City of DeKalb 4 Proposed Budget DATE: November 13, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor Jerry Smith DeKalb City Council FROM: Bill Nicklas, City Manager Raymond Munch, Assistant City Manager and Finance Director RE: Letter of Transmittal, Proposed Fiscal Year 2020 Budget The Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2020 extends from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. This budget document compiles the numerical and narrative budgets for each General Fund department and each of the City’s capital funds, special funds, and bond funds in one volume for easy reading and reference. All City funds are balanced. The General Fund General Fund Revenues Most residents and businesses encounter City government through one of the City’s General Fund departments. The proposed 2020 General Fund expenditure budget totals $38,137,816. These expenditures are balanced by $38,267,257 in anticipated General Fund revenues. The revenues and expenditures reflect pension contributions for Fire and Police passing through the General Fund. The estimated General Fund operating reserve or starting fund balance as of January 1, 2020, is $9,423,944 or 26.01% of the budgeted 2019 General Fund expenditures of $36,231,435. In other words, the fund balance was increased by $2,021,087 in FY2019. The FY2020 year-end reserve balance is projected to be $9,553,385 or 25.05% of the FY2020 General Fund expenses of $38,137,816. The City’s estimated equalized assessed valuation (EAV) for 2019 is $592,785,395, which is $44,837,708 more than the 2018 rate-setting EAV of $547,947,687 or an increase of 8.18%. The increase in EAV is owing to new construction values of $526,098 in 2019; a conservative estimate of the re-assessment activity of the past year; the one-time recapture of $14,762,821 in EAV upon the closing of TIF #2 as of December 31, 2019; and the one-time recapture of new EAV from TIF #1 properties that will lie within TIF #3 as of January 1, 2020, which amounts to $5,157,067 in EAV. In effect, the base EAV of parcels “ascending” to TIF #3 from TIF #1 is reset from the 1985 EAV to the 2017 EAV. City of DeKalb 5 Proposed Budget The City’s Five-Year Financial Plan (2018-2022) identifies two overarching goals for the General Fund: a) Holding the Municipal tax rate under 1.5%; and b) Raising the General Fund Balance to a threshold at or above 25% of the annual General Fund expenditures and sustaining that level of reserve funds. The proposed 2019 Corporate property tax levy (payable in 2020) of $6,759,723 includes $6,269,649 for Fire and Police pensions and an additional $490,075 which the City collects to cover the Library’s general obligation bond payment. The proposed 2019 Corporate levy of $6,759,723, divided by the estimated city-wide EAV in 2019 of $592,785,395 yields a Corporate tax rate of $1.1403%, which is 4% lower than the City rate in 2018. If the Council targeted last year’s Corporate property tax rate of 1.1883%, the additional property tax revenue of $283,907 would raise the operating reserve further above the 25% of operating expenses threshold. The proposed 2019 tax levy will not cover the City’s statutory Police and Fire pension obligations totaling $7,397,938, so the balance will need to be covered by other General Fund revenues, as depicted in the table below: Actual Pension Levy Funding and Pension Obligations 2018 Actuarial 2018 Levy Difference* % Difference Obligation Funding Fire Pension $ 3,503,332 $ 3,220,517 $ 282,815 8.07% Police Pension $ 3,079,438 $ 2,796,623 $ 282,815 9.18% Total $ 6,582,770 $ 6,017,140 $ 565,630 8.59% 2019 Actuarial 2019 Levy Difference* % Difference Obligation Funding Fire Pension $ 3,920,907 $ 3,322,914 $ 597,993 15.25% Police Pension $ 3,477,031 $ 2,946,735 $ 530,296 15.25% Total $ 7,397,938 $ 6,269,649 $ 1,128,289 15.25% *To be paid from General Fund revenues other than property taxes The “ramp” in annual Fire and Police funding increases is apparent in the table, above, and is not sustainable in terms of general revenue. Without relief, the “ramp” makes the annual General Fund reserve target of 25% untenable over time without dramatic spending reductions, as in 2019, or as yet undetermined revenue increases, or both. Additionally, the 2019 Corporate levy does not cover the projected FICA contributions of $539,353 or the IMRF pension obligations totaling $647,050. It goes without saying that no property tax revenues will be available for general operations outside the pension and debt obligations. City of DeKalb 6 Proposed Budget Pending changes in the state-wide pension funding landscape may bring some relief from the steep ramp in annual pension funding obligations in the next several years. Several key factors impact the annual pension calculations that are beyond the City’s control: • The actuarial cost method which determines the actuarial accrued liabilities. The Illinois Pension Code uses a closed amortization period that relies on an arbitrary date of 2040 as the point in time when all funds must be 90% funded. This builds in increasing levels of contribution and volatility as the end of the amortization period approaches. • The fact that there are more than 650 Police and Fire investment funds that are individually managed with varying success, with an estimated shortfall of as much as 200 basis points, or 2%, per year in investment returns. A breakthrough occurred on October 10, 2019, when the Governor’s Pension Consolidation Feasibility Task Force, in conjunction with the Illinois Municipal League, presented its report. Among the Task Force recommendations was the mandatory consolidation of the 650 state-wide Fire and Police Pension Funds into two separate statewide funds operating much like the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) which currently has a funding level of 90%. The two statewide funds would handle the resulting investment pools through equal labor/management governing boards. The 650 pension groups would retain decision-making over the award of pensions. This will greatly reduce the annual costs of financial management with the consolidation of the investing, auditing and actuary services into the two statewide funds. Legislation addressing this consolidation proposal was filed in the Illinois Senate on October 28, 2019 and is expected to be considered during the Fall veto session. Reform of the actuarial cost method will be the next step and will not likely be considered by the State legislature until the regular session in the spring of 2020. This means the City will need to absorb significant pension funding increases for another fiscal year. Nevertheless, encouraging collaboration involving the Associated Firefighters of Illinois, the Illinois Municipal League, and leaders on both sides of the State legislative aisles is at work on the pension question. All General Fund revenues including property taxes; sales and use taxes; intergovernmental revenues, including state-shared income tax; gross receipts taxes (e.g. municipal utility taxes); services charges; licenses and permits; fines; and other income are projected to increase by $411,085 when compared to the FY2019 Budget. State shared revenues, in particular, are projected to increase in FY2020 as a result of strong income tax returns fueled by low unemployment in Illinois and an increase in use tax receipts generated by the taxation of internet retail sales. Most local revenues are projected to remain level to modestly increase in the coming year. The graphic on the following page identifies the sources of General Fund revenues and their relative shares of the overall General Fund revenues: City of DeKalb 7 Proposed Budget General Fund Expenses General Fund operating expenditures continue to be constrained to match general revenues. Personnel expenses inclusive of salaries and wages, FICA, Medicare, pension, and benefit costs account for 81% of the overall General Fund budget. The Proposed FY2020 General Fund Budget contains five fewer full-time staff positions and four fewer part-time staff positions than the FY2019 Budget. These reductions impacted management and non-bargaining positions. Overall, the FY2020 General Fund Budget contains 192 full-time positions and 40 part-time positions. This is the lowest staffing level the City has seen since FY2013. Aside from conventional departmental spending, which is broken down on the following chart, other significant General Fund expenditures include the following: • Tax Sharing Agreements - $1,750,000 • Debt Service - $1,662,007 • Software Maintenance - $342,315 • Other Contracted Services - $281,749 • Vehicle Fuel - $257,425 • Legal Services - $195,000 City of DeKalb 8 Proposed Budget Three notable increases that are beyond our control for FY2020 are the increases in Fire and Police pensions, IMRF pensions, and health insurance premiums. Those three budget lines in the General Fund account for a $1,194,951 increase over FY2019. If we back out those cost increases, then General Fund budgeted, discretionary expenditures will decrease by $64,307, or 0.17%, in 2020, against an increase of $411,085, or 0.04%, in General Fund revenues, when compared to the FY2019 Budget. Capital Program Streets In recent years, the City Council has pledged its commitment to capital infrastructure improvements. This commitment honors the deep community concern about failing streets in particular. The ability to maintain this commitment is based, in part, on prudent fiscal measures to segregate capital funds from operational funds and to appropriately match such funds with uses that reflect community expectations. The City’s Five-Year Financial Plan provides a “Streets and Fleet” analysis that anticipates annual allocations to address the deterioration in both capital categories. The City owns and maintains about 130 centerline miles of roads, of which 74.8% (97.3 miles) are residential streets. As of January 2019, approximately 25 miles of DeKalb roads (mostly residential) needed immediate maintenance to prevent rapid degradation. In 2019, only 2.75 centerline miles received such maintenance. At this pace, the road mileage needing urgent maintenance is growing much faster than the funds available to maintain good or very good pavement ratings (i.e. a PCI rating above 70). The average street maintenance expenditures required to keep pace total about $3.7 million per year. City of DeKalb 9 Proposed Budget It is expected that the recent 19 cent increase in the State motor fuel tax will generate about $500,000 in additional MFT revenue for the City in FY2020, for a total MFT budget of about $1.6 million. The proposed FY2020 Budget includes an additional $690,000 from an assumed 4 cent increase in the local fuel tax that would bring the overall local fuel tax to 9.5 cents per gallon (7 cents for road improvements, 1 cent for fleet replacement, and 1.5 cents for airport funding). The budgeted expenditures attack the longer list of degraded streets and alleys that would fill out the $3.7 million in annual street maintenance spending needed to hold our own. It also reduces the list of aging vehicles and equipment in critical condition, presently valued at about $4.3 million. The proposed FY2020 street improvement program totals $2,480,000 (versus $1,707,421 in FY2019), including engineering design and construction management. Several highlights are listed below: • The reconstruction of Twombly Road from Edens Garden to Annie Glidden, including sidewalk installation on the north side. The DeKalb share is $750,000 and the DeKalb Township share is $300,000. DeKalb County will perform design engineering at no cost to the City. It is anticipated that $375,000 of this project will be completed in FY2020, with the balance completed in 2021. • The re-surfacing of North Seventh Street from Lincoln Highway to Sycamore Road ($350,000); • The re-surfacing of North Thirteenth Street from Clark Street to Sycamore Road ($135,000); • The re-surfacing of North Fourteenth Street from Clark Street to Dresser Road ($165,000); • The resurfacing of Normal Road from Hillcrest Drive to Dresser Road ($150,000); • The resurfacing of Taylor Street from First Street to Lions Park ($185,000); • Aggressive crack-filling and Class D patching on Macom Drive ($100,000); and • Maintenance of various alley surfaces ($115,000). • Project design and engineering supervision: $125,000. Fleet The City’s fleet of Fire, Police, Public Works, and other vehicles includes about 170 units of varying description and function. The average age of the overall fleet increased from 5.7 years to 11 years between 2006 and 2017. This trend was a consequence of allowing vehicles to age beyond their useful life before replacing them, due to a lack of replacement funding. In 2018, it was estimated that more than one-half of the overall fleet was beyond its useful life. By 2019, the total fleet replacement value was over $12 million and the annual maintenance cost on that fleet has risen to over $300,000. Replacing those vehicles rated in declining or critical condition would cost approximately $4.3 million. City of DeKalb 10 Proposed Budget Because it is unrealistic to hope to replace all of these declining vehicles at once, a 4-year accelerated replacement initiative is proposed. This does not keep pace with annual depreciation but does aggressively reduce the backlog. Leasing programs will also be investigated in 2020. The following fleet replacements are budgeted in 2020 for a total of $1,145,000 versus $55,000 (funded by restricted police forfeiture funds) in FY2019: • Police: Replace three squad cars with three Ford Explorer Utility Squad Cars at $55,000 each or $165,000 in total; • Fire: Replace a 2005 International Navistar ambulance at $150,000 and a 2001 Pierce Saber Engine at $550,000; • Public Works (non-Water Fund): Replace a 2001 Sterling Dump Truck at $150,000; a 2001 Ford 4x4 one-ton dump truck at $70,000; and a 1998 Chevy 4x4 pickup at $40,000; and, • Community Development – Building Division: Replace a 2002 Chevy Blazer at $20,000. Citywide Fund Balances The proposed FY2020 Budget contains twenty-eight (28) principal funds with estimated FY2020 revenues totaling $103,007,448 and projected FY2020 expenditures totaling $101,864,270. The fund balances for all funds are projected to be positive at the end of FY2020, with both the General Fund and the Water Fund meeting their fund balance requirements. Fund balances for all City funds are detailed in Section 3 of the budget document. Conclusion The preparation of the annual City Budget involves many authors. The City Manager is especially grateful to Assistant City Manager, Ray Munch, for his leadership and unselfish service. Senior Accountant Bob Miller and Accountant Susan Hauman are also to be commended for their diligent and careful assistance. All City department heads and directors have worked on numerical forecasting and narratives that bring the dreary science alive to the reader. It is our shared hope that the 2020 City Budget will be a reliable and user-friendly guide to the City’s services in 2020.

City of DeKalb 14 Proposed Budget City Introduction ______________________________________________________________________________ City Overview The City of DeKalb is an urban community with a vital commercial base placed in a rural setting. It is located approximately 60 miles west of Downtown Chicago. The City’s current land area is 15.55 square miles, all of which is located within DeKalb County. Neighboring communities include Sycamore, Malta, and Cortland. The City’s current official population is 44,030 as of the 2010 Census. The City of DeKalb was incorporated in 1856 and since that time has continued to expand as new residents move farther west of the Chicago area to find quality affordable housing in a congestion-free community with a premium quality of life. The regional road system serving the City includes Annie Glidden Road, Peace Road, State Routes 23 & 38, and two direct links to I-88. The DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport is designed to accommodate private aircraft from small general aviation to large corporate aircraft. DeKalb’s downtown is the heart of the community, playing host to numerous events and providing unique dining, shopping and entertainment alternatives. The community offers excellent City services, easy mobility around the community, and access to cultural, sports and educational activities. Home to Northern Illinois University, which hosts approximately 16,609 students and nearly 3,344 faculty and staff, DeKalb is an integral part of the larger metropolitan area. NIU’s operations, capital projects and visitor spending generate over $413 million in local economic impact. The marriage of community and university provides DeKalb with a solid foundation as a regional hub abundant in major retailing opportunities. DeKalb Community School District serves the City of DeKalb with seven elementary schools, two middle schools, and one High School. Kishwaukee Community College in nearby Malta, Illinois, has an enrollment of about 3,100 students and offers a wide variety of educational offerings from two-year associate degrees to occupational certificates for persons of all ages. Council-Manager Form of Government The council-manager form of government is the system of local government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a council or board, with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. The form establishes a representative system where all policy is concentrated in the elected board and the board hires a professionally trained manager to oversee the delivery of public services. Under the council-manager form, those duties not specifically reserved by the elected body pass to the City Manager and the professional staff. Home Rule Authority The City of DeKalb is a home rule unit by virtue of the provisions of the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970. Home rule allows a community to take actions not specifically prohibited by the state statutes. Conversely, a non-home rule community can only undertake those actions specifically allowed for in the state statutes. Home rule enables a municipality or county to establish its own system of self-governance without receiving a charter from the state. Home rule shifts much of the responsibility for local government from the state legislature to the local community. The most significant powers granted to a City of DeKalb 15 Proposed Budget home rule community include the ability to enact its own police power relating to the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community, to issue bonds without referendum and exemption from property tax caps under the Property Tax Extension Law Limit (PTELL). Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) The equalized assessed value, or EAV, is the result of applying the state equalization factor to the assessed value of a parcel of property. Tax bills are calculated by multiplying the EAV (after any deductions for exemptions) by the tax rate. The City of DeKalb assessed valuation is determined by the township. The chart provided below displays the EAV comparison for tax levy years 2008-2018 for the City of DeKalb as reported in the FY2018 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. % Increase Tax Year EAV Rate per $100 Property Tax Revenue (Decrease) 2008 $645,855,095 3.53% 0.6000 $3,765,927 2009 $643,916,597 -0.30% 0.6000 $4,160,967 2010 $608,332,947 -5.53% 0.6500 $4,107,807 2011 $582,504,715 -4.25% 0.6899 $4,127,590 2012 $533,805,903 -8.36% 0.7205 $4,161,753 2013 $485,923,623 -8.97% 0.7952 $4,203,106 2014 $464,966,381 -4.31% 0.9809 $4,231,993 2015 $468,077,742 0.67% 1.0245 $5,049,737 2016 $503,861,829 7.64% 1.1942 $5,523,531 2017 $529,629,464 5.11% 1.2021 $6,153,901 2018 $547,947,687 3.46% 1.1883 $6,510,857 Community Characteristics The following statistical data and graphics provide a demographic profile of the community.

The plan envisions DeKalb in 2025. It also attempted to set the direction for City policy, budgeting, and program development for a 10-year period. Many things have changed since 2016. What has remained constant is a community expectation to receive good municipal services at a reasonable cost. The following information summarizes the City’s Mission Statement, Core Values and Vision Statements developed during the 2016 planning process, which retain relevance today. City of DeKalb 19 Proposed Budget Mission Statement A mission statement is a short description of the reason an organization or program exists. Mission statements help guide decisions about priorities, responsibilities, and actions, and as such are at the core of a strategic plan. Following is the mission of DeKalb City government developed as part of this collaborative community planning process: Deliver high-quality municipal services to those who live, work, learn in or visit our community. Core Values Core values are beliefs or convictions that guide and direct behavior and support purpose and vision. The City of DeKalb will utilize the following core values to guide its actions, shape the culture of city government, and form the basis of its standards-based performance review process. • Integrity: The state of being honest, fair, and ethical in every situation, even if it’s unpopular. • Professionalism: Serving with the highest level of respect, skill, and judgment in each situation. • Excellence: The expectation of engaging in outstanding levels of performance. • Service: Providing City services at the highest level for the advancement of the community. • Collaboration: Working together to benefit from the resources, knowledge, wisdom and understanding of others. • Accountability: Taking responsibility for our decisions and actions while doing everything possible to achieve the desired results. Vision Statements Vision statements complement the mission by describing the future state of the community if the mission were fully realized. DeKalb's vision statements, which are complemented in the plan with detailed goals, strategies and actions, are as follows: Vision of a Sense of Place DeKalb is proudly known as a welcoming, safe, and vibrant city offering economic, educational, social, cultural, and recreational opportunities for everyone. Vision of Community Vitality and a Vibrant Downtown DeKalb’s neighborhoods, the downtown, and NIU’s campus are interconnected in a dynamic interplay of energy and creativity that retains and attracts businesses with living-wage jobs. Vision of Inclusiveness Diversity is valued and celebrated, with all people treated with dignity, equity and respect. Vision of Accessibility DeKalb’s diverse and integrated transportation network provides a wide variety of local and regional transportation options in an efficient and user-friendly manner. Vision of Efficient, Quality, Responsive Services Through sound fiscal stewardship and collaboration with community stakeholders, City government identifies and coordinates the resources needed to sustain a vibrant DeKalb. City of DeKalb 20 Proposed Budget Woven together, DeKalb’s overall vision statement reads as follows: DeKalb is proudly known as a welcoming, safe, and vibrant city offering economic, educational, social, cultural, and recreational opportunities for everyone. DeKalb’s neighborhoods, the downtown, and NIU’s campus are interconnected in a dynamic interplay of energy and creativity that retains and attracts businesses with living-wage jobs that can support workers and their families. Diversity is valued and celebrated, with all people treated with dignity, equity, and respect. DeKalb’s diverse and integrated transportation network provides a wide variety of local and regional transportation options in an efficient and user-friendly manner. Through sound fiscal stewardship and collaboration with community stakeholders, City government identifies and coordinates the resources needed to sustain a vibrant DeKalb. 2019-2020 Strategic Planning Session While the City continues to place value in the DeKalb 2025 Strategic Plan, an ever-changing fiscal climate has forced the City to change course in certain areas. This has resulted in the delay or deferral of many of the projects identified in the plan. In 2018, the City Council participated in a goal-setting retreat aimed at sharpening their focus in the near-term given the City’s fiscal challenges. That process will continue throughout the life of the Strategic Plan in order to ensure the City remains goal driven. In August of 2019, the City Council and Finance Advisory Committee took part in a day-long planning session aimed at providing direction for the City in both the short- and long-term. The Northern Illinois University Center for Governmental Studies led several sessions with the goal of establishing community priorities. The following community priorities were identified through this process:  Infrastructure (Streets & Fleet)  Downtown Redevelopment  Industrial Park Development  Residential Development  Collaboration and Integration with NIU  Comprehensive Planning  Taxes & Revenues  Establishing Core Service Levels  Promoting Scholastic Achievement  Embracing Changing Demographics These priorities will assist City leadership in their FY2020 financial planning and beyond.

