Consider a Discussion of the CY 2027 Proposed Budget & Capital
Investment Plan
BACKGROUND:
Staff is pleased to begin public discussion and review of the CY 2027 Proposed Budget
and Capital Investment Plan.
KEY ISSUES:
The CY 2027 Proposed Annual Budget and Capital Investment Plan totals
$163,977,354. Of this total, $98,046,469 represents the Operations Budget while the
remaining $65,930,885 represents our Capital Budget, TIF Districts, Debt Service,
Transfers, Casualty/Liability Insurance Program, and Pension Administration
requirements. In total, this represents an increase of 3.73% for operations and a
14.03% increase to Capital. The total budget increase for CY 2027 is 7.64%. The
Proposed Budget continues to reflect the cyclical nature of Capital spending and the
impact of the economic climate. Core service levels continue to be funded and
supported to meet the expectations of our residents and, most importantly, staff
continues to manage the Village's financial means in a time of unprecedented external
cost pressures. The Proposed Budget includes extending a flat property tax levy
capturing the growth from the closing of the Rand Corridor TIF District and no new taxes
or fees.
A full copy of the budget is available on the Village's website. The Business, Finance
and Budget Committee has a follow-up discussion scheduled on November 9, if
needed. The required Public Hearing is scheduled for November 16, with the final
budget adoption on December 7.
Today’s proposed schedule is as follows:
1. General Overview and Revenues
2. Operating Budget Review
3. Capital Investment Plan
4. Other Non-Operating Expenses
a. Insurance
b. Pensions
c. Economic Development
d. Debt Service
5. Questions/Follow-Up
BUDGET IMPACT:
Establish Spending Authority for CY 2027.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends commencement of the public budget review process.

October 2026
Honorable Mayor and Village Council:
The Proposed 2027 Annual Budget and Capital Investment Plan represents a balanced
budget that has been developed to navigate economic uncertainty resulting from both
global and state pressures. The Budget continues our commitment to being conservative
stewards of the public dollar and continuing to do more with the resources we have while
delivering on the Village Council priorities and meeting the community’s expectations for
the exceptional delivery of services.

The Proposed Budget recognizes escalating

operating costs which can outpace revenue growth.

It acknowledges the difficult

decisions that must be made on a daily basis to continue funding our infrastructure to
avoid exponential cost increases in the future.
The 2027 Proposed Budget and Capital Investment Plan totals $163,977,354. The
Operations Budget comprises $98,046,469 or 59.8% of this total. The remaining
$65,930,885 represents the Capital Budget, TIF Development, Debt Service, Transfers,
Casualty/Liability Insurance Program, and Pension Administration requirements. The
Proposed Budget not only continues our long commitment to providing key services, but
also makes long-lasting investments that will benefit the Village and our community for
generations to come.
As discussed last year, the Budget continues to focus on our infrastructure. A detailed
review of our capital investment plan took place with updated projects and priorities. This
was all done to match our capital needs with our capital resources to ensure a funding
strategy that addresses the needs for the next decade to come.
The Budget continues to focus on our community involvement and an expansion of the
Community Engagement and Planning function within the Police Department. It also
1

Page 6 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

continues to prioritize reinvestment within the downtown area utilizing tax increment
financing. While this Budget advances the next phase of enhanced downtown aesthetics,
it also establishes a new approach to downtown events designed to engage a broader
segment of our residents.
The Village will continue the focus on the Dundee/Rand corridor to ensure the long-term
economic engine for the Village remains viable. These efforts continue to prioritize sales
tax generation, as that provides direct relief to property tax dependency.
Our operating budget maintains, and in some cases expands, our existing service levels.
It recognizes increasing benefit-related costs and the impact of rising gas prices on the
delivery of our services.
All of this is being accomplished with no increase to the existing Village property tax levy.
We continue to live within our means. The Proposed 2027 Budget will mark the eighth
consecutive year of a stable or decreasing property tax levy. In fact, since 2010, the total
property tax levy has increased by only 2.4%. A remarkable accomplishment.
The 2027 Budget is an increase over 2026. The increase is primarily driven by the cyclical
nature of our capital budget. As the Village operates with a sinking fund concept for
capital, there are years where we use the sinking fund for projects and years where we
deposit into the sinking fund. 2027 is a year with several large capital purchases, causing
a planned drawdown on the sinking fund and thus the corresponding expenditure
increase.
Budget Development and Parameters
As staff set forth to develop the 2027 Budget, the process looked to the future to balance
the growing service needs of the community with the available resources – all done with
the influence of ongoing economic uncertainty. There are always many more “wants”
than “needs”.

Maintaining a balance between these competing interests can be

challenging – whether in times of economic growth or decline. The Proposed Budget
2

Page 7 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

maintains our disciplined financial stewardship, prioritization of the “wants” and “needs”
and an eye towards the long-term financial stability of the organization. This balanced
approach reinforces fiscal responsibility and still meets the needs of the community.
The 2027 Budget continues to live within the existing revenue streams. As has been a
policy of Palatine for many years, any increase in tax rates or other fees was to be a last
resort authorized by the Village Council after weighing service and personnel reductions.
The Operating budget guidelines we have traditionally used have allowed us to financially
perform at a level few have achieved. The guidelines have served us well both in times
of growth and contraction. Once again, the budget team approached the development of
the 2027 Budget with the following parameters:


All budgets would be predicated upon providing all our core services.



Ensure the continued safety of our residents and businesses to receive timely
responses to all public safety, public works, and community service needs.



All non-personnel operating expenditures, including commodities and contractual
services be allotted an increase of 2.0%. As this remains under the current rate of
inflation, reallocation between programs would be required to stay within the limits.



Benefit-related expenditures would meet all statutory requirements for funding.



The Capital Investment Plan must continue to address the needs of our residents
and a systematic replacement of our aging infrastructure, roads, and facilities.



All employees should be treated equitably, and compensation and benefit levels
should be sustainable and market driven across all job classifications. Investment
in our human capital is critical to long-term success.

As many of our costs are fixed or cannot be reduced without significant service delivery
impacts or direct impacts on public safety, we are fortunate to have a diverse set of
revenues that provide stability to the organization.

The following chart reflects the structural organization of the Village workforce which is
predominantly in these three areas.

Our public safety, infrastructure, and quality of life functions represent 305 of our 333 full
time employees.
Revenues
Our budget process begins with a comprehensive review of our revenue performance.
There are many factors which can influence our diverse revenue base and we utilize a
dynamic, year-round process, to monitor revenues. For the past two decades, staff has
utilized a projection model that examines the previous three years of receipts, and
weighted factors are assigned to the more recent years to develop estimates for the
upcoming calendar year. The estimates are then adjusted based on known factors such
5

Page 10 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

as new or closed businesses. This has proven to be dependable despite varying
economic and political conditions. The 2027 revenue outlook carries forward significant
uncertainty as we contend with rising interest rates and the possibility of recession.
The Village will need to adapt as necessary and continue to deliver its services.
Highlighted revenues are:


Property Tax – 2027 continues our commitment to maintaining a stable property
tax rate. In 2018, the Village Council approved a policy to raise property taxes by
1% per year to help fund the unfunded liability of the police and fire pension plans.
This was to be in place through 2028 and then revisited. Based upon our financial
controls and fiscally conservative approach to budgeting, I am pleased to report
that once again, the Budget foregoes any increase in our general property tax levy.
Over the past sixteen years, our property tax levy has grown by a mere 2%, an
average of 0.13% per year. The increased pension costs and other rising expenses
continue to be absorbed through other revenue growth and our ongoing control of
costs.
In the 2027 Budget, the Village will need to adjust the Tax Increment Financing
Levy to capture the growth created over the past 23 years along the Rand and
Dundee corridor. That TIF District will expire at the end of 2026. For the past ten
years, the Village has taken the property tax increment and declared annual
surpluses which returned these dollars to all taxing bodies (including the Village)
for use as general revenues. With the retirement of the TIF District, the Village will
transfer our pro rata share of the levy to our general property tax levy. This
represents a reallocation of 1.997%. This keeps our finances whole and does not
impact any single property owner as it is a reallocation of dollars between funds.


