
projects, each with a cost of more than $10,000. The FY18/19 - FY22/23 CIP includes more than $60
million in projects and, due to the size and complexity of projects and the limited available funding,
it is not reasonable to believe that more than a handful of projects can be completed in any given
budget year.
Due to limited funds in FY18/19, the only projects identified for funding in the FY18/19 Budget are
related roadway projects that are being funded primarily through non -municipal sources. Total
project costs for FY18/19 (All Funds) are $2,754,502 however, the amounts shown below are for the
City's portion of funding.

Capital Equipment Fund - Overview
The Capital Equipment Fund is utilized to track annual
expenditures of equipment replacement (e.g., vehicles,
computer equipment) as identified in the five-year Capital
Improvement Plan. No operating costs are included in the
Capital Equipment Fund. Capital Equipment Fund revenues
are derived from transfers from other funds, primarily the
General Fund Assigned for Capital.
Like the Capital Improvements Fund, Capital Equipment Fund `' """""'''``' '
projects are identified through the capital improvements planning process which culminates in the
development of an annual five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The development of the CIP is
an exercise that is undertaken, primarily, to ensure the City Administration and City Council are able

Water & Sewer Fund - Overview
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 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 or
Wastewater Division and often required coordination with the other division to ensure adequate
manpower. The creation of the Utility Division established a more efficient methodology to handle
utility maintenance projects. 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 Lite operating and capital costs
for the Water, Wastewater and Utility Divisions. Importantly, water and sewer revenues are driven
by consumption and, as such, with a growing awareness of water conservancy (which the City
supports) and wetter than average summer months, consumption has been relatively flat over the
last two years.
Prior to FY15/16, water and sewer rates were adjusted annually based primarily on the Consumer
Price Index (CPI). Unfortunately, this CPI adjustment did not correlate to the actual cost of operations
for McHenry's Water and Wastewater Divisions and did not account for the specific capital
infrastructure needs of the municipality. This resulted in a shortfall in water and sewer revenues
and an inability to fund water and sewer capital projects of the existing systems. To address this 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.
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 Works.
f ifi
FY18/19 Water Division
FY18/19 Water Division operating expenditures are proposed at $2,271,953, an increase of
111,864 from FY17/18. This increase is due to the funding of the Utility Division transfer
again, the Utility Division is funded through contributions by water and wastewater).
Budgeted Operating Revenues for FY18/19 are short of budgeted operating expenditures by
86,381. Rates will be addressed after the budget is approved and discussed with Council
before they need to be adjusted in August.
It is estimated that the existing $2 capital base charge will generate $125,000 in FY18/19 for
capital projects. In FY18/19 this amount, along with Water and Sewer Fund Balance, will be
used to fund the following water system capital projects identified in the Water and Sewer
Fund CIP - $225,000 for water meter replacement; $30,000 for Well Inspection/Maintenance
and Repair; and, $45,000 for the Water Division Motor Pool. No increase or decrease in the
base rate is recommended at this time.
FY18/19 Wastewater Division
FY18/19 Wastewater Division operating expenditures are projected at $3,215,573, a
decrease of $17,542 from FY17/18. This decrease is due partially to lower utility costs but
the funding of the Utility Division transfer was increased to cover proposed expenses (again,
the Utility Division is funded through contributions by water and wastewater). Proposed
operating revenues for FY18/19 are expected to exceed proposed operating expenses by
34,145. Rates will be addressed after the budget is approved and discussed with Council
before they need to be adjusted in August.
It is estimated that the existing $4 capital base charge will generate $270,000 in FY18/19 for
capital projects. This amount, along with existing Water and Sewer Fund Balance, will be
used to fund the following water system capital projects identified in the Water and Sewer
Fund CIP - $40,000 for Willow Lift Station Pump Replacement; and, $65,000 for Wastewater
Division Motor Pool. No change in the base rate is being recommended at this time.
FY18/19 Utility Division
FY18/19 Utility Division operating expenditures are projected at $1,069,894, an increase of
12,390 from FY17/18. As identified in the Water and Wastewater discussions above, the
Utility Division is funded through transfers from the Water and Wastewater Division
revenues. If in one year the transfers from the Water and Wastewater Division exceed
expenses within the department, adjustments are made in following fiscal years. This will
result in lower operating budgets for the Water and Wastewater Divisions.