City of DeKalb 26 Proposed Budget DeKalb’s Budget Process The budget process is a comprehensive mechanism for developing each year’s financial plan. This process includes input and feedback from the City Council, the Finance Advisory Committee, City staff, and members of the public. According to the Government Finance Officers Association, the budget is a statement of priorities for the community that: 1) Communicates to stakeholders what services they can expect and how their tax dollars are being spent. 2) Defines how the local government allocates its resources to achieve what is important to the community. 3) Translates policies into action. In DeKalb, these principles guide the process of budget development. Consistent with the City’s Budget Policy (see pp. 215-216), the preparation of the annual City budget begins after the first two fiscal quarters and as the draft audit for the prior fiscal year is complete. In 2019, the typical inaugural meeting with the Finance Advisory Committee took the form of an unprecedented joint budget planning session with the City Council on August 16, 2019, which was facilitated by the NIU Center for Governmental Studies. In this joint meeting, which identified emerging fiscal revenue and spending trends since the close of the prior fiscal year, some key priorities and concerns were established for the FY2020 Budget. These priorities and concerns became the focus of the early budget meetings between the City Manager’s Office and our department heads, and subsequently between department heads and their staffs. For FY2020 as in recent years, priorities are reached by analyzing past data and the anticipation of future needs. Once a budget request draft is ready, it is reviewed by the City Manager’s Office and the Finance Department. Together, the executive leadership reviews major operational changes, discusses objectives, and reviews other requests. An effort is made to accomplish the City goals in the most efficient way possible. This might include combining resource requests across departments to ensure fiscal responsibility. Unjustified items or requests are removed from the budget during this process. Concurrently, other budget document items are being updated by staff. This includes statistics and other items that help show a complete picture of the City’s fiscal plan for the upcoming year. After revenue and expenditure estimates are finalized, the full draft budget is then reviewed during meetings with the City Council and Finance Advisory Committee. If necessary, further revisions are made. Finally, the recommended budget is offered for comment at a public hearing with subsequent adoption by the Mayor and the City Council. The City of DeKalb Budget is the culmination of strategic financial and operational planning. This document reflects sound decision-making and recommendations for the City’s future. The budget will be monitored, reviewed, and referenced throughout the year. City of DeKalb 27 Proposed Budget DeKalb’s Fund Structure and Basis for Budgeting Fund Structure The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are portrayed as a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, and expenditures. The various funds are grouped by type in the financial statements. Within each fund type exists one or more funds. The City has three types of funds: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Fiduciary Funds. Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the City are financed. The acquisition, use, and balances of the City’s expendable financial resources and the related liabilities (other than those in proprietary funds) are accounted for through governmental funds. • The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources traditionally associated with governments that are not required to be accounted for in another fund. • Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted by law or administrative action to expenditures for specified purposes. • Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs other than capitalized leases and compensated absences which are paid from the governmental funds. The City has two Debt Service Funds: General Fund Debt Service and TIF Debt Service. • Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed through proprietary funds or fiduciary funds) or the purchase of large capital fleet and equipment. Proprietary Funds are for those services for which the City charges customers a fee. There are two types of proprietary funds: enterprise and internal service. Enterprise funds encompass the same functions reported as business-type activities in the government-wide statements. Enterprise fund services are primarily provided to customers external to the City organization and include the water utility division and the airport. Internal service funds provide services and charge fees to customers within the City organization such as the insurance funds. • Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise. The intent of the City in using this type of fund is to determine that the costs (expense, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. • Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations and other governments. • Trust and Agency Funds consist of resources received and held by the City as trustee or agent to be expended or invested in accordance with the conditions of the trust or in its agency capacity. Pension Trust Funds are accounted for in essentially the same manner as Proprietary funds. City of DeKalb 28 Proposed Budget In determining if any agencies or entities which comprise the City for financial reporting purposes, the criteria of oversight responsibility for such agencies or entities, special financing relationships, and scope of public service provided by the agencies or entities are used. Oversight responsibility is determined by the extent of financial interdependency, control over the selection of the governing authority and management, ability to significantly influence operations and accountability for fiscal matters. Based on these criteria, there is one agency that is included in the financial statements of the City as a Component Unit. This component unit of the City is the DeKalb Public Library. Basis for Budgeting Fund Basis of Accounting Budgets for the governmental fund types (General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, etc.) is adopted on a basis consistent with “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (GAAP), utilizing the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available. Expenditures are recognized when the liability has been incurred, with the exception that principal and interest payments on general long-term debt are recognized when due. The proprietary fund types are budgeted on a basis consistent with GAAP, utilizing the accrual basis of accounting, except for capital outlay and debt principal which is budgeted as an expenditure. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) shows the status of the City’s finances on the basis of GAAP and on a budgetary basis. In most cases this conforms to the way the City prepares its budget. Exceptions are as follows: • Capital outlay within the Enterprise Funds is recorded as assets on a GAAP basis and expended on a Budget basis. • Debt principal payments are recorded as reductions of liabilities on a GAAP basis and expended on a Budget basis. • Depreciation is recorded as an expense on a GAAP basis and not expended on a Budget basis. • Debt financing is recorded as increases of liabilities on a GAAP basis and revenue on a Budget basis. It is critical that adequate fund balance reserves are kept to meet unexpected operating or capital demands and to cover any unanticipated revenue shortfalls. Internal Controls The City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the government are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and that the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Budgetary Control Budgetary controls are maintained to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of the governmental, proprietary and fiduciary funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. The budgetary level of control, the level at which expenditures cannot exceed the appropriated amount, is exercised at the fund level.

City of DeKalb 34 Proposed Budget Revenues and Expenditures The chart below provides a quick summary of revenue and expenditure trends (actuals), for all City funds for fiscal years 2016 to 2019 Estimate. 5 Year Revenue & Expenditure Trend - All Funds 100,000,000 90,000,000 Total Revenues 80,000,000 Total Expenditures 70,000,000 60,000,000 * The City changed their fiscal year ending 50,000,000 from June 30th to 40,000,000 December 31st. 30,000,000 20,000,000 10,000,000 0 2016 2016.5* 2017 2018 2019 Actual Actual Actual Actual Estimate General Fund The chart below provides a quick summary of revenue and expenditure trends for the General Fund for fiscal years 2016 to 2019 Estimate. 5 Year Revenue & Expenditure Trends - General Fund 40,000,000 Total Revenue, exlcuding 35,000,000 transfers Total Expenditures, 30,000,000 excluding transfers 25,000,000 20,000,000 * The City changed their fiscal year ending from June 15,000,000 30th to December 31st. 10,000,000 5,000,000 0 2016 2016.5* 2017 2018 2019 Actual Actual Actual Actual Estimate City of DeKalb 35 Proposed Budget The City’s policy states unassigned fund balance will be maintained at a minimum level equal to 25% of annual expenditures. The City’s fund balance had dropped down to 1% in 2010. Since that time the City has been working hard to get fund balance reserves back up to 25% of annual expenditures. FY2019 estimates for the General Fund show a surplus of $2,021,087 ending the year with a fund balance of 26.01% of annual expenditures. The FY2020 budget shows a surplus of $129,441, leaving reserves at 25.05% at the end of the fiscal year. Even though the City has a budget surplus for FY2020, the fund balance will diminish slightly from the prior year, mostly due to the rising cost of police and fire pensions, which increased $815,167 over FY2019. Water Funds Revenue estimates for FY2019 are $6,855,619, which is about $1,100,000 less than budgeted, due to loan proceeds for a watermain project coming in less than anticipated. This deficit will be a direct decrease in the expenditure anticipated for that watermain project, since the loan proceeds were determined by the project costs. Expenditure estimates for FY2019 are $6,625,386, which is about $1,500,000 less than budget. FY2019 estimates show a surplus of $230,233. The purpose of these reserves in the Water Fund is to supplement revenues during uneven cash flow or unexpected drop in revenues, as well as for the replacement, repair, and maintenance of equipment, or any unplanned capital improvements. Water Operating Fund: The unrestricted net assets of the Water Fund will be maintained at a minimum level equal to 25% of the annual budgeted operational expenses. Net position above 25% will be transferred annually to the Water Capital Fund for use in funding the Water Capital plan. Water Construction Fund: This revenue is from impact fees and is restricted for any new water main infrastructure in the City of DeKalb. Water Capital Projects Fund: This fund will be used to account for all capital revenues and expenditures to Water Capital as approved by City Council in the annual budget. Capital projects include existing water infrastructure for water mains, wells, treatment plants, pumping systems and water towers. Additionally, Water Division equipment and fleet that exceed $10,000 with a useful life exceeding one year would be accounted for through this fund and be subject to the same annual budget approval by Council. Airport Fund This fund accounts for the operating and maintenance expenses of the Airport as well as all the capital portion for the City’s local matching funds for the various grant projects included in the FY2020 budget. This fund has been supported over the years with transfers from the General Fund. In FY2017, 1.5 cents of the local gas tax was moved to support the Airport Fund due a change is legislation. In FY2018, this fund showed a surplus of revenues exceeding expenditures of $784,149. FY2019 estimates have the fund at a surplus of $48,151. The intention is to try have this fund be a “true” enterprise fund that can stand on its own. Staff has been and will continue to review current fees being charged at the Airport. Motor Fuel Tax Fund This fund accounts for capital improvements to the City’s streets and sidewalks. The fund balance is projected to increase by $39,745 during FY2020 due to less planned improvements in connection with the street resurfacing program and sidewalk maintenance. This surplus will be a direct increase in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund’s cash reserves. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Funds In FY2019, the City maintained two TIF funds, the Central Area TIF and TIF #2. The City terminated TIF #2 on December 31, 2019, at the conclusion of its 23-year lifespan in accordance with the TIF Act. The Central Area TIF is due to expire at the end of FY2021. With the end of both TIFs in sight, the City created TIF #3 in 2019. This TIF district overlays the City’s Central City of DeKalb 36 Proposed Budget Business District, including a number of parcels formerly within the Central Area TIF. TIF #3 will begin collecting incremental property tax revenue in FY2020. According to the City’s fund balance policy these funds should be self- supporting and should maintain a fund balance equivalent to meet the planned improvements identified in a multi-year capital schedule. The FY2020 Budget includes $14.5 million in planned expenditures between the Central Area TIF and TIF #3, with a projected fund balance of over $1.5 million at the end of FY2020. Refuse & Recycling Fund This fund is used to pay costs associated with the City’s refuse disposal. The budget for FY2020 shows a deficit of $204,997, which can be accounted for by the transfer to the General Fund for administrative (billing and collection) costs associated with refuse. Workers Compensation & Property Liability Fund This fund is used to pay costs associated with our Workers Compensation Liability Insurance coverage and for costs incurred as a result of accidents involving City property or employees. The City’s current fund balance policy states a $1,000,000 reserve fund balance should be maintained to cover annual premium costs and assist in funding deductible claims that come throughout the year. Ending fund balance for FY2020 is projected to be $1,010,392, which is within the range of the City’s policy. Average worker’s compensation claims over the last four years have averaged less than $260,000 which is well below budgeted dollars in those years. The worker’s compensation claims budget for FY2020 totals $400,000 to account for this average. The average property liability claims over the last four years have averaged less than $100,000. The FY2020 budget for property liability claims is $110,000, which should be sufficient based on that average.

City of DeKalb 48 Proposed Budget General Fund Revenue _____________________________________________________________________________________ General Fund revenues are primarily responsible for funding the City services that citizens interact with most often. Revenues are derived from numerous sources that can be placed into one of nine categories, as seen in the chart below. The FY2020 Budget includes $38.27 million in General Fund revenues. General Fund Revenue Summary FINES OTHER INCOME TRANSFERS IN SERVICE 2% 4% 2% CHARGES PROPERTY TAXES 9% 16% INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES 14% LICENSES & PERMITS 2% GROSS RECEIPTS SALES & USE TAXES TAXES 10% 41% Sales & Use Taxes The revenue category Sales & Use Taxes includes various taxes applied toward the consumptions of goods and services. This is the largest source of General Fund revenue, accounting for 41% of total General Fund revenues. Included in this category are the following: • Home Rule Sales Tax: The City imposes a 1.75% Home Rule Sales Tax on sales of general merchandise. The tax is not collected on sales of food, drugs, or tangible personal property that is required to be licensed or registered with the State of Illinois. The amount of Home Rule Sales Tax collected over the last several years has remained fairly constant at $6.50 million. The FY2020 budget for Home Rule Sales Tax is $6.56 million which is a modest increase to the estimated $6.50 million to be collected in FY2019. • State Sales Tax: The Illinois Department of Revenue collects a 6.25% tax on the sale of general merchandise and distributes 1% to the municipality where the sale occurred and 0.25% to DeKalb County. State Sales Tax has been fairly stable over the last few years, with collections between $5.30 million and $5.40 annually. The FY2020 budget for State Sales Tax is $5.50 million which is a modest increase to the estimated $5.45 million to be collected in FY2019. • Restaurant & Bar Tax: The City collects a 2% tax on prepared food and beverage and packaged liquor sales. This tax is administered at the local level. The FY2020 Budget includes $1.95 million in Restaurant & Bar Tax revenue, a modest increase to the estimated $1.94 million to be collected in FY2019. City of DeKalb 49 Proposed Budget  • Local Use Tax: Use taxes are imposed on the privilege of using, in the State of Illinois, any item of tangible personal property that is purchased anywhere at retail, including online purchases. This revenue source is collected by the State and forwarded to the City on a per capita basis. This tax has been trending up over the last four years as a result of the increased collection of sales taxes on internet purchases. Projected revenue for FY2020 is $1.44 million based on the IML projection of $32.75 per capita. • Hotel/Motel Tax – The City imposes a 7.5% tax on the use of hotel/motel rooms in the City. Of this 7.5%, a 1% portion is directed to the Debt Service Fund. The remaining 6.5% is General Fund revenue. The FY2020 Budget includes $300,000 in Hotel/Motel Tax revenue for the General Fund. That amount is projected to increase once the new Home2 Suites is completed. Property Taxes This revenue is derived from a tax levy on real estate within the corporate limits of the City of DeKalb. Property Taxes account for 16% of General Fund revenues in FY2020. The City of DeKalb is a home rule community and is not regulated by the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL). For FY2020 (tax levy year 2019), the City estimates a 4.73% increase in the tax levy in order to capture new EAV growth in the City and to recover TIF EAV returning to the regular tax rolls. It is anticipated that the 2019 tax levy will generate $6,269,648 in General Fund revenue, all of which will go toward the funding of Fire and Police pension funds. Intergovernmental Revenue The FY2020 Budget includes $5.48 million in Intergovernmental Revenue, which represents 14% of total General Fund revenues. Much of this revenue comes from the City’s per capita share of State Income Tax revenue. State Income Tax for FY2020 is budgeted at $4.68 million. This state-shared revenue has increased by nearly $500,000 in the past few years as a result of improving employment rates in Illinois. Other revenues in this category include Video Gaming Tax, Personal Property Replacement Tax, State and Federal Grants, and Other Shared Revenues. Gross Receipts Taxes Revenues included in Gross Receipts Taxes include Municipal Utility Tax, Telecommunications Tax, and Franchise Tax. Of the $3.61 million to be collected in FY2020, Municipal Utility Tax accounts for $2.60 million. This tax is collected on electric and natural gas utilities services in the City and has experienced modest increases over the past several years. Over the same period, Telecommunications Tax and Franchise Tax revenues have declined as a result of consumers abandoning land-line phone service in favor of wireless devices and “cutting the cord” from traditional cable TV. Service Charges The FY2020 Budget includes $3.34 million in revenue resulting from Service Charges. This represents 9% of total General Fund revenues. Of the revenues included in this category, Fire Services and Ambulances Services account for most of that revenue. The City charges Northern Illinois University and the DeKalb Fire Protection District for fire and emergency medical services to their residents. These services are estimated to generate $1.04 million in revenue for FY2020 based on current intergovernmental agreements. The City also charges users (or their insurance) for City-provided ambulance services. This revenue has increased significantly in FY2019 and will again in FY2020 as a result of an increase in the rate charged in the beginning of FY2019 and an overall increase in ambulance transports. The FY2020 Budget includes $2.00 million in Ambulance Service revenue. City of DeKalb 50 Proposed Budget Other Income In FY2020, $1.44 million, which is 4% of General Fund revenue, comes from Other Income. This revenue category is comprised of various small revenue sources that include Investment Interest, the annual TIF Surplus, Refunds and Reimbursements, and other Miscellaneous Revenue. Refunds and Reimbursements account for $546,000 and include revenues such as School District 428 funding for School Resource Officers. Licenses & Permits This General Fund revenue category includes a number of locally issued licenses and permits that will generate $868,500 in FY2020. This represents just 2% of General Fund revenue. The largest sources of revenue in this category are Building Permits, Liquor Licenses, and Crime Free Housing Registration. It is anticipated that Building Permit revenue will increase in FY2020 as compared to FY2018 and FY2019 as a result of new development activity in the central business district and our industrial business centers. Transfers In Transfers from other City funds into the General Fund account for $808,000 in “revenue” in the FY2020 Budget. These include transfers from Transportation, TIF, and CDBG Funds to reimburse General Fund expenses related to these programs; a Water Fund transfer for payment in lieu of taxes (PIOLT); and a Refuse & Recycling Fund transfer to cover the administrative cost of managing monthly refuse billing. Fines Fines issued by Police and Code Compliance personnel account for $688,500 in General Fund revenue in the FY2020 Budget. Much of this revenue is derived from Court Fines, Parking Fines, and Administrative Tow Fees. Overall, these revenues have remained level over the period of FY18 to FY2020 City of DeKalb 51 Proposed Budget General Fund Expenditures _____________________________________________________________________________________ The mission of the City of DeKalb is to deliver high quality municipal services to those who live, work, learn in, and visit our community. General Fund expenditures represent the costs associated with providing those services. Expenditures are broken down into five categories, each containing numerous individual account lines. The FY2020 Budget includes $38.26 million in General Fund expenditures. General Fund Expenditure Summary EQUIPMENT CONTRACTUAL TRANSFERS OUT 0% SERVICES 5% 11% COMMODITIES 3% PERSONNEL 81% Personnel Personnel costs account for 81% of total General Fund expenditures, or $30.79 million for FY2020. This expenditure category includes salaries and wages, overtime, employer pension contributions, and employer health insurance costs. Employee wages have remained fairly level since FY2017, largely due to staffing reductions. In FY2019, it is estimated that General Fund full-time wages decreased by more than $700,000 after the City Manager eliminated several management positions. At the same time, it is estimated that overtime increased by $265,000 due to an increased demand for services by the Fire and Police Departments. Even with the management staffing reductions, FY2020 personnel costs will rise by nearly $1.00 million for the reasons detailed below. • Fire and Police Pensions: The rising costs associated with public safety pensions continue to impact the General Fund. In FY2020, the actuarially determined City contribution for the Fire and Police Pension Funds is $7.40 million, which is an increase of $814,627 from FY2019. • IMRF Pensions: The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) reduced its assumed rate of return in FY2019, resulting in higher contribution costs for most member entities. The City’s General Fund contribution to IMRF increases from 12.00% of salary to 14.89% of salary. This results in an FY2020 contribution amount of $647,050, an increase of $155,624 over the FY2019 estimate. City of DeKalb 52 Proposed Budget  • Health Insurance: The cost of health insurance premiums will increase in FY2020 after the City experienced significant claims history in the previous year. Premium costs for the City’s PPO plan increased by about 10%, while HMO premiums fell about 0.40%. This results in an annual increase of $269,699 in FY2020. Total General Fund expenditures for FY2020 are budgeted at $4.33 million. Contractual Service Services provided to the City by others are classified as Contractual Services and represent $4.38 million, or 11% of General Fund expenditures. This category includes expenditures such as: maintenance of buildings, equipment, software, and vehicles; engineering services; legal services; training and travel expenses; and utilities. Also included in this category is $1.75 million in payments to other government agencies through tax sharing agreements. Notable FY2020 expenditures in Contractual Services include: • Maintenance – Vehicles: Because the City lacked the capital needed to properly address fleet replacement over the past decade, costs associated with vehicle maintenance are rising sharply. In FY2020, the General Fund vehicle maintenance budget will rise to $147,729, an increase of $23,405. Note that this amount only includes repairs made by others and not repairs made in-house by City mechanics. • Maintenance – Software: The FY2020 Budget shows $342,315 for software maintenance. This is a newly created account line for FY2020. In prior years, these costs were spread across various account lines; however, staff felt it was appropriate to show the total recurring cost of computer software licenses and agreements in one budget line. A notable decrease in account “63800 – Contracted Services” was a result of this change. • Snow Removal Services: In FY2019, the City Council approved a service reduction related to removal of snow on arterial and downtown sidewalks. As a result of public demand, these services have been restored in FY2020 at a total cost of $80,000. Transfers Out Any transfer of funds from the General Fund to other City funds is represented in this category. Transfers Out in FY2020 total $1.90 million, or 5% of General Fund expenditures. Much of this amount funds the City’s bond payments through a transfer to the Debt Service Fund (Fund 300) in the amount of $1.66 million. Other transfers include a $186,333 transfer to the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 400). This amount reflects the amount the City will receive in surplus payment upon close out of TIF Fund #2 (Fund 261) at the end of FY2019. Also, a transfer of $51,000 to the Airport Fund (Fund 650) is anticipated. Commodities Items purchased for use by the City are categorized as Commodities. The FY2020 Budget for this category is $1.02 million, or 3% of the General Fund budget. The three largest expenditures in this category are: • Supplies/Parts – Vehicles: As previously noted, the cost to maintain our aging fleet is significant. In FY2020, $167,222 is budgeted for vehicles parts and supplies. These purchases typically represent the material costs for the City mechanics to repair and maintain fleet vehicles. Staff labor time is not accounted for in this line item. • Ice/Snow Control Supplies: In FY2020, the City has budgeted $100,000 for road salt and an additional $21,500 for related supplies such as sidewalk salt, shovels, and other equipment. This represents less than one-half of the City’s total road salt expenditure as the Motor Fuel Tax Fund supports an additional $125,000 in road salt purchases. City of DeKalb 53 Proposed Budget  • Fuel, Oil, & Lubricants: The City has budgeted $257,425 for fuel and related purchases in FY2020. Staff has managed to reduce overall fuel consumption in recent years; however, the City will bear some additional cost in FY2020 as a result of the State Motor Fuel Tax Increase from which the City is not exempt. Equipment In FY2020, the City has budgeted $40,000 for capital equipment outlay in the General Fund budget. This represents less than 1% of the total General Fund budget. Items in this category are capital items with a value of more than $5,000 but less than $10,000. Items with a value in excess of $10,000 are budgeted in the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 420).