Sales Tax – Our sales tax receipts continue to exceed expectations.
Unfortunately, this is not necessarily due to new businesses and increased sales
but driven in part through inflationary pressures. The 2027 Budget includes
6

Page 11 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

$23,351,400 in combined state and home rule sales tax receipts. This represents
an increase over the 2026 Budget of $20,666,600. A large portion of this increase
also comes with an offset in our Use Tax which represents the shift of sales tax
dollars from online sales. Additionally, based upon our agreements with Deer
Park, we are including $154,500 in sales tax receipts from Deer Park.
In 2027, sales tax revenues will account for over 23.8% of our operating budget,
the highest level experienced. Additionally, in 2027, sales tax receipts will be
larger than our property tax receipts for the first time ever. This shows the true
benefit of our economic development efforts.


State Income Tax – As mentioned every year, this revenue source has been very
cyclical with multi-million-dollar fluctuations from year to year with no rhyme or
reason. Outside of Use Tax, this is our most difficult revenue to project. Based
upon the weakness of current receipts, the 2027 Budget reflects an anticipated
revenue of $12,650,400. This represents a decrease of $190,700. This revenue
will be monitored very closely throughout the year due to the past history of
collections.



Building Permit/Inspection/Review Fees – Building permit activity is becoming
flat although one or two large projects can really move this revenue source. For
2027, these revenues are projected to decrease from $2,449,000 to $2,303,900.
This is in large part due to some slowing of the economy.



Local Use Tax – This revenue is the state remittance that covers online sales
taxes that are received. The State distributes this on a per capita basis. The Local
Use Tax distributions from the State continue to fall monthly despite e-commerce
continuing to grow. A portion of this decline is reflected in our regular State sales
tax distribution, as many large online retailers are paying through that format.
Rather than using our model for revenue projection discussed earlier, we are
defaulting to what the Illinois Municipal League (IML) has developed as a revenue
estimate based upon trends and new legislative changes. Following a decrease
7

Page 12 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

of $1.39 million from 2025 to 2026, we see more stability in the future with a 2027
revenue estimate of $488,400 which is an increase of $79,100.


Cable TV Franchise Fees – While not a significant revenue source, this is one
worth discussion. For many years, the Village has been dealing with significantly
decreasing revenues from the telecommunications tax. That tax had been a
primary funding source for our capital program and is further discussed in the
capital section. We now see the continuing decline of the cable franchise fee,
which is on cable services. As recently as 2022, a mere five years ago, the Village
received more than $1 million from these fees. This dropped to $915,371 in 2023
and was budgeted for $702,800 in 2026. Based upon our current receipts and
forecasting model, 2027 is projected to only generate $588,200.

With the

continued decline, the Village will need to look towards alternative revenues to help
fund our operations – some may be through the transfer back of traditional
operating revenues from the capital budget.


Red Light Camera Fees – After five years, in 2026 the Illinois Department of
Transportation approved the permits for the new red light camera vendor to install
their enforcement system replacing the previous vendor. As the intersections
(Rand/Dundee, Rand/Hicks and Palatine/NW Highway) will be phased in, the
revenues included in the budget represent an estimate. For the upcoming 2027
Budget, the Village is including net revenues of $220,000 from this
program. These dollars are dedicated strictly to our capital budget. None of the
net revenues will be used to fund operations and this will further allow us to
decrease any new taxes or fees to fund our ongoing capital program.

Our Code of Ordinances provides for all other Village fees to increase in an amount equal
to the Municipal Cost Index (MCI). This cost index is a representation of the costs for
goods and services incurred by municipal government. For 2027, this represents an
increase of 4.91%.

Reserves
A multi-year view is necessary when considering the existence of reserves and the yearto-year surpluses or deficits that create or deplete them. Particularly in capital funds, a
surplus or deficit is merely a timing difference between receiving revenues and paying
expenditures. In these funds, we try to maintain level funding each year knowing that the
expenses will vary from year to year. Thus, establishing a surplus for several years or
spending down reserves is completely appropriate and, in fact, planned.
Healthy reserves not only allow the Village to address a financial decline but also to
pursue opportunities for grant funding that often come with a local match. Over the years,
we have been very aggressive in the grant arena – due in large part to our healthy
reserves.

Additionally, Cook County’s property tax collection process has recently

become unpredictable and significantly delayed the distribution of property tax revenue
to the Village. This delay has resulted in the use of our reserves to cashflow operations
and capital programing intermittently. This temporary use of reserves has allowed the
Village to avoid cutting or deferring expenses until the property tax deposits are received.
Some units of local government (including some in Palatine) have engaged in short-term
borrowing to bridge cash shortfalls because they do not have adequate reserves on hand
to cover the gap.
The Budget anticipates 2026 will mark the 23rd consecutive year that the General Fund
will end within or above our targeted reserve range of three to four months operating
costs. We should finish 2027 in that same position as well. This meaningful
accomplishment demonstrates the commitment of the Council and Village leadership to
fiscal constraint. Our conservative approach to finance, and the strong fund balance,
coupled with untapped revenue resources, continues to place us in high stature with the
rating agencies should we need to return to the bond market.
The targeted operating reserves set by the Reserve Policy are at levels considered
prudent to provide uninterrupted municipal services and preferred bond ratings. These
9

Page 14 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

reserves serve as a stabilizer during reduced revenue collections, which in turn allows for
a consistent delivery of our most important services.
The General Fund operating reserves are approximately $26.3 million, which falls at the
upper end of the three to four-month policy range. This does not include the Economic
Stabilization Reserve, which is $2.5 million, or the Economic Opportunity Fund Reserve
of $1.0 million, both fully funded and available at the discretion of the Council. The
reserve also excludes $500,000 for the Police and Fire Pension Funds for contribution
smoothing.
In the case of capital-related reserves, these funds are considered sinking funds. It would
not be fiscally prudent or responsible to fund current capital expenditures with current
dollars, nor to issue bonds for all capital purchases. In this case, these reserves can be
likened to a savings account to pre-fund expected purchases. Additionally, these funds
can be used to fund one-time emergency purchases. These fund balance levels will
fluctuate from year to year based on our capital project needs. All are within or more than
our fund balance targets.

Annual Operating Budget
The entire Village organization is committed to delivering on our core services in the most
cost-effective and efficient manner. Once again, this becomes challenging when faced
with high inflation, rising pension expenses, and significant increases in health insurance
costs. With the Village being a service organization that is heavily dependent on people
to perform the services, these costs will drive operating expenditures. Staff remained very
focused on cost containment in developing the 2027 Budget, recognizing many costs are
out of our control. Through these efforts, the total operating budget increase is only 3.7%.
Our operating expenditures are summarized as follows:

As mentioned, we are a service business, and the services continue to grow as demand
increases. Protecting the public safety, maintaining the infrastructure, and ensuring a
high quality of life takes a dedicated workforce, and with people come costs. Over 90%
of our employees work directly in our field services (Police, Fire, Public Works, and
Community Development).
Personnel costs represent 74% of our operating expenses. This is the largest cost
component of the entire budget, especially when factoring in pension and insurance
related costs. As such, it is paramount that we focus on always controlling our personnel
costs and balancing any increase or decrease in positions with the needs of the residents.
Over the past 25 years, the Village has maintained one of the lowest per capita staffing
levels found in the suburban area. As benefit costs continue to rise through outside
influences, our low headcount has allowed the Village to live within our means and limit
tax adjustments.

