Anybody? (No response.) MAYOR PURCELL: No, okay. Now we will turn it over to Rob Frederickson. Rob? MR. FREDERICKSON: All right. Thank you. This is the 2027 budget presentation. Looking at the budget schedule, we have the budget presentation along with the one mandated public hearing tonight on the 24th of March, and then we have as always until the end of the fiscal year, April 30th, for the City Council to adopt the proposed budget. So starting off with the General Fund, you can see comparing last year's budget to this year's budget, fund balance is about a million dollars higher than FY 25, and that's due in part to the deferral of the Special Census, which is approximately $900,000, but both budgets, in FY 26 and FY 27, show break-even in General Fund, meaning that revenue is equal to expenditures, all the way through Fiscal Year 29, and in FY 30 that dips a little bit, about 1 .5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 6 million dollars in deficit spending just to close out the Countryside TIF before returning to a break-even position in FY 3 1 . Similar story here with General Fund balance, again proposing the 26 and 27 budget. Right now fund balance is going to maintain at $12 million, is projected to, through FY 29, it will dip down about a million and a half in FY 30 before maintaining about $11 million going forward in FY 3 1 , again, to close out the Countryside TIF. Looking at the Aggregate City Fund balance, so this is all city funds combined, you can see the high water mark was about $40 million last year, and that was due to unspent bond proceeds. As you may recall, in February of '25 we issued about $60 million in bonds for water as long -- as well as the Public Works facility. That's going to get spent down in FY 26, primarily consisting of the Public Works and Parks facility, and that's going to continue to be spent down in FY 27 as we incur the bulk of expenditures for the D W C Lake Michigan Water 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 7 Sourcing Project before kicking back up in FY 28, and then maintaining, you know, surplus and deficit balances of 3 to $5 million a year moving forward. A similar story with the fund balance. You can see it going up, going down as we spend down proceeds before leveling off right around $30 million and then kind of arcing upwards as we move forward into FY 3 1 . Focusing on the General Fund, the FY 26 General Fund is going to do better than we initially expected. There should be an additional $600,000 in surplus which will transfer over to the City-Wide Capital Fund to fund both the road programs and other capital expenditures. Initially we did budget a $900,000 deficit after we did the Special Census related to the budget amendment, so we are doing better than budgeted for the General Fund in FY 26 as projected. And, again, for FY 26, as we round out the current fiscal year, they are pretty much in line with what we anticipated when we crafted 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 8 the budget back in the spring of 2025. The City-Wide Capital will get a little bit of increase due to the additional proceeds from the General Fund. The Building and Grounds Fund for the Parks and Public Works building is under budget, and there was a land acquisition that we budgeted for but did not occur. The Sewer Fund has been positively impacted by project delays, and we have the downtown TIF funds which continue to yield positive surpluses as the incremental taxes in those funds exceed expenditures. And then, of course, the Water Fund has some peaks and valleys over the next couple of years as we take in bond proceeds in FY 26 and then spend them down in FY 27. Just a quick review of some of the City Council goals that are being incorporated into the budget. Number one was the downtown. Just a quick recap of what's been going on down there, the City purchased the F S property last fiscal year, in FY 25. Both the downtown -- the original 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 9 Downtown TIF Fund and the Downtown TIF II fund are exceeding revenue expectations as, you know, property values continue to grow. There is the Hydraulic District plan. We unsuccessfully applied for a Rebuild Downtown Main Street grant; however, we were -- which we did not get, but we were awarded an ITEP grant for $3 million, and, of course, that project has been incorporated into the budget. The Hydraulic District Plan is pending based on the results of brownfield remediation, which is currently in progress. So, number two, with staffing. So for FY 27 we had proposed nine new full-time hires. Real quick, Management Analyst in Admin; Electrical Inspector in Community Development, which is expected to be offset from building permit revenues; a Social Worker and Patrol Officer in Police; a Maintenance Worker I in Parks; a Mechanic and Mechanic Tech in the new Vehicle Services Department and the Vehicle Equipment Fund; an Admin Assistant in Public Works; and a new Utility Billing Clerk for Water Operations. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 10 Additional staffing as we move forward, FY 28, we are planning on a Mechanical Inspector. Again, like the electrical inspector, this would be fully funded by a revenue offset. And then we have some planned positions that are not funded in the budget, but that are being contemplated: Two Patrol Officers in FY 28; a Patrol and FOIA Officer in 29; two Patrol Officers in FY 30; and a new Patrol Officer in FY 3 1 . So obviously one of our bigger primary projects over the last several years has been the Lake Michigan Water Sourcing, with project completion, we are anticipating that by late calendar year 2027, and the first use of water is expected probably in the spring of 2028. You know, D WC has revised its bidding strategy. Initially the first bid came in higher than anticipated, but since then they have kind of, you know, broken up their bid in smaller pieces, kind of revised their procurement process a little bit, and now we're starting to see those bids kind of come more in line with what we anticipated, so we are hoping that it 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 11 will, you know, finish right around 300 million, which was our initial estimate, and we are -- they