ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION

7.1 Consideration - Ordinance Adopting the Village of Huntley Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Operating and Capital Budget

Village Manager Dave Johnson presented the proposed FY25 Budget totaling approximately $44.1 million in expenditures across 17 active funds, a 13% reduction from the prior year. The General Fund accounts for $19.2 million or 44% of the budget, with other major allocations including the Water Capital Improvement Fund ($3.7 million), Street Improvement Fund ($3.3 million), Water Operating Fund ($3.2 million), and Wastewater Operating Fund ($3.2 million). A significant 33% of the budget is devoted to infrastructure investments, including the water production facility and Kreutzer Road widening and realignment project, which is the largest public improvement in the Village’s history, supported by over $10.5 million in grants.

Other highlights include the planned burial of overhead utility lines along Route 47 in collaboration with Rush Trucking, and the opening of retail incubator shops at the Hackett House by late 2025. The Village issued permits for $95 million in new construction in 2024, with significant progress in residential and commercial developments. Village Manager Johnson noted that the FY 2025 Budget balances expenditures with revenues, supported by transfers and fund balances, and highlighted key department allocations, including $10.3 million for the Police Department and $4.5 million for Public Works and Engineering. Staffing will increase by 1.5 full-time equivalent positions, reflecting strategic adjustments and department restructuring.

Village Manager Johnson emphasized the Village's commitment to preparing a budget document that effectively communicates its priorities in providing services, programs, and public improvements. He highlighted that the Village annually submits its budget to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and has earned this prestigious recognition for 21 consecutive years. Additionally, the Village received the GFOA’s special Triple Crown Medallion, honoring its achievement in obtaining all three GFOA awards: the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, and the Popular Annual Financial Report.

Village Manager Johnson emphasized the Village’s strong economic outlook and commitment to maintaining high-quality services and alignment with strategic priorities. He acknowledged the collaborative efforts of staff, particularly Deputy Village Manager Lisa Armour, Assistant Finance Director Kristi Ward-Nickels, and Management Analyst Morgan Kaiser, in creating a budget that meets the needs of the community and continues the Village’s award-winning financial planning tradition.

Village Manager Johnson shared in accordance with Illinois State Statute and direction received from the Village Board of Trustees, the Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Operating and Capital Budget is presented for final consideration. As reported at the November 7th Village Board meeting, the draft document was prepared using Property Tax Levy Option #2 in the amount of $5,484,241, an increase of 3.57% from the previous year.

Through the budget preparation and review process, operational and capital project goals have been identified for completion in 2025. Goals have been proposed which are in support of the mission, vision, and statement of strategic intent in the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. The operating and capital budgets have been reviewed with the Village Board in the following meetings:

• October 10, 2024 – Village Board Meeting – Review of Financial and Debt Management Policies (surplus revenue transfer history, outstanding debt balances, and debt per capita data), and Review of Personnel Staffing, Pension and Insurance Summary

• October 24, 2024 – Village Board Meeting – Review of Major Capital Revenue Sources and Preliminary Capital Requests from Departments (Non-Enterprise Funds) • November 7, 2024 – Village Board Meeting – Policy Direction Regarding 2024 Tax Levy, Policy Direction Regarding 2024 Tax Levy for Southwind Special Service Area Number 5, and Review of Water and Wastewater Operating Funds and Preliminary Water and Wastewater Capital Requests

The total budget for all 18 funds (17 active) is $44,178,117. Compared to the Amended FY24 Budget of $51,010,618, the FY25 Budget proposes $6,832,501 (13%) less in total expenditures. The FY25 General Fund expenditures are $19,217,607 or 44% of the total budget for all funds. Of the other major funds, the proposed expenditures and percentages of the overall budget are as follows:

• Water Capital Improvement and Equipment Fund: $3,699,805 (8.4%) • Street Improvements and Roads & Bridges Fund: $3,332,000 (7.5%)

• Water Operating Fund: $3,286,966 (7.4%)

• Wastewater Operating Fund: $3,226,926 (7.3%)

Thirty-three percent (33%) of the proposed budget is dedicated to investing in the Village’s infrastructure assets and downtown enhancements. Most importantly, the FY25 Budget is reflective of and focused on the Village’s vision of being the premier location in the region offering a healthy, well-balanced, prosperous, safe and friendly community for all.