Departmental Budgets and New Initiatives
Two years ago, marked the first expansion of staffing since the pandemic. In 2025, the
Village established the Community Engagement and Planning Division within the Police
Department. That division has been very beneficial in better interacting with the public,
especially in the current political/social environment. The 2027 Budget will also reflect
some staffing changes with a focus on our utility function in Public Works allowing for
more proactive maintenance. Additionally, as the Village looks to the future and our longterm succession planning, the Budget includes a new position of Deputy Director for
Community Development. Outside of these changes, 2027 is generally focusing on
maintaining the status quo and closely monitoring the economy for any potential impacts
on our revenues and, thus our ability to fund our operations.
12

Page 17 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

While 2027 is generally status quo, some of the more notable initiatives and unique
expenditures for CY 2027 include:


Community Engagement and Planning Social Work Initiative – Palatine, in
partnership with four to five other area communities, will be engaging the services
of a shared social worker that specializes in working with the homeless population.
While there are agencies in town that work with those at risk of becoming homeless
or those without shelter, there is a real gap in services when it comes to working
with those that have significant mental health issues or substance issues. This
shared resource will be funded on a two-year pilot project to address this segment
of the population that does not fit within traditional service provider models. The
Village contribution for this is estimated to be $18,000.



Community Development Succession Planning – With the six senior managers
in the Community Development Department all nearing retirement eligibility, a new
Deputy Director position has been included in the 2027 Budget. This will allow the
department to accomplish several process and project enhancements such as the
update to the Zoning Code as well as a renewed focus on economic development
and corridor development. It is anticipated that with future retirements, the
department staffing level may be able to contract. Funds totaling $214,710 are
included in the budget for this position (including benefits).



Public Works Utility Enhancement – The Budget includes a new maintenance
worker position within the Utilities Division. This was a planned increase that has
been discussed in the past as we take a more proactive maintenance approach in
our utilities division. The position is funded through the utility funds and has no
impact on the general fund. A total of $116,007 is included in the budget for this
position.

13

Budget Message



Motor Fuel Impacts – The ongoing pressures felt at the gas pump by our residents
inflicts the same pain on our organization. The Village utilizes 110,000 gallons of
gasoline and 55,000 gallons of diesel fuel on an annual basis. The Village began
increasing our fuel budget last year due to price pressures, and we amended the
budget in the current budget year to meet the cost increase. Our 2027 fuel budget
will be $585,000. This is nearly $100,000 more than our total costs two years ago.
Fortunately, our integration of hybrid and electric vehicles has decreased our
overall fuel consumption providing some relief.



Community Events – After a 25-year run, the Village was not able to hold Street
Fest in 2026 due to the downtown construction activities. The 2027 Budget will
continue with enhancements to the downtown as will the 2028 Budget. As staff
looked at the impact of Street Fest on the Budget and the success of several
smaller events this past year, it is recommended that a new focus shift to more
events in the downtown area, but on a slightly smaller scale. The 2027 Budget
includes funds for:
o St. Patrick’s Day – No reimbursement for Village services required;
o Concert Series – Two weekend concerts with street closures. These would
tentatively be held in May and October;
o Street Feast – Two food truck events similar to 2026 including partnership
with the Chamber of Commerce for a car show. These would tentatively be
held in June and August.
Additionally, the Village would continue to assist with Independence Day activities
in July, Oktoberfest activities in September and the Tree Lighting event in
November. This brings eight months of special events to the downtown. With
anticipated sponsorship support, all of this can be done for approximately $60,000
to $75,000 less than Street Fest and without such a major volunteer undertaking.
If these new events continue to be well received, the Village could add additional
dates with minimal effort.

Budget Message

Personnel Changes – Wages are scheduled to adjust based upon contractual
obligations and market conditions. Public Works and Fire contracts are in place
with contractual agreements that have been included in the budget to meet these
obligations. The Police contract expired at the end of 2025, and as of the time of
this writing, there is no agreement with the Police Union. Assumptions have been
made for both 2026 and 2027 for this group of employees. Our non-represented
employees will have their ranges adjusted based on market conditions and the
funds appropriated in the budget. Management employees are all subject to
performance-based increases. The Village Manager will make any necessary
equity adjustments and reclassifications within the budgeted funds. Finally, there
is money included in the Mayor and Council budget totaling $50,000 to engage
outside resources, if necessary, to assist with the recruitment of a new Village
Manager.

Pensions
Aside from Health Insurance, our pension contribution obligations are one of the largest
drivers in the development of our budget, and unfortunately, not something that we can
directly control. By State statute, the Village is mandated to fund pension benefits for all
municipal employees. The Illinois General Assembly determines the benefits afforded to
our employees, as well as the employee contributions. Six years ago, the State moved
forward with a plan to consolidate the police and fire pensions throughout the State. In
the long term (10+ years), this should drive smaller increases in funding requirements
due to economies of scale. It will now take several years to begin seeing the operational
efficiencies of consolidation and hopefully stronger returns matching those of the Illinois
Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF). Another contributing factor towards stabilizing these
costs is the shift to more Tier 2 pension employees. The State created a Tier 2 pension
15 years ago. The Tier 2 pension still provides a very generous pension – one that far
exceeds social security benefits, which all Village employees will also receive. The Tier
2 plan places a cap on earnings for pension purposes and shifts the retirement eligibility
date. These changes have brought stability and sustainability to the pensions. The shift
to Tier 2 has been slow but steady. As of October 2026, 32% of the Village workforce is
a Tier 1 participant, while the remaining 68% are Tier 2.

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

The 2027 Budget includes $15,172,955 to meet the statutorily required contributions we
face for our three pension systems. This is an increase of $536,712 over last year. Of
this amount, the Fire contribution increased by $181,124, while Police increased by
$182,683, and IMRF (civilian employees) increased by $172,905. These increases are
despite the fact that the Village has made extensive supplemental contributions over the
past ten years. To offset some of the unexpected increase, the Village Council authorized
the appropriation of $500,000 of the 2025 surplus money to help offset the Fire increase
in 2026 and again for 2027.
Insurance
The Budget continues to fund the Village’s self-insurance program for our liability
insurance. Yet again, and similar to what we all see with our own insurance policies, the
market for this insurance continues to see significant increases due to natural disasters
throughout the country (hurricanes, flooding, wildfires). Additionally, a generally negative
view by insurance companies of the courts (particularly Cook County), drives larger than
normal increases for government policies.