are -- excuse me, they are wrapping up bids, so they're going to have a couple more here in March, and then we just found out last Friday a couple more will be extended into April, but definitely by end of April we should have a pretty firm idea of what those costs are going to be. Of course all this is included in the five-year budget along with all the other ancillary projects we are doing in order to make sure that the City's water loss is below ten percent so that we can take water from Lake Michigan pursuant to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Just a quick rehash of the financing for the Lake Michigan water project, we have a WIFIA loan set at a maximum of 170 million. It is tentatively approved and set to close here in early hopefully Q 2026. We also were fortunate enough to get two IEPA low interest loans for just under $24 million, and we have another IEPA low 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 12 interest loan set to close here in June of 2026. This past February we did pass a $50 million bridge financing, just a short-term financing, some debt certificates that we will be paying back with WIFIA loan proceeds, and then as I had mentioned previously, back in 2025 we did sell a bond for $25 million to fund our portion of that cost. And, again, the Multi-Year Water Rate Plan that was adopted by City Council last June has been incorporated into the proposed budget document as well. Moving to the Public Works and Parks building, just a quick rehash, City Council, you know, approved design agreements with Kluber and EEI in 2024, we hired RC Wegman to be our construction manager in late 2024, and then we approved a construction contract for the new facility in 2025. Bids came in under budget, and so far we have only utilized a very small portion of our contingency, using about 375 ,000 to date of a $2 .5 million contingency, so that's good news. Again, construction is ahead of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 13 schedule with a tentative move-in plan for mid-summer of 2026. The subdivision cluster, our Road to Better Roads program, in 2025 the City repaved $4 million as part of this project, we did about 3 .8 million this year, in FY 26, and we proposed to do another 3 .1 million in FY 27, which will wrap up that subdivision cluster, and we have been able to do that without raising the RINF, the Road Infrastructure Fee, or issue new debt; however, in order to finalize the program we will have to use about 1 .2 million of the remaining 2025 B bond proceeds that will be transferred from the Building and Grounds Fund. And then beginning in F Y 28 City-Wide Capital does have a deficit position; if we want to maintain the $2 .5 million that we have allocated towards roads in FY 28 and beyond, we will either need to come up with a new revenue or a modified revenue source, debt issuance or a reduction in the program's scope. And, last, our Home Rule status. Yorkville's population, 2 1 ,533 people as of the most recent census, which was done in 2024, we 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 14 planned on starting our Special Census on July 1 st of 2025. That unfortunately was delayed by a federal hiring freeze, but now we are expecting that to start up again here in the spring of 2026 and hopefully finish by this summer. We do expect our population to be 25,000 people plus, and, just as a reminder, each person, resident, counted generates about $250 per year in state shared revenues. We do expect those new revenues to come in right around November, we anticipate the state, you know, certifying our new population numbers, assuming the Special Census stays on track, which would yield about an additional million dollars a year in those annual shared revenues from the Special Census for the city. So a real quick snapshot of our capital budgets kind of over the last several years. 2024 we had kind of, you know, a normal year, probably of a little heavy on the vehicle and equipment, 20 million. That jumped up to 40 million as we kind of ramped up for the Lake Michigan and Public Works project last year. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 15 That is continuing to rise here in FY 26. As you can see, we spent a significant amount of capital on the Public Works facility this year, in addition to the Lake Michigan water sourcing, and then you can see it go very high in FY 27, north of 1 40 million, as that is the primary fiscal year in which we intend to expend the bulk of the funds necessary to construct the D WC water transmission main. Just a quick rehash of some of the major capital projects in the five-year budget. Of course we have the Lake Michigan water sourcing, which I have talked about, the Public Works and Parks facility construction, we will continue with our normal road, Better Roads Program, annual sidewalk and tree replacements, annual water main replacements, full funding of the Route 47 and Route 7 1 state expansions, we have Game Farm/Somonauk repaving, and then full playground replacement and vehicle and equipment replacement as well for all departments. So then if you look at the budget memo, we kind of break down some of the smaller line items. We take all the noteworthy line 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 16 items in every single fund and do a little bit of analysis and talk, you know, quite a bit about where we think they are going as well as trends, operational/commodity expenditure assumptions, and other things that are specific to individual departments and funds. And just a quick recap of the budget schedule. Tonight we have the presentation along with the public hearing and then we have the 14th and the 18th for discussion and approval. So that concludes the presentation. Any questions, happy to answer them. MAYOR PURCELL: Council have any questions? (No response.) MAYOR PURCELL: Rob, thank you very much. I know you put hundreds of hours into that. And how many years in a row have you received the award for the audit? MR. FREDERICKSON: I think we are on our 14th year. MAYOR PURCELL: Very nice. And what is that award, I don't remember, is that the federal or national -- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com City Council - Public Hearing - March 24, 2026 17 MR.

