160341 Overview of the General Fund FY 17 Revenues and Expenses
Trustee Reid Foltyniewicz, Chairperson of the Finance and
Administration Committee, thanked everyone for attending the Special
Meeting to review the proposed budget. He noted that the budget took a
conversative approach and projected revenues low and expenditures
high. The Finance and Administration Committee began last November
to review the budget. He indicated the committee did not want to count
their chickens before they hatched and the Village cannot count on
Mariano's and Sam's Club for revenues until the stores are opened.
The Finance Committee has recommended an increase in the Places for
Eating Tax of 1% which would generate $800,000. Half of the revenue
would go to the General Fund and half would be put into a reserve
account with use of those funds to be determined.
He noted the following:
Revenues: Sales tax collections pulled back a bit in the first 6 months
with turmoil in the stock market, and uncertainty in the economy. The
election in November will also add to more uncertainty. The current State
budget situation will likely hold back economic growth in the State. There
was a significant decline in April's State Income Tax compared to last
year, down 34% from the prior year. The Village has to wait for more
information from the State relative to the reason for the decline. This
revenue is still at risk as part of any budget reforms that may happen for
the second half of the State's FY 17 budget. A portion of the Utility Tax is
used in the General Fund for operations and to maintain the 25%
General Fund balance. The projected FY 2017 General Fund request is
4.34% less than the FY16 Budget. The revenue for gas and electric goes
up or down based on environmental factors, and the price of natural gas.
Natural gas prices have increased 40% recently. The
Telecommunications Tax has declined 41% over the last ten years due
to the move away from landlines and lower cost cell phone plans
(excluding the data piece) and the Village expects this trend to continue.
Tax levy requests per actuarial valuation report for the year ending
12/31/2015 is revenue that is requested in the 2016 tax levy. The
increases are due to increased average salaries, investment return was
less than assumed and the assumptions were changed to reflect the RP
2014 mortality table. The FY 2017 budget includes only 1/2% of the 1%
($800,000) anticipated by the increase in Places for Eating Tax. The
2016 revenues are coming in slightly higher than budgeted. The other
1/2% will be placed in a Long Range Plan Reserve Fund. The Finance
Committee will review this and provide a recommendation to the Village
Board relative to the use for the funds. Projected revenues from EMS
Village of Lombard Page 2
Special Meeting Board of Trustees Minutes August 22, 2016
fees, Local Use fees, Cable TV Franchise fees, and amusement tax is
based on the current year collections.
Expenses: Wages - Wages include salaries and estimated increases
for all Village employees. Increases are in accordance with union
contracts. The general wage increases are 2.-2.5%. The increase of
4.77% includes step increases.
Health Insurance - The Village assumed a 4% increase in health
insurance rates.
Police Pension - The Village's Tax Levy requirement has increased due
to the increase in average salaries, the investment return was less than
assumed, and changes to the assumptions. The percent funded has
decreased from 65.3% last year to 61.6% this year.
Fire Pension - The Village Tax Levy requirement has increased slightly
due to the increase in average salaries, the investment return was less
than assumed, changes to the assumptions, and the new incident of
disability. The percent funded has decreased from 76.9% last year to
72.5% this year.
Fleet Operating & Maintenance - Based upon an analysis by division of
fleet O&M, the Village projects a 9.63% decrease in fuel, 2.1% decrease
in labor costs and a 21.64% decrease for parts.
Emergency Dispatch - This pays for DuComm fees for 67 Police
Officers. The Fire Department's DuComm fee is based on the Village
EAV. More municipalities have joined DuComm and the overhead costs
are fairly distributed which decreased the Village's portion of the
expense.
Benefits - Other benefits include life insurance, uniforms and tuition
reimbursement.
Technology Reserve - New technology is paid for by individual funds.
Each fund annually contributes to the Technology Reserve account for
replacement of the specific equipment at the end of the equipment's
useful life. Replacement cost and useful life for each item is re-evaluated
annually. This re-evaluation may change the annual amounts that each
fund contributes. The FY 17 proposed budget includes the changes
identified in the Long Range Plan to the reserve calculation for Police
and Fire Starcom radios, and as software shifts to cloud technology there
will be fewer servers purchased.