While we will not have final rates until

December, after the budget adoption is completed, early indications are an increase of
$68,841 or 6.33% for our self-insured liability program. These funds are included in the
2027 Budget.
In 2020, the Village joined the Intergovernmental Personnel Benefits Cooperative (IPBC)
for our health insurance coverage. Previous reviews of performance in IPBC compared
to the general market trends indicate we saved money with this change. Through our first
four years, our savings were estimated to be over $1 million. Unfortunately, for the second
consecutive year, the Village is facing double digit increases in health insurance. 2027
will reflect an increase of 12.18% or $951,160. This was not due to our group’s
performance, but general medical inflation issues. Alternative plan designs were
evaluated and implemented in 2026 to try to soften the impact. The Village’s nonrepresented workforce shifted to a narrow PPO plan that still includes the previous plan.
This has helped reduce the increase and while the Police and Fire Unions did not agree
16

to move all employees to the plan, their covered employees will be eligible to voluntarily
move to the new plan. This will save the employee money and help manage the Village
contribution. For those that shift to the new plan, there will be an increase of 12.20%.
Those remaining on the older PPO plan will see increases of 17.90%.
The Public Works union employees remain in a separate plan through the Operating
Engineers Union, and we anticipate those costs will be increasing and funds are included.
The Public Works collective bargaining agreement requires the employees to cover the
difference of their insurance plan that exceeds that of other employees and thus, any
increased costs will be offset by employee contributions.
Annual Capital Investment Plan
The 2027 Capital Investment Plan reflects a comprehensive review of all projects in the
existing five-year plan as well as a look at projects for the subsequent five years. In total,
we have tried to estimate our needs for the next ten years and the corresponding revenue
sources required to meet the capital needs.
Our process continues our proactive approach to maintaining and investing in our roads,
underground utilities, facilities, and equipment. The Capital Investment Plan continues to
function as a sinking fund where it is planned that some years the expenditures will
exceed revenues and other years the revenues will exceed the expenditures. This is the
nature of capital investments. Thus, you can’t just look at fund balance levels and defer
the need for permanent funding sources. Fortunately, the sinking fund process has
allowed us to not only maintain our annual capital investment, but establish adequate
reserves to address unforeseen situations or emergency repairs and replacements, as
well as aggressively pursue grant opportunities – many of which have matching funds
requirements.
The Capital Investment Plan for 2027 totals $28,251,809. Utilizing the sinking fund
concept, this compares to a 2026 capital budget of $19,281,248 and a 2025 capital
budget of $27,283,928. Fortunately, our fund balances are designed for these large
17

swings in costs although, there has been significant fund reallocations from the operating
budget over the years to keep the capital program viable.
The Village received $12 million in ARPA funds, which supported continued infrastructure
investment over the past four years. Combined with our aggressive pursuit of grants
totaling nearly $40 million over the past five years and into the coming year these
resources have enabled us not only to maintain, but to proactively advance our capital
program. Despite our grant success, we cannot always be dependent or hopeful on
additional grant opportunities.
Over the past five years, all our capital items have become more expensive to procure
and maintain. These types of assets tend to move differently versus the consumer price
index (CPI) which tends to be the “measuring stick” for cost inflation. Since 2022, CPI is
up 15.48% and I am projecting 2026 to come in around 3.6%, for an estimated five-year
total of over 19%.
In only the last five years the increase in the major items routinely included in the Capital
Improvement and Capital Equipment Replacement Programs have increased as follows:


Resurfacing 70%



Fire Apparatus 50%



Police Patrol Units 45%



Public Works Trucks 40%



Sidewalk Remove & Replacement 40%

The Municipal Cost index is built for local government and shows similar inflationary
impacts as CPI at 18.58% over the same five-year period, assuming an estimate of 5.25%
for 2026.
Using one of these indices alone is not a smoking gun for actual cost increases absorbed
since 2022, but the collective is a non-biased assessment of the market construct that the
Village has been functioning in the past five fiscal periods.

Neither of the indexes

referenced has moved anywhere close to what the Village has been able to do from a

management standpoint and to operate within the Village’s means and fund capital over
the fiscal periods.
Inflation has taken its toll on the Village budget and operations regularly over the past five
fiscal years and yet the Village maintains and completes the slated projects and priorities
as needed requiring staff to annually find additional funding sources like grants or redirect
funds otherwise dedicated to operations (general fund revenue) to fund capital purposes.
Unfortunately,

our

primary

capital

revenue

is

almost

non-existent.

The

Telecommunications Tax is projected to generate only $650,430 in 2027. As recently as
2010, the Telecommunications Tax generated $2,796,000. This decrease has caused
the Village to redirect $1.7 million in electric utility tax receipts to the capital budget to
allow programs to continue. These were dollars that were established to help fund
general fund operations. Additionally, $1 million of property tax revenues that previously
covered our outstanding debt service has been redirected to the capital budget. When
coupled with the redlight camera revenue of $220,000 now dedicated to capital, all of this
represents a $2 million shift from operations to maintain our capital budget. These dollars
are needed to maintain our ongoing operating budget and the time has arrived to address
the long-term sustainability of our capital program.
Two years ago, with the presentation of the 2025 Budget, staff suggested that there would
need to be a new revenue source dedicated to capital within the 2026 Budget.
Fortunately, through aggressive grant opportunities coupled with strong operating
revenues, we were able to delay the need for one year. This past year saw the successful
negotiation of a new refuse contract that will allow for supplemental funding in the capital
budget of nearly $2.5 million over the next five years. Additionally, the redlight cameras
coming back online will generate additional funds for capital. These were revenues
previously used to fund operations.
We are in a position to recommend a 2027 Capital Investment Plan that is funded through
our existing revenues but there will be a need to discuss long term solutions as part of
the 2027 Mid-Year Budget presentation.

As discussed in the 2026 Budget there are many revenue sources that are commonly

The Village’s revenue profile for operations has continued to provide support for Capital
and will get some relief over the next few fiscal periods should the new capital funding
sources be approved by the Council. Operations will not absorb the funds that were
expected to be routed back from utility taxes, as we have seen decreases in many state
provided line items like use tax, telecommunications tax, and other sources. Other capital
funding sources such as taxes from cannabis, video gaming, and cell towers is flattening
out with less than 3% growth projected. TIF surplus will also begin to taper as TIF Districts
reach full maturity and are closed as well, making it mission critical that those property
taxes that are currently being collected are shifted into the operating levy.

The

management of enterprise funds to pay their way is also a function that will need to
continue as neither general fund operations nor capital budgets can afford to subsidize
the user driven funds. Staff will be looking at parking fees in the downtown to ensure that
once the Downtown TIF closes, the Parking Fund can be self-sustaining.
Long term financial stability is achievable and will still leave Palatine with one of the lowest
cost of services within the area. We look forward to a detailed discussion on our capital
funding options prior to the development of the 2028 Budget.
The following sections highlight the Capital Investment Plan for 2027.

Street Maintenance Programs
The Village has the responsibility for maintaining 436 lane miles of streets throughout the
community. On an annual basis, half the streets are physically evaluated/inspected and
assigned a numeric rating (1 to 100) utilizing a computer model. When streets fall below
60, they generally begin to enter the five-year capital plan for resurfacing. Historic and
present funding levels for street maintenance have been designed to provide a street
system throughout the Village that carries an average rating in the lower “very good”
range (70-75 PCI). The projected PCI value for 2027 is 82.29, which represents the
highest rating in 20 years. This is a result of the 10 Year Street Improvement Plan
approved by the Village Council in 2020.

Resurfacing is just one activity in a much larger effort to maintain our road network. In
addition to resurfacing, our comprehensive road maintenance program will again include
the following activities:


Crack-filling: This activity is normally performed in the first three to four years
after a street is constructed or resurfaced.



Milling & Paving: This activity has significantly expanded over the past 12 years.
Historically, patching of streets precedes resurfacing by two or three years and in
other cases, it will address isolated problems. To better manage the growing
number of streets in the lower end of acceptable limits (PCI of 50-69), an
expansion of this program has occurred over the past decade.



Curb and Gutter: There are multiple programs designed to extend, repair, and
upgrade curb and gutters throughout the Village. These programs include spot
curb repair, 50/50 curb replacement, concrete edging, as well as repairs to curbing
under the street resurfacing program.

ago and will vary from year to year.