Within this system of local government, the City Manager is the chief operating and administrative officer. All policymaking is performed by the elected Mayor and City Council (the “corporate authorities”), and the City Manager is responsible to the Council for the proper management and execution of all Council policies. The City Manager appoints and removes all officers, department heads, and employees of the City, with the exception of the City Clerk. The City Manager’s Office is responsible for coordinating the daily operations of all municipal departments. The City Manager has the authority to serve as acting department head during any department head vacancies or delegate such responsibilities. The authority of any department head or subordinate employee is derived from the authority of the City Manager and is subject to the oversight and supervision of the City Manager. The City Manager’s Office is also responsible for a broad range of administrative duties. These include records management, which involves preparing, maintaining and retaining many of the City’s records, such as City Council minutes, ordinances, resolutions, agreements, contracts, leases, bonds, deeds, easements, permits, and petitions, as well as assisting with administering the oaths of appointed and elected officials. The City Manager’s Office prepares ordinances and resolutions for City Council meetings; prepares and distributes City Council agendas as well as agendas for the TIF Joint Review Board, Finance Advisory Committee, Economic Development Commission and other volunteer committees. The Office is responsible for updates to the Municipal Code. The Office also serves as an appointed registrar for the County Clerk by registering voters and assists with accepting petitions from candidates for all City elections. The City Manager’s Office oversees the City’s mass communication and community engagement efforts, which include administration of the City’s website, social media platforms, employee intranet, and community e-newsletter. The Office staff manage all Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests except for those submitted to the Police Department and are responsible for coordination with department FOIA representatives to ensure responses are made to the requestors in a timely manner. The City Manager’s Office supports the work of the contracted City Attorney to prosecute all ordinance and code violations in court and in the administrative hearing process. The Office maintains all files related to current ordinance violations and administrative hearing cases, in addition to documenting and recording all liens or release of liens for properties within the City. The Office also maintains all files relating to pending City litigation in claims where the City Attorney represents the City's interest and coordinates the City's efforts in furtherance of such litigation. Office staff manage all primary interaction with the City's various insurers, including insurance renewal, claim submission, coordination of defense of claims, pre-litigation efforts to collect on damages owed to the City for property damage or subrogation related matters, and insurance coverage issues. The Office also conducts a preliminary review of all claims brought against the City, in evaluating whether to accept or reject such claims, or whether to submit them City of DeKalb 63 Proposed Budget to the City's insurers. The Office manages all bankruptcy filings, class action filings and related matters pertaining to City contractors, utility customers and other parties with whom the City has a contractual relationship. Further, the Office manages interaction with any state or federal agencies in any administrative or adjudicative proceedings. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 6 6 5 PT 2 1 1 Total 8 7 6 FY2019 Accomplishments Organizational Restructuring: On December 18, 2018, the Mayor and City Council tasked the newly appointed City Manager with the responsibility of reporting recommendations to stabilize the General Fund within 30 days of his effective start date of January 1, 2020. On January 28, the City Manager proposed a number of top management layoffs and froze a number of other top management positions that were approved by the Council. In the following months, the City Manager re-structured the Community Development and Public Works departments to sharpen management roles and leadership and ensure more responsive public service. As a result of these fiscal initiatives, and operational budget restraint across all operating departments, the City’s FY2019 Budget will end the year with a surplus, and the General Fund reserve balance will be restored to 25% of budgeted General Fund expenditures. More Transparent and Detailed Council Agenda Background: Beginning on January 14, 2019, persons interested in City Council proceedings were able to view an annotated Council Agenda with a brief summary of each item to come before the Council. Appointment of Fire Chief: On January 28, the City Council concurred in the City Manager’s recommendation to promote Deputy Chief Jeff McMaster to the position of Fire Chief, effective February 1, after serving in an interim capacity since the retirement of former Chief Eric Hicks in November of 2018. Appointment of Interim Police Chief: On May 28, the City Council concurred in the City Manager’s recommendation to promote Deputy Chief John Petragallo to the position of Interim Police Chief following the retirement of former Chief Gene Lowery. The appointment was effective on June 1. Transition to New Legal Counsel: The City Manager’s Office led the search for new City legal services upon the resignation of the former City Attorney, effective May 31, 2019. The search resulted in the Council’s appointment of the firm of Rosenthal, Murphey, Coblentz, and Donahue to perform the City’s legal services, effective June 1. Better Collaboration with Other Local Taxing Bodies: Following calls by other local taxing bodies in December 2018 to convene special meetings of the DeKalb TIF Joint Review Board (JRB), the new Administration convened three special meetings on January 25, February 1, and February 15, in addition to three quarterly JRB meetings on April 26, July 26, and October 25. The focus of the special meetings was to identify the principles and structure of the JRB going forward, and to ensure public accountability, fiscal accountability, and public transparency. As a result of these meetings, the City is now tracking monthly TIF expenditures for the JRB through monthly reports, and accounting for all City staff hours billed to the TIF program. Additionally, all JRB meetings are televised live. In the three quarterly meetings, much City of DeKalb 64 Proposed Budget was accomplished, including the orderly distribution of the TIF #2 surplus, support for the implementation of TIF #3, and routine reporting on the progress of the forensic TIF audit commissioned in May for both TIF #1 and TIF #2 for the period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018. The audit has been performed by Ernst & Young, LLP. The JRB also supported the Administration's recommendation to terminate TIF #1 at the end of 2021 instead of 2022, in lieu of a requirement to surplus TIF #3 funds over time. This initiative was approved by the Council on June 10. The City Manager’s Office also coordinated the TIF redevelopment program in 2019. Among the contributions was the negotiation, drafting, and implementation of a development agreement for the $3,000,000 redevelopment of the Mooney property, known as Agora Tower, and the $2,500,000 addition to the Egyptian Theatre, plus five Architectural Improvement Program grants totaling $48,500. Annie Glidden North (AGN) Steering Committee: The AGN Task Force was dissolved by the City Council on January 14. The AGN Steering Committee was organized on March 30 and included the City Manager. A status discussion involving about 30 AGN stakeholders was held on May 9 and, as a result, a renewed focus on the creation of a non-profit, community development corporation was pledged. A governing board for that corporation, “Opportunity DeKalb,” was organized in July and incorporation filings were made in the early Fall. The corporation’s program of work is in development. New City Hall: On May 28, the City Manager recommended and the Council unanimously approved a resolution to accept the transfer of the DeKalb Park District property at 164 E. Lincoln Highway (former Nehring/First National Bank building). Moving “city hall” from the present location at 200 S. Fourth Street to the downtown area will bring significant foot traffic to the downtown core during the regular workweek. The final transfer was approved by the Council on July 22 and by the Park Board on September 5. Related to this move, the Administration negotiated an intergovernmental agreement with the DeKalb Public Library Board to host Council and Plan Commission meetings in the Library’s Yasunas Room. This agreement was unanimously approved by the Council on July 22 and by the Library Board on August 14. Barb City Manor Lease: In May and June, the Administration negotiated a 10-year lease extension with Barb City Manor that was unanimously approved by the Council on June 24. Staff also worked closely with Barb City Manor to coordinate projects that would close out any remaining TIF #2 funds dedicated to facility improvements. Industrial Development: The Administration conducted negotiations with the Park 88 Group, LLC led by Mark Goode, to amend the 2004 development agreement. The purpose was to revise the original concept plan to recognize Park 88’s many successful parcel developments (e.g. Target, 3M) and feature the remaining developable parcels. The revised development plan and annexation agreement were unanimously approved by the Council on July 22. Since the spring of 2019, the City Manager has represented the City government in negotiations with two significant industrial prospects interested in the Chicago West Business Center, which is located south of I-88, between IL Rt. 23 and Crego Road. One is a food manufacturer hoping to develop a 1,222,400 square foot food distribution center and a 466,560 square foot packing center on approximately 106 acres north of Gurler Road, with later phases of development planned for the remaining acreage of the current Chicago West Business Center of 343 acres. The other is a knowledge-based company interested in developing on 300-400 acres immediately south of Gurler Road in what would be an extension of the Chicago West Business Center. City of DeKalb 65 Proposed Budget In anticipation of the food manufacturer’s commitment to DeKalb, the City Council reviewed and adopted amendments to the original Chicago West development and annexation agreements on October 28, to acknowledge the changed market interest just as they did with the Park 88 development. Landlord-Tenant Relations: In the fall of 2018, the community’s attention was drawn to a pattern of landlord neglect and cynical indifference to tenant health and safety at a number of large, multi-family rental properties owned by the Hunter management group. The Administration coordinated life-safety inspections with the collaboration of the Fire Department and legal services. The City’s Crime-Free Housing function was re-organized as a result and relocated to the Police Department from the Building Department so the staff can focus on its crime-free mission. Additionally, the Council directed the Administration to vigorously seek judgments brought against the offending property owners and managers and to enforce judgments through the courts if necessary. Sale of City Properties: On May 28, the Council authorized the City Manager to pursue marketing and real estate listing for the former City Hall Annex at 223 S. Fourth Street, and on August 12, the Council authorized the City Manager to pursue similar listings for seven additional properties. Since August, the City Council has accepted offers for five properties in the total amount of $219,800. Cannabis Dispensaries: The Administration prepared a Committee of the Whole presentation on August 12 and a regular Council meeting “Consideration” on September 9 to advance a local zoning and regulatory framework for the sale of recreational cannabis to adult users over 21 years of age in DeKalb. The Plan Commission recommended specific guidelines on October 9 and the Council polished and approved new guidelines over two meetings on October 28 and November 12. Syndeo: From July through September the Administration negotiated a ground lease with Syndeo Networks, Inc. for a portion of the City’s Airport maintenance property at 2200 Pleasant Street. On October 14 the Council approved the lease, authorizing Syndeo to build the City’s new data center as well as a hub for Syndeo’s fiber-optic network on the Airport property. Airport Upgrades: The Administration negotiated and the Council approved an agreement with the Daley Group on October 14 to help secure federal funds for nearly $9 million in Airport projects planned but not funded over the remaining two years of TIF #1. The consultancy will also pursue federal funding for DeKalb’s future transit center and food hub in the AGN neighborhood. New Debt Collection Process Implemented: On February 25 the City Council authorized an agreement with Municipal Collections of America (MCOA) to pursue outstanding accounts more expediently and with less cost. Under Illinois law, a collection fee can be added to debts placed for collection. If the debtor does not pay, MCOA receives no reimbursement. In addition, once a debt has been sent to collection, MCOA handles all payments and inquiries. Past due accounts include unpaid parking tickets, ambulance bills, and fines for local ordinance violations. FY2020 Initiatives 2020 Census Outreach: The City’s Complete Count Committee is committed to helping the Census Bureau get a complete count of the residents of DeKalb, beginning on April 1, 2020. For everyone that is counted, the City receives approximately $1,535 per capita according to the Illinois Department of Human Services. Maximum effort will be given to “hard to count” residents such as those who rent, children under 5, the homeless, low-income families, seniors, undocumented individuals, and others. City of DeKalb 66 Proposed Budget Relocation to New City Hall: The City’s administrative offices will be relocated to the Nehring building at 164 East Lincoln Highway in late January or early February. The City does not take possession until January 1, 2020, after which some internal improvements will be made, and the City’s IT Department will be busy making the transfer of the necessary infrastructure. Future Use of 200 S. Fourth Street Property: After the relocation of the City’s administrative offices, the City administration will bring options to market the former City Hall “block” to the City Council. Downtown Streetscape Upgrade and Reconfiguration. Preliminary concepts for making the downtown business district more “walkable” and a preferred destination for shopping, dining, renting and entertainment have been discussed with our downtown merchants and IDOT. Conceptual plans and funding options will be presented to the Council in late winter. Chicago West: The continuing market interest in this business park grows as DeKalb projects a more business-friendly posture. It is expected that considerable staff time will be devoted to the development of this area in 2020, and the coordination of that effort will fall to the City Manager’s Office. Park 88: The further development of infill lots suitable for large-scale distribution and manufacturing is expected and will be strongly encouraged.

The purpose of Human Resources (HR) is to administer all aspects of personnel services, including recruitment, selection and retention, management of employee benefits programs, workers’ compensation administration, occupational health and wellness programs and participation in labor-management and contract administration for three bargaining units (AFSCME, FOP and IAFF). HR is responsible for establishing, administering and effectively communicating sound employment policies, rules and practices that treat employees with dignity, respect and equality. This occurs while maintaining the City’s compliance with all employment and labor laws, management directives and labor agreements. Additionally, HR administers personnel management systems and employee orientation and training. HR also works to attract potential employees by disseminating employment information to colleges, universities, municipalities and media as well as assisting prospective employees through the recruitment process. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 2 2 2 PT 3 1 1 Total 5 3 3 FY2019 Accomplishments Recruitment and Job Evaluation: HR processed the hiring and onboarding of new employees in several departments across the organization. HR continues to work with departments to help fill positions as they become open. The process includes the review and updating of job descriptions, job analysis to ensure proper placement of positions in the City’s salary ranges, and conducting market surveys to ensure competitiveness and internal equity. Public Safety Recruitment: As a result of entry-level Police Officer testing completed at the end of FY2018 and ongoing certified Police Officer recruitment, currently five new Police Officers have been hired in FY2019 to fill positions vacated by retirements. Testing for Telecommunicators was also performed in FY2019 with the hiring of three new Telecommunicators to fill open positions. BS&A HR Module Implementation: The HR module provided through BS&A Software was implemented during the second quarter of FY2019. The HR module allows for easier sharing of information, the ability to track current employee records and historical information in a central location, and enhanced headcount tracking and reporting. The employee self-service option allows employees to request changes to their personal information, check leave balances, etc. while reducing HR manual entry. Compliance and Regulatory: FY2019 brought many enacted and upcoming federal and state legislative changes that impact employment policies and practices. HR revised the City application and interview practices to ensure compliance with the amendments to the Equal Pay Act and reviewed current pay City of DeKalb 70 Proposed Budget practices to ensure adherence to the Illinois Minimum Wage Law and the Fair Labor Standards Act revised salary exemption. HR also updated the City’s CDL program to ensure compliance with all regulatory and training requirements. Labor Relations: The Fraternal Order of Police and City management representatives completed Interest- Based Bargaining (IBB) training and began the IBB process with a goal to reach a collaborative collective bargaining agreement. Labor-management meetings have continued between management and AFSCME to maintain communications and to cooperatively discuss and resolve concerns that may arise, and the City continues to work with IAFF to maintain a collaborative relationship and address labor-management matters as they arise. Health Insurance Committee: HR reestablished the employee Health Insurance Committee with representation across all bargaining and non-bargaining units. Quarterly meetings were held to increase employee communication, promote wellness initiatives, and educate employees about benefits options. FY2020 Initiatives Performance Evaluations: As part of the FY2019 budget, the on-line performance management program was eliminated as part of cost containment efforts. With major reorganizational activities occurring in FY2019, the City decided to temporarily suspend employee performance evaluations to ensure equity across the organization as many employees had new managers and ever-changing responsibilities. Based on employee and managerial feedback, HR spent time in FY2019 identifying a performance evaluation tool that set clear, relatable performance expectations for each employee and allowed two-way feedback regarding employee performance. After further internal review and approval by the City Manager, HR plans to roll out the new evaluation form in the first quarter of 2020 to allow managers and employees to collaboratively set goals and identify primary areas of responsibility. Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act and Employee Impacts: Effective January 1, 2020, the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act amends the state’s Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act and makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees for use of “lawful products” including cannabis. HR will be reviewing and updating the Drug and Alcohol Usage Policy and educating supervisors and employees on how to spot signs of cannabis impairment and establishing procedures for documenting and reporting observations.