Legal Analysis

Pursuant to State law, the draft budget document was made available for public inspection on the Village’s website and at the front counter of the Municipal Complex beginning Friday, November 22, 2024.

7.2 Consideration – Proposed Development Ordinance Authorizing the Levy and Collection of Taxes for the Village of Huntley 2024 Annual Property Tax Levy in the Amount of $5,484,241 and Directing the Village Treasurer to Record the Document Accordingly

Village Manager Johnson stated the Village Board reviewed three tax levy options at the November 7, 2024 Village Board meeting. State law requires that the levy cannot be adopted sooner than twenty (20) days after the initial discussion on the levy, which took place at the November 7, 2024 Village Board meeting. At that meeting, it was noted that the current draft of the FY25 Budget was based on Option #2 in the amount of $5,484,241, an increase of 3.57% from the previous year. The 2024 Tax Levy request for taxes payable in 2025 is $5,484,241. Once approved by the Village Board, staff will file the property tax levy ordinance with all appropriate offices at both McHenry and Kane Counties.

The Village’s 2024 estimated Rate Setting Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) is $1,412,626,844. The EAV increased by 14.65% or $180,505,595 from last year. The growth in EAV is attributable to the appreciation of existing properties and new construction. The EAV of new construction totals $29,154,420, or 2% of the total EAV.

Existing property values appreciated $151,351,175 or 12.2837% across all property types and are used to estimate tax bills, as shown with every option on the pages that follow. A property with a $325,000 market value in 2023 is estimated to appreciate to $364,922 in 2024. Properties that appreciated less than 12.28% may see a lower-than-estimated tax bill. Properties that appreciated more than 12.28% may see a higher-than-estimated tax bill. All estimates are reflective of the entire community and will vary from property to property.

OPTION #2 – Levy $5,484,241 (3.57% Increase)

• The proposed levy of $5,484,241 represents a $188,817 or 3.57% increase from last year which is the increase in the Police Pension

• The limited rate will decrease 9.7% from 0.4298 to 0.3882 per $100 of assessed valuation

• This option meets the Village’s policy of keeping the tax rate low while meeting the Village’s policy of funding the Police Pension; however, it does not increase financial resources for General Fund Operations

• This option directs 31.1% of the levy to the Police Pension compared to 28.6% in 2023

• The FY25 Draft Budget is formed around this option and was the option selected last year

2022-2025 Strategic Plan Alignment

The Strategic Plan identifies “Organizational Excellence” as a strategic focus, and the following goal: “Fiscal Responsibility.” By discussing property tax levy options, the Village will be a good steward of the public dollars entrusted to it to ensure the resources needed to provide services are available today and in the future.

7.3 Consideration – Ordinance Abating the Tax Hereto Levied for the Year 2024 to Pay the Principal of and Interest on General Obligation Bonds, Series 2020, of the Village of Huntley, McHenry and Kane Counties, Illinois

Assistant Director of Finance Kristi Ward-Nickels stated on June 11, 2020 the Village adopted Ordinance (O) 2020-06.41, which provided for the issuance of General Obligation Bonds, Series 2020 in the amount of $6,215,000. This issuance was for the refunding of debt certificates issued in 2015 and 2017, and the issuance of new monies to cover the cost of Downtown TIF Improvements in the amount of $1,500,000. The property tax levies necessary to pay these bonds were included in the bond ordinance and the related notification of sale, and filed with each of the County Clerks prior to closing.

The ordinance will abate this levy in full since other revenue sources have been dedicated to the payment of the debt principal and interest. Revenue from the Wastewater Operating Fund has been dedicated to pay for the refunding of the 2017 debt certificate portion of the General Obligation Bonds. Revenue sources dedicated to cover the Downtown TIF 2015 refunding and the new monies include the property tax dollars generated by the TIF increment, a portion of video gaming tax revenue from businesses located within the TIF, and transfers from the Water and Wastewater Operating Funds.

Financial Impact

In 2017, the Village issued $3,000,000 in debt certificates at an interest rate of 3.31% to fund upgrades to the Village’s current Wastewater Treatment Facilities (WWTF). In July 2020, the debt certificates (remaining balance of $2,330,000) were refunded with General Obligation Bonds at the lower rate interest rate of 1.39%, maintaining the original date of maturity (2032). This results in savings of more than $250,000 over the remaining life of the bond. Balance at the end of FY24 is $1,794,500 (with principal and interest), with a principal and interest payment of $232,400 in FY25.