The program has evolved to include

rehabilitating pavement, improving drainage, and installing concrete curb on
roadways serving as the primary entry point into a neighborhood as well as
reconstruction of roads when resurfacing no longer makes economic sense. In
2027, this program will target the rehabilitation of Aldridge Avenue from the dead
end to Brockway Street on the east. An allocation of $787,000 is included for this
project.
The dollars budgeted for the comprehensive street program are allocated as follows:

Capital Equipment and Improvements
Separate from our road system, the Village maintains a long-range plan for the systematic
maintenance, replacement, and new investment in our equipment and other
improvements and facilities throughout the Village. While these investments are all
discussed in detail in the budget document, some highlights and higher cost or new items
include:


Information Technology Equipment – 2027 will mark the second year of our new
five-year replacement cycle for desktops and laptops. This brings more stability to
our platform when compared to the previous seven-year cycle, which will be fully
completed with the 2028 Budget. The Budget also includes needed upgrades to
the audio/visual system within the Council Chambers. In 2026 there was an
emergency purchase to address failing video displays and broadcasting
equipment. The $200,000 in the Budget will complete this project.
The Budget also includes an allocation of $120,000 to expand the Village-owned
fiber network providing connectivity in 2027 within the downtown area. Over the
next five years we anticipate investing $1.4 million in our fiber network.



Equipment/Vehicles, Facility Upgrades and Capital Improvements – The
Budget continues with implementation of the Vehicle Equipment and Optimization
Plan, as well as our other structured replacement programs. Maintaining our frontline equipment and facilities is critical to delivering on our core services.
Unfortunately, this comes at a significant cost. Much of our specialized equipment
(fire apparatus, police vehicles, large public works equipment) is seeing its cost
double over a 6 to 10 year stretch. For example, the 2027 Budget allocates
$270,000 for a five-ton dump truck. That is a $100,000 increase over the same
truck purchased five years ago.

Looking at the future, in two years we are

anticipating $1.32 million for a new fire engine. That same engine cost $645,000
six years ago. This all leads back to the earlier discussion that the current capital
equipment costs are not sustainable without a funding increase.
26

Page 31 of 342

CY 2027 Proposed Budget

Budget Message

The 2027 highlights of the equipment, vehicle, and facility projects include:
o $1.7 million New self-contained breathing apparatus and equipment for
Fire. This replaces a system that is 15 years old.
o $412,505

New ambulance chassis and remount.

o $1,577,850 Public works equipment including three large trucks for snow
removal and an end loader.
o $396,000

Police vehicle replacements.

Water and Sewer Funds
The 2027 budget allocates over $10 million towards our water, storm sewer and sanitary
sewer systems, an increase over the $7.2 million from the 2026 budget.
Our water infrastructure is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain. The material
costs are rapidly rising (19% average annual increase) and the need to replace our water
mains is increasing. Since 2020, the cost per foot of water main replacements has
doubled. While water mains have a long-life expectancy, our previous investment
schedule would have placed our mains in a 125-year replacement cycle. In an effort to
have a more realistic replacement schedule, the water main replacement allocation is
recommended to increase from just over $4 million to $5 million.
In order to fund these programs into the future, the Budget recommends an increase of
8.5% to our water rate. While the increase as a percentage is large, we remain one of
the lowest rates in the suburbs, with the only communities under Palatine being
communities with direct access to Lake Michigan. Palatine would have the 5th lowest rate
of 42 Lake Michigan water communities.
Within the next year, the Village anticipates securing a new contract for the long-term
provision of Lake Michigan water. Once that process is completed, we should be able to
make a final adjustment to water rates that brings stability for many years to come.

Highlights of our upcoming underground improvements include:

($5,330,000)

–

This

infrastructure improvement continues to move the Village forward with more water
main replacements and eliminating dead ends in the system to improve system
performance and redundancy.


Water Tank Maintenance ($1,359,546) – This will allow for the long-term
maintenance of our above-ground water storage system.

Depending on the

location and year, this can include anything from a repainting of a tank to complete
rehabilitation.


Lead Service Line Replacement ($200,000) – This is part of an ongoing program
that has seen significant increase in public participation and partnership. The
Village estimates that there are approximately 400 service lines to replace.

TIF Districts
The Village continues to promote development within our various TIF Districts to further
expand our sales tax revenues and increase shopping, dining, and convenience options
for our residents. This effort included the creation of a new TIF District in 2025 that will
assist in the redevelopment of the Dundee Road/Route 53 area. In 2027, we expect to
see significant redevelopment of the former Holiday Inn Express site in this new TIF
District, as well as the completion of projects in the Rand/Lake Cook TIF District.
The Downtown TIF District was due to expire on December 31, 2022. With the support
of the local taxing agencies, the Village successfully received an extension of the TIF
District through the Illinois General Assembly in 2022. With the extension, as well as the
commitments made to our local partners, the Village captured the increment in 2023 and
2024 and began a 100% rebate of all the increment in 2025. The rebate of increment is
carried as a cost of $8 million in the Budget. Additionally, in 2027, there is $5,533,350 to

continue the improvements in the downtown area, building off the successful Slade Street
project in 2026.
This past year marked the completion of the Rand/Dundee TIF District.

With the

retirement of the District at the end of 2026, a look back shows the success this
development tool has had for the entire community.
The property tax increment created through the various development projects totals
$5,077,788 as of last year. This is based upon new Equalized Assessed Valuation of
over $45 million. These are new property tax dollars that will be distributed to all taxing
bodies. The Village portion of the TIF property tax increment will be reallocated to the
general property tax line item thus allowing the economic development efforts of the past
20+ years on this corridor to continue to benefit Village operations. Additionally, between
the development of Walmart, along with Toyota, Subaru, Mazda and Volkswagen, the
total 2025 sales tax receipts for the Village were nearly $2.5 million. These are dollars
that help support our police, fire and public works operations.
Refuse Fund
The Village contracts with Groot for the collection of all residential waste, recycling and
single-family landscape waste. This contract expires on December 31, 2026. The Village
undertook a process in early 2026 that resulted in a new contract with Groot that will take
effect on January 1, 2027. The contract provides long-term stability for our residents as
well as an expansion of service options. The new contract maintains the monthly rates
flat for up to five years. In fact, the $21 monthly rate (projected through 2030) has not
increased since 2023.
Debt Service
The Village is, in essence, “debt free”. What is still owed has been accounted for in a
debt service reserve fund and there is no longer any revenue collection from the tax levy
for the purpose of paying our debt. This debt service reserve account is fully funded to
29

pay the amount of all outstanding debt as it comes due, with the final payment December
1, 2029. Becoming “Debt Free” began nearly 20 years ago when the Village was faced
with necessary cuts in 2008-2010, due to the significant burden of the annual debt
payments and limited options. Staff developed a plan and has remained committed to
the plan over the years despite other budgetary pressures.
Over the past 16 years, the Village has seen its debt burden go from $122,657,469 in
2010 to a projected $17,142,193 at the end of calendar year 2027.
The Mayor and Village Council (past and present) should take great pride in this
remarkable accomplishment.