The Department is dedicated to maintaining a fiscally sound government organization that adheres to legal requirements and financial management principles, and apply such resources in a manner which is most beneficial to the residents and businesses of DeKalb. Routine responsibilities of the Department include the following: cash and investment management, budgeting, auditing, debt administration, bi-weekly payroll processes, accounts payable/accounts receivable, utility billing, local tax collection and regulation, property tax levy preparation, and the auditing of Illinois Motor Fuel Tax funds. The Department is dedicated to providing residents and businesses with exceptional government financial management. The Department's commitment to financial excellence has been recognized nationally by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), which has presented the Department with the Certificate for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 7 6 5 PT 2 2 2 Total 9 8 7 FY2019 Accomplishments Attained a 25% General Fund balance reserve level: The City has financial policies that have been incorporated within the budget document and are based on “Best Practices” formulated by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). One of the policies is to attain and maintain a reserve level in the General Fund at 25% of annual expenditures. This was achieved in FY2016 and was maintained through the budget process for fiscal years 2016.5, and 2017. The City Council did not budget the required reserve level in 2019. However, through some extraordinary personnel adjustments and constrained department spending, it is projected that the reserve will be restored by the end of 2019 and in 2020. Conversion from an outdated Financial Software system to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system: The Finance staff completed the conversion to a new, true ERP system. This conversion has automated many financial practices previously done with Excel or Access, increased the level of customer service by having more on-line payment and inquiry capabilities for residents and business owners of the City, and created efficiencies between departments. This major initiative began in 2018 when the City upgraded the General Ledger application, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Utility Billing, Licensing, Tax Collections, and Cash Receipting as well as streamlined several current practices. In 2019, the final stages of the conversion included Payroll and several Human Resource applications, and were completed. City of DeKalb 74 Proposed Budget Credit Card payment upgrade: The City implemented an online payment solution in tandem with the ERP conversion noted above. With this system, the chosen vendor processes the payments, updating our software applications in real-time, thus giving our customer support staff the most current information to provide a higher level of service to our customers. This first step allows us to accept online payments (credit card & ACH) and phone payments for our utility billing customers. The City also rolled out an online payment solution for our administrative hearing cases and parking tickets. Once again, this solution updates our software application in real-time. Department Re-Organization: In order to meet the fiscal challenges facing the City in 2019, the City Manager implemented a reorganization of the Finance Department. This included the elimination of the Director and Assistant Director positions. The Department now operates under the oversight of the Assistant City Manager, with operating assistance from the Senior Accountant. Forensic TIF Audit: In 2019, at the request of several local taxing districts, the City agreed to a forensic audit of tax increment financing funds. Finance staff worked with auditors from Ernst & Young to gather historical records for the City’s two TIF funds for the period 2009 to 2018. The forensic nature of this audit required much greater depth than a typical financial audit, and staff spent considerable time locating and providing records to justify expenditures out of the TIF funds. FY2020 Initiatives Bringing the City’s Bond rating back to Aa3: In September 2018, the City’s bond rating was downgraded from Aa3 to A1 with a “negative outlook” by Moody’s Investors Service based on the large pension liability the City has shown for the Police and Fire Pension Funds. In FY2020, the City goes back to funding these two pension funds to a greater extent through the property tax levy with a higher funding commitment. In 2010, the City dropped to the lower funding method that is allowable in the State of Illinois to fund these two pension funds. By changing to a higher funding method, increasing the City reserves and reviewing all actuarial assumptions used to calculate the pension obligation annually, the City is hopeful it can push this rating back up to at least Aa3 in the next couple of years. A number of key factors can help in the short run: maintaining the City’s commitment to a 25% General Fund reserve ratio; reducing the City’s debt (accomplished with the 2019 Refunding Bond issue in October, 2019), and expanding and diversifying the property tax base. Investment Management: In 2020, the Department will look to improve the City’s investment income by seeking investments that yield a higher rate of return than what has been achieved in recent years. In past years, the City held a portfolio of fixed-income investments, primarily Certificates of Deposit; however, most of those instruments were cashed out upon maturity and were not reinvested due to the low interest rate environment. Capital Leasing Program: In an effort to stretch the available funding dedicated to fleet and capital equipment replacement, the Department will continue to investigate the possibility of instituting a capital leasing program. Fleet leasing is becoming increasingly popular in the government space. This model may help the City, from a cash flow perspective, replace more vehicles in a shorter timeframe than would otherwise be possible paying full purchase price upfront.

While IT does purchase, fix, and maintain computers, laptops, phones, servers and other electronic devices, the department does much more for the City organization. The first and foremost responsibility for IT is providing the capability to collect, protect, and allow access to data. Technology is the vehicle to provide City decision-makers access to data and IT strives to not only streamline that process, but also to increase the amount of information available. IT is responsible for the confidentiality and integrity of the City’s data through policy and technology. Additionally, IT facilitates and encourages collaboration and data sharing within the City and with external customers and agencies. IT also evaluates processes to find efficiencies to save the City money and time and to facilitate customer service. The IT Department is constantly evaluating current processes, data collection and use, current technology and service capabilities in order to increase efficiencies, assist stakeholders with better information, keep with evolving technology trends and ensure maximum uptime of technology. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 4 4 3 PT 0 0 1 Total 4 4 4 FY2019 Accomplishments Enterprise Resource Planning: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a software solution that moved City operations to a central software platform. This project has been fully implemented. All departments are using this new software which provides efficiencies and improvements to all processes within the City of DeKalb. Microsoft Office 365: This project has moved into an advanced phase. The use of SharePoint within departments has provided a collaboration tool for communications and document sharing. SharePoint has also been used to create a new Intranet for city employees to get information, forms from Human Resources or Finance, and learn about events happening in all departments. SharePoint implementation has provided new ways to communicate and collaborate for all employees. City of DeKalb 78 Proposed Budget Redesigned City Website: As part of the initial contract with CivicPlus, a redesign of the City website was implemented in 2019. Working with internal departments and outside contributors, a redesign of the website has been completed. This redesign provides better communication to the public and allows them to access the information they desire easier. The redesign provides a fresh look that is accessible to all digital platforms that include phones, tablets, computers, etc. Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity: Identical Unified Computer Systems with a Storage Area Network has been installed at City Hall as well as the Police Department. Snapshots of the systems are created every 4 hours and then replicated to their partner in the other building. This provides replication of the systems with each other to ensure disaster recovery as well as business continuity. Geographic Information Systems: Implementing the “Collector” application provided by Environmental Systems Research institute (ESRI) for mobile GIS has greatly benefitted Public Works because those personnel are able to add and update the City’s GIS features directly in real time while out in the field. Additionally, Collector was installed on the City’s engineering-grade GPS devices allowing positions of land features to be captured within an accuracy of one inch. The Utility Division staff are now able to easily and accurately update our water-related GIS features such as hydrants, valves, and water main lines among many others. Squad Car Camera Systems Upgrade: IT assisted in the implementation of high-definition (HD) camera systems in new squad cars that require a server and storage upgrade. This allows for the continued installation of high definition systems in existing squad cars and new cars as they are purchased. The server system is also compatible with existing in-car video systems to allow the continued use of those recording devices. It provides a visual representation of events that occur in and around the squad cars for our Police officers. Ambulance Software Transition: IT facilitated the transition to new ambulance software. This required the installation and configuration of new tablets in all six ambulances and implementation of data-sharing with our Computer Aided Dispatching software. The result is faster sharing of information from dispatch or medical providers to the paramedics who are providing care to people in need. FY2020 Initiatives Data Analysis: IT has placed an increasing importance on data over the past two years. The IT staff have worked to build a foundation by implementing the BS&A Software ERP, SmartGov, Incode, and Office 365, and next steps will be formulated for 2020. The first item is data relationship-building using a data warehouse. A data warehouse is a repository for data from several disparate data sources. From the data warehouse, tools can be used in a much easier fashion to query, display, and visualize the City’s data, and centralize base data such as addressing for consistency. Initially, IT plans to use small datasets from different systems and begin building automated processes. Once refined, the processes can be expanded to more data sources to provide more useable data to combine, report, and visualize information. City Hall Move: IT will help facilitate the move of City Hall to 164 E. Lincoln Highway. We will be ensuring the technological backbone of the building itself to ensure our users have uninterrupted access to all of their resources. The implementation of new fiber to connect to our existing infrastructure and buildings will provide for our future needs. We will also be moving our City Hall datacenter to the Airport property to provide geodiversity for our data. Replication between the new location at the Airport and the Police City of DeKalb 79 Proposed Budget Department is essential for disaster recovery purposes. The backbone to implement this plan will need to be engineered and implemented. Channel 14 Broadcast and Recording Equipment: With the move of City Hall, our broadcast meetings will also be moved to the Yasunas Room in the lower level of the Dekalb Public Library. The equipment to record and broadcast Channel 14 is over 10 years old and has reached the end of its useful life. IT will need to replace the equipment with updated cameras and wiring, consolidate the number of cameras, and change the recording, scheduler, and character generation equipment. This is the perfect time to implement this change to our system. It should be noted that the City’s investment will enable the Library to broadcast special events or meetings. Public Safety Body Cameras: IT will assist in developing a pilot body camera program to be initiated by the Police Department. This initiative will provide analysis of usage, data needs, cost, and feasibility of the system. This would require new hardware, installation, maintenance, training, storage and policies. The purpose of the pilot program is to determine if full implementation could be fiscally possible in the future. Geographic Information Systems (GIS): The IT Department’s largest GIS commitment for 2020 is more comprehensive online mapping. This will include more interactive maps with a greater amount of content for both people within the organization and the public. A major initiative to realize this commitment is to install Portal for ArcGIS, which controls data security for both internal and external users. An emphasis will be placed on using Story Maps to convey information in an easily consumable format on the internet so City staff can educate stakeholders on the City’s initiatives, information, and resources. Enhanced data initiatives in 2020 include adding building footprints, updating the tree inventory, and special use permits. The GIS will also be used as a repository for all zoning district ordinance changes, geographically linking PDFs of the approved City Council ordinances for easy retrieval.

The department is obligated to preserve the peace, enforce laws and ordinances, and protect the constitutional rights of all people. The Police Department seeks to employ effective policing strategies, develop community partnerships, and engage in the efficient deployment of resources to fulfill our vision and mission statements. The Police Department’s Vision Statement is: “A city where our families, businesses, and culture prosper in an environment in which all people are treated with dignity, equity, and respect.” Our Mission Statement is: “The members of the DeKalb Police Department are committed to reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life through an active partnership with our community.” To realize this Vision and Mission the Department must work in partnership with our community. Therefore, the Police Department embraces Intelligence-Driven Policing, Community Policing, Co-Policing, and the best practices in proactive policing to reduce crime, improve public safety, and enhance our quality of life. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 80 80 80 PT 15 14 16 Total 95 94 96 FY2019 Accomplishments Project H.O.P.E. (Heroin/Opioid Outreach Prevention and Education): Project H.O.P.E. has been in effect for approximately one year. Project H.O.P.E. strives to intercept opioid abuse at the earliest point possible by getting opioid users into treatment prior to entering the criminal justice system. The program has helped place 11 people into various addiction treatment facilities in the past year. Additionally, the program has provided information and assistance to numerous others seeking help. In the battle against the opioid epidemic, the Police Department has continued to partner with other organizations including the DeKalb County Health Department, the DeKalb County State’s Attorney’s Office, DeKalb County Probation Office, and Northern Illinois University. The Police Department helps to educate the community about the opioid epidemic by participating in presentations such as the NIU STEM Café and helping the DeKalb County Health Department provide training on the use of lifesaving NARCAN medication. The Police Department plans to expand Project H.O.P.E. throughout the county and will work with area law enforcement agencies to train other officers on how to place those in need into treatment centers. Safe Streets Initiative: In 2018, the Police Department implemented the Safe Streets Initiative to reduce crime and enhance the quality of life in the northwest quadrant of the City. This area, year-to-year, has had the highest call volume, crime, and demand for public safety services in the City. The Safe Streets City of DeKalb 84 Proposed Budget Initiative is a comprehensive policing strategy that combines a variety of proactive policing practices, including enhanced parking regulations. In 2019, the Police Department continued to evaluate the original Safe Streets ordinances and their effectiveness. The Police Department held numerous public meetings, door-to-door surveys, and discussions concerning the Safe Streets Initiative in the Ellwood Historic District and other neighborhoods. During these engagement efforts, some residents requested fewer restrictions, while others requested additional restrictions. The program has been modified based on these discussions to ensure that this program is fulfilling its mission. The program will continue to be evaluated on an ongoing basis. Crime Reduction Strategies: In 2019, the Police Department continued to employ a data-driven policing model focusing resources in problematic areas to address quality of life concerns and specific crime problems. Some strategies include Community Oriented Policing and Problem Oriented Policing programs as well as community engagement, and community policing methodologies to reduce crime and enhance public safety. The DeKalb Police and its co-policing partner, the Northern Illinois University Public Safety Department, will continue to work together regarding all aspects of proactive and community policing. Co-Policing with the Northern Illinois University Public Safety Department: In 2019, the partnership continued to grow between the DeKalb Police Department and the Northern Illinois University Public Safety Department. The co-policing program was designed to enhance community safety on campus and within neighborhoods adjacent to the university. From attending each other’s roll calls, training together, patrolling together, and working collaboratively to implement proactive policing measures to reduce crime, this partnership has proven beneficial to our community and the university. The COMPASS Program: In 2018, the Police Department deployed an innovative program to address juvenile crime called “COMPASS.” COMPASS or Changing Outcomes by Making Parents Accountable, Supported, and Successful, is a multi-disciplinary approach involving a variety of community stakeholders. Its purpose is to reduce juvenile delinquent behavior at the earliest stage possible, by engaging appropriate support for juveniles and their families to constructively modify behavior. In 2019, the COMPASS program supported over 20 families in attempts to reduce juvenile delinquency. Additionally, literature was created and provided to parents of children engaged in delinquent behavior. This engagement has been well received and seems to be an effective deterrent. Overall feedback received from parents and guardians has been very positive. 911 PSAP Consolidation: The State of Illinois mandated the consolidation of 911 Communications Centers, also known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), to be completed by July 31, 2019. As a result of this mandate, the DeKalb Police and DeKalb County Sheriff’s communication centers are now the only 911 Centers operational in DeKalb County. The DeKalb Police Department worked collaboratively with the DeKalb County Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) and Northern Illinois University Public Safety Department to enable the DeKalb Police Communications Center to handle Northern Illinois University’s 911 calls beginning on June 4, 2019. This resulted in a smooth transition and efficient provision of dispatch services. Law Enforcement Agency Accreditation: In 2019, the DeKalb Police Department successfully met all the criteria required to become a top-tier accredited law enforcement agency by the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP). The Police Department participated in an on-site assessment of its policies, procedures, operations and facility as part of the accreditation process in May 2019. The benefit City of DeKalb 85 Proposed Budget of becoming an accredited law enforcement agency is ensuring that the department’s policies and procedures represent the best practices in the law enforcement profession, as determined by a credentialed and esteemed professional accreditation board. Community Relations Team: The Police Department is acutely aware of how important relationships are with the community we serve. In order to create, sustain, and enhance community ties with our department, we have created a new Community Relations Team. The team consists of six patrol officers, one detective, one sergeant, and two members of the command staff that will work together on numerous community relations initiatives. Many of these initiatives were previously conducted, however, this team will engage in a more coordinated effort to better address our community’s needs. When combined with our philosophy of proactive and problem-oriented policing, these community engagement efforts should lead to a reduction of crime in our community, while at the same time increasing public trust, which is crucial to the mission of our organization. Cultural Diversity, De-escalation and Procedural Justice Training: A variety of training initiatives were provided to personnel within the Police Department during 2019. Some of them include Tactical De- escalation of Nonviolent Encounters, De-escalation and Smarter Policing, Legally Justified But Was it Avoidable?, and Racial Intelligence Training and Engagement. These trainings focus on techniques for avoiding violent encounters, self-awareness and officer wellness, as well as procedural justice pillars of fairness, impartiality, and transparency. The goal of these training initiatives is to enhance public trust and continue fostering relationships between the community and the Police. FY2020 Initiatives Full Implementation of the Countywide Digital Radio Network: This project was largely constructed in 2019, with the County building three new radio communications towers throughout the county and installing a new digital radio network as well as reconstruction of an existing VHF radio system. Full implementation is planned in 2020, with the DeKalb Police Department Communications Center featuring new radio consoles, a state-of-the-art communications infrastructure, with a county-wide interoperable radio network to support Police and Fire operations on the street. This combination of public safety resources creates a rare opportunity to have all public safety providers within the county on the same radio platform, working in concert to serve our residents. Implementing Crisis Intervention Team Training: Over the past two years, the Police Department has participated in various mental health initiatives as part of the federal Police-Mental Health Collaboration Program. In 2020, the department will embark on a concerted effort to provide a 40-hour training course in Crisis Intervention Team tactics. Team members will become specialists in intervention with persons experiencing a personal crisis due to behavioral health issues. In addition, an embedded social worker provided through the Northwestern Medicine Ben Gordon Center is expected to begin working full-time within the Police Department in 2020 as part of the Crisis Intervention Team. Implementing a Proactive Behavioral Health Program: The Police Department, in partnership with the Northwestern Medicine Ben Gordon Center, has developed a strategy to more effectively address the rising demands for service that involve individuals afflicted with behavioral health challenges. The program focuses on two primary goals: additional Crisis Intervention Team training opportunities for Police officers and the embeding of a social worker in the Police Department to work with non-criminal incidents involving behavioral health issues. The program has already started and will be fully operational in 2020. City of DeKalb 86 Proposed Budget Police-2-Citizen Website: The Police Department has been working towards a web-based platform for citizens to query Police information. In 2019, the Police-2-Citizen (P2C) website has been implemented and prepared for public release. This site will increase the transparency of the Police Department by allowing residents to query arrests and incidents, and offer a self-reporting application for some low-level incidents. Body-Worn Camera Pilot Study: After years of attempting to budget for body-worn cameras, the DeKalb Police Department will embark on a pilot study in 2020. This study will allow a group of officers to test several models of cameras and select the best option for our technological and operational needs. The program will also examine the best method for video retention and redaction as well as personnel needs. The pilot program is expected to lead to full implementation of body cameras in future fiscal years as funds become available. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Assessment Program: The Police Department has assisted community members and businesses with security assessments and recommendations for improved security needs for years. Recently, our department sent a supervisor to be trained and certified in CPTED theories and practices. This concept, although similar to our past practices, is based on the theory that proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in both the incidence and fear of crime while also improving the quality of life. The Police Department will formally offer field assessments and recommendations for schools, businesses, organizations, and other stakeholders upon request. The department believes that working with our community and providing these field assessments can lead to a reduction in crime and an increase in the quality of life for our residents. Citizen’s Police Academy (CPA): For the first time since 2009, the Police Department will be hosting a Citizen’s Police Academy for our community. We can think of no better way of engaging our community and building citizen-police relationships, as well as fostering trust than to provide this opportunity. Through education, citizens can gain insight and understanding into how Police officers perform their duties while serving the community. CPA participants will attend a 10-week course where they will gain an understanding of the organizational structure of the Police Department, training, recruitment, patrol procedures, traffic and accident investigation, domestic violence investigation, major case investigation, crime scene processing, gang and drug investigation, use of force situations and simulations, the role of the prosecutor, and many other facets of law enforcement.

