March 9, 2026
TO: Mayor Patrick Ludvigsen, Members of the City Council, Administration, and Staff
FROM: Cheri Grieco, Finance Director
RE: FY2026–2027 City of Prospect Heights Proposed General Fund Budget Draft
Overview
This year’s FY2027 budget process began with the City’s Strategic Planning meeting in January and continued with an in-
depth review of the proposed budgets for all City funds by department Directors and Managers. Staff reviewed all revenue
and expenditure items, considering current financial conditions and maintaining a conservative approach due to ongoing
national economic uncertainty.
The General Fund budget presentation on Monday, March 9, 2026, will include a review of the following areas:
• General Fund Revenues
• General Fund Department Budgets, including:
• City Council
• Administration
• Finance & Legal
• Building & Zoning
• Public Works
• Public Safety
• Police Pension Contribution
FY26 Financial Highlights
To summarize the projected results for FY26, the City experienced several significant budget variances that are
anticipated to result in a projected surplus of $2.2 million, compared to the FY26 approved net budget surplus of $943k.
This variance is primarily attributable to Non-Home Rule Sales Tax and Income Tax revenues exceeding budget by
approximately $500k, along with a $750k payment from Sky Harbour, coupled with conservative spending across all
departments.

FY27 Proposed Budget Highlights
Police Pension Contribution
The actuarially recommended annual contribution of $1,617,596 has been fully funded in the FY27 proposed budget. This
includes projected tax levy receipts of $517,000 and a General Fund contribution of $1,100,596.
Building & Zoning
• Billable Engineering Revenue – $30k
Public Works
• Proposed addition of one Public Works employee – $100k
Police Department
• Proposed addition of one Police Officer – $135k
Administration & Finance
• Consulting fees – $13k
• New Vehicle Sticker software program – First year: $18k, Second year $8,500
General Fund – Major Revenue Items
Income Tax
The City experienced continued strong collections during FY26, which are in line with budget expectations. After a
conservative FY26 budget, the FY27 budget reflects a slight decrease, as the Illinois Municipal League (IML) projects a
0.2% decrease in Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) revenue.
Sales Tax
Following increased sales tax revenue in FY26 due to the revised calculation of Use Tax, FY26 revenue is projected to
exceed the budget. FY27 revenues are expected to remain consistent with FY26 levels.
Non-Home Rule Sales Tax (NHR) and Use Tax
For FY26, Use Tax revenue is projected to come in lower than budget due to changes in how the tax is calculated. The
FY27 Use Tax budget reflects a more accurate estimate based on the revised calculation. Non-Home Rule Sales Tax
revenues are budgeted closer to the projected FY26 revenue levels.

Places of Eating Tax
The FY27 proposed budget of $400k is consistent with prior year receipt trends.
Video Gaming Tax
Projected FY26 receipts are estimated at $320k. The FY27 proposed budget includes a slight increase to $330k.
Vehicle Stickers
Resident compliance with the City’s vehicle sticker requirement has increased significantly over the past several years due
to enhanced monitoring and collection efforts. As of January 2026, prior to new sticker sales, $117k was collected from
prior-year stickers and late fees, along with new registrations from previously non-compliant vehicles. The proposed
FY27 budget of $831k includes vehicles identified during FY26 compliance efforts as well as projected late fees.
Building Permits
The FY27 proposed budget of $340k represents an increase from the FY26 budget due to the addition of Fire Prevention
permitting.
General Fund – Major Expenditure Items
Department Budgets
Individual departmental budgets remain largely consistent, with slight increases primarily due to cost-of-living
adjustments and salary increases. The only notable changes include the addition of a Police Officer in Public Safety and a
new Public Works employee.

Interfund Transfers
The FY27 proposed budget includes three interfund transfers from the General Fund:
• $115k annual transfer to the Parking Fund to support FY27 operations
• $1MM transfer to fund future capital improvement projects

