VILLAGE HALL January 20, 2026 7:00 PM
Village Manager Wachtel provided the Board with information about the parcels of land that OBE
has requested from the Village that were acquired through the “no cash bid program”, the proposed
agreement between the Village and OBE that was drafted by Kathleen Orr (Village Attorney) that
is similar to other agreements approved by the Board, and the steps that OBE is required to
complete before any property transfer. Village Manager Wachtel further advised the Board that,
in the future, it will need to consider a Class 8 tax abatement for OBE; that there is a “make whole
agreement” to make the Village whole for its taxes in recognition of the services we provide the
property; and that the Village retains the right to recapture the ownership of this property if OBE’s
development plans fail.
Mayor Nelson asked the Board if there were any questions for Mr. Brewer. The Board had very

DISCUSSION ITEMS
6. Discussion of the FY25-26 Mid-Year Financial Review
Village Manager Wachtel gave a detailed presentation about the Village’s mid-year financial
review. Village Manager Wachtel provided information about the mid-year review of the general
fund (used for general Village operations), the water and sewer fund (one of the Village’s larger
enterprise funds), variances for revenues and expenditures, and reports from each of the Village’s
department directors discussing goals for Fiscal Year 2026. This presentation included, in part, a
discussion on the following topics:
• The reasons that the Village performs this non-mandated mid-year financial review and
conducts it in a public forum.

MINUTES OF MAYOR NELSON AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING
OF THE VILLAGE OF FLOSSMOOR, ILLINOIS HELD ON JANUARY 20, 2026
VILLAGE HALL January 20, 2026 7:00 PM
• Revenues that are trending higher than expected from sales taxes, non-home rule sales
taxes, state income sales taxes, ambulance fees, and the casino tax from Wind Creek
Casino.
• Revenues that are trending lower than expected from local use taxes, utility taxes, grant
monies, and property taxes.
• Expenditures that have been less than budgeted.
• Fringe benefits that are trending over budget.
• Expenses related to maintaining Village Hall.
• Expenses that are offset by a grant from ComEd for crosswalk flashing beacons, and
expenses for the purchase of cameras that are offset by the Retail Theft Grant from the
Illinois Attorney General’s Office.
• Expenses that are trending under budget because of capital projects that will not be
completed by the fiscal year end.
• Personnel-related savings due to vacancies in different departments.
• General Fund contributions to the annual street resurfacing program.
• Projected fund balance used to support operations with over one million in savings for cash
flow.
• The General Fund operating position is better than expected by approximately
$870,000.00, and there is a higher fund balance than what was budgeted.
• The delay in Cook County property tax bills is due to Cook County’s major technology
conversion.
• Property tax bills were due December 15th, and so far, the Village has received only about
$683,000.00 in property tax revenue, whereas the second installment of the Village’s tax
levy is approximately $3.5 million.
• Cash flow issues that have resulted from Cook County’s delay in tendering property tax
receipts, the Village not being able to benefit from the interest that it normally earns on
property tax revenues, and the steps the Village is taking to mitigate cash flow issues caused
by Cook County’s failure to timely distribute property tax revenues.
• Cook County has failed to provide a firm time period for the distribution of property tax
receipts.
• It is uncertain when Cook County will distribute to the Village any of its property tax
revenues.
• Cook County’s untimely payment of property tax revenues has caused the Village to suffer
from a loss of investment and interest revenue.
• Steps to consider for reducing the impact of this loss in property tax monies.
• The Water and Sewer Fund and payment for projects using cash on hand.
• Revenue from water and sewer sales, and the costs.

VILLAGE HALL January 20, 2026 7:00 PM
• Penalty revenues are trending higher for residents. The Village is evaluating monthly
billing for water and sewer to help residents budget and pay for services.
• Water purchase costs are projected to be higher, and this will be offset by lower overtime
expenses.
• The Water and Sewer Fund balance is expected to decrease from $1.8 million to $1.7
million due to expenditures for capital infrastructure improvements.
• The water bill-to-purchase ratio is holding steady at 79%.
• The Village has healthy reserves that have been aided by the receipt of grant monies.
• The Village needs to continue to diversify revenue resources.
• In a worst-case scenario, it may be necessary for the Village to use interfund borrowing
temporarily to support operations because of the decreased cash flow that has resulted from
not receiving property tax revenues from Cook County.
• The Village has a very strong financial history that has aided it in successfully managing
various financial issues such as that caused by Cook County not distributing property tax
revenues.
Mayor Nelson advised the Board that Village Manager Wachtel first flagged in November of 2025
that issues will arise from Cook County’s failure to timely send out property tax bills and distribute
payments. The Village has been diligently contacting numerous Cook County officials about this
problem and has not received a satisfactory response. The Village is also working with the South
Suburban Mayors and Managers Association to build a coalition to lobby Cook County to solve
this problem as soon as possible.