Fire Department ______________________________________________________________________________ Department Introduction The Fire Department is committed to seeking innovative and effective ways to protect the lives and property of local residents and businesses through fire suppression, rescue, emergency medical services, education, prevention, and training. The focus of the Fire Department has expanded from responding to fire emergencies to preparing to address an array of hazards to protect the community, including fire investigation, aircraft rescue and firefighting, emergency management, mass casualty response, water rescue, post-fire assistance, and fire and life safety inspections. The depth of our service extends to serving the public with everyday needs such as home safety checks, changing smoke detector batteries, and assisting persons with mobility needs. All these services and resources are available year-round, 24 hours a day. The Fire Department is comprised of two sections: Operations and Administration. The Operations section is comprised of the boots-on-the-ground Firefighters who respond to everyday emergencies from three fire stations. The FY2020 Budget authorizes 54 sworn firefighters who work a 24-hour on/48-hour off schedule. Minimum daily staffing is thirteen firefighters. When emergency requests outpace available on- duty staffing, or when the Fire Department responds to a large-scale incident such as a structure fire, the department relies on “recalls” of off-duty firefighters to staff our fire apparatus. The Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief of Training, and one Administrative Assistant make up the Administration section, which supports every aspect of the Operations side of the Fire Department while also providing full public assistance. The Fire Chief oversees staffing, manages facilities and fleet, implements policies and procedures, monitors budget and payroll, and enforces fire codes. The Deputy Fire Chief is responsible for fire service training, daily scheduling, and emergency medical services. In addition, the Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief provide 24-hour administrative support and respond to large-scale emergency incidents in the City and throughout DeKalb County. The Administrative Assistant is a 40-hour employee whose primary responsibilities are customer service, fulfilling Freedom of Information Act record requests, managing documents, billing for services rendered, paying invoices, acting as a liaison to boards, processing reimbursements and grants, and completing projects assigned by the Fire Chiefs. The Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief are sworn fire personnel whose primary responsibilities are to provide direction for the Fire Department. Firefighters must fill vacant positions daily, on an overtime basis, to staff fire apparatus and perform necessary tasks, including vehicle maintenance, public education, event staffing, and special operations. In 2019, three positions were eliminated: Deputy Fire Chief of Operations, part-time Office Associate, and paid part-time intern. The administrative staff was reduced from four full-time personnel and two part- time personnel to three full-time personnel. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 58 57 57 PT 2 1 0 Total 60 58 57 City of DeKalb 97 Proposed Budget FY2019 Accomplishments Appointment of a new Fire Chief: In November of 2018, Fire Administration permanently eliminated the Deputy Fire Chief of Operations, one Office Associate, and an Intern position due to budget reductions. On January 28, 2019 Interim Fire Chief Jeff McMaster was promoted to the position of Fire Chief. His first duties were to hire new administrative staff (including a Deputy Fire Chief of Training and a new office associate), redistribute responsibilities, streamline workflows, and reallocate resources to rebuild the support system for the Fire Department. Hiring of a new Deputy Fire Chief: On July 1, Battalion Chief Bart Gilmore was promoted to the position of Deputy Fire Chief of Training. This critical position is responsible for the training program of the Fire Department, including ensuring fire personnel meet mandated and recommended training requirements, overseeing contractual training, conducting Special Operation Team exercises, and developing weekly prescribed training for personnel. Additional responsibilities include coordinating daily activities, acting as liaison with IDPH Region I Emergency Medical Services administration, and managing all aspects of the Fire Department’s Emergency Medical Service program. The Deputy Fire Chief is also tasked with implementing recently revised Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal fire training and certificate documentation procedures, requiring firefighters to recertify every four-years in all skill areas. The Deputy Fire Chief ensures compliance with these new mandates and is essential in the smooth operation of the Fire Department. Special Teams Training and Equipment Upgrades: The Technical Rescue and Hazardous Materials Teams are long-standing special operation units within the Fire Department. Founding team members have either retired or reached the end of their team commitment in recent years. The equipment originally purchased for use by these teams has become worn or expired. The Fire Department continues to fortify these special operations teams by purchasing new equipment, continuing regular special team exercises for skills retention, and rotating membership as firefighters receive mandated training. Operational Response Review: Response plans were reviewed to determine if changes were necessary to update Fire Department responses to incidents, deployment, and receiving resources at incidents. FY2020 Initiatives Implementation of the New Digital Radio Program: DeKalb County anticipates going live with its new digital radio system this year. Upon its completion, the Fire Department will implement a new P25 digital radio program. This will complement the City’s transition to DeKalb County’s digital platform. This transition will include establishing radio talk groups, reprogramming radios, assessing current communication equipment for compatibility, and personnel training. An audit of the City’s backup radio capabilities will be conducted, and a Fire Department emergency radio backup procedure will be instituted. Evaluation of the Training Program: Fire Administration will perform a comprehensive analysis of its current training program to identify additional firefighting and emergency medical service training needs, evaluate current training props, identify training program goals, and establish a 3-to-5-year training enhancement plan. This analysis will also focus on continuing to meet firefighting training requirements to retain the City’s ISO Class 2 rating. City of DeKalb 98 Proposed Budget Review and Update of the Emergency Operations Plan: The City’s extensive Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is essentially a roadmap for organizing the City’s response to emergencies and disasters while providing for the safety and welfare of its citizens. The City’s EOP must be reviewed and updated annually. With recent personnel changes and organizational changes within the City, the Fire Department will embark upon a comprehensive review and update of the EOP in 2020. A particular focus will be the need to work with local agencies and institutional partners in assuring emergency housing is available in the event of major fires or extreme property maintenance deficiencies forcing condemnation and evacuation. Enhancement and Improvement of Community Partnerships: The Fire Department will continue to collaborate with community organizations and intergovernmental partners to expand community risk reduction programs, such as promoting smoke detector installation and maintenance, cooking safety, and slip/trip/fall evaluations. More generally, the Fire Department will continue to evaluate and prepare for the community’s needs, ensuring the operational readiness of personnel, facilities, apparatus, and equipment; providing life- saving education to residents, visitors, and businesses; and evaluating and modernizing internal procedures to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the services provided.

Budget Public Works Department ______________________________________________________________________________ Department Introduction The Public Works Department is responsible for planning, operating, maintaining and replacing public infrastructure and equipment necessary to maintain a safe, healthy and attractive community. In FY2019, the department was reorganized to operate under the direction of two department directors, the Director of Streets & Facilities and the Director of Utilities & Transportation, under the general supervision of the City Manager. Under this new structure, the department maintains three operating divisions: Airport, Engineering & Transportation, and Operations (Utilities, Street & Support Services). The Public Works Department is somewhat unique in that it is funded through the General Fund, as well as several Enterprise and Special Revenue Funds. The Public Works Department performs a broad range of activities in support of the City’s mission to “Deliver high quality municipal services to those who live, work, learn in or visit our community”. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 36 34 33 PT 19 18 18 Total 55 52 51 FY2019 Accomplishments Expansion of Transit Services: Beginning in October 2019, the City expanded public transit service along two routes. Effective October 7, 2019, Route 12 now provides daily shuttle service to the Elburn Train station. Increased frequency to the train station allows residents and students an opportunity to access the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) Union Pacific West Metra train line with a direct connection to Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Additionally, Route 12 also provides passenger access to Cortland going both to and from the Elburn station. Route 19, which began service on October 28, provides resident and student access to south DeKalb including the Park 88 Corridor and Harvestore Drive. An expansion of transit service to areas of employment enables individuals with limited transportation a safe option and additional job opportunities. 2019 Street Maintenance Program: The 2019 Street Maintenance Program to replace damaged curbs, sidewalks, driveway approaches, and repave streets was completed in early August. This year’s program of repairs was funded by CDBG, Local Gas Tax, and Motor Fuel Tax monies. The table below lists the streets that were repaired.

Ilehamwood Dr. Joanne Ln. Wineberry Dr. North End South End Manning Dr. Route 23 Nestlé Harvey St. Route 23 Seventh St. Tyler St. Route 23 Seventh St. Water Main Replacement: Public Works oversaw 4,100 feet of water main replacement on Joanne Lane, Golfview Place, and Ilehamwood Drive. This watermain posed several challenges due to its age and condition. The new water main replaced an approximately 55-year-old water main prone to breaks. Parkway Tree Maintenance: Public Works implemented a cyclical tree trimming program for city-owned parkway trees. The program allows Public Works to track tree trimming and helps to take a proactive approach to tree trimming. Trees are elevated and thinned to promote healthy growth and achieve an attractive appearance for our streetscapes. Public Works estimates that all parkway trees can be trimmed in the next 5-7 years. Corn Fest Layout: Public Works assisted in redesigning the layout for the annual Corn Fest. After listening to our local merchants, Public Works felt the need to adjust the layout to promote and highlight our Central Business District storefronts. The new layout was well received by local merchants and the public alike and will continue in future years. Downtown Banner Projects: Public Works worked with our local American Legion Post to honor our veterans on Locust Street in the heart of our Central Business District. Hometown Hero banners were hung by Public Works from Memorial Day until Veterans Day in honor of our active and retired local veterans. The program gained traction and appears to be growing larger for FY2020. New American flag banners were also installed along Lincoln Highway and remained in place between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Airport Marketing Plan: Public Works commissioned Volaire Aviation to develop a comprehensive strategic marketing plan to assist in engaging the public, both locally and out of market, on a variety of their services while promoting opportunities that are available. This marketing report complements the Airport's Strategic Plan which was developed in 2017. The plan provides best practices for marketing the assets of the airport to new aviation and non-aviation tenants, and media mix recommendations as well as outreach advise. Additionally, the Council approved a contract with the Daley Police Group to assist the City in securing federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding in 2020 to help re-surface Runway 2/20 and adjacent taxiways among other capital upgrades. FY2020 Initiatives 2020 Street Maintenance Program: As the department does every year, Public Works has identified streets in town in need of resurfacing. The following locations are projections pending Council approval, with approximate project limits for 2020: City of DeKalb 104 Proposed Budget  Street From To Seventh St. Route 23 Prospect St. Thirteenth St. Clark St. Route 23 Fourteenth St. Clark St. Dresser Rd. Taylor St. First St. Lions Park Normal Rd. Hillcrest Dr. Dresser Rd. Macom Dr. Crack Filling & Patching Only City Hall Relocation: Public Works anticipates playing a major role in transitioning City Hall to its new location in the heart of the Central Business District. Public Works will help facilitate the move by overseeing repairs and remodeling in the new location, as well as the logistics of the move itself. Water Main Capital Improvement: Public Works has budgeted $500,000 in FY2020 to fund a portion of new water main planned for installation along Crego Road, Gurler Road and S. Route 23 to provide a looped water main serving two proposed developments in the expanded Chicago West Business Park. 50/50 Tree & Sidewalk Replacement Programs: Public Works plans the implementation of two new programs benefiting the residents of the City of DeKalb. These include a 50/50 program for tree planting as well as sidewalk repair. These programs would engage residents in a cost-sharing relationship for improvements to the City's streetscape.

Community Development Department is responsible for the Planning, Economic Development, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Zoning Review and Entitlement, Construction Permitting, and Code Enforcement functions within the City government. The Department promotes responsible development and the sound maintenance of properties in the City, supporting the success of local business and promoting the community to new businesses and residents. Programming includes long range planning, the attraction and retention of quality businesses, efficient development review processes, and the enforcement of locally adopted building and property maintenance codes. The Department’s mission is to be responsive to local residents and their development concerns and needs, and to maintain a positive business climate that brings confidence to investors, resulting in an expanding, diversified and balanced tax base, thereby lessening the tax burden on individual property owners. The Department’s offices are often the first point of contact for new and existing businesses, developers, and contractors. To assist these interested parties, the Department makes a significant effort to remain informed about local resources. The Department is also responsible for long-range and short-range planning, zoning, applicable municipal code revisions, building permit and inspection services, building code enforcement, economic development, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program administration, and many special neighborhood-related improvement projects. The Department also coordinates with other City departments and governmental entities to review and approve development projects to ensure high quality developments are delivered in a responsible and timely manner. Staffing Level FY2018 FY2019 FY2020 FT 8 8 7 PT 6 6 1** Total* 14 14 8 *Does not include part-time contractual plumbing inspection, as needed. **Funded but unfilled NIU Intern position. FY2019 Accomplishments Building Inspection and Code Enforcement Reorganization: A number of unforeseen events prompted a reorganization of the building inspection functions in 2019. The unexpected resignation of the chief building official in June, 2019, and the increasing attention required by management dereliction and serious property maintenance issues at many of the Hunter properties in DeKalb provided an opportunity to attract new, skilled professionals and to sharpen the everyday focus on code enforcement. A full-time inspector is now assigned to code enforcement duties to provide consistent service eight hours a day, five City of DeKalb 113 Proposed Budget days a week, and as needed during off-hours. This inspector will work closely with the Fire Prevention Lieutenant in life-safety inspections at existing buildings. Local hires with extensive construction experience will lead the new construction plan review and inspection functions in 2020 in a customer- friendly manner. Finally, the part-time building permit associate and part-time administrative assistant positions were merged into one full-time administrative assistant position to better serve both the planning and building functions on a daily basis. Plaza DeKalb: The construction of the Plaza DeKalb mixed-use project started in the Fall of 2017 and initially involved the demolition of part of one building and the renovation of two buildings that now contain a restaurant, several personal service uses and two luxury apartment units. Another transformative feature is the four-story building at the northeast corner of E. Lincoln Highway and N. Second Street which has been the focus of development in 2019. Upon completion it will include commercial uses on the first floor, plus 23 luxury apartment units on the upper floors. The $6 million project included a total of $1.9 million in TIF funding assistance. Egyptian Theatre: In March 2019, the City Council approved final plans and a development incentive agreement for the Egyptian Theatre to allow for a proposed expansion and upgrades to the 90-year old facility. The proposed expansion will be on the south end of the building and will include the addition of air conditioning and expanded restroom and concession facilities. Construction commenced in May 2019 with a total project cost of $5.5 million and $2.5 million in TIF assistance. Mooney Property - Agora Tower: In September 2019 the City Council approved the zoning and plans for a proposed 4-story mixed use development at the northeast corner of E. Locust St. and N. 4th St. The project will feature 94 one and two-bedroom apartment units and approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of commercial space on the ground floor. Demolition of the existing building on the site will start in the late fall of 2019 and construction on the new building will begin in the spring of 2020. The total project cost will be about $13.8 million with $3 million in TIF assistance. Lovell’s Discount Tire: In May 2019, the City Council approved an ordinance allowing Lovell’s Discount Tire of 424 E. Lincoln Highway to expand the existing, legal non-conforming tire service to include additional vehicle repair services. The approval also allowed for the resurfacing of the parking lot, IDOT approved streetscape improvements, new landscaping, screening of the trash dumpster and adding a new ground sign. TIF assistance is being provided to the owner for a portion of the cost of the work in the right- of-way along E. Lincoln Highway and Rt. 23. Hometown Sports Bar and Grill/Stage Left: The Hometown Sports Bar and Grill located at 241 E. Lincoln Highway expanded in 2019 into an adjacent 2,000 sq. ft. tenant space. The new restaurant and bar is called Stage Left and features an outdoor dining deck. The total project cost was about $560,000 and $150,000 in TIF assistance was provided. ALDI: On July 25, ALDI opened their new 27,000 sq. ft. store in the Northland Plaza Shopping Center along Sycamore Road. The store moved from their previous location on the west of Sycamore Road near Target. The July opening was Aldi’s strongest day of sales ever for a single store in the entire 90-store region. Home2 Suites Hotel: In early June work on a 4-story Home2 Suites Hotel commenced along South Annie Glidden Road at Knolls Avenue South. The hotel will feature 90 rooms and provide the community with a mid-to-higher tier extended stay hotel that will include a conference room and indoor pool. City of DeKalb 114 Proposed Budget DeKalb County Nursing Home Expansion: The DeKalb County Rehab and Nursing Center along the N. Annie Glidden Road corridor began a $15 million expansion project during 2019. A 15,400 square foot addition is underway at the east end of the existing administration building. The expansion project will also provide 18 new private rooms, which will supplement 13 existing renovated rooms. A new 6,100 square foot multipurpose activity center located in the center court of the existing facility was also started in 2019 and will provide more flexible activity, dining, and seasonal event space. McDonald’s: The McDonalds along W. Lincoln Highway undertook a site improvement and remodeling project during the summer of 2019. The work consisted of updating the building façade, replacing sidewalks, walkways, and ramps for ADA compliance, adding parking stalls along the west property line and the installation of an additional drive-through lane. A fire hydrant in the middle of the sidewalk along W. Lincoln Highway was re-located and minor work inside the restaurant was also performed. Manufacturing/Warehouse/Distribution Facilities: The Department continues its work on attracting large manufacturing and distribution facilities to the City which will bring in jobs and broaden and diversify the property tax base. In July the City approved the rezoning of 102 acres of property and approved amendments to the Park 88 annexation agreement to facilitate future growth in the southeast portion of the City. In October, the City Council approved amendments to the Chicago West Business Center annexation agreement along the south side of I-88 to allow for an 1,222,400 square foot food distribution center and a 466,560 square foot packing center on approximately 106 acres of property. Medical and Recreational Cannabis Dispensaries: In November, the City Council approved an Ordinance amending the Unified Development Ordinance to allow adult use cannabis. The amendments will allow medical and recreational cannabis dispensaries in the City’s commercial corridors and light industrial areas with a special use permit. Reasonable setbacks to schools, day care centers and residential areas were established and state laws regarding the advertising of cannabis and hours of operation were incorporated into the City ordinance. The City may impose a tax up to 3% on all persons engaged in the selling of cannabis at retail (does not include medical cannabis). Public Facilities Projects: The Community Development Department oversees the planning and projects under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). During 2019, two Public Facilities projects were completed using CDBG funds. Accessible sidewalk improvements were completed on South 6th Street from Culver Street to Charter Street. In addition, street improvements including new pavement, curbs, and gutters were completed on Harvey, Tyler, and Charter Streets from 4th Street to 7th Street. Work continued on two additional projects in the Annie Glidden North neighborhood. The City began working with Syndeo, Inc to come up with a plan to provide free broadband access in a portion of this neighborhood. The Department also continued work with the Police Department and Public Works Department to create a plan for additional street lighting in the same area to increase resident safety and security. Housing Rehabilitation: CDBG also funds improvements to single family housing that is owned and occupied by low-income residents. During 2019, three projects have been completed and six additional projects were in progress. Repairs included the replacement of a ruptured water line, a new furnace, water heater, sewer lateral replacement and soil stack repair, and numerous roof replacements. The goal of the housing rehabilitation program is to support the maintenance of housing which is safe and affordable for low-income property owners. University Village Collaborative: The Community Services Coordinator also serves as the City Liaison for the University Village Collaborative. The Collaborative is a partnership of local social service providers City of DeKalb 115 Proposed Budget who have made a commitment to provide on-site services at University Village, the largest HUD-funded apartment complex in the City. Partners include Community Coordinated Childcare (4-C), Adventure Works, DeKalb County Community Gardens, University of Illinois Extension Service, Kishwaukee College and the Illinois WorkNet, Family Service Agency, the DeKalb County Health Department, DeKalb Township, Northern Illinois University, and the Regional Office of Education. When the property changed owners several years ago, the City negotiated for funding to provide on-site services and support to residents of the property as part of the sale contract. The funding is used to provide an on-site Case Manager for 20 hours per week plus various other programs and services to support University Village residents. Abandoned Residential Property Municipal Relief Program: In 2019, the City received notification of the receipt of a grant from the Illinois Housing Development Authority to address the need to remove abandoned, condemned residential properties that are a safety hazard and blight in some neighborhoods in the City. Adequate funding is not always readily available when the need to demolish a blighted property arises. The Department applied for and received a grant to reimburse the City for past demolition expenses that were incurred to remove three such properties. The City will receive a reimbursement of $55,000 to help cover past expenses. Plans are in place to apply for additional funding as it becomes available when the next grant application is issued. FY2020 Initiatives Economic Development: Continue aggressive Economic Development efforts to promote properties within the community for new development or redevelopment that follow the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and Sub-Area Plans and the City’s goals and policies. Promote the development of large-scale manufacturing, distribution, and high-tech facilities that are transformative. Downtown Redevelopment: Encourage continued development and redevelopment in the downtown area by focusing on projects that are compatible with various Downtown Plans and will provide a sustainable environment for existing and future businesses. Toward this end, the Community Development Department will be relocated to the new city hall at 164 E. Lincoln Highway in 2020. Annie Glidden North Revitalization: Continue to identify resources that support the recommendations of the Annie Glidden North Revitalization Plan to stabilize the northwest side of the community. Opportunity Zone: Collaborate with local partners and outside investors to attract investments in the City’s newly designated Opportunity Zones. Updated Sign Regulations: Review and update sign regulations in the Unified Development Ordinance to make the standards easier to understand, more business friendly, and “content neutral” in compliance with the US Supreme Court case of 2015. Community Services: Conduct public outreach and approve the 2020 -2024 Five Year Consolidated Plan for CDBG in the spring of 2020 and submit to HUD. Census Outreach: Participate in the DeKalb Complete Count Committee for the 2020 Census and conduct outreach to those populations that traditionally do not respond to the U.S. Census. Building & Code Compliance: With the recent reorganization of the Building Division, attention will be given to streamlining the permitting and inspection processes to enhance customer service.

