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.
Motion was made and seconded (M. Aleckson/P. Ahlman) to approve the 2024 Proposed Fire Pension
Budget.
All in favor, motion carried.
PAYMENT OF BILLS
The Check Register ending YTD 2023 was reviewed and Tom Kuehne asked for approval of check #750
(journal voucher 08-173) through check #755 (journal voucher 11-033).
Motion was made and seconded (T. Kuehne/M. Aleckson) to approve check #750 (JV 08-173) through
check #755 (JV 11-033).
All in favor, motion carried.

• Illinois Firefighters Pension Investment Fund (FPIF)
Adam Sielig distributed the September 2023 statement from FPIF. The Arlington Heights pension
fund portion had a Net Asset Value YTD at $126,431,211, a downturn of 3.65%.

Discussion as indicated in Closed Session heading.
Firefighters’ Pension Board Meeting – November 13, 2023 – Page 2 of 4
• Application for Duty Disability Pension FF Steven Landt – Update
Attorney Radja reported that FF Steve Landt has now been evaluated by three IME’s. 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. They
indicated they will close the account shortly. We have not yet received the final amount from the
bank. Adam will follow up again by email to finalize the bank account with a zero balance.
NEW BSINESS

It was agreed by the Board to keep all Executive Session meeting minutes as confidential.
Motion was made and seconded (A. Sielig/P. Ahlman) to keep all Executive Session meeting
minutes as confidential.
All in favor, motion carried.
• Alliant Fiduciary Liability Insurance – Policy Renewal
We had previously received the renewal of our fiduciary liability insurance provided to us by Alliant
Insurance Services. There was a slight change in the cost and it was processed for payment. The
renewal date was October 1, 2023 for one year at a cost of $5,329.00.
Motion was made and seconded (T. Kuehne/M. Aleckson) to ratify the purchase of our liability
insurance policy with Alliant Insurance Services in the amount of $5,329.00.

Motion was made and seconded (T. Kuehne/P. Ahlman) to process the 2024 renewal membership

• Death of Retired Lt. Larry Miller on October 14, 2023 - Cession of Benefits
The Board received notification and a copy of the death certificate advising that retired Lt. Larry
Miller passed away on October 14, 2023. His wife pre-deceased him, thus there is no survivor
benefit. His benefits ended as of the day of his death.
OHER BUSINESS

ADJOURNMENT
As there was no other business to present before the Board, a motion was made and seconded
(M. Aleckson/P. Ahlman) to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 10:00 AM.
