November 21, 2018
To the Honorable President Ermeling, Village Board of Trustees, and Village Residents:
We respectfully present the 2019 budget in anticipation of approval Monday, November
26, 2018. The Village continues to struggle with revenue loss from the state and ever-
increasing demands for funding operations. This report is a combined effort of all
departments heads to maintain service levels for our constituents.
2019 Budget Significant impacts are:
- Health Insurance for the Village, Everest Metro Public Safety, and South Area
Fire and EMS Rescue increased 8%. Total dollar increase was estimated at $76,323.36,
this number doesn’t take into consideration those who added the insurance for the first
time or those who switched from single to family.
- Total Public works increase is $141,362. Increase in surface maintenance
($148,309). The 2018 budget was decreased by $48,309 from 2017; total request is
returning to 2017 budget plus $100,000. Increase in salt ($54,800). The 2018 original salt
budget was reduced by $20,000 from 2017; total request is returning to 2017 budget
plus $34,000 to keep up with higher salt costs and increased demand. Increase
electricity $17,000 to bring closer to actual. An additional operator/maintainer was
budgeted for as well.
- Increase $87,590 for SAFER operations, this number will add one new person
and keep all other operations status quo
- Increase $76,172 for Everest Metro Police Department. This funds one new
officer for 3 months, increases capital equipment budget $17,000, and keeps all other
operations status quo.
- Both the Water and Sewer Utility budgets reflect the rate increases that were
authorized in 2018. A 22.5% overall revenue increase for the Water Utility and a 15%
increase in Sewer.
- Tax rate increase of 5.22% or 33 cents, which increases our revenue by
$298,076.
- Decrease in State General Transportation aid of $59,702
- Decrease in State Expenditure Restraint funds of $82,357