DeKalb 121 Proposed Budget  This page has been intentionally left blank. City of DeKalb 122 Proposed Budget Transportation Fund ______________________________________________________________________________ FUND 200 The Transportation Fund includes the revenues and expenditures associated with the provision of transportation planning and public transit services within the DeKalb Urbanized Area (UZA). The City of DeKalb serves as the grant recipient for federal and state funds for transit services in the DeKalb UZA. The Public Works Transit Office oversees the management and operations of public transit in the DeKalb UZA. The City of DeKalb is the fiscal agent for State and Federal grants that fund transit services. The State of Illinois provides funding for 65% of all transit operational funding up to a contractual limit. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides approximately $1 million a year for transit capital projects and additional operating assistance. The Transportation budget is based on the State Fiscal Year (SFY) that runs from July 1 to June 30. With the City’s fiscal operations on a calendar year basis, the annual transportation budget does not correspond with the City budget. As transportation grant funding allocations are only known through June 30, 2020 at the time of the City’s budget preparation, this budget is developed on the assumption that the Illinois and federal fiscal year 2021 grant funding will be equal to their FY2020 funding. DSATS Division In FY2019, DeKalb County assumed responsibility as the fiscal and management agent for the DeKalb- Sycamore Area Transportation Study (DSATS). Transit Division When the DeKalb-Sycamore area was designated as an urban center in the 2000 U.S. Census, the area became eligible to receive Federal Section 5307 transit grant funds, which are administered through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and Downstate Operating Assistance Program (DOAP) funding from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Using state and federal funding sources, the City contracts with two transit operators – Voluntary Action Center (VAC) and Transdev Services Inc. (Transdev) – to provide public transportation services within the DeKalb Urbanized Area (UZA). Since January 1, 2019, the City has overseen all public transportation service within the DeKalb UZA. This includes fixed route bus service in DeKalb and the surrounding area, as well as paratransit services that provide door-to-door transportation for residents within the DeKalb UZA to and from medical facilities, shopping centers, and jobs throughout the northern Illinois region. The Transit Budget identifies several existing grants for which funding is available and our Transit staff will be submitting grant proposals to the FTA to fund several more projects in SFY2020. As previously noted, the DeKalb region is provided an apportionment of grant funds for transit capital projects and operating assistance annually. These funds are approved in the Federal Transportation Funding Program, which is currently known as the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. Within the program, specific funds are set aside to provide transit funds to urbanized areas with a population over 50,000 people. City of DeKalb 123 Proposed Budget The DOAP grant reimburses the City for 65% of the cost for public transit operations. The remaining 35% of the funding must come from other grant sources and local match contributions. The City’s SFY2020 DOAP grant allocation is $5,711,600, with a required local match of $3,075,477. The City’s SFY2021 DOAP grant allocation will be $6,282,700 with a required local match of $3,382,992. This budget reflects half of the SFY2020 DOAP grant (1/1/20 – 6/30/20) and half of the SFY2021 DOAP grant (7/1/20 – 12/31/20). Currently, local match funding comes from FTA funds as operating assistance, Northern Illinois University (NIU) student tuition fees, and VAC. Table 1, below, identifies the funding sources for the public transit budget. Table 1. Public Transit Funding Sources Funding Source SFY20 Allocation % of Budget State of IL DOAP Grant (1/1/20 – 12/31/20) $5,997,222.00 61% Local Match Fund: NIU Contribution $2,162,343.84 22% FTA 5307 Operating Assistance Funds $1,600,000.00 16% Fares from Huskie Line Routes $60,000.00 <1% Local Match Funds Provided by VAC $50,000.00 <1% Totals $9,869,565.84 100% The City receives annual FTA 5307 grant funding to finance public transit capital purchases and operating assistance. The City is annually allocated approximately $1,000,000, which varies from year to year based on a formula for public transit funding provided in the annual US Federal Budget. These funds can be accumulated over a three-year period. In SFY2020 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020) our Transit staff will use up to $2,514,024 in FTA 5307 grant funds. Table 2, below, identifies proposed projects using FTA funds. Table 2.

capita allocation of Illinois Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) revenues on a monthly basis from a State tax on gasoline purchases. These funds can only be used for certain costs related to street maintenance and improvement projects, as set forth by the State of Illinois. The annual MFT allotment to the City in FY2020 is projected to be approximately $1.68 million, which is an increase of approximately $540,000 from FY2019. This increase is the result of the State increase in the MFT rate in July of 2019. The annual MFT allotment will be used for the design and construction of various capital projects, as detailed in the table below. Tentative FY20 Projects Estimated Costs Twombly Road Reconstruction – Phase I $375,000 Peace Road Corridor Study $220,000 Peace Road/I-88 Bridge Phase I Engineering $250,000 First Street Bridge Phase I & II Engineering $200,000 Pavement Condition Index Survey $35,000 Lucinda Bridge Design Engineering $75,000 Total $1,155,000 The balance of the FY2020 MFT allocation--$525,000—will be used to defray the City’s electrical charges ($400,000) and salt purchases ($125,000). State law permits the City to dedicate a portion of its annual MFT allocation for certain electricity costs and road salt purchases. The City defrays the electrical costs associated with our streetlights and lighting equipment provided by ComEd. Like many other Illinois communities, we also purchase road salt for snow and ice removal with Motor Fuel Tax funds. Twombly Road, which connects several housing developments and rural areas to Annie Glidden Road, is in significant disrepair. A multi-jurisdictional project, led by the County and DeKalb Township with financial contributions from the City, will reconstruct the segment immediately west of Annie Glidden Road, with the addition of sidewalk on the north side of Twombly Road from Annie Glidden Road to Rosenow Way. The project will be split between the FY2020 and FY2021 budgets. The Peace Road Corridor Study will give the City and the DeKalb-Sycamore Area Transportation Study (DSATS) a cost projection and plan for when and how to enhance this infrastructure asset. The limits of the study will be Gurler Road to the south and the Union Pacific Railroad overpass to the north. The Peace Road Corridor Study will generate recommendations for intersection improvements at Fairview Drive and the widening of Peace Road between I-88 and Fairview Drive. Phase I engineering for these improvements is expected to occur in FY2020. Phase I and Phase II engineering related to the reconstruction of the First Street Bridge over the Kishwaukee River is scheduled for FY2020. Reconstruction of this bridge using MFT funds is scheduled for FY2021 with the engineering and design phases taking up to 18 months. Early work on the design engineering for replacement of the Lucinda Bridge is also planned for FY2020.

They are: Heritage Ridge Subdivision Special Service Area #3 (Fund 223) was created in 1990 for the residential subdivision located at the southeast corner of Fairview Drive and First Street. It pays the costs of retention pond mowing and the maintenance of cul-de-sac islands including, but not limited to, decorative washed stone and island plant materials. It also provides for a stylized street lighting system and entrance sign. Knolls at Prairie Creek Subdivision SSA #4 (Fund 224) was created in 1994 for the residential subdivision on the west side of Annie Glidden Road between Lincoln Highway and Taylor Street. It pays costs of maintaining cul-de-sac islands including, but not limited to, mulch, river stone and weed control. It also pays the additional costs of maintaining various public areas and provides for a stylized street lighting system and entrance sign. Greek Row Special Service Area #6 (Fund 226) was created in 2004 to finance the electrical costs of streetlighting placed upon private properties that benefit the neighborhood. Heartland Fields Special Service Area #14 (Fund 234) was created to authorize the maintenance, repair, regular care, renewal and replacement of the Common Facilities including, without limitation, the mowing and fertilizing of grass, pruning and trimming of trees and bushes, removal and replacement of diseased or dead landscape materials, the repair and replacement of monument signs, storm water detention basins, storm sewers and related areas and appurtenances, culverts, drains, ditches and tiles, landscape buffers and related areas and appurtenances in the Special Service Area. It also authorizes the implementation and continuation of a mosquito abatement program in the Special Service Area, as well as the provision of snow removal services on public sidewalks along Lot 101 of the Heartland Fields Subdivision (or in such other areas as the City shall determine, within the Area) all in accordance with the final engineering plan and final plat of subdivision for the Area. The proposed municipal services are unique and are in addition to the improvements provided or maintained by the City generally. 924 Greenbrier Special Service Area #28 (Fund 248) was created in 2019 for the purpose of repaying a loan from the City’s Water Fund to the owner of 924 Greenbrier Road in the amount of $37,425 for installation of a fire sprinkler system. The City offered loans to property owners operating Greek housing to ensure compliance with State law. The Greek Housing Fire Safety Act, 110 ILCS 130/1, requires “Greek housing structures” constructed after January 1, 2011 to have an automatic sprinkler system installed at the time of construction. In addition, the Act requires Greek housing structures built before January 1, 2011 to be retrofitted with a sprinkler system before January 1, 2019. This loan is scheduled to be repaid to the Water Fund over a five-year period though property taxes levied on the Special Service Area.

At the time TIF #1 was established, the State of Illinois allowed municipalities to capture sales tax increment in addition to property tax increment. Collection of sales tax increment ended in 2013 and the Central Area TIF District now only collects incremental property tax revenue. In 2008, the City worked with the various local taxing districts with overlapping jurisdictions to approve an intergovernmental agreement that declared one-half of the annual TIF revenues as surplus in exchange for supporting a 12-year extension of the Central Area TIF District. Due to the Central Area TIF District being established as a sales tax and property tax TIF district, the TIF Act requires that a proportional share of any surplus declaration be paid back to the Illinois Department of Revenue and the City of DeKalb as repayment for prior sales tax receipts. The proportional share of the surplus is based on a ratio of the total sales tax receipts collected over the life of the district, compared to property tax receipts collected over the life of the district. During FY17, the City began discussing a TIF Phase-Out Plan and developing strategies for investing the remaining funds prior to the expiration of TIF #1 and TIF #2. It became apparent during those conversations that the available funding would not be sufficient in achieving the City’s goals for downtown revitalization, as identified in the City’s 2025 Strategic Plan. As a result, the City began investigating the feasibility of removing a portion of the Central Area TIF District and placing it into a new Central Business District TIF. In FY2019, the City approved the creation of the Central Business District TIF (TIF #3). Several redevelopment projects that were initiated in the Central Area TIF are now a part of TIF #3. Where applicable and in accordance with the TIF Act, funds for those projects will be transferred from Fund 260 to the newly created Fund 262 (TIF #3) in FY2020. In Joint Review Board meetings in January and February of 2019, the participating taxing bodies discussed whether the City would surplus some portion of the annual incremental revenues from TIF #3 as it had in TIF #2. Because TIF #3 comprised about one-seventh of the parcels in TIF #1 (300 vs, 2,000 parcels), there was agreement that such a surplus arrangement would seriously limit the City’s ability to support private redevelopment projects or issue debt. An alternative proposal was introduced in the special February 1 JRB meeting involving the early termination of TIF #1, which would deliver a “surplus” to the other taxing bodies that was roughly comparable to 16 years of a 50/50 revenue-sharing agreement for TIF #3. On June 10, the City Council unanimously approved a resolution (Resolution 2019-094) which closes TIF #1 at the end of FY2021 instead of FY2022.

In recent years, TIF #2 has successfully supported the continued operation of Barb City Manor. This City-owned building is leased to Barb City Manor, Inc. for the operation of a low- to moderate-income senior living facility. Funds from TIF #2 have supported capital improvements to the building infrastructure, including replacement of aging roofs and emergency fire escapes. Over its 23-year life, TIF #2 failed to produce any significant redevelopment projects and thus carried a significant fund balance. The TIF Act does allow for municipalities to “port” funding between TIF districts, so long as they are contiguous to each other and the use of transferred funds has a benefit to the TIF district from which funds are ported. In FY2018, the City transferred $3,542,756 to the Central Area TIF (TIF #1) to fund several redevelopment projects in the Central Business District. The remaining excess fund balance in the amount of $5,658,295 was distributed to the taxing districts within TIF #2 at the end of FY2018. On October 14, 2019, the City Council approved Ordinance 2019-068 which officially terminated TIF #2 as of December 31, 2019. Once all FY2019 obligations are paid, the remaining fund balance will be paid out as surplus to the taxing districts within TIF #2 at the conclusion of FY2019.

The primary purpose was to promote continuing commercial and residential rehabilitation and redevelopment in the central business district. In recent years, TIF #1 has supported several significant redevelopment projects in the central business district. With TIF #1 scheduled to end in 2021, the City established TIF #3 to continue the momentum of redevelopment. A number of properties that previously existed within TIF #1, including several currently undergoing redevelopment, now lie within the boundaries of TIF #3. The TIF Act does allow for municipalities to “port” funding between TIF districts, so long as they are contiguous to each other and the use of transferred funds has a benefit to the TIF district from which funds are ported. The FY2020 Budget includes the transfer of funds from TIF #1 to TIF #3 in the amount of $4.28 million. These funds will support ongoing redevelopment projects that were within TIF #1 when approved but are now within the boundaries of TIF #3, as well as other anticipated projects which are allowable under the TIF Act.

S. Census Bureau notified the City that DeKalb County was considered to be part of the Chicago primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA). The PMSA designation enabled DeKalb, as the largest municipality within the County, to be considered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as an entitlement community and eligible to receive direct funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program on an annual basis. Funding is subject to annual federal appropriation and can only be used for CDBG eligible activities. The CDBG program year runs from April 1 through and March 31. For the Program Year between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the City of DeKalb received $439,129 in CDBG funds. This is a reduction in the amount of funding received in 2018. The annual amount varies depending on Federal Funding and HUD’s formula for calculating grantee entitlements. The current HUD required Five-Year Consolidated Plan covers years 2015 through 2019 and identifies the general projects the City proposes to carry out using CDBG funds. Each year, specific activities are identified under each project in the Annual Action Plan. For 2019, the City will proposes the following activities: Private Property Rehabilitation – grants up to $5,000 and repayable loans for up to $10,000 to 12 income-eligible owner-occupied single family residences within the City for emergency repairs ($60,000 in 2019 funds plus $169,822 in carry-over funds); Public Facilities/Improvements – street lighting improvements in the Annie Glidden North (AGN) neighborhood to improve security and resident safety ($225,444); Public Services – grants to local not-for-profit social service agencies to provide services to low income residents of the City ($65,860); and Administration ($87,825). The City expects to utilize carry over funds from prior years to accomplish the following activities: Demolition of two condemned single-family residences that are unsuitable for rehabilitation ($35,000) and the 2018 Public Facilities project targeted toward providing access to broadband service in the AGN neighborhood ($210,000). Any additional carry-over funds will be allocated to Private Property Rehabilitation and Demolition based on need. The City estimates that CDBG grant fund revenue and carry-over funds total $1,314,516 for budget purposes for 2020. Actual grant amounts are announced upon congressional approval of the Federal budget and allocation of funds by HUD. In recent years, delays in this process resulted in late grant notifications. In 2019, the notification of the annual allocation was not received until mid-April, after the start of the new program year. Approval for the 2019 Annual Action Plan, which allows the City to begin expending funds, was not received until the end of August. This has been the case for the past several years when budget negotiations at the Federal level are contentious and programs like CDBG are marked for reductions in funding or complete elimination from the federal budget. Pursuant to HUD guidelines, 20% of grant receipts can be used to pay for administrative purposes. This amount is transferred to the general fund to pay the salary and benefits of one full-time staff member assigned to administer this program.

A fund was established as the pass-through account for the grant and as the repository of loan repayments and recaptured funds that were restricted for reuse for similar programs. In 1993, the City became an entitlement community through the Federal Community Development Block Grant program. At that time, a new fund (CDBG Fund) was set up to manage the annual grant allocation and the prior fund was maintained as the revolving loan fund for CDBG. In addition to CDBG, the City periodically receives other grants and this fund is used as the pass-through for those as well. The use or reuse of dollars in this fund carries substantial restrictions and cannot be co-mingled with other City, State or Federal revenues. Funds are budgeted to assist very low (50% AMI) and extremely low (30% AMI) income residents with home repair costs that exceed the $5,000 CDBG Program limit when the homeowner has no personal resources to cover the overage and the overage amount is not excessive. Use of this fund is subject to review and approval of the City Manager prior to the commitment of funds. Funds are also available for the emergency demolition of residential structures and minor expenses related to this activity. Because these funds were originally CDBG funds, the City must exercise caution to ensure that any use of these monies meets all HUD guidelines and requirements for use of their funds.

A two-percent tax is imposed on the gross receipts of the fire insurance premiums provided by insurance companies not located within Illinois, and for property located in the City. These taxes, along with similar taxes imposed by most Illinois municipalities, are collected by the state and distributed to municipalities on a per capita basis. By ordinance, the Foreign Fire Insurance Tax Board members are elected by the Fire Department from among its members. This Board is empowered to expend Foreign Fire Insurance Tax proceeds for the “maintenance, benefit, and use of the Fire Department.” This Board cannot expend tax proceeds for projects not given budget approval by the City Council. The City Council cannot authorize the expenditures of these tax proceeds for projects not approved by the Board. Consequently, the system requires the City Council and the Board to mutually agree on the expenditures. Expenditures from this fund are used for the betterment of the Fire department. Typically, they have included station improvements, station repairs, furniture for stations, personal protection equipment and physical fitness equipment. Purchases planned for FY2020 include:  Purchase firefighter planners for all  Replace worn chairs department personnel  Replace mattresses  Provide funding for the historical  Replace kitchen cooking utensils as preservation of department needed memorabilia  Provide cable service to all Fire Stations  Pay for Foreign Fire Board annual audit  Provide newspaper service to Station 1  Assist department with purchases when  Purchase building supplies for Stations possible  Clean cloth ambulance seats City of DeKalb 146 Proposed Budget  2017 2018 2019 2019 2020 AMENDED PROJECTED PROPOSED GL NUMBER DESCRIPTION ACTIVITY ACTIVITY BUDGET ACTIVITY BUDGET Fund 290 ‐ FOREIGN FIRE INSURANCE TAX Dept 00‐00 ‐ GENERAL ESTIMATED REVENUES 290‐00‐00‐31950 MISCELLANEOUS TAXES 50,459 54,758 48,000 55,000 55,000 290‐00‐00‐38100 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 0 0 0 0 0 TOTAL ESTIMATED REVENUES 50,459 54,758 48,000 55,000 55,000 EXPENDITURES 290‐00‐00‐51300 SUPPLIES/PARTS‐BUILDINGS 7,877 10,337 6,000 6,000 9,000 290‐00‐00‐51500 SUPPLIES/PARTS‐EQUIPMENT 0 0 0 0 3,000 290‐00‐00‐52800 FIREFIGHTING SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT 6,706 11,635 10,000 10,000 0 290‐00‐00‐53300 SMALL TOOLS & EQUIPMENT 664 6,814 5,000 5,000 3,000 290‐00‐00‐54000 UNIFORMS/PROTECTIVE CLOTHING 0 0 0 7,000 450 290‐00‐00‐61300 MAINTENANCE‐BUILDINGS 0 435 0 2,000 0 290‐00‐00‐62100 FINANCIAL SERVICES 0 0 0 0 0 290‐00‐00‐65200 MARKETING ADS & PUBLIC INFO 597 200 500 500 0 290‐00‐00‐66100 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 1,816 1,842 1,472 1,472 2,732 290‐00‐00‐83900 OTHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS 11,977 1,019 10,000 10,000 0 290‐00‐00‐86000 EQUIPMENT 0 0 7,500 7,500 36,500 290‐00‐00‐86100 TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT 0 924 0 0 0 290‐00‐00‐86200 OFFICE FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT 14,747 14,537 6,000 6,000 0 TOTAL EXPENDITURES 44,384 47,743 46,472 55,472 54,682 NET OF REVENUES/EXPENDITURES ‐ 00‐00 ‐ GENERAL 6,075 7,015 1,528 (472) 318 ESTIMATED REVENUES ‐ FUND 290 50,459 54,758 48,000 55,000 55,000 EXPENDITURES ‐ FUND 290 44,384 47,743 46,472 55,472 54,682 NET OF REVENUES/EXPENDITURES ‐ FUND 290 6,075 7,015 1,528 (472) 318 BEGINNING FUND BALANCE 62,282 61,810 ENDING FUND BALANCE 61,810 62,128 City of DeKalb 147 Proposed Budget  This page has been intentionally left blank.