Legal - Decrease due to union contract settlements in 2017.
Electric - Bid pricing for street lighting reduced compared to previous
years.
Telephone - Although the IT division has reduced the number of high
priced lines, the overall bill continues to increase due to overall annual
prices increases.
Total General Fund expenses increased $422,493 or 1.20% compared
to FY16 budget. 85.93% of the General Fund expenses are
non-discretionary. Wages make up 95% of the total increase to
Village of Lombard Page 3
Special Meeting Board of Trustees Minutes August 22, 2016
non-discretionary expenses. Discretionary expenses are $357,385 less
than the FY16 budget. The projected FY16 year-end revenues over
expenses is $43,277.
Long Range Plan FY 2017 changes included remove vacant positions;
convert Police Department Accreditation Manager from 38 hours to 27.5
hours per week; salary transfers out of General Fund; remove some line
items from budget; reduce some expenses in budget; implement
financial policy changes.
The FY 2018 budget is proposed at -$600,000. Revenues generated
from new businesses to open in 2017 will help offset the proposed
deficit.

160343 Budget Overview - Finance Department and General Services
Budgets
Director of Finance Tim Sexton provided the following overview of the
proposed FY 2017 Finance Department budget as follows:

to budget funds for a SAN and 3 Nodes for the Village Hall, replace
Police and Fire AED's, purchase of Windows 2016 User Server Cals
and licenses; and the Utility Billing and Accounts Maintenance budget
includes an increase for credit card and bank fees associated with doing

Village of Lombard Page 7
Special Meeting Board of Trustees Minutes August 22, 2016
Finance Department Challenges:
Resolving of the LPFC debt issue; begin residential water meter
replacement program (anticipated early next year); complete water meter
and sewer rate study; continue to reduce expenses to prevent future
deficits and prepare for potential local revenue cuts that may be made by
the State of Illinois (state mandates could increase faster than revenues;
Mariano's and other new businesses may help offset, but there will still be
challenges; much retail moving to the Internet.
160344 Budget Overview - Community Development Department
Director of Community Development Bill Heniff provided the following
overview of the proposed FY 2017 Community Development Department
budget as follows:
The Community Development budget comprises 4.5% of the total
proposed General Revenue Fund. The overall proposed Community
Development FY budget is $1,618,140, which represents an increase in
the amount of $18,260 or a1.14% increase from the 2016 budget. Most
of the increased costs are allocated to employee incorporation or private
contractors performing department services. Staff took a straight-line
approach to the proposed FY 2017 budget. A significant portion of the
activities undertaken by the department are market driven in the form of
permits and/or development approvals. In the 2015 calendar year the
department took in $1,405,173 for such services. Based upon data thus
far, 2016 is on pace to equal that figure. Discretionary spending for the
department is actually decreasing from 2016 as no new technology
enhancement or capital investments are being sought and training dollars
are also being reduced. The only significant increase in expenditures
pertains to contracted inspectional services. This increase is the result
of additional demands for building inspection services and
corresponding increases in labor costs for such third-party services. This
increase and the availability of qualified labor to perform requisite permit
reviews and inspections while meeting the demands of the public will be
among the challenges for the department moving forward.
Community Development Significant Increases/Decreases:
Administration - Overall reduction of $6,700 from approved FY 2016
budget; no significant capital expenses in FY 2017 (technology expenses
made in 2015 & 2016); other reductions largely attributable in training
and travel costs.
Planning Services Division - overall increase of $2,800 over approved
FY 2016 budget; downward adjustments made to training/travel and
operating supplies.
Village of Lombard Page 8
Special Meeting Board of Trustees Minutes August 22, 2016
Code Administration - Overall increase of $3,450 over approved FY
2016 budget; no discretionary expense changes for FY 2017.
Building - Overall increase of $18,095 over approved FY 2016 budget;
increase attributable to increased demand for permits and need to
contract out such services at a higher rate than in-house staff ($64,660 to
$80,825); all other discretionary cost centers essentially the same as FY
2016.
Private Engineering Services - Overall increase of $615 above approved
FY 2016 budget; no significant capital expenses or changes in operating
costs in FY 2017 (technology expenses ,ade in 2015 and 2016); other
reductions largely attributable to reductions in training and travel costs.