Public Works Water Division
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, treating water and conducting
over 500 required water samples, therefore 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.
In summary, Water Division employees undertake the following tasks:
Provide safe potable water that meets or exceeds State and Federal Drinking Water
Regulations.
Water Production -The Division maintains four iron removal filtration treatment plants
served by eight active wells. The City has two emergency or backup wells that have no iron
removal filtration but do have temporary chemical feed buildings.
Water Storage consists of four elevated water storage tanks with a combined storage capacity
of 2,750,000 gallons.
One booster pumping station.
Provide meter readings to the Finance Department for utility billing for City water and sewer
services. The Division maintains an ongoing meter replacement program of approximately
8,000 water meters.
Respond to Joint Utili Locate Information for Excavators (J.U.L.I.E.) requests.
Respond to consumer inquiries within 24 hours regarding water quality or high consumption
questions or general concerns.
The Water Division plays an important part in the maintenance and future development of
City's Global Information System.

Public Works Wastewater Division
Public Works Wastewater Division Mission
It is the mission of the Public Works Department Wastewater
Division to protect public health and the environment by
treating sewage to meet stringent environmental standards
prior to discharge. The functions of the wastewater division
are to operate and maintain two wastewater treatment plants
and nineteen lift stations. The goal of the Wastewater
Division is to efficiently maintain these facilities and to -- --
produce plant effluents that either meet or exceed State and 1
Federal standards. The division is also responsible for the
removal and disposal of all the by-products generated by the treatment process. This is accomplished
by daily testing and monitoring of the treatment process and by operating the sludge de -watering
machines.
In summary, Wastewater Division employees undertake the following tasks:
Provide for the operation and maintenance of two wastewater treatment plants and the
care and upkeep of nineteen lift stations
Conduct daily testing to ensure the treatment processes are working correctly and make
any necessary changes to operations
Maintain records on the amount of wastewater treated and the quality of water discharged
to the Fox River and report this information to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
in compliance with NPDES permits.
221
Public Works Wastewater Division - Organizational Chart
222
Public Works Wastewater Division - FY17/18 Accomplishments
In 2017 the Wastewater Division achieved 100% compliance with the NPDES permits.
The Wastewater Division purchased its second and final hook -lift truck and roll -off
dumpsters. This was also included in FY 2017/18 CIP.
Oversaw construction of the Wastewater Treatment Plant consolidation/expansion project
Final competition was achieved in January 2018.
Highlights of the consolidation/expansion project are:
o Microscreens at the headworks of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. These
screens are relatively new in the wastewater treatment industry. This new type of
screen is very efficient at removing debris, sand and grit from the wastewater before
it is cleaned and treated.
o Anew wastewater treatment was constructed on Charles Miller Road to replace the
old treatment plant on Waukegan Road. It is a stat of the art treatment plant and only
the second one of its kind in Northern Illinois. The treatment plant went into service
in November 2017 and will ensure that The City of McHenry will continue to meet or
exceed our discharge permit requirements.
o A dryer was installed to dry the sludge cake, which is a by-product of the treatment
process. Once this cake is dried it will reduce the cost of disposal significantly and
provide the City with a safe and effective fertilizer that can be sold or given away.
Further reducing the disposal cost.
223
Public Works Wastewater Division - FY18/19 Goals & Objectives
Operate new treatment plant and related equipment efficiently and productively.
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 that minimizes the potential for a
sanitary sewer overflow.
Look for ways to continue to achieve the high level of service and minimize operating costs.

Marina Operations Fund - Overview
The City of McHenry acquired the marina in 2000 to be able to expand the
Central Wastewater Treatment Plant. After it was acquired it was determined
that the wastewater facility could not be expanded at the existed site. Once
the Central and South Wastewater Treatment Plant consolidation project is
completed, the Central WWTP site can be redeveloped and at this time it is
possible that the marina site be incorporated into any redevelopment. At this
time the Marina Operations Fund is an enterprise fund that provides for the
maintenance of a 60-slip marina on the Fox River.

and insurance costs (other than employee health insurance) including loss control, loss prevention,
risk transfer, and risk assessment.
The City of McHenry is a member of the McHenry County Risk Management Agency (MCMRMA), a
public entity risk pool through which property, general liability, automobile liability, crime, excess
property, excess liability, and boiler and machinery coverage is provided. The relationship between

General Fund and non -General Fund operating units. The service charges to the General Fund are
provided for the most part by the liability insurance portion of the property tax levy. Incidental
revenues from interest earnings and reimbursements from MCMRMA are also occasionally posted to
the fund.

Employee Flexible Spending Fund - Overview
The Employee Flexible spendind account is used to account for
employee pre-tax medical spending accounts that are offered
as a benefit to City employees.
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, he or she can get reimbursed from his 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.

and prospective businesses within the City of McHenry. The loan
proceeds can be used to assist in the startup of a new business, expand
and 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 /
which is then reviewed by the Revolving Loan Fund Committee -
comprised of the Mayor and Finance and Personnel Committee. 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.