Re: Proposal for Construction Engineering Services
Hillcrest Lake Outfall Improvements Project
GHA Proposal No. 2026.CS023
Dear Mr. Falcone:
Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., (GHA) is pleased to submit our proposal to assist the City of
Prospect Heights (the City) with constructions engineering services for the Hillcrest Lake Outfall
Improvements Project. The project includes construction of a 24” RCP storm sewer to serve as a
secondary outlet for Hillcrest Lake to reduce reliance on the existing lake outlet located on
private property.
Scope of Services
The scope of services consists of providing construction engineering services for the proposed
drainage improvements. The work required consists of the following primary tasks, detailed
below:
1. Construction Engineering and Observation Services
GHA will serve as the City’s representative in the field on the construction project.
GHA will coordinate and attend one (1) pre-construction meeting for the project.
GHA will provide construction management to include the following: Enforce the
contract and specification requirements, provide necessary contact to ensure
Contractor’s continued progress, prepare necessary contract change orders (when
authorized by the City), review contractor’s pay requests and provide
recommendations for payment.
Construction engineering and observation services will be as-needed from late March
to late May (approximately 6-8 weeks). Various staking and layout operations are
required prior to construction, while punchlist preparation and quantity/pay request
reviews extend beyond completion of construction operations.
GHA will maintain the project quantity book over the duration of construction.
GHA will maintain daily reports for the days that we are on-site and the weekly
summary report over the duration of the project.
GHA will assist the City staff with resident concerns/questions, as needed.
2. Project Closeout Documentation
GHA will prepare a project punch list at the completion of major construction
activities and will follow up with the contractor regarding its timely completion.

Page 23 of 63
Upon final completion, GHA will review the contractor’s final pay request and provide
recommendation for final payment.
Compensation for Services
For the above noted services, GHA proposes to complete the work on a time-and-material
(T&M) basis in accordance with our previously approved hourly rates. For budgeting purposes,
we propose a Not-to-Exceed budget of $49,800.00.
Reimbursable expenses, including items such as printing, messenger service, mileage, etc., will be
billed direct to the City of Prospect Heights without markup. We anticipate that reimbursable
expenses will be less than $500.00 for this project. Invoices will be submitted on a monthly basis
and will detail services performed.

direct or instruct the construction work in any regard. In no event shall GHA be liable for the acts or omissions of Client’s construction
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, fabricators, erectors, operators or suppliers, or any persons or entities performing any of the work,
or for failure of any of them to carry out their work as called for by the Construction Documents. The Client agrees that the Contractor is
solely responsible for jobsite and worker safety and warrants that this intent shall be included in the Client’s agreement with all prime
contractors. The Client agrees that GHA and GHA’s personnel and consultants (if any) shall be defended/indemnified by the Contractor for
all claims asserted against GHA which arise out of the Contractor’s or its subcontractors’ negligence, errors or omissions in the performance
of their work, and shall also be named as an additional insured on the Contractor’s and subcontractors’ general liability insurance policy.
Client warrants that this intent shall be included in the Client’s agreement with all prime contractors. If the responsible prime contractor’s
agreement fails to comply with the Client’s intent then the Client agrees to assume the duty to defend and indemnify GHA for claims arising
out of the Contractor’s or subcontractors’ negligence, errors or omissions in the performance of their work.
12. Contractor Submittals. Shop drawing and submittal reviews by GHA shall apply only to the items in the submissions that
concern GHA’s scope of Basic Services and only for the purpose of assessing if, upon successful incorporation in the project, they are
generally consistent with the GHA’s Instruments of Service. Client agrees that the Contractor is solely responsible for the submissions and
for compliance with the Instruments of Service. Owner agrees that GHA’s review and action in relation to the submissions does not constitute
the provision of means, methods, techniques, sequencing or procedures of construction or extend to jobsite or worker safety. GHA’s
consideration of a component does not constitute acceptance of an assembled item.
13. Hazardous Materials. Client agrees that GHA has no responsibility or liability for any hazardous or toxic materials,
contaminants or pollutants.
14. Record Drawings. If required by the Scope of Basic Services, record drawings will be prepared which may include unverified

services rendered and all costs incurred up to the date of termination in accordance with compensation provisions of this Agreement. Client
shall not assign this Agreement without GHA’s prior written consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. Nothing

Re: Hillcrest Lake Outfall Improvements Project
Bid Recommendation
Dear Mr. Falcone:
The City received two bids for this project on February 17, 2026 at 10:30 AM. We have reviewed the bids
and the bid price extensions. The base bids ranged from $497,633.00 to $588,259.70. The engineer’s
opinion of probable cost was $510,715.00. A detailed tabulation of all bids is attached.
Based on our review, the low bidder was Martam Construction, Inc. of Elgin, IL with a total bid of
$497,633.00. However, the bid response indicated that Martam Construction would not be able to meet
the BEP Utilization goals of the DCEO funds that represent $420,000 of the funding for this project. We
confirmed with Martam that due to the size and nature of the project, they do not anticipate they would
be able to adjust subcontractor involvement to meet the 28% BEP utilization goal. To date, the Illinois
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity has not provided any assurance that a waiver
would be granted. The second lowest bidder, Berger Contractors, Inc., meets the BEP utilization goals.
We recommend award of the contract to Berger Contractors, Inc. at the unit prices bid and an estimated
total cost of $588,259.70. We further recommend that the Council allow for a 10% contingency for
unforeseen underground conditions that may arise during construction.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Strahan, P.E., CFM

