FY2025 BUDGET DISCUSSION
FY2025 BUDGET DISCUSSION
Trustee Schwenk turned the meeting over to Administrator Guenther.
Mr. Guenther started by saying the projected revenues for 2024 were $32,435,000 but
are now projected to be $34,948,449, which is a good thing to see. The flip to that is
expenditures were higher than anticipated. Police and Fire are higher due to new
contracts and dispatch was an overtime drain with having to hire an outside contractor
also. However we changed legal firms allowing us to save a great deal. And while the
projected revenues seem to match the total expenditures, this is due to the fact that
there are approximately 6 weeks left in the fiscal year and we expect the departments to
use all their dollars.
Two versions of the budget have been presented here--one includes a .25% sales tax
increase that will be discussed later in the meeting.

$13,092,600
We now have sales tax exceeding our property taxes. This has happened post-Covid due
to the cannabis taxes and the Board reimaging the downtown in terns of opening up the
outdoor dining and development.
REVENUES – FY24 PROJECTIONS
Income Tax – Down 1%
Sales Tax – Down 1%
Cannabis – Down 26%
Interest – Up 1900%
We expected the tax from cannabis to drop due to other dispensaries opening. The interest
number shown was due to both Linda and Lee taking advantage of higher interest rates and
making sizable investments. That amount (1900%) will translate to approximately $700,000
offsetting the cannabis amount loss.
FY2024 Expenditures by Department--
Police continues to be the largest as expected.
BUDGET OUTLOOK 2024-2025
The increases seen below: Finance now consumes our insurance whereas before it was in
Administration. Insurance costs have risen both in premiums and deductibles. Fire has additional
personnel costs as does Police which includes adding a social worker to our budget--last year this
salary was covered by a federal grant that will not be renewed. Public Works' increase now included
vehicle maintenance, gasoline and facility maintenance that previously was divided up among the
other departments.

CAPITAL PROJECTS--WHAT IS IN?
This year's budget is up approximately $6.5M from last year. This will include a large road
project. Over the last 3 years the Village has received roughly $2M from the state as part of the
"rebuild Illinois" project. These dollars have been stockpiled and now have to be used by a
certain date. It has to be bid out in a different process than we typically do. We have been
teamed up with Libertyville and Vernon Hills to get better costs with road projects over the last
few years but this process cannot be used for this stockpiled money, which must be used by
the end of 2024. Thanks to the extra money we will be able to add in streets to be redone.
We will also have to update the way we read water meters, it is a cellular technology. We are
using a lot of water that is not being captured by our current technology which has aged out--
our meters are not reading usage properly anymore.

CONSOLIDATION OF ACCOUNTS
We are always trying to find ways of combining processes.
A separate discussion of a possible .25% increase to the Village's sales tax was done. The
.25% increase would be due to the State's proposed removal of the permanent 1%
"grocery tax". If this is of interest to the Board, we have until April 1, 2024 to implement
this increase (it would take place July 1, the same date of the proposed "grocery tax"
removal. Due to Home Rule, municipalities cannot tax groceries (unless this is changed by
the state).
Also a possible increase to the water rates was discussed. There is a need to update the
water meters in the Village because they are aging out and accuracy is being lost causing
"lost" water. When this missing water amounts to 10% the State questions it, this has not
happened until recently when the "lost" water percentage rose to 11%. Cellular
technology is available to be applied to the water meters--other municipalities have been
using this, we are behind. It was pointed out that this increase would not include the
meter cost updating. The 11% cost includes the JAWA increase and current capital
expenses. This does not cover the meter improvements--this would be spread out over 3-
4 years. However as more communities come online (get Lake Michigan water) it can
lower other's rates, including ours. It has happened before (years of flat rates due to this
happening).

• 8,374 inspections, an increase of 62.2%.
• 96 % of all non-residential properties were inspected by our part-time fire inspector program, and assistance from the Fire Department. This is the highest completion rate in many
years.
• Staff received and worked on over 1,056 complaints for the year 2023. This does not include any cases leftover from year 2022.
• Over 3,148 permits have been submitted 2023 for Mundelein alone.
• 60 Code Enforcement cases were processed through the Administrative Adjudication program.
• Fence enforcement is at full swing with approximately over 50% of those identified making repairs in the first year.
• Chicken keeping permits, a total of 12 have been processed with inspections of the properties underway. Approval of the property and the coop must take place before chickens can
arrive.
• Landlord Registration are processed online for the second with very little issue.
• Contractor Registrations are being processed online for the second year. Over 2200 applications have been submitted
Goals
Continue to maintain a high level of professionalism while performing our duties and educate whenever possible. Continue to deliver a very high level of customer service and continue to find
ways of improving that and being more efficient. Continue development of on-line, paperless submittals for permits, registrations and all applications. Continue with the training and
professional development of staff. The technology of construction is ever changing, and it is vital that inspection staff remain well trained. Review all fees charged in the department and
propose any changes to the Village Board in order to keep fees as current and up to date as possible. Continue to develop a succession plan for the department. Propose updates to the major
building codes for adoption by the Village. The next suggested update would be to the 2021 International Code Series.