This has been done during the same period that the

property tax levy increased by a total of 2.4%. All while upgrading all Village facilities,
undertaking major infrastructure investments, expanding our public safety services, and
maintaining all of our mandated employee benefits.

issuances, and have been paid off in full. This reduces the property tax burden on our
stakeholders by a total of $2,478,456.
The Future
The 2027 Budget is a tight and balanced budget that navigates economic uncertainty with
fiscal responsibility. The Budget goes beyond serving as a financial plan for the Village.
It is a continuation of more than 20 years of strategic thinking and actions that has erased
more than $125 million in debt, constructed new facilities, and delivered exemplary
services. It is a plan that puts Palatine at the forefront of financially responsible local
government.
The Operating Budget is on solid ground with dependable revenues to support the
delivery of our core services. It maintains a flat property tax levy, utilizes growth to reduce
pressure on property taxpayers and has us structurally prepared to withstand legislative
and economic change.
The Council has approved plans to address our critical infrastructure – roads, water,
sanitary sewers, and storm water management. With the commitment to a permanent
funding source, allowing revenues to be returned to the operating budget, we will have a
strong infrastructure to support our community.
The fiscally conservative approach to Village finances has allowed the Village to maintain
services, decrease the tax burden on our residents, and plan for the future.
It has truly been a privilege over the past 24 years to present the Council with a budget
that affirms staff’s commitment to an organization that leads with integrity, remains
financially accountable and responsible, and puts our citizens first. As I begin to transition
these responsibilities to others, I am confident that the organization will thrive for decades
to come. The Mayor, Council and staff will work together to withstand the impacts of
economic uncertainty, to make sure our residents and businesses continue to have the
foundation for growth, and ensure Palatine continues to be an example of excellence in

All Funds Total

An operating reserve is set aside to provide a cushion against unexpected events, losses of revenue, and large unbudgeted expenditures. The most common trigger for
use of reserves is on the income side, such as when a previously reliable source is reduced or withdrawn. Another common reason for either creating or using reserves is
when there is a timing difference between when a revenue is recorded and the underlying expenditure is made.
In many cases, one of the main purposes of a fund is to accumulate funds today for a known or planned future outlay. Pension funds and funds that provide for capital
outlay (Capital Projects and Enterprise Funds) are a good example of this accumulation of funds today for future outlays.

Property Taxes

Property Taxes fund Public Safety (Police and Fire Protection), the Village’s share of Retirement Plan funding (FICA, IMRF, Police
and Firefighters’ Pensions), Capital Improvement, and Debt Service.

The Village has been diligent in monitoring its use of property taxes, the level of the Village’s EAV, and the resultant tax rate. It has
been the policy of the Village to be cognizant of the impact that the use of property taxes has upon its citizenry. We are pleased to
say that this year's budget again includes no increase in our property tax levy. 2026 will mark the seventh consecutive year of a
stable or decreasing property tax levy. Additionally, as can be seen from the graphs on the previous page, as compared to the other
taxing districts within the Village, the Village’s portion of the tax bill has remained fairly constant and relatively minor in relation to the
total tax bill.

For 2027, the Village is proposing no net increase to the property tax levy.

CY 2027 Proposed Budget - Budget Overview
Sales Tax

The CY 2027 projection is based upon the current trend of receipts. This revenue source is highly dependent on the
strength of the economy and is a significant source of revenue to the general fund. The first graph below illustrates the
trend of total collections.
The major strength in this revenue source for the Village of Palatine is the relative diversity in our sales tax generators.
As can be seen in the second chart on this page, Palatine does not rely solely on one main sector of the local economy.
The diversity of the sales tax generators means that if one sector were to experience a downturn, the other sectors would
compensate for it. As can be seen, three of the top four producers, excluding automotive, account for 52% of sales tax
dollars and are three sectors that are not generally discretionary in nature.

Liability Insurance Program

Program Description
The program proactively manages risk and claims through a variety of resources. Claims are handled through a third-party
administrator; coverage is negotiated through a broker. Loss prevention practices are reviewed through an independent auditor.
Safety training is handled through a variety of resources, including internal trainers and outsourced training. Department safety
committees and a village-wide safety committee review provide feedback on auto accidents, work-related injuries, and general safety
and liability practices. Safety practices are guided by a Safety Policy Manual and Fleet Safety Policy. A light-duty return-to-work
program is actively used.

Program Objectives
1

Continually strive for best work practices in safety by using positive reinforcement of safe work practices (even in
unsafe conditions), open communication between supervisors and staff and review of accidents.

2

Provide aggressive defense of all claims against the Village.

Complete the analysis of a potential TIF District along the eastern portion of the Northwest Highway corridor.
Completed. The Village’s consultant, SB Friedman, has completed an eligibility report for a potential TIF district along
the eastern portion of the Village’s Northwest Highway corridor. Their findings conclude that this redevelopment
project area would qualify as a “conservation area.” Given the uncertainty of the future use/redevelopment of the
former Arlington race track, formal consideration for the establishment of the new TIF district will be postponed at this
time.
Complete various amendments to the Village’s Zoning Code, in anticipation of conducting an update to the entire Zoning Code

Prior Year - Status

Strengthen recruitment and retention efforts to attract diverse, high-quality candidates while ensuring current personnel remain
engaged, supported, and committed to long-term careers with the department.
The Department continued to expand recruitment and retention efforts throughout 2026 through targeted advertising,
recruitment events, applicant engagement, internships, and improvements to the hiring process. The recruitment
website was updated with current application information and a social media advertising campaign was launched to
increase traffic and applicant interest. Recruitment and retention were also formally incorporated into the
responsibilities of the reorganized CE&P Division, providing greater ownership and continuity for these efforts moving
forward.
Rebrand and optimize the Community Engagement and Planning Division to reflect refined roles, responsibilities, and forwardlooking community priorities.
An organizational assessment was completed to evaluate staffing, classifications, reporting relationships, workloads,
and future needs of the Division. The assessment recommended modernizing the former Crime Prevention Officer and
Tenant Protection Program Officer classifications by reclassifying these positions as Community Engagement &
Planning Officers with three defined concentration areas: Special Projects, Community Preparedness, and Safe
Communities Liaison. The assessment further defined responsibilities within each position, including recruitment and
retention, grant assistance, social media and website management, CERT and emergency preparedness, Neighborhood
Watch, the Tenant Protection Program, community programming, and other strategic initiatives. The Division continued
expanding its role through community forums, Beat Meetings, community presentations, emergency preparedness
initiatives, special-event planning, partnerships with community organizations, and other Neighborhood-Based Policing
initiatives.

*

Continue grant acquisition and administration, securing external funding to support various law enforcement projects, programs,
and community safety initiatives. Acquire additional resources to improve operations, fund specialized units, enhance community
outreach, and adopt new technology or training programs.
The Department continued an aggressive and coordinated approach to identifying, pursuing, and administering outside
funding opportunities to supplement Village resources and support operational priorities. Collectively, these efforts
represent more than $1.69 million in awarded or requested external funding across the 2026 and 2027 funding cycles.
Grant acquisition continues to provide opportunities to enhance Department equipment, technology, training, wellness,
social services, and enforcement capabilities while offsetting costs that would otherwise be borne by the Village.

*

Increase departmental readiness to respond to active threat incidents by sponsoring a department trainer to complete the Illinois
Active Threat Master Instructor Certification Program, enabling the department to deliver an Illinois Law Enforcement Training
and Standards Board State Certified Active Threat Response Training curriculum in-house.
In May 2026, Officer Jon DeLuca successfully completed the final class necessary to obtain their Active Threat
Response Training State Certification. During the program, our officer achieved their Master Instructor Certification in
the following topics: Active Threat / Immediate Action, Urban Tactics / MACTAC, Solo Officer Response, Rescue Task
Force, Patrol CQB / Building Searching, Use of Force, High Risk Traffic Stops, and Scenario Based Training & Safety
Officer. This advanced certification allows our officer to instruct these courses in a train-the-trainer format, both inhouse and for any other department in the State. Palatine's in-house training will continue to evolve with current events,
associated legal precedents, and tactics. This increases the likelihood of peaceful resolutions during high-profile
incidents, while simultaneously reducing the likelihood of injuries to Palatine citizens and officers.

*

Enhance community accessibility and improve efficiency in handling non-emergency incidents by working with Northwest Central
Dispatch System to implement a secure online reporting system that allows residents to conveniently report non-emergency
incidents, streamlining minor case processing and freeing resources for higher-priority calls.