Community Development Department Challenges: Implement goals and
priorities set by Village Board and committees, while meeting increases
in service demand; meet increasing demands of the public and the
development community, given budget constraints (i.e., ensuring we can
deliver on the permits customers are seeking or have already paid for);
be able to attract and retain qualified staffing to meet public demands at
a cost competitive rate, given constrained market conditions and labor
costs; continue to pursue and implement technology enhancement that
meet both Village and customer needs without excessive staff research
and development efforts; build concurrent and future economic goals and
successes.
160345 Budget Overview - Fire Department
Interim Fire Chief Pat Gericke provided the following overview of the
proposed FY 2017 Fire Department budget as follows:
The Fire Department proposed FY 2017 budget represents an overall
increase of 4% over the FY 2016 budget. Most notably are contractual
obligations of salary, pension and benefits, as well as an increase to the
Risk Management Assessment. A re-occurring expense is maintaining
the aging fire stations. Station One was built in 1987 and Station Two
was built in 1969. The budget reflects a minimum daily manning of
sixteen (16) Firefighter/Paramedics and the 24/7 of three (3) ambulances
365 days per year. The deployment of the third ambulance will better
enable the Fire Department to meeting the increasing calls for service,
reduce the Fire Department reliance on neighboring communities and
distribute the increasing number of calls among our paramedics which
also lends well to be a significant part of a comprehensive risk and injury
and reduction program as it relates to staff. Deploying a third medic unit
will also allow the Fire Department to capture EMS revenues that might
otherwise to to neighboring agencies.
Areas of savings in the budget includes fleet reserve expenses,
Village of Lombard Page 9
Special Meeting Board of Trustees Minutes August 22, 2016
equipment purchases, supplies and dispatch costs.
Ongoing challenges for the Fire Department include: the majority of
Firefighters have less then ten years of experience, and all but four of our
Lieutenants have been officers for five years or less. The Fire
Department focus will continue to be educating, training and mentoring of
a relatively young group of officers and firefighters. Also, continued
maintenance and updating of aging fire stations.
The Fire Department's proposed FY 2017 budget for all funds is
$12,259,779 which is an increase of $456,672 (4%) compared to the FY
2016 budget. General Fund increased $406,772 (4%); Fire Donation
Fund had no change; Hotel/Motel Tax fund decreased by $350 (12%);
Foreign Fire Fund decreased $2,300 (4%); Liability Fund increased
$52,550 (12%); and there was no change in the SSA #7 fund.
Notable changes to cost centers are:
Fire Administration - Increase of $155,490 transfer to Firefighters
Pension;
Fire Buildings - Building Repairs - Decrease of $3,730;
Fire Prevention - fire Prevention Other Professional and Technical
Services increase of $2,000 due to anticipated development activity and
subsequent plan reviews. These plan reviews do generate permit fees
and this cost is expected to be recovered.
Fire & Rescue Services - Fire Rescue Overtime Wages $168,460. This
estimated overtime increase is a result of negotiated contactual changes
including minimum manning and benefits. This cost will be offset as
deploying a third medic unit will allow us to capture EMS revenue that
otherwise would have gone to other agencies. Decrease - Fire Rescue
Transfer to Fleet Services O&M $20,740 (fuel, parts nd labor). Decrease
- Fire Rescue Transfer to Fleet Services Reserve - $104,420. The 2016
budget reflected the adjusted reserve to purchase a new engine.
Decrease - transfer to Tech reserve $67,080 - Starcom portable radios
replaced per available positions on apparatus not assigned to each
person. Decrease - Operational Supplies $37,505. This cost center was
decreased due to Structural Firefighting Gear that was purchased in
2016 for newly hired firefighters. Decrease - Emergency Dispatch
$6,650. This DuComm fee is lower due to DuComm taking on additional
agencies and the economies for doing so have been passed on to
existing members. Fire Rescue Training increase of $2,808 due to
proposed purchase of a metal container intended to serve as a
simulation and live fire burn room. Emergency Medical Services
increase of $58,810 wages (contractual); decrease of $4,816 for
Emergency Medical Services Operating Supplies (some supplies were
purchased in 2016 (video laryngoscopes and suction devices).