City of DeKalb 160 Proposed Budget Capital Projects Fund ______________________________________________________________________________ FUND 400 In FY2019, the local fuel tax rate of 5.5 cents per gallon was split between road (4 cents) and airport expenditures (1.5 cents). This fund accounts for most of the costs associated annual street maintenance, plus public building improvements, alley repairs, and other capital costs. Proceeds from the local tax on motor fuel can be used for any public capital improvements. The City owns and maintains about 130 centerline miles of roads, of which 74.8% (97.3 miles) are residential streets. As of January 2019, approximately 25 miles of DeKalb roads (mostly residential) needed immediate maintenance to prevent rapid degradation. In 2019, a total of only 2.75 centerline miles received such maintenance. At this pace, the road mileage needing urgent maintenance is growing much faster than the funds available to maintain good or very good pavement ratings (i.e. a PCI rating above 70). The average street maintenance expenditures required to keep pace total about $3.7 million per year. The State Motor Fuel Tax fund (Fund 210) will receive an estimated $540,000 in additional revenue in FY2020 as a result of the State legislature’s increase in the State tax by $0.19 per gallon. The total State MFT revenue in FY2020 will be about $1.68 million, which is still about $2 million short of the desired annual pace of road repairs and resurfacing. Of that $1.68 million, a total of $1,155,000 is budgeted for street and bridge improvements in FY2020. The Proposed FY2020 Budget assumes an increase of 4 cents in the local tax on motor fuel purchases. This increase will be split between Fund 400 (3 cents) and Fund 420, the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (1 cent). The new local fuel tax revenue assigned to Fund 400 will provide an additional $525,000 to address the City’s deteriorating roads. The total allocation from Fund 400 for road improvements in FY2020 will be $1,325,000. The combined allocation of local motor fuel tax (Fund 400) and State motor fuel tax (Fund 210) funds toward street improvements in DeKalb in FY2020 will be $2,480,000, an increase of about $773,000 over FY2019. Tentative project expenditures for FY2020 include the following: Tentative FY2020 Projects Estimated Costs Annual Street Maintenance Program $1,325,000 Building Improvements – 164 E.

provides for the efficient collection, processing, and disposal of refuse, landscape waste, and recyclables for DeKalb residents. In September 2018, the City entered a new 5-year agreement with Lakeshore Recycling Systems, Inc. (LRS) to provide these services. Refuse charges are collected through the City’s Utility Bill on behalf of LRS. DeKalb residents receive curbside collection services for an unlimited volume of refuse, recyclables, and landscape waste. As part of the agreement, LRS provides one 95-gallon refuse cart and one 65-gallon recycling cart at no additional charge. Residents may request a second 95-gallon refuse cart at no charge. Landscape waste collection is offered between April 1 and November 30 each year. In 2019, the City staff worked with downtown business owners and LRS to set up a simplified process of billing refuse charges through the City’s Utility Billing system for Central Business District (CBD) properties. The new billing system has been well received by both CBD business owners and LRS. The contract with LRS includes curbside electronic waste pick-up on the first pick-up day of the month. This is a new service for DeKalb residents. Another new service offered to residents is household hazardous water collection. This service is offered three times per year as scheduled with the City.

City of DeKalb 184 Proposed Budget Internal Service Funds ______________________________________________________________________________ Workers’ Compensation & Liability – Fund 700 This fund pays for all medical treatment, disability payments, and settlement costs associated with claims filed by employees who are injured on the job. In FY1994 the City became self-insured for workers compensation claims. For FY1994, through FY2012, the City had no excess or “umbrella” insurance coverage provided by private carriers. Since May 1, 2012, the City has had a self-insured retention policy through Safety National Casualty Corporation for excess coverage. These claims are administered and monitored by the City Manager’s Office and Human Resources Department. This fund also pays for costs incurred as a result of accidents involving City property or employees, or in settlement of lawsuits brought against the City. Again, since May 2012, the City now has had a self-insured retention policy for excess coverage. This coverage includes: property, inland marine, general liability, automobile liability and auto physical damage, law enforcement liability, public official’s liability, and employment practices liability. Health Insurance – Fund 710 The City of DeKalb maintained its own self-funded insurance system from FY1993 through FY2008 for employee health insurance. On January 1, 2008, the City joined the Intergovernmental Personnel Benefits Cooperative (IPBC), which is a pooled arrangement with other Illinois communities for providing health insurance. This allowed the City to budget for known monthly payments to the IPBC, rather than funding for payment of all health claims as a fully self-insured entity. The chart provided below shows health insurance costs for current and retired City employees from fiscal years 2012 to 2019 (fiscal years prior to 2012 were reported as total fund expenditures and not separated by line item). Health Insurance Costs 4,500,000 Employee Costs 4,000,000 Retiree Costs 3,500,000 * The City 3,000,000 changed their fiscal year end 2,500,000 from June 30 to 2,000,000 December 31. 1,500,000 1,000,000 500,000 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2016.5 *2017 2018 2019 Est City of DeKalb 185 Proposed Budget The City offers comprehensive medical and dental coverage to its employees, their dependents and retirees. All active employees pay 20% of the health insurance premium for single, single +1 or family coverage. Property Liability – Fund 720 This fund was closed out in FY2017 and combined with the Workers’ Compensation Fund (Fund 700) starting with the FY2018 budget.

City of DeKalb 192 Proposed Budget Police and Fire Pension Funds ______________________________________________________________________________ Police Pension Fund (Fund 830) and Fire Pension Fund (Fund 850) The Police and Fire Pension Funds account for the financial administration of these two programs, which are governed by Illinois state statute. Revenue sources are primarily property taxes, investment earnings, and withholdings from the payroll checks of active Police and Fire Department personnel. Expenditures pay for retiree pensions, financial management fees, audit costs, and other miscellaneous items. An established Board for each fund directs its own affairs and meets quarterly with special meetings as needed. The Boards are each comprised of five members. Two members are appointed by the Mayor, two are elected from the active participants of the pension fund, and one is elected by and from the fund’s beneficiaries. The funds are regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Insurance. By state law, these pension funds must be 90% funded by the year 2040. Current funding levels as of December 31, 2018 for the Police Pension Fund and the Fire Pension Fund were 47.3% and 40.4% respectively. Historically, employer contributions are funded through the City’s property tax. However, in recent years, increases in the required contributions have significantly outpaced the City’s ability to levy dollars through the property tax process.