Mayor Nelson asked the Board for any questions and/or comments about the Village’s mid-year
financial review as reported by Village Manager Wachtel. Trustee Lofton praised the Village for
being able to manage these issues on a high level and also inquired about the sources of grants
received by the Village. Village Manager Wachtel advised that federal grants have been a large
source of funding, and current federal grants have been put on hold pending administrative review.
Trustee Dorsey inquired about interest being paid to the Village on delayed property tax payments.
Village Manager Wachtel responded that this issue is being evaluated and turned to Village
Attorney Ottosen for a response. Village Attorney Ottosen advised that Cook County is supposed
to turn over money received from property taxes within 30 days; this has not happened, and there
are discussions between various taxing agencies about whether litigation should be pursued against
Cook County. Mayor Nelson advised that the goal is to work with Cook County to rectify this
issue without resorting to litigation. Trustee Dorsey and Trustee Rodgers both voiced support for
exploring litigation against Cook County. Trustee Daggett expressed his disappointment in Cook
County for creating this problem and for its lack of adequate communication. Trustee Mustafa
praised the Village directors and manager for having a strong history of successful financial

management and expressed optimism that the Village will “weather this storm.” Trustee Mitros
praised the Village for its strong financial history and noted that the Village has planned for
situations like this for years.

Mayor Nelson stated the following:
• Crane’s Chicago Business highlighted Flossmoor’s 12% growth in its home prices while
the rest of the Chicago area remained stagnant and praised the work done by Village staff,
volunteers in the Village and all the Village partners for making this happen.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bridget Wachtel, Village Manager
CC:
FROM: Ann Novoa, Finance Director
DATE: January 20, 2026
RE: Consideration of an Ordinance of the Village of
Flossmoor, Cook County, Illinois Amending Chapter 150
of the Village of Flossmoor Municipal Code (Late Fees)
I am requesting an amendment for Chapter 150 of the Flossmoor Municipal Code to establish a late
penalty for all fee and fine charges established by the village. Examples include health inspections,
alcohol licenses, weedy lot mowing, business and contractor registration fees, various building fees,
enforcement fines and others identified in Chapter 150 of the code.
At present, our procedure for non-payment of Village fee and fine charges is to send a reminder after
30 days, a late notice after 60 days, and a statement after 90 days. Once the Village does not
receive payment after 120 days, the outstanding invoice is sent to Harvard Collection Service.
Inherently, this process is costing the Village money as the collection service charges a percentage
of anything collected, and therefore, if at all successful after months of trying to collect on
outstanding balances, the Village isn’t even receiving the full amount charged.
To help address this matter and incentivize prompt payment, the Finance Department is requesting
the Village Board consider adoption of the following language:
§ 150-12-1: Imposition of fee for late payment.
A late payment of ten percent (10%) per month is hereby imposed upon any fee, fine or penalty
imposed by this code not paid in full within thirty (30) days of receipt of any notice, invoice or request
for payment.
The Finance Department believes this amendment will assist with the prompt payment of monies
due the Village, offset the administrative time in collecting late accounts receivable and help with the
loss of revenue if the invoices are sent to collections. The attached Flossmoor Municipal Code
ordinance implements a late fee as described.

DATE: January 20, 2026
RE: Consideration of an Ordinance of the Village of
Flossmoor, Cook County, Illinois, Approving a
Development Agreement by and between the Village of
Flossmoor and OBE Studios, LLC
The Village acquired 3638 198th Street and 3648 198th Street through the Cook County municipal
tax sale known as the No Cash Bid in 2018 and 2025 respectively. These two parcels are located
directly west of the Village’s Public Works Facility, located at 198th Street and Central Park Avenue.
OBE Studios, owned by Barry Brewer Jr., is interested in moving his studio location from Merrillville,
Indiana to Flossmoor, Illinois. In working with Mr. Brewer, these two parcels have been identified to
build the eastern campus of OBE Studios. Phase 1 of the campus will include three buildings which
will include an administration/production building, a soundstage, and a millhouse as well as all
internal roadways to support this first phase (referred to as the Project). Mr. Brewer has a vision to
expand to include a western campus in the future. Attached is a concept plan.
The Board was receptive to the plan and directed the Village Attorney and staff to construct a
development agreement for the Board's consideration. The attached agreement has been drafted
and agreed to by OBE Studios. Highlights of the agreement include:
• A timeline by which OBE Studios has to submit plans, prove financing and receive plan and
permit approvals by September 30, 2026. During such time, the Village will not be marketing
the property to any other developers. Once OBE Studios has permits for construction they
have one year to complete the Project.
• The Village agrees to convey the land to OBE Studios once they receive their permits. OBE
Studios will provide a $100,000 performance bond or letter to credit as security for the
construction and completion of the project. The bond or letter of credit will be released upon
receiving an occupancy permit.
• The Village agrees to support a Class 8 tax abatement, and OBE Studios agrees to a Make
Whole Agreement on the Village’s portion of their tax bill, understanding that OBE Studios
will receive Village services.
• OBE Studios reserves the right to terminate the agreement prior to the commencement of
construction, in the event of circumstances beyond its reasonable control that materially
impact the feasibility or viability of the project, including but not limited to: (a) unforeseen
environmental conditions or hazards; (b) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (c)
inability to secure necessary permits, approvals, or financing related to unforeseen cost
overruns; or (d) other force majeure events as defined in Section 7.4. In the event of such
termination, OBE Studio’s liability is limited to reimbursement of any non-refundable, third-
party costs directly incurred by the Village up to the date of termination, not to exceed
$3,000.00. This is a reasonable provision; if the development cannot move forward, we want
to terminate the agreement as soon as possible so that the Village can continue to identify
and work with a developer who can bring a project to fruition.
Page 47 of 85
• Should the developer default on any obligation in the contract, the developer will have 30
days to correct upon written notice. Those 30 days may be extended if 30 days is not
reasonable to cure the default, and if the developer has taken measures to begin to correct
the default. Should the developer not remedy the default and all other measures have been
exhausted, the security of $100,000 shall become immediately due and payable to the
Village to restore the property.
The attached ordinance directs the Mayor and Clerk to sign the agreement and the Village Attorney
and Village Manager to implement provisions of the agreement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Nelson and Board of Trustees
CC:
FROM: Bridget Wachtel, Village Manager
DATE: January 20, 2026
RE: FY26 Mid-Year Review
Attached for your information is the mid-year financial review for the Fiscal Year May 1, 2025,
through April 30, 2026. The Village of Flossmoor’s annual operating budget serves as the
primary planning and financial tool to accomplish the many objectives, policies and programs as
set by the Village Board.
With approximately half of the fiscal year underway and prior to the discussion of the Fiscal
Year 2027 budget, staff is presenting to the Village Board a review of the current fiscal year.
The purpose of the mid-year financial review is twofold. First, staff has analyzed the revenues
and expenditures to date and projected, to the best of our abilities, how we expect those
figures to trend for the remaining six months of the current year’s budget. We will provide the
Village Board a brief analysis of the cause of these variances, either in savings or shortfall, for
the remainder of the fiscal year. The mid-year financial review is limited in scope to the analysis
of the General Fund and the Water and Sewer Fund, the two largest operating funds in the
Village.
The second purpose of our mid-year financial review is to provide the Village Board a brief
update on our progress with the current Fiscal Year's major goals and solicit input from the
Village Board on priority goals and objectives for the next Fiscal Year. Attached are reports from
each department focusing on major objectives and issues in Fiscal Year 2026.
Financial management exercises, such as the mid-year financial review, are vital to an agency’s
ability to assess its financial performance and respond accordingly. National events such as the
Great Recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, record-setting inflation, and more local issues, such
as the threat of the loss of state-shared revenues and changes in our local economy, support
the pragmatic need for this exercise. The Village undertakes this study and others to formulate
short- and long-term plans to mitigate any financial instability, and, over the years, has taken
various actions to respond to changing financial conditions.
Further, analysis such as the mid-year financial review has benefited the Village during bond
rating reviews. Over the last fifteen years, the Village’s bond rating review has been reviewed
five different times in conjunction with either debt issuances or refunding of debt. In each of
those reviews the Village’s AA+ rating reflected, among other factors, “strong financial
operations, maintenance of large fund balances and moderate debt burden.” Among the
Page 68 of 85
Village’s financial management practices, the rating agency looked favorably upon the Village’s
mid-year budget review in each rating review.
General Fund Summary
When the budget was approved in April 2025, staff anticipated an additional $896,070 in
operating revenues compared to the previous year’s budget. The budgeted growth in revenues
was in large part due to the property taxes, state income tax, ambulance and special fire service
fees, sales tax and non-home rule sales tax, the local use tax, and interest income in an
inflationary market. New revenue impacting the Fiscal Year 2026 budget included the casino
tax, business registration fees and contractor registration fees. The 2024 levy took the approach
of maximizing the levy by including CPI increases, which were capped at 3.6%, and very little
new property increment. The only new economic development projects were Dunkin Donuts,
Rainbow Cone, and Oasis Refuge.
In combination with a growth in expenditures, the net operating position in Fiscal Year 2026
was budgeted to fall by $1,454,159. In addition to rising personnel costs, there were several
expenditures that were budgeted in Fiscal Year 2026 greater than what was budgeted in Fiscal
Year 2025, one of the most notable being the annual contribution to the Police and Fire
Pensions. Other expenses greater in Fiscal Year 2026 compared to Fiscal Year 2025 include
health insurance and other various fringe benefits, followed by an increase in the Fire
Department contract personnel and various IT subscription costs in police. The Fiscal Year 2026
budget reflects more realistic budgeted expenses for police overtime, building maintenance,
and supply costs based on recent years’ actual expenses. Finally, the General Fund’s
contribution to the Capital Fund increased and several operating costs not expensed and
received in Fiscal Year 2025 were carried over to Fiscal Year 2026. A review of the Fiscal Year
2026 budget transmittal letter will provide the reader with additional information on these
revenue and expenditure variances at the time of budget preparation.
In preparing the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, the Village projected the use of $3,194,057 in fund
balance to support the General Fund, $1,739,898 of which is attributable to capital and one-
time non-operating projects (approximately $1.4M of which were projects carried over from
Fiscal Year 2025 to Fiscal Year 2026). Notably, $2,492,018 in grant monies were also carried
over to the new fiscal year. The most significant project not associated with grant
reimbursements is the establishment of a document management system and scanning
historical Village records into the system. Other significant one-time projects allocated to the
General Fund include a contract with the Retail Coach, demolition of 3648 198th Street, various
facility improvements to address safety and modern functionality, and a small contribution
from the General Fund to the first phase of the Water System Improvements – a new SCADA
system. Significant capital improvement projects funded in whole or in part by federal and
state grants include the Flossmoor Road Viaduct Drainage Improvements, the Central Business
District Roadway, Pedestrian and Streetscape Improvements and the Dartmouth Pedestrian
Bridge Replacement and Streambank Stabilization Project.
Page 69 of 85
As of December, when this review was compiled, $122,000 in revenue amendments and
$16,080 in amendments to expenses have been approved. The additional revenue is grants
attributable to the second award of the Illinois State’s Attorney Retail Theft grant to support
cameras in retail areas and the IDOT police overtime grant to support additional enforcement
activity. The amendment associated with General Fund expenditures was for cloud storage.
Therefore, with budget amendments, the budgeted use of fund balance is $3,088,137.
The mid-year analysis reveals that total net revenues are trending over pace compared to
budget in the amount of $602,504. A closer look reveals that the Village anticipates receiving a
combined $1,085,000 in sales tax, non-home rule sales tax and State income tax; three of the
most significant non-property tax revenues impacting our budgets are expected to realize
significant increases by year end in the amount of $500,000, $290,000 and $295,000
respectively. Next, the Village is anticipating an additional $550,000 in ambulance revenues
which is attributable to an increased call volume as well as a delay in the State recouping its
50% of the GMET funded calls. New this year, the shared casino tax for Wind Creek Casino is
performing better than expected with an additional $60,000 anticipated by year end.
Of the $637,000 in operating revenues trending less than the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, utility
taxes are projected to be $37,000 less than budgeted due to a warm spring and fall. A change
in the IDOR calculation of the Local Use Tax is anticipated to impact our revenues with a loss of
$300,000 by fiscal year end. Finally, and most notably, a projected decline in property tax
revenue is anticipated by fiscal year in the amount of $300,000, in large part due to the delay of
the second installment tax bills and to a lesser extent the 2024 extension is less than the 2024
levy. The reader should note that this analysis was completed in November and December
based on the first six months of the fiscal year (May through October); there has been
unfathomable developments with the receipt of property tax revenues since December that
has the potential to significantly impact our fiscal year end. Although not part of this study, this
issue will be addressed later in this report.
While some expenditures are trending over budget as detailed on the spreadsheets, the net
impact is that total expenditures are trending under budget in the amount of $477,203. Of the
$1,042,230 expenses under budget, $830,614 are associated with delayed capital non-
operating expenses, specifically the Dartmouth Pedestrian Bridge Replacement and Streambank
Stabilization Project, construction observation associated with Phases 4 and 5 of the Flossmoor
Road Viaduct Project and building improvements at Village Hall in the Building and Police
Departments. As noted above, $593,600 less in grant revenue will be recognized to offset this
work. Additionally, nearly $113,000 in savings in personnel expenses are projected by fiscal
year end due to vacancies in Public Works and Building as well as anticipation of less specialty
pay expended in the Fire Department. Finally, of the larger variances noted, the General Fund’s
contribution toward the annual street resurfacing program is anticipated to be approximately
$40,000 less than budgeted.
Page 70 of 85
Expenses trending over budget total an estimated $565,027 by fiscal year-end. One of the most
significant expenses trending over budget is police overtime at $264,080, mostly attributable to
filling three officer vacancies and additional special details through the high school and the
IDOT grant (both of which will be reimbursable). Overtime in public safety records and public
works is also projected to be over budget by approximately $31,271 due to medical coverage
and covering employees’ use of benefit time. A few fringe benefits are anticipated to be more
than budget by fiscal year end, most notably IMRF which reflects actual staffing and a larger
than anticipated increase in our rate effective January 1. Two expenses projected to be over
budget by fiscal year end are offset by grants totaling $60,487: cameras to investigate retail
theft and pedestrian crosswalk flashers. Finally, the age of the Municipal Complex has
impacted our maintenance budgets over the year; this year, plumbing repairs are anticipated to
be approximately $15,000 more than budgeted.
General Fund Conclusion
The impact of this analysis is that the projected total fund budgeted deficit is reduced by
$1,079,707, bringing the anticipated total fund budgeted deficit to $2,008,430, which is an
improvement compared to the original budgeted amount of $3,088,137 use of fund balance,
inclusive of amendments. A large component of this projected total fund savings is attributable
to the deferral, timing and accounting of capital and non-operating costs budgeted for Fiscal
Year 2026. The General Fund balance was budgeted to be $4,838,087, compared to a projected
April 2026 fund balance of $5,917,794 as of the conclusion of this exercise. A review of the
operating component shows that while we budgeted the use of $1,454,159 in fund balance to
support daily operations, the mid-year review is projecting the use of $581,979. In short, the
significant projected additional revenue combined with a small expenditure savings in
operations is providing some short-term relief, and while there is adequate fund balance to
address this projected use of fund balance in the short-term if its needed; long-term, a
continued use of fund balance to support operations is not sustainable.
Revenue analysis including identifying new revenue sources to support current operations has
been an important strategy in being able to sustain services. These items include business
registration and contractor registration fees which is estimated to contribute $45,000 annually,
the shared casino tax which is outperforming the budget at a total of approximately $140,000,
and the property tax and sales tax associated with economic development such as 7-Brew and
Chipotle. Additional economic development, which will bring property tax and sales tax
growth, will also have a positive impact on the operating budget.
At the time of the Five-Year Analysis, the Board directed staff to return with a discussion on a
Places for Eating Tax which is estimated to generate $525,000 (3%). For illustrative purposes,
for every $10 spent, the customer would pay an additional $0.30. On a $100 bill, the impact is
$3. Similar to the non-home rule sales tax, the places-for-eating tax would be spread across
residents and non-residents who frequent our eating establishments. Keep in mind that,
Page 71 of 85
according to statistics shared during the 2018 non-home rule sales referendum, because
shoppers come from a retail trade area bigger than Flossmoor, 92% of the total tax revenue will
be paid by non-resident shoppers. The anticipated $175,000 per 1% is based on the restaurants
currently in business in the Village today; it does not include Chipotle or any future restaurants
or places for eating establishments. An additional discussion on this revenue source is planned
during the budget discussions.
New Developments in Property Tax Receipts
Continuing to diversify the Village’s revenue sources could not be a more appropriately timed
discussion considering the situation with Cook County and its failure to remit property tax
receipts to its downstream agencies. To date, Cook County has remitted roughly $683,000
($458,000 associated with the second installment bills due December 15) of property tax
revenue in Fiscal Year 2026. For reference, the second installment should generate
approximately $3.5 million for the Village of Flossmoor. The delay is due in large part to Cook
County undergoing a financial systems migration to Tyler Technologies for the past ten
years. We have learned that they are migrating from very old mainframe systems, and the
conversion has not gone well. Systems aren’t talking to each other, various staff have retired,
and fixes are slow. You may recall that a few years ago there was an issue with getting the tax
bills out for similar reasons; the treasurer’s office system wasn’t able to communicate with the
assessor’s office. At the time, a workaround made it work, but we understand that now that is
no longer an option.
This situation has become grave for those communities heavily dependent upon property tax
revenue like Flossmoor. There is no end in sight and communication is lacking. Villages like
Flossmoor have slowed down, delayed paying bills, communicated with vendors about the
same, disinvested investments and dipped into reserves to boost available cash. We have lost
interest income in a good interest income market, not only from the investments not re-
invested but from the monies sitting in county accounts and not local accounts.
The impact on cash flow will continue into the spring with an already State-approved delay in
the first installment for 2026 with the State legislature approving an extension to April to
permit County to get the next bills out. At best, those monies will not be received by the Village
of Flossmoor until May 2026 which is Fiscal Year 2027; typically, a bulk of those funds would
have been received prior to fiscal year end.
In addition to the challenges of cash flow to support daily operations, more long-term Village
operations are now impacted. Our immediate recourse was to slow down and then halt capital
equipment expenditures and capital project work. This delay is at the point at which the
Village’s Capital Equipment Schedule will be impacted, and the Finance and Facilities Plan
(capital infrastructure) may be impacted.
Page 72 of 85
Speaking with peers in communities that have a diverse retail base, the immediate impact on
operations has been far less. The Board should heed this warning to continue to look for
opportunities to support operations with diverse revenues, the cost of which is ideally shared
by non-residents.
The Mid-Year Review was completed by December 15, and this lengthy delay in property tax
revenue was not anticipated. There is the possibility that the Village will receive less than a
$1M in property tax receipts before fiscal year end. As Staff submitted the Preliminary 2027
budget mid-January, they were challenged with the Fiscal Year 2026 projections including
adjustments to the Capital Equipment Schedule.
Water and Sewer Fund Summary
The Water and Sewer Fund’s budgeted balance as of April 30, 2026, is $1,880,923. The net
operating position was budgeted with a surplus of $527,323 and a total fund budgeted deficit
of $613,238. Given the improved financial health of the fund, two capital projects were
allocated to the fund in Fiscal Year 2026: the majority of the Phase 1 water supply
improvements, which is the upgraded SCADA system, and the relocation of the sanitary sewer
in the Central Business District. The fund started the fiscal year with approximately $2.4 million
in fund balance; this year snapshot shows that at the time of the budget adoption, the fund is
withdrawing more funds for capital improvements than it is savings. After the mid-year
review, the Water and Sewer Fund is expected to close the fiscal year with a positive fund
balance of $1,741,475 as of April 30, 2026. The net operating surplus is projected to remain
unchanged, and the projected total fund is anticipated to increase to $752,686.
The health of the Water and Sewer Fund is largely dependent upon the purchase cost of water
and water sales. The successful passage of a water supply contract with Homewood for
Hammond/Chicago Heights water has brought certainty for the Village for the next 25 years
with respect to the supply rate cost increases as that contract defines the increase to CPI and
caps the increase to 3%. Additionally, in the fall of 2023, the Village entered into a service
contract to replace approximately 2,600 small meters to the new style Sensus iPERL meter and
convert the entire inventory to a radio read system. The project was substantially completed
by September of 2024, although staff continues to work with our vendors to clean up
miscellaneous issues with meters and the radio reads. In addition, staff has identified 34 large
meters that are nearing the end of their useful life due to the batteries in the registrar. Staff is
moving forward with a project that will rebuild the internal parts of these meters more cost
efficiently than replacing the whole meter.
Flossmoor is using existing infrastructure through Homewood to receive the new water supply
but will need to make improvements at the pumping stations, reservoir and booster stations as
needed. The preliminary cost of these improvements is about $1.68M, a cost which should
decrease as terms favorable to Flossmoor were negotiated in the Homewood/Flossmoor
agreement. The first phase of the project, SCADA system improvements, began in Fiscal Year
2025 and is a part of the drawn down of fund balance described above.
Page 73 of 85
At the time of the mid-year analysis, the sharp increase in the water and sewer sales revenue
that we experienced at the time of budget preparation was no longer keeping pace. The net
impact on Fiscal Year 2026 revenues is an anticipated decrease of $90,800 in revenue
compared to budget; however, interestingly, offsetting sale revenue is a significant increase in
penalty revenue. Regarding anticipating expenses at year end, staff projects a $63,290 overage
in the cost of supply pumpage from Homewood. At a $1.5M expense, this variance is still
considered relatively flat. Finally, keep in mind that during the annual discussion on the rate
increase for Fiscal Year 2026 last April, the Board understandably passed a simple “pass-
through” rate increase that only accounted for the cost of the supply increase from Homewood
not knowing the full impact of the new meters. This minimal rate increase is also a factor in the
fund’s position overall.
While the Village experienced performance improvements in the Water and Sewer Fund after
the repairs of the Vollmer Reservoir and the water main improvements that resulted in the
purchased-to-bill ratio reaching approximately 80% in 2018, performance has since declined to
79% for calendar year 2024 and has held steady in calendar year 2025. The full impact of the
new meters is still to be determined. Staff is still working with our vendors on miscellaneous
issues that until fixed, require us to estimate a bill for those accounts. The meters are smart
meters which provide staff and the customer additional timely insight into usage patterns,
including the potential for leaks. After working with customers who initially saw much higher
bills, staff believes that customers’ behavior changed to save money in this inflationary market.
Looking at the increased penalty revenue supports moving to monthly billing, which is a goal for
staff this calendar year. We believe we will improve our collection rate and therefore, our cash
flow, as well as identify any meter issues much sooner than once every three months.
We have previously discussed that the fund cannot be self-sustaining without an accumulated
fund balance to support capital improvements. With the exception of the bond issue
funded by the water main improvement program, up until now, the Water and Sewer Fund’s
net capital assets have generally declined, thereby affecting the fund’s ability to keep pace with
needed capital replacement and investment. The result has been additional financial pressure
on the General Fund to finance “must-do” or mandatory capital projects. Over the past 4 years,
the fund balance has improved by $1.4 million, instilling confidence in moving the cost of
capital improvements like the SCADA system, the CBD sanitary sewer relocation and a partial
cost of the small meters over to this fund. Staff will continue to monitor the performance of
this fund closely.
Summary
Many external factors have impacted the Village’s budget and operations over the years,
including the economy, real estate values, global events, inflation, supply chain issues and new
this year – the withholding of the property tax receipts by Cook County. These financial
stresses are in addition to the following: the State’s legislative decisions have had/and
will continue to have detrimental impacts on our budget; the budgetary impact of personnel
and personnel turnover remains significant; the ability to continue to pay for capital projects
Page 74 of 85
through our save-then-spend program; the availability (or unavailability) of grant funds and the
number of competing large-scale infrastructure project priorities is only compounding the
financial strains.
When necessary – and now is one of those times - the Village has scaled back its capital
planning during challenging economic times and concerns about long-range finances. Over the
last several years, the Village has been very successful in obtaining regional, state and federal
grants to support these projects, and as predicted earlier last year, these opportunities are
diminishing. In addition, the Village will continue to be challenged by an environment of
increasing expenditures and not only stagnant, or declining, but also limited revenue. The
opportunity that the anticipated development in southwest Flossmoor provides is valuable.
The current situation with Cook County’s withholding of property tax receipts is
unprecedented. The preparation of the Fiscal Year 2027 budget is challenging, and depending
upon how this situation progresses, we may not have clarity until well into next fiscal year.
That said, the Village Board should be pleased with the steadfast care with which various
budget managers undertake their fiduciary responsibilities. The Village has cultivated an
atmosphere of conservative spending, an aggressive pursuit of grants, and the highest degree
of accountability and trust with the public’s funds. As a result, the Village has been able to
manage this difficult time – like previous times such as the Great Recession – with little
disruption to operations and services without borrowing.
The Village should be proud of its many accomplishments to date this fiscal year and its prudent
management of the public’s funds and resources. Please take the time to read the
departments’ reports. Staff looks forward to completing Fiscal Year 2026 with a continued
emphasis on strong financial management.

Construction
Projected Budget: $2,098,058 ($913,602 General Fund) – This project is the Phase 3 Construction and
Construction Engineering of the CBD Streetscape Project. The Village received an IDOT ITEP grant in the
amount of $1,184,456 for the Phase 3 Construction and Construction Engineering that will offset a portion
of this phase of the project. The project was substantially completed this past summer and will be fully
complete by the spring of 2026.
Water Supply System Improvements – Phase 1 Construction
Project Budget: $680,561 (Water & Sewer Fund) – This project is the first phase of the Water Supply
System Improvements program, and involves the construction/implementation of the Village’s water system
SCADA improvements and upgrades. The project is anticipated to start in FY26 and be completed in FY27.
Flossmoor Road Viaduct Drainage Improvements – Phase 3 Construction
Projected Budget: $1,758,536 (General Fund and 2021 Streets and Storm Sewer Improvement Fund) –
The Phase 3 project included the installation of the 84” storm sewer on Lawrence Crescent, from the
Heather Hill Detention Basin to Maryland Avenue. The project was offset by $1.5M in DCEO grants, and
was completed this past summer.
Dartmouth Bike Bridge Replacement Project – Engineering and Construction
Projected Budget: $690,800 (General Fund) – This project includes the design engineering and construction
for the Dartmouth Road Bike Bridge bank stabilization of Butterfield Creek. The Village was awarded an
IEPA Section 319 Grant for the bank stabilization work on the project in the amount of $111,600 which will
help offset a portion of the total project cost. The project engineering has begun and construction is
anticipated in FY27.
Flossmoor Road Sanitary Sewer Relocation – Construction
Project Budget: $422,423 (Water & Sewer Fund) – This project included the relocation of the public 15”
sanitary sewer that ran under the Civic Center Building from the public alley to the west and out to Sterling
Avenue. The project relocated the sanitary sewer to run west down the alley and south across the east
side of the vacant land in a public utility easement, adjacent to 2609 Flossmoor Road, and out to Flossmoor
Road. The project was completed this fall.
FISCAL YEAR 2027 GOALS
Flossmoor Road Viaduct Drainage Improvements – Phase 4 Construction
Projected Budget: $1,134,000 (2021 Streets and Storm Sewer Improvement Fund) – The Phase 4 project
includes the installation of the 72” storm sewer on Sterling Avenue, from Maryland Avenue to approximately
450 feet north. This project is partially funded by the USACE Section 219 Grant program in the amount of
$750,000. The project will be bid this fall by the USACE and project construction should be completed in
the summer of 2026.
Flossmoor Road Viaduct Drainage Improvements – Phase 5 Construction

Projected Budget: $1,125,000 (Water & Sewer Fund*) – This program includes the replacement of an
estimated 400 lead water service lines or galvanized service lines requiring replacement in the Village as
required by the IEPA and the USEPA at a total estimated cost of $4.5M. The program will begin in 2027
and is estimated to be completed as a phased program over four years pending available funding (100
services per year). At a minimum, the Village will need to replace 40 service lines per year over a 10 year
period ($450,000 annually) to be in compliance with the IEPA requirements. The project will also include
the design engineering and construction engineering to manage the project. *Project is contingent on
receiving grant funding to support the project at this proposed annual cost level. If grant funding
is not received, the project will be completed over 10 years using local funding.
Public Works Salt Storage Building Reconstruction
Projected Budget: $200,000 (General Fund) – This project includes the reconstruction of the Public Works
Salt Storage Building, located at the Public Works Service Center. The existing pre-cast concrete salt
storage building is 29 years old and is showing its age and deterioration from salt corrosion and heavy use.
Staff is investigating other alternatives for the reconstruction of the building that will be both cost effective
and long lasting.

