TREASURER’S REPORT Tom Kuehne distributed the Financial Report ending September 30, 2023, as well as the Projected Cash Flow report. The Financial Report indicates our total net assets to be approximately $136 million and overall the fund is doing well. We have not yet received the property taxes, so still waiting on that. On the expense side, we are 3/4 through the year and expenses are going as expected. Projected Cash Flow As indicated, we had transferred $2 million from the Village General Fund and, as shown on the report, we have a projected property tax levy starting in November and much of it in December. Once received, we should be doing fine with our cash flow. 2024 Fire Pension Proposed Budget Reviewing the Fund Summary, Tom briefly discussed the year-to-year Revenue. Year 2022 was a bad year, but this year looks good. Hopefully it will remain that way until year end. On the Expense side, we include anticipated retirements and retirees who may pass away.

The last appointment was on November 3. As of yet, he has not received any of the evaluations from the physicians. These usually take 30 to 60 days, so he anticipates having them by the end of the year. Once received, he will forward the evaluations to the Landt attorney. We will then be in a position to set a date for the hearing, probably in January. • Former U.S. Bank Account – Balance Update Adam Sielig spoke with Mary Ellen Juarez and also reached out to the rep at U.S. Bank.