City of DeKalb 214 Proposed Budget Budget Policy ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-01 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: The City Manager shall submit an annual budget to the City Council which is within the City’s ability to pay. The annual budget should provide for the following: 1. A meeting will be held with the Finance Advisory Committee after June 30 and before joint City Council budget discussions begin to discuss the previous year-end Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, review revenues trends and discuss any new policy recommendations. 2. Management shall prepare a draft of the annual budget for review by the City Council and the Finance Advisory Committee in October/November of each year. The recommended budget should be submitted to the City Council for review and a public hearing in November of each year. The final budget document shall be submitted to the full membership for approval prior to December 31 of each year. 3. The annual budget should effectively communicate meaningful and understandable information to the City residents, City Council, City Staff, and other readers. 4. The annual budget shall be monitored on a monthly basis. Revenue and expenditure budget reports shall be prepared and made available to City management staff for departmental review on a monthly basis. A quarterly budget summary report (Treasurer’s Report) shall be presented to the City Council. 5. The annual budget should allow for the implementation of as many of the City Council’s goals and objectives from the 2025 strategic plan as financially possible. 6. The annual budget should provide for the adequate funding of all pension plans (IMRF, Police Pension Fund, and Firefighters Pension Fund). An independent actuary should be used to determine the annual City contributions to the Police Pension Fund and the Firefighters Pension Fund and determine if these pension funds are adequately funded. 7. The annual budget should provide funding for the adequate maintenance of municipal equipment, municipal facilities, and infrastructure. City of DeKalb 215 Proposed Budget  8. The annual budget should set aside-adequate funding (pay-as-you-go funding) for the replacement of major equipment. Annual funding (depreciation funding) for these replacements will eliminate major expenditure jumps in the annual budget when these acquisitions are made. 9. During the budget process, the City will assess the need for contingency funds to be included in the budget to fund unanticipated expenditures that might arise. 10. The annual budget should finance current operating expenditures, excluding major capital expenditures, with current revenues. The use of reserve funds to finance current operating expenditures should be carefully considered and avoided if possible. 11. The City should limit the use of the reserve fund to nonrecurring operating expenditures or capital expenditures, specifically if our anticipated fund balance is below our Fund Balance Reserve Policy of 25%. 12. When the City is required to undertake a budget amendment and/or execute expenditure transfers to ensure that actual expenditures are within approved budgetary limits as authorized by City Council the following procedures will be followed. Administration of these procedures will be the responsibility of the City’s Finance Director and the Finance Director will sign off that these procedures have been adhered to for any budget amendments and/or expenditure transfers undertaken by the City. Those procedures are as follows: a. Upon knowledge that a budget amendment and/or expenditure transfer will be required, the City’s Finance Director will inform both the Finance Committee and the City Council. b. Documents will be drafted by the Finance Director with the reason for the required budget amendment and/or expenditure transfer, including the specific accounts affected and the dollar amounts of said amendments and/or expenditure transfers. c. Formal City Council review and approval of proposed budget amendments and/or expenditure transfers will be required before any amendments and/or transfers are executed by the Finance Director. City of DeKalb 216 Proposed Budget Fund Balance Policy ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-02 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: Fund balance measures the net financial resources available to finance expenditures of future periods. Fund balance reserve policies are established to avoid cash flow interruptions, generate investment income, and reduce the need for borrowing. The fund balance reserves identified within this policy are the minimum balances necessary to accomplish these objectives. While keeping in mind the uneven nature of the City’s cash flows, should the projected ending fiscal year fund balance fall below the desired percentage or amount, the City should create a plan to restore the appropriate levels. Part II – Governmental Funds This section only applies to fund balances reported in the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and Permanent Funds. 1. Definitions The five fund balance classifications outlined in GASB Statement 54 follows: Nonspendable Fund Balance: This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. This would include items not expected to be converted to cash including inventories and prepaid amounts. It may also include the long-term amount of loans and receivables, as well as property acquired for resale and the corpus (principal) of a permanent fund. Restricted Fund Balance: This classification should be reported when constraints placed on the use of resources are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Committed Fund Balance: This classification reflects specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the district’s highest level of decision-making authority (generally the governing board). Also, such constraints can only be removed or changed by the same form of formal action. Assigned Fund Balance: This classification reflects amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but meet neither the restricted nor committed forms of constraint. City of DeKalb 217 Proposed Budget  Unassigned Fund Balance: This classification is the residual classification for the general fund only. It is also where negative residual amounts for all other governmental funds would be reported. 2. Fund Balance Commitments & Assignments Committed fund balance for a specific use must be taken by formal action of the City Council. Amendments or modifications of the committed fund balance must also be approved by formal action of the City Council. In order to be recognized in the annual Audit Report, commitments of fund balance must be enacted prior to the end of that Report’s particular fiscal year. Assigned Fund Balance is intended for specific purposes not imposed by external parties or City Council’s formal action. The City Council authorizes the City Manager and/or his/her designee(s) to assign fund balance. Such assignments cannot exceed the available (spendable, unrestricted, uncommitted) fund balance in any particular Fund. 3. Reserves General Fund: Unassigned fund balance will be maintained at a minimum level equal to 25% of annual expenditures. The City’s unassigned General Fund balance will be maintained to provide the municipality with sufficient working capital and a margin of safety to address emergencies without borrowing. TIF Funds: The City currently has two budgeted TIF Funds (the Central Area TIF and TIF II). These Funds should be self-supporting and should maintain a fund balance equivalent to meet the planned improvements identified in a multi-year capital schedule(s). Capital Projects Fund: This Fund is used for resources accumulated and used in right of way improvements such as street repair, street reconstruction, and curb and gutter replacement. Costs associated with this Fund must not be State MFT eligible and must cost over $5,000 and have a useful life of at least three years. The funding source for this Fund will be the local home rule motor fuel tax. The Capital Projects Fund should work toward establishing a fund balance at a minimum dollar amount to meet the planned improvements identified in a multi-year capital replacement schedule(s). Special Revenue Funds: These Funds are used to account and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources which are restricted or committed toward expenditures for specific purposes other than debt service or capital projects. In general, all these Funds should maintain the least fund balance necessary to cover current fiscal year expenditures, plus an amount to pay for those expenditures of the subsequent fiscal year needed to avoid a cash deficit position. City of DeKalb 218 Proposed Budget  4. Fund Balance Classification Fund balance classifications depict the nature of the net resources that are reported in a governmental fund type. An individual governmental fund may include nonspendable resources and amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned, or any combination of those classifications. The General Fund may also include an unassigned amount. 5. Prioritization of Fund Balance Use When an expenditure is incurred for a purpose which can be paid from multiple fund balance classifications, the City will spend the most restricted dollars before less restricted, in the following order:  Nonspendable (if funds become spendable)  Restricted  Committed  Assigned  Unassigned Part III – Enterprise, Internal Service, & Fiduciary Funds This section applies to Funds outside the scope of GASB 54. 1. Definitions Restricted Net Assets: The component of net assets restricted by external parties, constitutional restrictions, and enabling legislation. Net Assets Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt: A component of net assets calculated by reducing capital assets by accumulated depreciation and the principal portion of related debt. Unrestricted Net Assets: The portion of net assets that is neither restricted nor invested in capital assets net of related debt. 2. Reserves Water Operating Fund: The unrestricted net assets of the Water Fund will be maintained at a minimum level equal to 25% of the annual budgeted operational expenses. Net position above 25% will be transferred annually to the Water Capital Fund for use in funding the Water Capital plan. Water New Construction Fund: This revenue is from impact fees and is restricted for any new water main infrastructure in the City of DeKalb. Water Capital Projects Fund: This fund will be used to account for all capital revenues and expenditures to Water Capital as approved by City Council in the annual budget. Capital projects include existing water infrastructure for water mains, wells, treatment plants, pumping systems and water towers. Additionally, Water Division equipment and City of DeKalb 219 Proposed Budget  fleet that exceed $10,000 with a useful life exceeding one year would be accounted for through this fund and be subject to the same annual budget approval by Council. Airport Fund: The unrestricted net assets of the Airport Fund will be maintained at a minimum level equal to 25% of annual budgeted operational expenses, plus the budgeted capital improvements for the current fiscal year. Other Specified Funds: The Health Insurance Fund should maintain unrestricted net assets of one month of IPBC premium. Any amount above this threshold may be transferred to the Workers’ Compensation Fund or Liability/Property Insurance Fund to be used toward claims, eliminate potential deficits, or maintain net asset policy in these other Funds. The Workers’ Compensation Fund should maintain unrestricted net assets of $1,000,000 collectively (or 1 year premium for reinsurance plus the average annual retention costs associated with that premium). The Liability/Property Insurance Fund should maintain unrestricted net assets approximately equivalent to 25% of annual budgeted expenses. Part IV – Other 1. Cash Deficits Should any Fund incur a cash deficit by the end of the fiscal year, an interfund loan will be created with a Fund or Fund(s) which have a cash surplus (unless restricted by statute or Fund Balance policy). 2. Reporting Year to date revenues and expenditures for the General Fund will be issued to the City Council by their second regular meeting of each month. On a quarterly basis, the City Council shall receive an update on the General Fund with a year-end forecast for the fiscal year and also receive a summary of major fund balances. TIF Funds will be reported in greater detail to Council by the end of March and by the end of September of each year. The City Council shall receive an update on Workers’ Compensation claims through December 31 by the end of March and claims through June 30 by the end of September of each year. City of DeKalb 220 Proposed Budget  A semi-annual report on economic development incentives will be reported to Council by the end of March and by the end of September of each year. An update on retiree insurance costs will be reported annually by the end of March of each year. City of DeKalb 221 Proposed Budget Capital Equipment Replacement Fund ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-03 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: The City of DeKalb has established the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF) to encourage departments to set aside funds each year for the eventual replacement of existing equipment and to avoid significant fluctuations in the operating budget from one year to the next. In order to build and maintain sufficient funds on hand to replace items at the end of their useful life, water tower rental income, revenue received from the E911 Board for OSSI payments will be dedicated annually as well as, transfers by each department from the General Fund determined annually through the budget process. The remainder of this policy is intended to provide guidance as to how the CERF will operate. The Capital Equipment Replacement Fund shall be used only to replace existing equipment owned by the City. The fund shall not be used to purchase equipment not currently owned by the City or as a means to circumvent the process for having new equipment approved by the City Council. Requests for new equipment shall be made as part of the annual operating budget and must be approved by the City Council before acquisition; Only those items which individually have a replacement cost of more than $10,000 or groups of similar equipment (e.g. personal computers, bullet proof vests, etc.) which, in the aggregate, exceed $10,000 with a useful life of more than one year shall be included in the CERF. Departments shall include individual items or groups of items with a value of less than $10,000 in their annual operating budget. The cost of items associated with new vehicles such as vehicle markings, light bars, radios and similar equipment shall be included in the replacement cost of the vehicle. The replacement cost and useful life for each vehicle or technology related equipment will be re- evaluated by the individual departments on an annual basis. This re-evaluation may change the annual amounts that programs contribute for the replacement of each item. The Department Head, in consultation with the City Manager and the Finance Director shall determine when a vehicle or equipment is due for replacement. Final capital asset replacement decisions using CERF monies will be discussed and approved by the City Council as part of the annual budget process. City of DeKalb 222 Proposed Budget When CERF equipment is sold, the proceeds of the sale shall be credited to the CERF Fund. From time to time, departments may be assigned previously used technology related equipment from within their department or another department in the City. The Director of Information Technology, in consultation with the Department Head, shall recommend that such equipment be assigned to a department when it meets the department’s needs and when doing so will help avoid the expense of purchasing new equipment. Consideration shall be given to the annual operating cost of maintaining the used equipment when deciding whether or not to continue using it. The City Manager shall have the final say in determining whether or not previously used technology is assigned to a department. City of DeKalb 223 Proposed Budget Revenue and Expenditure Policy ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-04 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: Revenues The City desires to maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to reduce the impacts of fluctuations in any one revenue source. The revenue mix combines elastic and inelastic revenue sources to minimize the effects of an economic downturn. The City also incorporates the following principles related to revenues as it furthers its financial planning and fulfills its fiscal responsibilities: 1. The City prefers to keep its property tax rate as low as possible. The following components shall be followed in priority order each year when establishing the property tax levy: a. Levy for Police, Fire and IMRF pensions per actuary calculations. If the actuarial reports indicated a higher employer contribution is needed, said increase will need to be added to the City’s overall previous year levy request to avoid underfunding problems. b. Levy for FICA. c. Levy for general obligation bond principal and interest less abatements. d. Levy to support General Fund operations including Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development, Finance, Human Resources, I.T. and Administration. The annual increase for this component should not exceed the rate of inflation. e. Levy to fund additional personnel as determined by the City Council. 2. User charges and tap-on fees will be sufficient to finance all operating and debt service costs for the Water Fund. 3. The City Manager should impose spending limits if, in his/her judgment, revenues will be below original estimates. Staff should review and monitor on City of DeKalb 224 Proposed Budget  a monthly basis expenditures to assure control of spending within available revenues. 4. Ongoing transfers will be made from the General Fund to the Fleet Replacement fund on an annual basis to help plan for the purchasing of large capital equipment needs. Expenditures The City will strive to adhere to the following policies: 1. The City will consistently budget the minimum level of expenditures which will provide for the public well-being and safety of the residents and businesses of the community. 2. Expenditures will be within the confines of generated revenue. Fund balances will not be used to pay for operating expenditures except in the case of emergencies and after careful consideration. City of DeKalb 225 Proposed Budget Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting Policy ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-05 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: The City shall have an annual audit conducted on its financial records by a qualified, independent public accounting firm. The City should request proposals from qualified independent accounting firms to conduct an annual audit of its financial statements every five to six yearsby the use of a request for proposal (RFP) process. In accordance with Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA’s) Best Practice Guidelines, the current auditors can be included in the RFP process, however, it is recommended changing the audit team if the same firm came in with the best proposal. The audit shall be conducted on an annual basis to be completed and filed within six months after the end of each fiscal year. The City should submit its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) to the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program. The City’s financial statements shall be prepared according to generally-accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Council (GASB). The City should contract with an independent actuary to determine the City’s annual contribution to the Police and Fire Pension Funds. When the City prepares monthly significant account reconciliations, prepares the year-end adjustments, and prepares the year-end financial statements, the following procedures will be followed. Administration of these procedures will be the responsibility of the City’s Finance Director and the Finance Director will sign off that these procedures have been adhered to on a monthly and year-end basis. Those procedures are as follows: The Finance Department, under approval of the Finance Director, will prepare a listing of all significant accounts of the City that are to be reconciled on a monthly basis. These accounts are to include at a minimum all balance sheet accounts at month-end, all grant related revenue and expense accounts, all restricted use revenue accounts and all other accounts deemed necessary by the Finance Department to be reviewed on a monthly basis. A monthly checklist of these accounts will be prepared and signed off by the Finance Director. City of DeKalb 226 Proposed Budget Within 90 days after the close of the fiscal year the Finance Department will be required to submit to the Finance Director all required year-end close adjustments. These adjustments are to be approved and reviewed by the Finance Director and posted to the general ledger prior to the auditors beginning audit fieldwork. The City’s auditors assist in the preparation of the City’s financial statements, including the footnote disclosures, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, the City will review a complete initial draft and final draft of the financial statements as prepared by the auditors. The City Finance Director will be responsible for a final complete review of the financial statements, including the footnotes disclosures, to ensure that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Any questions or concerns related to the financial statements will be discussed with the City’s auditors. The City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and Management Letter will be approved by the City Council and available for distribution no later than six months after the close of the City’s fiscal year-end. City of DeKalb 227 Proposed Budget Capital Asset Policy ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-06 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: Capital assets purchased or acquired with an original cost of $25,000 or more are reported at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are reported at fair market value as of the date received. Additions, improvements and other capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. General capital assets are long-lived assets of the City as a whole. Infrastructure such as streets, traffic signals and signs are capitalized. In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by the governmental activities) the government chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date. The valuation basis for general capital assets are historical cost, or where historical cost is not available, estimated historical cost based on replacement costs. Capital assets in the proprietary funds are capitalized in the fund in which they are utilized. The valuation bases for proprietary fund capital assets are the same as those used for the general capital assets. Donated capital assets are capitalized at estimated fair market value on the date donated. Depreciation on all assets is computed and recorded using the straight-line method of depreciation over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and Building Improvements 40 to 50 Years Equipment 10 to 20 Years Vehicles 3 to 20 Years Infrastructure 25 to 50 Years Water Distribution System 40 to 65 Years When capital assets are purchased with the use of federal funds the following procedures will be completed by the City. Administration of these procedures will be the responsibility of the City’s Finance Director and the Finance Director will sign off that these procedures have been adhered to for the purchase of every federal funded capital asset. Those procedures are as follows: Capital assets purchased with federal funds will be tagged with a special notation of “F” in addition to the regular identification number system used by the City. City of DeKalb 228 Proposed Budget The description of the capital asset in the City’s capital asset records will also include the words “federally funded” before the description of the specific asset acquired. The source of federal funds must be noted and include a description of who holds title to the assets, along with the asset acquisition date, the asset cost, location of the asset, condition and use/purpose of the asset. The portion of the asset that is federally funded must also be noted in the City’s capital asset records. Upon disposition of any federally acquired assets, the City must note in the capital asset records the disposition date and sale price. A physical inventory of all assets acquired with federal funds will be performed on a biennial basis. The results of the City’s inventory of federally funded capital assets will be reconciled to the City’s capital asset records to ensure accuracy. This inventory will be overseen and approved by the City’s Finance Director. City of DeKalb 229 Proposed Budget Debt Management Policy ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-07 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: The City of DeKalb developed this Debt Management Policy to help ensure the City’s credit worthiness and to provide a functional tool for debt management and capital planning. The City of DeKalb faces continuing capital infrastructure requirements to meet the increasing needs of its citizens. The City limits long-term debt to only those capital improvements that cannot be financed from current revenues. The City of DeKalb will not use long-term debt to fund operating programs. The costs of the capital requirements will be met through the issuance of various types of debt instruments. Consequently, the City needs to anticipate increases in debt levels based upon historical data. With these increases, the effects of decisions regarding the type of issue, method of sale, and payment structure become ever more critical to the City's financial well-being. To help ensure the City's credit worthiness, an established program of managing the City's debt becomes essential. To this end, the City Council recognizes this "Debt Management Policy" to be financially prudent and in the City's best economic interest. This policy will provide a functional tool for debt management and capital planning, and enhance the City's reputation for managing its debt in a conservative and prudent manner. Goals Related to the Issuance of General Obligation and Revenue Bond Debt: The City shall pursue the following goals below when issuing debt. Though the City may not have achieved all these goals as of yet, these are long term objectives for which we must continue to strive toward. 1. Maintain at least an Aa3 (Moody’s) or equivalent credit rating for each general obligation debt issue. 2. Take all practical precautions to avoid any financial decision which will negatively impact current credit ratings on existing or future debt issues. 3. The City should attain a General Fund unassigned balance equal to a minimum of twenty five percent (25%) of total annual expenditures. 4. Consider market timing. City of DeKalb 230 Proposed Budget  5. Determine the amortization (maturity) schedule which will best fit with the overall debt structure of the City’s general obligation debt and related tax levy at the time the new debt is issued. The City may choose to delay principal payments or capitalized interest during project construction. For issuance of revenue bonds, the amortization schedule which will best fit with the overall debt structure of the fund and its related rate structure will be considered. Consideration will be given to coordinating the length of the issue with the lives of assets, whenever practicable, while considering repair and replacement costs of those assets to be incurred in future years as an offset to the useful lives, and the related length of time in the payout structure. 6. Consider the impact of such new debt on overlapping debt and the financing plans of local governments which overlap, or underlie the City. 7. Assess financial alternatives to include new and innovative financing approaches, including whenever feasible, categorical grants, revolving loans or other state/federal aid. 8. Minimize debt interest costs. Debt Issuance in General: 1. Authority and Purposes of the Issuance of Debt The laws of the State of Illinois authorize the issuance of debt by the City. The Local Bond Law confers upon municipalities the power and authority to contract debt, borrow money, and issue bonds for public improvement projects as defined therein. Under these provisions, the City may contract debt to pay for the cost of acquiring, constructing, reconstructing, improving, extending, enlarging, and equipping such projects or to refund bonds. The City Charter authorizes the City Council to incur debt by issuing bonds for any lawful municipal purpose as authorized by the State Constitution or its Home Rule Powers. 2. Short-Term Debt (three years or less) The City may issue short-term debt to finance projects or portions of projects for which the City ultimately intends to issue long-term debt. This will be used to provide interim financing which will eventually be refunded with proceeds of long-term obligations, which may include, but not be limited to, bond anticipation notes or variable rate demand notes. The City will have an estimated timeframe when any short-term debt issue will eventually be converted into long-term debt. City of DeKalb 231 Proposed Budget  a. Line of Credit The City may also issue debt instruments to meet cash flow requirements. With the approval of the City Council, the City may establish a tax-exempt line of credit with a financial institution selected through a competitive process. This line should have a limit of $2,500,000. Draws should be made on the line of credit when the need for financing is needed to meet operating expenditures on a temporary basis. Draws made on the line of credit must be requested by the Finance Director and approved by the City Manager and the City Council. 3. Long-Term Debt (more than three years) The City may issue long-term debt which may include, but not limited to, general obligation bonds, certificates of participation, capital appreciation bonds, special assessment bonds, self-liquidating bonds and double barreled bonds. Level or declining debt service should be employed unless operational matters dictate otherwise, or except to achieve overall level debt service with existing bonds. The City shall be mindful of the potential benefits of bank qualification and will strive to limit its annual issuance of debt to $10 million or less when such estimated benefits are greater than the benefits of exceeding the bank qualification limit. Should subsequent changes in the law raise this limit, then the City policy will be adjusted accordingly. The cost of issuance of private activity bonds is usually higher than for governmental purpose bonds. Consequently, private activity bonds will be issued only when they will economically benefit the City. The cost of taxable debt is higher than for tax-exempt debt. However, the issuance of taxable debt is mandated in some circumstances and may allow valuable flexibility in subsequent contracts with users or managers of the improvement constructed with the bond proceeds. In addition, there may be circumstances in which the issuance of taxable debt may be more cost effective than the issuance of tax-exempt debt. Therefore, the City will usually issue obligations tax exempt, but may occasionally issue taxable obligations. a. Capital Leasing The City may also enter into long-term leases for public facilities, property, and equipment with a useful life greater than one year that costs less than $500,000. The City should be limited to issuing a capital lease of no more than $1,000,000 in a fiscal year. City of DeKalb 232 Proposed Budget  Whenever a lease is arranged with a private sector entity, a tax-exempt rate should be sought. Whenever a lease is arranged with a government or other tax-exempt entity, the City should strive to obtain an explicitly defined taxable rate so that the lease will not be counted in the City’s total annual borrowing subject to arbitrage rebate. The lease agreement should permit the City to refinance the lease at no more than reasonable cost should the City decide to do so. A lease which can be called at will is preferable to one which can merely be accelerated. 4. Capital Improvement Program The Capital Improvement Program (CIP), approved by the City Council as part of the annual budget, should determine the City's capital needs. The program should be a five- year plan for the acquisition, development and/or improvement of the City's infrastructure. Projects included in the CIP should be prioritized; and the means for financing each should be identified. If the current resources are insufficient to meet the needs identified in the CIP, the City Council may consider incurring debt to fund the shortfall. The City Council may also consider incurring debt to fund multiple years of the Capital Improvement Program. The CIP should be revised and supplemented each year to maintain and test compliance with the City's Debt Management Policy Financial Policy #01-07. 5. Structure of Debt Issues The duration of a debt issue should not remain outstanding beyond the asset’s useful life. Each new bond issue should be structured to be callable in 10 years. The City should design the financing schedule and repayment of debt so as to take best advantage of market conditions and, as practical, to recapture or maximize its credit capacity for future use, and moderate the impact to the taxpayer. In keeping with the stated goals of this debt management policy, the City should structure each general obligation issue (except refunding and mini-bond issues) to comply with the rapidity of debt repayment provisions in Section III. E-4 following. 6. Credit Enhancements Credit enhancements are mechanisms which guarantee principal and interest payments. Typically they include bond insurance and/or a line or letter of credit. Usually this will bring a lower interest rate and a higher rating from the rating agencies, thus lowering costs. City of DeKalb 233 Proposed Budget  The City may enter into agreements with commercial banks or other financial entities for the purpose of acquiring credit enhancements when their use is judged cost effective or otherwise advantageous. Any such agreements shall be approved by the City Council. 7. Inclusion of Local Institutions Whenever practical and in the best interest of promoting the City of DeKalb, local financial institutions are to be offered the opportunity to bid on debt instruments. Legal Constraints and Other Limitations on the Issuance of Debt 1. State Law 30 ILCS 305/0.01, et. seq.: the short title is "The Bond Authorization Act." 2. Authority for Debt The City may, by bond ordinance, incur indebtedness or borrow money, and authorize the issue of negotiable obligations, including refunding bonds, for any capital improvement of property, land acquisition, or any other lawful purpose with approval by the City Council. 3. Debt Limitation The City of DeKalb is a home rule community. As such, the debt limitations of the bond laws are not applicable because the General Assembly has set no limits for home rule municipalities. 4. Methods of Sale When feasible and economical, obligations should be issued by competitive rather than negotiated sale. A sale may be negotiated when the issue is predominantly a refunding issue or in other non-routine situations which require more flexibility than a competitive offer allows. Whenever the option exists to offer an issue either for competition or for negotiation, analysis of the options should be performed to aid in the decision-making process. When a sale is not competitively bid, the City will publicly present the reasons and select the underwriter or direct purchaser. If a Financial Advisor is hired to assist the City in bond issuance, the Financial Advisor will not underwrite any debt issues on which it is advising. The criteria used to select an underwriter in a competitive sale should be the true interest cost. In a negotiated sale, the underwriter may be selected with or without a request for proposals (RFP). The criteria used to select an underwriter in a negotiated sale should include the following: City of DeKalb 234 Proposed Budget   Overall experience  Marketing philosophy  Capability  Previous experience as managing a co-managing partner  Financial statements  Public Finance team and resources  Underwriter’s discount When cost/beneficial, the City may privately place its debt. Since no underwriter participates in a private placement, it may result in lower costs of issuance. Private placement is sometimes an option for small issues. 5. Credit Implications When issuing new debt, the City should strive not to exceed credit industry benchmarks where applicable. Therefore, the following factors should be considered in developing debt issuance plans: a. Ratio of Gross Bonded Debt to Full Market Value of Taxable Property The formula for this computation is Gross Bonded Debt, which is the total outstanding debt, divided by the current Full Market Value of Taxable Property as determined by the Township Assessors. The City should not exceed 2% of Gross Bonded Debt per Full Market Value of Taxable Property. b. Gross Bonded Debt Per Capita The formula for this computation is Gross Bonded Debt divided by the current population as determined by the most recent U.S. Census. The City should not exceed $1,200 for Gross Bonded Debt per capita. c. Ratio of Annual Debt Service to General Fund Expenditures The formula for this computation is annual debt service expenditures divided by General Fund expenditures (excluding certain interfund transfers). The City should not exceed 10% of General Fund expenditures for annual debt service. d. Rapidity of Debt Service Repayment The City's general obligation bond issues should be so structured whereby the duration of the debt should not exceed 120% of the life of the asset. e. Current Fund Balance General Fund Cash Reserve The City should maintain a General Fund unassigned balance equal to a minimum of twenty five percent (25%) of total annual appropriations, exclusive of interfund transfers. Such calculation, including a projection to City of DeKalb 235 Proposed Budget  June 30th (of the current fiscal year), should be made on an annual basis by the Finance Director (or designee) during the budget process. Debt Administration 1. Financial Disclosures The City shall prepare appropriate disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the federal government, the State of Illinois, rating agencies, underwriters, investors, agencies, taxpayers, and other appropriate entities and persons to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 2. Review of Financing Proposals All capital financing proposals that involve a pledge of the City's credit through the sale of securities, execution of loans or lease agreements and/or otherwise directly involve the lending or pledging of the City's credit shall be referred to the Finance Director who shall determine the financial feasibility, and the impact on existing debt of such proposal, and shall make recommendations accordingly to the City Manager. 3. Establishing Financing Priorities The Finance Director shall administer and coordinate the City's debt issuance program and activities, including timing of issuance, method of sale, structuring the issue, and marketing strategies. The Finance Director along with the City's bond consultants shall meet, as appropriate, with the City Manager and the City Council regarding the status of the current year's program and to make specific recommendations. 4. Credit Rating The City should endeavor to maintain and/or to improve its credit rating and staff will specifically discuss with the City Council any proposal which might cause that rating to be lowered. Before a general obligation bond is issued, the City will update its rating from at least one national rating agency. The City Manager, Finance Director, and the City's bond consultants should meet with a rating agency to disclose the City's capital plans, debt issuance program, and other appropriate financial information as required by the rating agency. 5. Refunding Policy The City should consider refunding outstanding debt when legally permissible and financially advantageous. When refunding for savings purposes, a net present value City of DeKalb 236 Proposed Budget  debt service savings of at least two percent or greater must be achieved. Depending on the time to maturity and the absolute level of interest rates of the refunding candidate this target may change. For longer maturities the target can be higher, for shorter maturities, lower. For higher interest rates the target may be higher, for lower rates it could be lower. There may be circumstances where the City may refund bonds for restructuring purposes that may not generate any savings. 6. Investment of Borrowed Proceeds The City acknowledges its ongoing fiduciary responsibilities to actively manage the proceeds of debt issued for public purposes in a manner that is consistent with Illinois statutes that govern the investment of public funds, and consistent with the permitted securities covenants of related bond documents executed by the City. The management of public funds should enable the City to respond to changes in markets or changes in payment or construction schedules so as to (i) optimize returns, (ii) insure liquidity, and (iii) minimize risk. The City will invest bond proceeds in accordance with the City’s investment policy and federal arbitrage requirements. Glossary of Terms: Ad Valorem Tax - A direct tax based "according to value" of property. Advanced Refunding Bonds - Bonds issued to refund an outstanding bond issue prior to the date on which the outstanding bonds become due or callable. Proceeds of the advanced refunding bonds are deposited in escrow with a fiduciary, invested in United States Treasury Bonds or other authorized securities, and used to redeem the underlying bonds at maturity or call date. Amortization - the process of paying the principal amount of an issue of bonds by periodic payments either directly to bondholders or to a sinking fund for the benefit of bondholders. Arbitrage - Usually refers to the difference between the interest paid on the tax-exempt securities and the interest earned by investing the proceeds in higher yielding taxable securities. Internal Revenue Service regulations govern arbitrage (reference I.R.S. Reg. 1.103-13 through 1.103-15). Arbitrage Bonds - Bonds which are deemed by the I.R.S. to violate federal arbitrage regulations. The interest on such bonds becomes taxable and the bondholders must include this interest as part of gross income for federal income tax purposes (I.R.S. Reg. 1.103-13 through 1.103-15). Assessed Value - An annual determination of the just or fair market value of property for purposes of ad valorem taxation. Basis Point - 1/100 of one percent.

The investor receives a single payment at maturity representing both the principal and investment return. Certificates of Participation - Documents, in fully registered form, that act like bonds. However, security for the certificates is the government's intent to make annual appropriations during the term of a lease agreement. No pledge of full faith and credit of the government is made. Consequently, the obligation of the government to make basic rental payments does not constitute an indebtedness of the government. Commercial Paper - Very short-term, unsecured promissory notes issued in either registered or bearer form, and usually backed by a line of credit with a bank.

Many of these securities are floating or variable rate, with the put option exercisable on dates on which the floating rate changes. Double Barreled Bonds (Combination Bonds) - A bond which is payable from the revenues of a governmental enterprise and are also backed by the full faith and credit of the governmental unit. Enterprise Funds - Funds that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business in that goods and services provided are financed primarily through user charges.

City of DeKalb 241 Proposed Budget Investment Policy ______________________________________________________________________________ Policy Number: 01-08 Date: January 9, 2017 Purpose: 1.01 Policy It is the policy of the City of DeKalb to invest public funds in a manner that will conform to state statute, maximize security, meet daily cash flow demands, and attempt to attain a market rate of return. 1.02 Scope This policy includes all funds governed by the City Council and, except for cash in certain restricted funds, the City of DeKalb will consolidate cash balances to maximize investment earnings. Investment income will be allocated to the various individual funds based on their respective participation. Interest income derived from non-fund specific consolidated bank accounts will be attributed to the General Fund. 1.03 Objectives The primary objectives of the City of DeKalb's investment activities are, in order of priority: A. Safety of principal Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio, while mitigating credit and interest rate risks, as defined below: 1. Credit Risk, that is, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer. It may be mitigated by:  Limiting investments to the safest types of securities;  Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisors with which the City will do business; and  Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized. 2. Interest Rate Risk, that is, the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fail due to changes in general interest rates. It may be mitigated by:  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, and  By investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities City of DeKalb 242 Proposed Budget B. Liquidity, so as to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated, the portfolio shall consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). C. Yield, with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of least importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments shall be limited to relatively low risk securities 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 declining credit security could be sold early to avoid loss of principal; 2. a security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio; or, 3. liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold. 1.04 Standards of Care A. Prudence The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers and employees of the City of DeKalb, while acting in good faith in accordance with this investment policy and any written procedures as might be established, shall be relieved of personal liability for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes. 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. B. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest City of DeKalb 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. They 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 shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of their entity. C. Delegation of Authority Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the authorized municipal official described in Chapter 54 of the DeKalb Municipal Code. Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the Finance Director or his/her designee, who shall carry out established written procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. These procedures shall include references to: safekeeping, delivery vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements collateral/depository agreements and banking services City of DeKalb 243 Proposed Budget contracts. All investments shall follow the investment plan designed and approved by the Finance Director or his/her designee prior to execution.

Securities will be held by a third party custodian as evidenced by safekeeping receipts. 1.06 Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions A list shall be maintained of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the City of DeKalb, as well as a list of approved security broker/dealers (or their respective custodial clearing firm) selected for creditworthiness (minimum capital requirement of $10,000,000 and at least five years of operation).

The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Accordingly, the Finance Director or his/her designee shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures.