Landscape Buffer and/or Retention Area Yorkville Nexus V Request – Land Use 10 Site Plan includes the following: –UDO-conforming setbacks on north, west and south. –1,100 ft setback from Rob Roy Creek to the nearest residential structure in the Caledonia subdivision. –Setbacks are consistent with those of Cardinal and Steel for residential and commercial properties including subdivisions. –Central 11 acres contains 8-foot berm with landscaping. The location further from the data center buildings helps to conceal development from the east.

NOT PROPOSED - East Parcel Multifamily Development: PROPOSED- Data Center West of Rob Roy Creek: Yorkville Nexus V Request – Land Donation 15 –Green Door is willing to forego potential value from future development of the 48 acres. –The land donation equates to 29%of the total site acreage. –When adding the 11 acres on which vertical development will be prohibited, Green Door is committing to 48 acres of the 128-acre site, or 37.5%, to be used for open green space. –Project Steel is at 0% donated land and Project Cardinal’s land donation equates to less than 7% of their site acreage. NOT PROPOSED - East Parcel Multifamily Development: PROPOSED - Data Center West of Rob Roy Creek: Yorkville Nexus V –Impact Fee to Yorkville –Yorkville Nexus V has agreed to payment of a $10,000,000 Impact Fee to the city of Yorkville, in addition to revenue generated by Utility tax, property tax, review and permitting fees. –$1,000,000 will be paid upfront with the approval of rezoning and nonrefundable. –The remaining $9,000,000 will be secured with a Bond or Letter or Credit upon PUD approval and will be payable over a period time as determined by the City as part of the PUD. –The above Impact Fee will be in addition to other revenue streams previously discussed including Utility Tax and Property Tax revenues. –The above Impact Fee will be in addition to the 37 acredonation and the 11 acreberm buffer 16 Yorkville Nexus V –Impact Fee Comparisons The Yorkville Nexus V Impact Fee well-exceeds the amount approved for Project Cardinal and proposed for Project Steel on both a per acre and buildable SF basis. 17 Project Cardinal Project Steel Yorkville Nexus V Impact Fee $51,000,000 $40,000,000 $10,000,000 Developable Site Acreage 1,037 540 80 Impact Fee / Acre $49,180 $74,074 $125,000 Building SF 17,313,002 6,823,800 1,294,304 (1) Impact Fee / Building SF $2.95 $5.86 $7.73 Land Donation 71 acres (6.9% of total) 0 acres 37 acres (29% of total) (1) Estimated square feet based on site plan shown. Final square feet subject to PUD approval. Yorkville Nexus V –Rezoning Request Why not a PUD right now? –Yorkville Nexus V has heard the voice of the residents that they want to be more of a part of / aware of development decisions when an eventual user comes. –End users often have extreme specificity on requirements which could alter the site layout, number of buildings, equipment needs and location and required square footage, etc. –Development Agreement provides that data center development is contingent on negotiation of a PUD which conforms to the UDO and is approved by the Mayor and City Council. –Goal is to gain zoning to find the right group and conform to the UDO, not to request approval for an upfront site-plan that is likely to change and render studies on noise, water, traffic and other impacts useless. 18 Yorkville Nexus V –Rezoning Request Summary 19 Why Green Door? –Fee simple landowners (not contract buyers) who are committed to the site and development in Yorkville. –Our approval to bifurcate zoning and PUD approval promotes transparency and communication. –Track record of success. Why this Site? City Benefit –Most well located of all sites. Adjacent to the Com-Ed substation and part of a corridor west of Rob Roy Creek of approved or pending energy-focused projects. –Reduced developable site from 128 to 80 acres, including setback areas. This provides a substantial setback to the east and limits development to occur solely west of Rob Roy Creek. Additionally, limiting two-story development on western tax parcel only. –Conforms with Data Center & Power Corridor West of Rob Roy Creek –Donation of 37 acres,or 29%of total site acreage, to the City of Yorkville to ensure continued open green space adjacent to Caledonia subdivision. –No development on additional 11-acre berm buffer, totaling 48 acres of green space –$10,000,000 Impact fee with $1,000,000 paid now. –Proposed Impact Fee is 70%higher than Project Steel and 154%higher than Project Cardinal on a per acre basis.
