Activities Statement
Downtown Yorkville II
The second TIF in the downtown area was created on May 18, 2018, for the purposes of enhancing the
performance of the original downtown redevelopment area. The new Downtown TIF II is comprised of
underperforming parcels from the original Downtown TIF, in addition to some new parcels, which expanded
the overall size of the redevelopment area. By establishing a second TIF, these underperforming parcels now
have a greater period of time to generate increment. Furthermore, TIF’s that share a boundary may also
distribute funds between them.
The second Downtown TIF generated incremental property taxes for the first time in the current fiscal year,
in an amount just under $25,000. In addition, the City sold the historic jail located on Madison Street within
the TIF district and entered into an agreement with a developer to rehab the building for residential and
commercial use.

statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of

whether the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the basic financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements, the basic financial statements present only the
Downtown Tax Incremental Financing District II of the United City of Yorkville, Illinois, and are not
intended to present fairly the financial position or results of operations of the United City of Yorkville,
Illinois, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Downtown Incremental Financing District II of the United City of Yorkville, Illinois as of
April 30, 2021, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Financing District II’s compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and grants.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY
ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS
October 19, 2021
The Honorable City Mayor
Members of the City Council
United City of Yorkville, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of the governmental activities of the
Downtown Tax Incremental Financing District II of the United City of Yorkville, Illinois, as of and for the
year ended April 30, 2021, and have issued our report thereon dated October 19, 2021. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Compliance
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to the Financing District IIs are the
responsibility of the United City of Yorkville’s management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance
about whether basic financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the City’s
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to the Financing
District II, including the City’s compliance with subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3 of the State of Illinois
Public Act 85-1142, An Act in Relation to Tax Increment Financing, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the determination of basic financial statement amounts. However, providing
an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance with the
provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph.
This report is intended for the information of the members of the City Council and management, and is not