Police Pension Fund - Overview
The Police Pension Fund accounts for retirement benefits for retired police officers
and their beneficiaries through employer and employee contributions and
investment earnings.
The primary purpose of this non -operating budgetary unit is to finance pensions
for employees by both 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 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, and to invest funds. Account and
actuarial services are provided by the city at no cost to the plan. Financial planning and investment
management are provided by outside vendors.
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. If the pension plan makes unwise investment
decisions, the City is currently obligated to guarantee the obligations. However, as of the year 2033,
the pension plan will be self-supporting with no further obligations placed on the City.
The City utilizes an independent actuarial study to annually determine the necessary funding for the
pension program. The City Council has committed to funding the plan based upon these
recommendations.

Financial Policies Overview
The following City financial policies, along with the approved Fund Balance and Reserve, Investment
and Capital Improvement Program policies, establish the framework for McHenry's overall fiscal
planning and management.
Ouerating 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.
271
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.
272
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

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."

Governmental Fund Equity
With the implementation of GASB 54, the fund balance structure for governmental funds
changed as of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012. Multiple fund balance classifications
include: Non -Spendable, Restricted, and Unrestricted, with unrestricted being further
broken down into: Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned.
Expenses that can be attained from multiple fund classifications shall be used from the most
to least restrictive fund. With the discretion of the Finance Director, and with the advice and
consent of the Finance and Personnel Committee, a deviation can be made from this policy if
it is in the best interest of the City of McHenry.
Fund classifications are described by the following:
o Non -Spendable Fund Balance - (1 of 2 conditions)
Amounts that are not in spendable form
Can never be spent (i.e., Inventory, Prepaid Rent)
Cannot currently be spent because of cash flow timing (i.e., Long -Term
Receivables)
276
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 S4 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.
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).
277
Fund Balance Parameters (By Fund,
It is the City's philosophy to support long-term financial strategies, where fiscal sustainability
is it first priority, while also building funds for future growth. It is essential to maintain
adequate levels of fund balance to mitigate current and future risks and to ensure stable tax
levies. Credit rating agencies carefully monitor levels of fund balance to evaluate a City's
credit worthiness.
Revenues received within a given fund are specifically committed for its related purpose.
Revenues reported within any fund may be modified from time to time through the annual
budget process.
The following parameters will be used as part of the budget process to establish targets for
the following funds:
o General Fund -The unrestricted fund balance target should be set at 120 days (4
months) of estimated operating expenditures including those expenditures reported
in other Governmental Funds that receive annual operating transfers, with the
exception of transfers intended to fund capital projects. If the unreserved fund
balance falls below 120 days, a plan will be developed to return to the target balance.
If the unreserved fund balance reaches a low of 90 days (3 months), the plan will be
implemented to return the fund balance to the target within a reasonable amount of
time. One-time revenues shall not be used to fund current operations.
This level of fund balance shall provide the capacity to:
Offset unexpected downturns in elastic revenues due to fluctuations in the
local, state and national economies or the loss of a major sales tax
contributor(s);
Offset negative fiscal changes brought about by action or legislation of
another unit of government or agency;
Ensure the continued, timely repayment of debt obligations that the City may
have in the event of a financial downturn;
Provide a sufficient cash flow for daily financial needs at all times; and,
Provide a funding source for unanticipated expenditures or emergencies that
may occur.
Funds in excess of the minimum may be

sufficient levels to fund park related capital projects.
o Tax Increment Finance Fund - No target is established for this fund. All fund
balance within this fund will go to pay for improvements completed within the TIF

infrastructure needs of the community.
o Capital Equipment Fund - No target is established for this fund. The expenditures
in this fund are to be used for capital equipment expenditures.
o Debt Service Fund - No target is established for this fund. This fund is used only as

operating expenses taking into account typical levels of expenditures required for
capital outlays. Rates should be maintained at sufficient levels to meet the costs of
water and sewer programs, fund depreciation, and build reserves for future capital
needs. Water rates for consumers will be reviewed on an annual basis based on
operating and capital needs. If the balances fall below the minimum, rates will be
adjusted so as to gradually return to the minimum within a reasonable period of time.
If balances exceed the minimum, the overage will be used to keep future rate
increases lower or fund capital projects for the water/sewer systems.

expenditures in this fund are to be used for retiring debt service and for capital
expenditures.
o Utility Improvements Fund - No target is established for this fund. The

Pension Board and the annual actuarial analysis.
Capital Improvement Program Financial Policy
1. The Capital Improvements Program (CIF) 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 actually 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.
282

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 concurrentwith cash needs to meet

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.

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.
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.