Police - Issues and Initiatives

Page 167 of 342

This initiative was successfully implemented in 2026. The Department worked with Northwest Central Dispatch System
(NWCDS) to launch the Village's Online Police Reporting system in January. The department’s Neighborhood Based
Policing Commander coordinated with NWCDS to establish the system, set up user permissions, and train supervisory
personnel in the Investigation Bureau on its use. Work also continued with IT toward establishing a lobby kiosk to
further improve accessibility. Following implementation, the Department incorporated the new system into its broader
community outreach efforts by educating community partners and residents on how online reporting can be used for
eligible incidents. The formal launch was highlighted during the March Village Council presentation along with the
Department's Crime/Incident Mapping Viewer and ALPR transparency efforts.

*

Continue proactive criminal and traffic enforcement through targeted patrols, data-driven deployment strategies, and
collaboration with specialized units and task forces. Officers will focus on trending crime hotspots, repeat offenders, and
hazardous driving behaviors that contribute to crashes. This initiative will enhance community safety, improve quality of life, and
reinforce accountability through consistent, visible enforcement.
Year to date, there have been increases in arrests and traffic stops across all three patrol shifts. DUI arrests in
particular have significantly increased compared to previous years. The STEP Grant and Northeast Initiative provided
funding to conduct sustained and focused traffic and criminal enforcement. The Uniform Tactical Unit (UTAC)
continued to be a highly proactive and effective branch of patrol targeting narcotics traffickers and armed gang
members on the street level. UTAC officers remain flexible in their schedules and daily operational objectives so they
can be easily diverted to address a specific crime hotspot or emerging pattern of crime.
UTAC successfully collaborated with Special Operations Group (SOG) detectives to assist with search warrants,
intelligence, and asset seizure procedures. SOG detectives conducted several high-profile narcotics and weapons
investigations, including a recent search warrant on a violent gang member resulting in large amounts of narcotics and
weapons seizures. Through the use of various investigative technologies, personnel successfully disrupted several
gang and narcotics trafficking operations through arrests and asset seizures.
The Palatine Police Department continued its strong relationship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the United States Postal Inspectors Service (USPIS). The Task Force
Officers (TFO) assigned to these federal agencies proved to be an invaluable resource to both the Patrol and
Investigations Bureaus. The FBI Safe Streets Task Force provided manpower support for multiple gang and narcotics
operations. Because the Palatine Police Department has a long-standing relationship with the task force, the FBI came
to our aid by providing DNA forensics and genealogical analysis as well as investigative support for homicides,
financial institution fraud, and human trafficking. The DEA and USPIS task forces provided substantial asset forfeiture
and investigative assistance with money laundering investigations, crypto currency seizures, and narcotics trafficking
intelligence.

*

Work in conjunction with the Village Manager and Public Works on evaluation of the impact of the potential Bears relocation and
impact on Palatine.
At this time, there is no potential impact to Palatine as the Chicago Bears have shifted their stadium relocation to a site
in Indiana.

Police - Issues and Initiatives

Page 168 of 342

Village of Palatine
CY 2026 Proposed Budget - Issues & Initiatives
Department 42 Police
Current Year
*

Continue collective bargaining negotiations with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and the Metropolitan Alliance of
Police (MAP) to establish fair and competitive labor agreements that support recruitment, retention, and employee
stability while maintaining responsible long-term fiscal management.

*

Reestablish annual joint Rescue Task Force (RTF) training. Police and Fire personnel will participate in scenario-based
training focused on team movement, tactical and medical response, resource coordination, and command operations.
Training will be structured in multiple blocks across shifts to maximize participation while maintaining operational
coverage. This initiative will strengthen interdepartmental coordination and improve the operational readiness of both
departments during critical incidents.

*

Conduct a comprehensive review of technology and identify opportunities for strategic implementation. The review will
assess operational benefits, costs, staffing impacts, integration requirements, and potential cost savings associated
with technologies such as Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR), public video cameras, and drones. Findings
will be used to develop prioritized recommendations and future budget requests based on measurable public safety and
operational benefits.

*

Coordinate with Village Administration to develop and implement an emergency communication response plan,
including standardized messaging templates for special events and emergencies, enhanced use of the Citizen Alert
system, and coordinated staffing, communication, and security plans for designated reunification sites. Provide training
to community stakeholders to improve preparedness, coordination, and response effectiveness during critical
incidents.

*

Continue and expand the Community Engagement and Planning Division’s community engagement efforts, including
outreach to community members who speak languages other than English or for whom English is a second language,
through beat meetings, community forums, presentations, emergency preparedness initiatives, special event planning,
and partnerships with community and faith-based organizations. These efforts will enhance the department’s ability to
identify and address issues before they escalate, improve information sharing, support crime prevention, and
strengthen proactive, neighborhood-based policing outcomes.

*

Enhance data-driven patrols and targeted enforcement in crime and traffic hotspots, while leveraging specialized units
and task forces to address repeat offenders, dangerous driving, and emerging public safety concerns.

*

Through partnering with neighboring communities, implement a new social work program to addess homeless issue
with the community and region. This will be a two year commitment.

Prior Year - Status
*

FACILITIES: Continue the Fire Department facilities improvement plan with the completion of the new FD Administration annex at
Station 82, the office repurposing at Station 85, and the structural repairs of the training tower behind Station 84.
All these projects are nearing completion by the end of 2026

*

FLEET: Place one re-mounted ambulance in service in early 2026. One new administrative vehicle is scheduled for replacement in
2026.
The ambulance is slated to be delivered in October and the new administrative vehicle is awaiting outfitting.

*

CANDIDATE TESTING: The current Entry-Level Firefighter Candidate list will expire in March of 2026 and can be extended or a
new process will begin in January of 2026.
A new list was created and has been used to hire several individuals

*

FIRE DEPARTMENT AGREEMENTS: Continue working with our surrounding towns on response and service agreements. RPM
(Inverness Fire Department, Rolling Meadows and Palatine) agreements are currently being discussed and looking to make
changes based on station location and services provided. Also discussions with Lake Zurich started in 2025 and will continue in
2026 to modify an older service agreement based on improved CAD capabilities.
The Lake Zurich Agreement was discontinued, auto and mutual aid will continue using them with CAD. Adjustments will
be made to ensure equality in services provided by each department. The Inverness Agreement was reviewed and signed
by all parties in March.

*

LEADERSHIP TRANSITION AND DEVELOPMENT: With recent leadership promotions and more expected over the next several
years, succession planning and training will remain a priority. We have the right people we just need to have them ready for future
leadership roles
Succession planning has and will remain a top priority. We have integrated the Division Chief of Training into the
administrative office at Station 82. Job assignments for the administrative team have been allocated to promote learning

Description
Annual improvements to portions of the PWF that have reached their service life. The Public Works Facility, (formerly known as the Combined Service Facility) was
constructed in the 1980's when the Village served approximately 60% of the population and geographic territory it now serves. A comprehensive study indicates
the need for maintenance and modernization. This project is fully funded as of FY26 and project expenditures began to be incurred in FY25, previously budgeted
dollars rolled forward will cover the anticipated expenses to be incurred in FY27, the CSF fund can accomodate accelerated progress should the additional funds
be needed in FY27.
CY 2028 - Mechanical and plumbing repairs, Fire protection, flooring, electrical, low resurfacing, cold storage, and Michigan Avenue storage.
CY 2029 - Base 5 building adjustments, paving, landscaping, and locker rooms, lunchroom, and kitchen renovations.

Justification
This program is designed to maintain the Public Works Facility and improve the campus. Responsible management includes proper maintenance to continue the
viability of the investment and to prolong the useful life.

Description
Replacement of existing fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps with more efficient LED fixtures would be more economical over time.
CY 2030-2031 - Conversion of Lighting on Residential Streets - Construct US-14 Lighting Modernization

Justification
Operational savings from lighting retrofits include both quantifiable and qualitative benefits. Through the increased lamp life of the new fixtures, there is a direct
decrease in the cost of re-lamping as lights fail. This avoids the cost of the lamps as well as the labor associated with the replacement of lamps. Qualitative benefits
of lighting retrofits can include improved lighting quality and color, improved lighting control, instantaneous start, and increased security.