Re: Proposal for Professional Services
Phase II Permanent Easement
Camp McDonald Road: Wheeling Road to Wolf Road
Prospect Heights, IL
GHA Proposal No. 2026.T024
Dear Mr. Falcone:
Upon direction of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA) is pleased to
submit our proposal for preparing a Plat of Highways and subconsulting the Land Acquisition process for acquiring a permanent
easement across the CN Railroad for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a pedestrian sidewalk crossing as part of the
Camp McDonald sidewalk from Wheeling Road to Wolf Road.
The Camp McDonald project has received Phase I and Phase II approval and upon completion of the recording of the required
permanent easement, this project will be cleared for Letting through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Should you have any questions, or if we can be of additional assistance, please feel free to contact me at (847) 821-6226. We
look forward to working with the City of Prospect Heights on this project.
Sincerely,
Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc.

Agreement for Professional Services
Phase II Permanent Easement
Camp McDonald Road Sidewalk
Wheeling Road to Wolf Road
Prospect Heights, IL
GHA Proposal No. 2026.T024
The City of Prospect Heights (City / Client) having an address of 8 N. Elmhurst Road, Prospect Heights, IL 60070 and Gewalt
Hamilton Associates, Inc., (GHA), having an office at 625 Forest Edge Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061, agree and contract as
follows:
I. Project Understanding
Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA) will provide additional Surveying Services to the City for the proposed Camp McDonald
Road sidewalk improvements to be constructed between Wheeling Road and Wolf Road. It is our understanding that this project
is currently in the CMAP TIP 03-23-0019.
Our original Phase II engineering proposal scope anticipated that the proposed sidewalk would cross the CN railroad tracks
under a project-specific agreement, similar to what was required for the Wolf Road Crossing. In February IDOT informed us
that due to recent policy changes a permanent easement would be required for the proposed railroad pedestrian crossing
improvements, which will require preparation of Plat of Highways. The following outlines the supplemental Phase II Scope of
Services required based on this direction.
II. Supplemental Phase II Scope of Services
We have organized our supplemental Phase II Scope of Services into the following tasks, detailed below:
A. Plat of Highways
Obtain all available documentation and complete a survey of the right-of-way (ROW) within project limits for the purposes
of establishing the ROW and preparing a Plat of Highway.
GHA will mobilize a survey crew directed by an Illinois Professional Land Surveyor to perform field work necessary
to establish the existing right of way and parcel boundaries. Obtain Title Commitments of the parcels proposed for acquisition
and prepare Plat(s) of Highway and Legal Descriptions in accordance with jurisdictional Department of Transportation
requirements.
Plat of Highway
Additional field surveying may be needed to identify the following:
All found or set monumentation.
Buildings within 100-ft of proposed right of way or easements (to be measured and tied to the proposed right of way).
All private encroachments with the existing right of way.
All private improvements in and within 20 feet of the proposed/existing right of ways and proposed easement lines in
the respective parcels (i.e., fences, signs, lighting standards, private utilities, canopies, driveways, parking lots, etc.).
The Plat of Highway will depict the following information:
All parcel geometry necessary to mathematically define the boundaries to be acquired.
The limits or boundaries of the total holding of all Parcel owners.
The linear dimensions of all total holding parcels.
All section lines and subdivision lines included within the acquisition area.
Illinois State Plane Coordinates for all principal control and boundary points within the acquisition limits.
The point of commencement and point of beginning for all parcel description.
Table itemizing parcel no.; owner; total holding, acquisition, easement, and remainder acreages, and tax ID number.