Emergency Preparedness increase of $7,549 for Emergency
Preparedness. This net increase reflects two proposed purchases
including six (6) portable radios and a proposed joint purchase with the
Village of Lombard Page 10
Special Meeting Board of Trustees Minutes August 22, 2016
Butterfield Home Owners Association for an Outdoor Warning Siren to
replace a current siren that is old and inoperable. The total cost is
$22,000 with 50% at $11,000. Risk Management increase of $52,550
which accounts for the Fire Department share of insurance premiums
paid by the Village as well as Fire Department Workman's comp costs.
Assistant Fire Chief Howell spoke of a reduction in overtime due to the
increase in minimum manning.
Trustee Ware questioned the decrease in overtime and requested a
report on the past five years of overtime.
Fire Department Challenges: Ability to meet the Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) needs of the community as the number of calls for
assistance continues to increase. This challenge will be much easier to
meet with the daily deployment of three (3) ambulances. The
development and training of a relatively young group of officers and
firefighters. Collaborative and equitable mutual and adaptive aid
relationships with our neighboring communities. Continued maintenance
and updating of aging fire stations.
160346 Budget Overview - Police Department
Chief of Police Ray Byrne provided an overview of the proposed FY
2017 Police Department budget as follows:
The FY 2016 Police Department budget reduced discretionary spending
by 2.42%. The proposed FY 2017 budget proposes a 1.74% increase.
The majority of the increase is attributable to the increase in the police
pension fund costs due to increased salaries, investment returns and
actuarial studies using an updated mortality table. The second is
contractually agreed upon wage increases for most employees in
addition to an increase in clothing allowance of $7,750. The FY 2017
budget includes the replacement of tasers, Narcan supply and AED's.
The hiring of additional Police Officers to bring the department up to
authorized staffing is included. $7,000 has been added to the training
budget for the cost of recruit training at the police academy. A reduction
in overtime costs in the Hotel/Motel Fund by $22,770 reflects the
elimination of the Taste of Lombard event.
The Police Department's FY 2017 proposed budget for all funds is
$15,441,185 which is an increase of $264,800 (1.74%) compared to FY
2016. The General Fund increased $108,270 (1%), DUI
Equipment/Technology Fund no change; Police Donation Fund no
change; Police Grants decreased $15,100 (12%); Hotel/Motel Tax fund
Village of Lombard Page 11
Special Meeting Board of Trustees Minutes August 22, 2016
decreased $22,770 (23%); Federal Seizure Fund decreased $72,380
(32%); State Seizures Fund decreased $10,000 (59%); Liability
Insurance Fund increased $264,800 (2%).
Significant Increases/Decreases:
Police Administration: Police Pension Fund increased $91,680 (8%) due
to increased average salaries, investment return was less than assumed
and the assumptions were changed to reflect the RP 2014 Mortality
Table; Overall budget increase of 1.74% includes 2.25% wage increases
for most employees; $7,750 increase in uniform costs is also associated
with the contractual increases; Taser replacement is budgeted at $9,000;
NARCAN replacement is budgeted at $4,160; $7,000 has been added
in anticipation of recruit training at the police academy; overtime costs for
a 2017 Taste of Lombard have been removed; Equipment service
contract has been increased by $2,000 for repairs and better cleaning of
the range; Building operating supplies has been increased by $5,000,
but janitorial services have been reduced by $10,000 resulting in a net
decrease of $5,000 to the cost center; replacement AED's ($20,000) has
been transferred to tech reserve.
Police Department Challenges:
The continued aging of the police facility. The facility will be 40 years old
in 2017 and is likely to continue to require significant maintenance
improvements or repairs to keep it functional; preparing and budgeting
for the countywide CAD/RMS project; returning to full authorized strength;
space needs - a space needs study has already determined that the
building is too small for storage and the number of personnel since it was
originally built; K-9 transition; re-accreditation.
Village Manager Niehaus noted that with all that is going on in the world,
training of officers is important as well as equipment such as tasers.
Accreditation of the Police Department will protect the Village, the police
and the residents.
Trustee Foltyniewicz noted that the Village Board had held three
meetings relative to the budget so there were not a lot of surprises. He
thanked the Finance Committee, the staff and the Board.