Description
This program is intended to improve drainage in rights-of-way with improvements including storm sewer extensions, addition of inlets, or alteration of surface
improvements. It additionally addresses declining storm sewer facilities in need of repair. This program is coordinated with the annual roadway maintenance
programs.
This will allow for the replacement of approximately: 50 inlets, 5 catch basins, 3 utility structures, 300 linear feet of small diameter storm sewer, 300 feet of small
diameter under drain, or a combination thereof, to maintain the integrity of the system.

Justification
The program has been in response to concerns brought forward by residents, neighborhoods, or Village right-of-way maintainers. It maintains the integrity of the
storm sewer system and minimizes public safety hazards (sink holes) and reduces potential flooding damages.

Description
Certain properties originally developed outside of the Village rely on drain tile originally installed for agricultural purposes or insect abatement. These facilities
however have become primary drainage facilities that are exceedingly challenging to maintain or may not meet current standards for size. Systematic replacement
with standard storm sewer facilities is recommended for drain tiles. Deteriorating metal pipes will also be replaced with this program.

Description
In recent more severe rain events, some sub-watersheds performed below current storm sewer system standards. In response to these observations, the Village
hired outside consultants to televise the trunk line storm sewers to determine if obstructions or failures had developed. With no major failures in the existing
infrastructure, it is believed that the original development standards allowed for facilities that would not be considered acceptable to current engineering
standards. A program is recommended to systematically study sub-watersheds. Tributary area, land use, and current rainfall data would be compared with
existing sub-watershed capacity.

2028 - Phase I analysis of the area bound by Quentin Rd the Golf course, Dundee Rd, and W Echo Ln for drainage needs. This is a potential development area if
drainage and sanitary needs can be met.

Justification
Reduce flood risk
Reduce maintenance costs
Improve the Village's approach to preservation of long term assets

Description
This program assists residents with sanitary sewer backups and property drainage issues. The reimbursement framework funds several initiatives: the Overhead
Sewer Program, Sanitary Sewer Check Valve Program, Public Storm Sewer Program, Private Storm Sewer Program, and Rain Garden Program.
The Basement Protection Program focuses on homes with non-overhead sewers, providing 50% funding for overhead sewer conversions (up to $7,500) or 50%
funding for sanitary check valve installations (up to $1,000)
The Private Storm Sewer Program assists homeowners experiencing nuisance stormwater runoff that impacts their home and property. It provides a 50%
reimbursement (up to $2,500) for a private storm sewer connection to the public system, as well as a 50% reimbursement (up to $3,000) for installing a rain
garden on private property.
The Public Storm Sewer Extension Program addresses nuisance ponding affecting two or more properties by extending the public storm sewer into the low are
to improve local drainage. This program requires a $1,200 financial commitment from each impacted property owner.
The remainder of the funding is directed toward the Public Storm Sewer Extension Program, which is integrated into the Village's annual drainage improvement
project bid out each fall.

Justification
Reduction of sanitary sewer backups into a home and improving the drainage of isolated depressional areas on private property.

Description
The 8 year sidewalk replacement program consists of:
Sidewalk Replacement and cutting to address offsets.
50/50 Sidewalk Replacement for qualifying public sidewalks.
The collective goal of each respective subcategory is to provide a safe and adequate means of transportation for pedestrians. The replacement program addresses
vertical displacements of 3/4 inches or greater only.
2027 - West of Quentin Road and South of Palatine Road.

Justification
The replacement program should be continuous in order to keep up with replacement of public sidewalks as they become damaged. This program will reduce
lawsuits which result from pedestrians injuring themselves due to deteriorated sidewalks. The criteria presently being used for 50/50 only consists of four
warrants:
A. Vertical Displacement (offsets) greater than 3/4 inch;
B. Horizontal Displacements (cracks) greater than 1/2 inch;
C. Settlement of Sidewalks (back-pitched, alignment) greater than 5%; and
D. Surface Deterioration (spalling) greater than 50%.

Description
Managing a diverse urban forest requires removal and replacement as trees age their natural life or are impacted by external factors. Certain tree species are atrisk for rapid decline as the Village historically experienced with Elm and Ash trees. Other species struggle with limited growth or low rain such as Silver Maples. In
some instances, systematically removing and replacing select trees would help control non-desireable species.
CY 2027 - Remove and replace silver maples in poor condition (175 trees)
Future - Continue with silver maple replacements and various non-desireable species

Justification
We presently have approximately 4,000 trees of a variety which are non-desireable. We have seen rapid decline of silver maple trees which make up 75% of the
non-desirable species. Systematically removing and replacing as these trees reach a poor condition improves diversity in our 25,000 parkway trees system.

Description
Replacement of curb and gutter and driveway aprons at the request of property owners in conjunction with the curb replacement and resurfacing programs.

Justification
This program should be continuous in order to keep up with replacement of public curbs as they become damaged, improve neighborhood appearance, and
provide residents an opportunity to replace unattractive curbing and the adjoining aprons. If a resident wants to "depress" their curb in order to eliminate a bump,
the Village will pay for 50% of this cost. If the Village replaces the curb & gutter adjacent to the apron for drainage purposes (no cost to the resident), then the
apron will be patched unless the resident wants to participate in the 50/50 Apron Program, at which time the Village covers up 50% of the apron replacement cost.
Discretion is given to the inspector on the project as to how many feet of curb & gutter will be replaced by the Village.

Description
This program addresses the annual resurfacing of Village streets which are in need of repair. Streets are selected each year on the basis of their condition, need
for preventative maintenance, and relationship to planned utility work under the streets. The program consists of milling of existing surface, full depth patching as
needed, and final overlay. Inflation is included in out years. Capital improvement Funding to support the Village's in-house resurfacing program.

Justification
A continual annual road maintenance program is necessary to:
1. Protect the Village investment in its road system
2. Minimize routine maintenance
3. Keep the road system at a desirable level of serviceability
4. Reduce vehicle damage, accidents, and resultant claims from poorly maintained roads.

Description
The Residential Street Reconstruction Program is designed to complement the Street Resurfacing Program. In an attempt to prolong the useful life of these
streets, a program is recommended that attempts to partially rebuild the binder course, base, and in some instances the sub-base using various methods. This
program would improve roadways with failing bases or when resurfacing is not expected to adequately extend the pavement life.
CY 2027 - Aldridge (Dead End West - Brockway)
CY 2028 - Kenilworth (Rose to Smith)
CY 2029-2031 - Reconstruction and rehabilitations matching full depth and full width road replacement with system needs, block by block.

Justification
Over the last several years, it has been observed that the effectiveness of resurfacing streets, especially on those that are on their third cycle of resurfacing, has
the useful life reduced to roughly 8-10 years. The cause of this diminished useful life has been traced back to the fact that the binder course, base, and sub-base
have begun to fail. By taking a comprehensive look at the binder course, base, and sub-base and making needed repairs, it is anticipated that a useful life in the
18-20 year range could be achieved.

Justification
The transportation objective for the Street System of the Village's Comprehensive Plan is to improve traffic circulation and promote street improvements that
improve traffic flow and safety, and that are sensitive to the land use context. By participating in the Surface Transportation Program, the Village has the
opportunity to secure federal grants for detailed design and construction while acting as the lead agency on State routes to ensure context sensitive solutions.
Goal 1 of Chapter 3 and Goal 1 of Chapter 4 of the Comprehensive Plan would be the focal point of this program.