Phase II Permanent Easement
Camp McDonald Road Improvements
Wheeling Road to Wolf Road
Prospect Heights, Illinois
Centerline alignment with stationing as provided by the applicable jurisdiction and offsets to proposed right of way at
each change of bearing or curve.
Upon acceptance by IDOT of all documents associated with the highway project, the Plat of Highway will be signed
and sealed by the licensed land surveyor and provided to the client. The client is responsible for recording the signed
Plat of Highway.
All boundary surveys and legal descriptions will be based on a current commitment for title insurance. We have included title
commitments on the one (1) referenced parcels. We anticipate utilizing the services of Wheatland Title Company for the title
commitments and have budgeted $1,250 per title commitment.
The Plat will be drafted and plotted on a 22’ X 34” sheet(s) at a 1”= 20’ or 1”= 30’ scale conducive to review and the number of
parcels on a sheet as a function of scale. Upon approval, monuments (approved by IDOT) will be set at each property line
intersecting the proposed right of way and at each change of bearing or curve along the proposed right of way. Individual
monuments, monument ties or individual parcel plats are outside the scope of this work.
A legal description of each acquisition parcel, permanent easement, or temporary easement will be prepared, and each legal
description will include a header that contains the owner, parcel number, and tax ID number.
The Plat of Highway prepared according to the standard IDOT procedure and the legal description for all parcels will
be submitted to IDOT for review. When review comments are received from IDOT, all sheets and legal descriptions will be
revised per requested comments and resubmitted to IDOT for approval.
Once the Plat of Highway has been approved by IDOT, all additional work will be billed at time and material per
contract. If additional parcels beyond the one (1) parcel indicated or if additional surveys and plats are requested, an
amendment to this agreement will be required and the fee adjusted.
B. Land Acquisition Services
GHA will sub-consult the services of Santacruz land Acquisition to proceed with the Land Acquisition Process including the
following:
Project Management
Appraisals
Review Appraisals
Negotiations
See attached Santacruz Land Acquisitions Sub-Consultant Agreement.
III. Schedule
GHA is prepared to commence work immediately upon receipt of written authorization from the Client.
Key Personnel
Mr. Kevin Belgrave, PE, PTOE will function as the Project Manager and manage all coordination with IDOT. Mr. Belgrave will
be assisted as needed by additional GHA professional and technical staff.
IV. Compensation for Services
For the above-described services, GHA proposes billing on a time-and-materials (T&M) basis not-to-exceed (NTE) fee of
$38,960. A detailed estimate of man-hours and direct costs are provided in Exhibit A.

12. Contractor Submittals. Shop drawing and submittal reviews by GHA shall apply only to the items in the submissions that
concern GHA’s scope of Basic Services and only for the purpose of assessing if, upon successful incorporation in the project, they are
generally consistent with the GHA’s Instruments of Service. Client agrees that the Contractor is solely responsible for the submissions and
for compliance with the Instruments of Service. Owner agrees that GHA’s review and action in relation to the submissions does not constitute

sections.
• Introductory Notice to Owners. The appraiser will notify the property owner of the proposed taking and will invite
the property owner to be present during the inspection by the appraiser.
• Appraisal. The appraiser shall make a detailed inspection of the properties and make such investigations and
studies as are consistent with industry standard and necessary to derive sound conclusions for the preparation of
appraisal reports. As necessitated by a change of ownership, a revision to the right of way or for condemnation
purposes, Santacruz will furnish and deliver updated or revised appraisals pursuant to a separate or supplemental
work order.
• Review Appraisal. All appraisals will be reviewed by the review appraiser assuring that all items affecting the value

and other documents to assist the property owner with reviewing the right-of-way request.
o Santacruz will make all reasonable efforts to complete the acquisition of the right-of-way from the

Page 41 of 63
o If, during its discussions with the property owner, errors in the plans are discovered or the property owner
requests design changes, Santacruz will immediately notify LPA and Consultant with this information. At
any time during negotiations for situations involving design changes, errors in plans or for any other
reason, if requested by LPA or Consultant, Santacruz will cease negotiations on certain parcels until
corrected information or further instruction is provided to Santacruz.

documents in order to complete the acquisition and obtain title approval for the property. Santacruz will
submit the completed parcel file with original conveyance documents, any documents necessary for title

paralegal and/or the negotiator. Finally, all final packages of settled or condemned parcels are compiled using
QA/QC checklist and reviewed by the Project Manager to assure proper completion.
• Condemnation Support. Santacruz understands that appearances in court and/or pretrial conferences, which may
include depositions, and preparation for litigation or pre-trial conferences may be required by the LPA so that it
may complete the acquisition of the property through condemnation. In the event, after making every reasonable
effort to contact and negotiate with a property owner, Santacruz is unable to obtain a settlement for the
acquisition of the right-of-way, Santacruz shall refer the parcel to the LPA for acquisition by condemnation.
In such case, at the request of LPA or its trial counsel, the Appraiser assigned to appraise the parcel shall make
any such appearances or complete such preparation work in order to assist with this process. In addition, at the
request of LPA or its trial counsel, the Negotiator assigned to negotiate the parcel shall make any such appearances