In 2015, the Village authorized construction of the Downtown Streetscape Plan improvements by issuing a $4,000,000 Debt Certificate at an interest rate of 2.64%. In July 2020, the Village refunded these debt certificates, issued an additional $1,500,000 for infrastructure improvements within the Downtown TIF, and extended the payments through the life of the TIF, with the final payment to be made in 2037. Overall, the extension of the original debt certificates and the addition of the new money (total amount of $3,885,000) at the lower interest rate of 1.87% reduced the total annual payments by more than $30,000. Balance at the end of FY24 is $3,765,050 (with principal and interest), with a principal and interest payment of $287,400 in FY25.

Legal Analysis

The ordinance was prepared by the Village’s bond counsel, Chapman and Cutler LLP.

7.4 Consideration – Ordinance Abating the Tax Hereto Levied for the Year 2024 to Pay the Principal of and Interest on General Obligation Bonds, Series 2022, of the Village of Huntley, McHenry and Kane Counties, Illinois

Assistant Director of Finance Kristi Ward-Nickels stated on April 14, 2022 the Village adopted Ordinance (O)2022-04.20, which provided for the issuance of General Obligation Bonds, Series 2022, in the amount of $3,025,000 to help fund construction of the new Water Well No. 13 and Water Treatment Plant. The property tax levies necessary to pay these bonds were included in the bond ordinance and the related notification of sale, and filed with each of the County Clerks prior to closing.

The ordinance will abate this levy in full since other revenue sources have been dedicated to the payment of this debt principal and interest. Revenue from the Water Operating Fund user charges has been dedicated to cover the payments for this issuance.

Financial Impact

In 2022, the Village issued General Obligation Bonds for $3,025,000 at an interest rate of 4% to fund construction of the new Water Well No. 13 and Water Treatment Plant. The balance at the end of FY24 is $3,147,000 (principal and interest) with a principal and interest payment of $292,200 in FY25.

7.5 Consideration – Ordinance Approval of the Special Tax Rolls for the Village of Huntley Special Service Areas

Assistant Director of Finance Kristi Ward-Nickels stated the Village Board is being requested to amend the tax rolls and abate taxes for each Special Service Area (SSA) in the Village. The need to amend the Special Tax Rolls and abatement of SSA taxes is the result of the actual Special Tax Requirement in each Special Service Area for the 2024 levy year for taxes payable in 2025.

As reported last year, collections from the calendar year 2022 levy were enough to pay off the remaining bonds for Special Service Area Number 6. When issued, the bonds were scheduled to mature on March 1, 2025. Due to the pay off, tax abatements were filed with the county for the 2023 Tax Levy and will be again for the 2024 Tax Levy.

The Village is still required to file Special Service Area Ordinances for SSA’s 7, 8, 9 and 10 to ensure that adequate funds are available to pay for the annual bond and interest payment of each Special Service Area. The Village is not requesting to actually levy taxes for Special Service Areas 7, 8, 9, and 10, since the actual levy was requested at the time of bond issuance for each Special Service Area.

MuniCap, Inc., the Village’s financial consultant for administering the service areas, calculates the Special Tax Requirements for Special Service Areas 7 - 10 and prepares a report pursuant to the corresponding “Rate and Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax” as stated in the bond documents. As shown in the chart below all taxes are well below the maximum tax for each Special Service Area.

The decrease in taxes for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to higher surpluses from the prior year and shrinking interest payments due to lower outstanding principals.

Financial Impact

Special Service Areas 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 are for maintenance of open space and common area in the residential subdivisions. SSA #5 (Southwind) is the only active maintenance SSA levy at this time. No increase is being requested over last year’s tax levy. The common area and open space in the other nine Special Service Areas are the responsibility of the homeowner’s associations in each of the respective neighborhoods, and the SSA’s are considered “dormant.” The Village would only enact the SSA’s if the common area and open space were not being maintained properly.

Legal Analysis

The Village’s third-party tax advisors have reviewed the proposed ordinances.

Action Requested

A motion is requested of the Village Board to approve the following ordinances levying and abating taxes for the Village of Huntley Special Service Areas:
