6. PUBLIC HEARING ON CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED VILLAGE OF LAKE
ZURICH ANNUAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 (Mayor Poynton)
Summary: As noticed in the Daily Herald on November 23, 2022 and on the Village
website and in Benchmarks, this is a public hearing for the proposed annual budget
for the Village of Lake Zurich’s 2023 fiscal year, which will run January 1 through
December 31, 2023. The proposed budget totals $73.98 million to fund a full-service
municipality with 163 full-time employees at Police and Fire, Public Works,
Community Development, Parks and Recreation, Finance, and Administration.
The Village enjoys a stable financial position and as such, this budget is presented as
a balanced operational plan for the next year with a projected operating surplus of
almost $8,000 for the General Fund. The 2023 budget includes $11.15 million in
2
funding for road and related infrastructure improvements, along with another $3.55
million in land and building capital improvements and $5.15 million in water and
sewer-related improvements. The 2023 budget also includes about $864,000 in vehicle
and major equipment purchases for public safety and public works personnel.
The proposed 2023 budget totals $73.98 million for all expenditures. Due to rising
market costs for commodities and services, personnel adjustments, and funding for
additional capital, this is a 20.7% increase from the 2022 budget. Total revenues and
other financing sources for 2023 are budgeted to be at $59.64 million, an increase of
2.4% over the 2022 budget.
A copy of the proposed budget has been available for public review at Village Hall, Ela
Area Public Library, and on the Village website since November 11, 2022. All
interested persons are invited to attend this public hearing and provide feedback to
the Village Board on the proposed budget.
Recommended Action #1: A motion to open the Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year
2023 Village Budget and receive into the record public comments. Voice Vote.
Recommended Action #2: A motion to close the Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year
2023 Village Budget. Voice Vote.
7. CONSENT AGENDA
(These titles will be read by the Village Clerk and approved by a single Roll Call Vote.
Any item may be pulled from the Consent Agenda for discussion by any member of
the Board).
A. Approval of Minutes of the Village Board Meeting, November 21, 2022
B. Approval of Semi-Monthly Warrant Register Dated December 5, 2022 Totaling
$1,351,943.69
C. Resolution Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement for Participation in
the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System Master Agreement 2022 (Reso #2022-12-
071)
Summary: The original Mutual Aid Box Alarm Systems (MABAS) agreement
was adopted in the late 1960’s and amended once in 2014 to address FEMA
reimbursements. The framework for the MABAS structure allows fire service
agencies to request and obtain resources for incidents that are of a size,
complexity or length that exceeds the ability of any single fire service.
With the growth and evolution of the MABAS structure to now include over
2,600 departments in six states, along with several other factors outlined in the
attached staff memo, MABAS governing bodies recommend an update to the
Master Agreement.
D. Ordinance Approving the Alpha Tekniko Second Re-subdivision at 1400 Rose
Road (Ordinance #2022-12-488)
3
Summary: Premier Design + Build Group has filed an application on behalf of
Alpha Tekniko for a Second Re-subdivision of the Alpha Tekniko Plat of
Consolidation. The purpose of this second re-subdivision is to convey an
approximately 1,400 square-foot triangular sliver of land from Lot 5 over to the
lots owned and controlled by Alpha Tekniko to allow for access to their property
at 1400 Rose Road.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented.

During the October 3, 2022 Village Board meeting, Trustees voted to continue

Corporate Purposes for the Fiscal Year Commencing January 1, 2023 and
Ending December 31, 2023 (Ordinance #2022-12-489) (Trustee Sprawka)
Summary: At the November 16, 2022 Committee of the Whole budget
workshop meeting, Mayor Poynton and Trustees reviewed with Village Staff
the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2023, which begins January 1.
The Fiscal Year 2023 budget is presented as a balanced operational plan for
the next year with a projected operating surplus of almost $8,000 for the
Village General Fund. Expenditures in the General Fund next year are
expected to total $33.52 million, ending 2023 with a 35% fund balance.
4
The 2023 budget includes a reduction of the Village’s bond debt by $3.6 million.
Ten years ago, in 2012, this bonded debt level was at $36.4 million. At the end
of next year, this total debt is projected to be $20.67 million. An impressive
reduction of 43% over a decade. This is a significant accomplishment that
allows for AAA bond ratings and lower interest rates for tax payers.
Among all Village Funds, the 2023 budget totals $73.9 million to fund a full-
service municipality with 163 full-time employees. This budget blueprint was
created with an eye on sustaining multi-year progress towards strategic goals
and includes $19.8 million in infrastructure improvements and major
equipment replacements for public safety and public works services.
Recommended Action: A motion to approve Ordinance #2022-12-489 Adopting
the Annual Budget of the Village of Lake Zurich for All Corporate Purposes for
the Fiscal Year Commencing January 1, 2023 and Ending December 31, 2023.