SUBJECT: Building Department: FY26 Mid-Year Goals and Objectives
The Building Department has again had a busy year with the day-to-day operations necessary to
meet the property needs of our Village. Two new single-family homes are currently under
construction. In addition, there has also been a significant number of interior and exterior
renovations to both residential and commercial properties throughout the Village with 624 permits
being issued to date since the start of the fiscal year with a construction value totaling an estimated
$17,253,583. Since the start of the fiscal year there have been 532 inspections conducted.
Property maintenance inspection staff have been aggressive in their enforcement of the property
maintenance codes and taking cases to adjudication where property owners have failed to abate
violations following reasonable warning periods. 404 warning notices have been issued since the
beginning of the fiscal year, 128 of which resulted in citations being issued for non-compliance.
Staff is continuing with the review process of the 2024 International Codes and expects to submit
for adoption prior to the end of FY26.
Building Department staff is also hopeful that the ongoing discussions with several different
developers will result in spring construction projects of both commercial and residential
developments in 2026 including Chipotle and 7 Brew in the Meijer Subdivision which is
anticipated to obtain approvals and permitting this winter with an estimated occupancy in the fall
of 2026.

FISCAL YEAR 2026 ACHIEVEMENTS
Staffing: Despite nationwide shortages affecting all fire service models; career, combination, and
volunteer, we successfully maintained daily staffing through strategic use of our part-time and intern
programs. These programs continue to be essential in meeting our operational goal of five personnel
per day. Additionally, the village and FD made necessary salary adjustments for full-time contract
personnel (PSI) to maintain existing personnel and attract qualified candidates.
We continue evaluating alternative staffing models and recruitment strategies to strengthen the
department’s long-term sustainability while maintaining fiscal responsibility. These efforts position us to
better meet community needs and prepare for future growth and service demands.
Capital: To capitalize on the strong used apparatus market, Engine 19 was sold, and the specifications
for its replacement engine are now in the final stages of completion. In addition, Brush 19 was sold, and
a new UTV 19 has been purchased and is currently in the process of being placed into service. These
strategic fleet adjustments will better align apparatus capabilities with community needs while reducing
maintenance costs.
As part of the ECOM/SouthCom consolidation and the transition to the Cook County 800 MHz radio
system, the mobile radios have been delivered and are currently being installed. The portable radios are
at ECOM for final programming, and the initial test phase of the 800 MHz system is scheduled to begin
on November 17th. This transition will enhance communication reliability and reduce long-term
infrastructure costs.
Additionally, the vehicle stabilization equipment for Squad 19 has been fully specified and will be
ordered once authorized by the Finance Department. The purchase of replacement rescue tool batteries
is also pending financial approval. These equipment upgrades continue to support the department’s
move toward safer, more efficient, and cost-effective battery-powered tools.
Community Risk Reduction: The Fire Department completed multiple public engagement and
community risk reduction activities. Staff participated in several community events, including
neighborhood block parties, school visits, and fire station tours. The department also hosted CPR and
certified babysitter classes and assisted in facilitating the Hidden GEM Half Marathon.
Looking ahead, the department plans to expand its public education programs, including additional CPR
and first aid classes, and implement a community smoke detector initiative. These efforts support our
ongoing commitment to building a safer community and strengthening relationships with residents.

DATE: November 18, 2025
SUBJECT: FY26 Mid-Year
The Police Department continues to strengthen its relationships and partnerships with community
stakeholders through active participation in community meetings, neighborhood events, and ongoing
communication efforts. In addition, we remain committed to providing safety information and
educational tips to residents through our online platforms, helping to ensure that community members
stay informed and engaged in public safety efforts.
The department has recently reached its authorized maximum staffing level of 21 officers. However, we
anticipate the retirement of one officer during the FY2026 period. To ensure seamless operations and
maintain the maximum staffing level, we plan to hire ahead of the anticipated retirement date. This
proactive approach will support a smooth transition and prevent staffing gaps that could impact
services.
Regarding our vehicle fleet, the department successfully purchased three replacement vehicles for this
fiscal year. The department purchased an admin vehicle for the command staff and two squad cars for
patrol, due to an unexpected accident involving a squad car, an additional vehicle purchase became
necessary. Both squad cars have now been acquired and are currently in the process of being outfitted,
with completion expected within the next few weeks. The admin vehicle has been ordered and should
arrive before the end of the year.
We have also continued to identify and plan improvements for the department’s firearms range. To
ensure that these upgrades meet professional standards, we have retained a licensed architect and
engineer to guide the design and development process. The department intends on beginning changes
and approvements as soon as the best options are available with the anticipated completion taking
place in the first half of 2026. Additionally, as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and
modern policing practices, the department has completed the purchase of body-worn cameras and in-
car video systems from Axon Corporation, as outlined in our fiscal year 2026 goals.
These updates reflect the department’s continued focus on community engagement, operational
readiness, and strategic planning to support the safety and well-being of the Village.
Looking ahead, the department will explore twelve hour shifts, participate in more community events
and increase the number of special details such as bike and walking details.
