Fiscal Year 2008 -2009 Budget Update
(ADM 2008 -11)
Mayor Burd asked Administrator McLaughlin for a budget update. Administrator McLaughlin stated that
the 2008 -2009 proposed budget has total expenditures of $13.3 million. This is slightly above the 2006-
2007 budget. The 2007 -2008 budget was $19.3 million of which $2.9 million was the In -Town Road
Project. Staff, the Administration Committee and the mayor have worked numerous hours on the budget.
They have had to face the challenge of the downturn in the economy. In the past few years the city has
benefitted from a strong housing industry however with the downturn projected revenues are not being
realized. Significant reductions have been made to the budget in order to match the revenues that are
anticipated in the next year. He felt that with the budget cuts made earlier in the year and the adjustments
made in anticipation of the next year should find the city in a good fiscal position.
Changes made to the budgets since it was initially presented to the Administration Committee are as
follows:
• The $500,000.00 owed to the city from Ocean- Atlantic is not included in the proposed budget.
The city is currently taking legal action and it is hopeful the city will collect payment.
• Contingency has been lowered to $20,000.00.
• A separate city -wide capital fund has been established which is a stronger accounting practice and
better internal control system. Capital items were reduced resulting in the General Fund being
reduced by $180,000.00.
• Health insurance quotes came in significantly less than anticipated so this line item could be
lowered $83,000.00.
• The Police Department made significant adjustments with cuts to proposed hiring.
• Discretionary capital items were delayed for an additional year.
Administrator McLaughlin added that the budget has to be adopted before May 1, 2008.
Mayor Burd opened the floor for questions, suggestions, etc.
Alderman Besco asked if funds for the proposed public works facility were cut. Mr. McLaughlin stated
that funds for the building were in the budget under the city -wide capital fund to be paid out of general
revenues. As the budget was refined, the expense was moved to the public works capital fund which
receives funds from developers.
Alderman Spears questioned the $20,000.00 in the Contingency Fund. She asked if funds were taken
from this fund when a well went down. Administrator McLaughlin stated no funds were taken from
contingency to pay for the well repairs; all expenses were submitted to the insurance carrier and what
wasn't covered was paid out of revenues in the water fund. Alderman Spears questioned which fund
covered the cost of roof repairs. Mr. McLaughlin stated this came out of the Municipal Building Fund.
Alderman Spears asked what the Contingency Fund is used for. Mr. McLaughlin stated that $50,000.00
of the Contingency Fund was used for the purchase of land off of Route 47 and there was another
expenditure of $17,000.00 but he could not recall the specifics. Alderman Spears commented that she did
not feel $20,000.00 in the fund was enough especially if an emergency situation should arise. Mr.
McLaughlin stated that if the City Council wanted to recommend cuts in other areas of the budget, this
fund could be increased. He stated that the fall back position is that the fund balance covers additional
catastrophic costs. He noted that the city policy is for the contingency fund to be between 15% and 20 %.
Alderman Spears stated that in the past the fund was kept between 23% and 25 %. She expressed her
concern that state legislators are attempting tax cut backs which could directly affect city funds and
KenCom will be asking for more funding. She felt the city wasn't saving or being cautious. She
suggested that the Community Relations budget of $164,319.00, used for conferences, community events,
Holidays Under the Stars, etc., be addressed. She commented that it is great to offer these programs
however with the present economy she felt that taxpayers would rather have their roads fixed, police
protections, etc. She felt that this account was "bubbles and bangles" and not really spending the
taxpayers money the way they expect it to be spent. She asked Administrator McLaughlin to find funds
under this budget which could be allocated to other areas. She suggested cuts to brochures, postcards and
the city newsletter. She felt if a little bit could be taken from each department's budget it would be better
than cutting $500,000.00 from one department.
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council — April 10. 2008 — rase 4
Alderman Golinski commented that he noticed that since the proposed budget presented on April 1, 2008.
there has been changes and cuts from every department except Community Relations. He agreed with
Alderman Spears that a harder look should be taken at this department's budget to see if there are any
areas that could be tighten up.
Mayor Burd explained that the department head made cuts to this department such as having the intern
remain part -time and cutting the amount of money allocated to Holiday Under the Stars, before the City
Council received the budget. Mayor Burd stated that she has a different take on Community Relations;
she believes it is one of the most important departments in the city because it is a tool for the aldermen
and the city to contact constituents. She felt the aldermen could use the city newsletters more effectively
than they do since very few aldermen submit information. She commented that when she talks to people
they tell her they very seldom hear from their aldermen and she felt it is the City Council's duty to contact
constituents, to get as much information to them as possible and to provide them with a lot of venues to
receive information. She felt this was not done effectively in the past. She felt the department head,
Glory Spies, was doing a great job even organizing the foreclosure prevention seminar for residents.
Other communities have contacted Yorkville about the seminar. She stated that people feel that
community events give residents a sense of community and allow them to connect to each other. She
commented that the city needs more than police; it needs quality of life issues. She stated that she
received positive feedback from those who received the bubbles and she disagreed with Alderman Spears.
After Alderman Golinski noted that he never gave up the floor to the mayor, he pointed out that there
wasn't a line item for the legislative attorney. He stated that the City Council gave direction to allot
$10,000.00 for this but he could not find it in the budget. Mr. McLaughlin stated that Alderman Golinski
was correct in his observation. Alderman Golinski ftirther commented on the Sewer Main account and
hoped that the city would not get into a situation where improvement dollars would be used to fund
operations. He also noted a deficit in the Land Cash fund and hoped the city would be very careful with
this fund.
Mayor Burd asked about the $700,000.00 due from Wal -Mart for the Land Cash fund. Mr. McLaughlin
stated that this contribution is in the Annexation Agreement and the funds should be received after they
close on the property. These funds were not included in the budget however the deal with Wal-Mart is
progressing.
Alderman Besco commented on the Community Relations budget. He stated that he understood the value
of a good community however the Council's main obligation is to provide essential services to residents.
He felt if residents were asked if they want a good police force, potholes filled and sewers working or
bubbles; they would not choose bubbles. He felt priorities should be in place; in tough times you don't
"buy a Porsche ". He stated that every department has done a fine job in cutting their budgets and a hard
look should be given to non - essential services. Mayor Burd commented that the price of bubbles won't
pave a street.
Alderman Munns asked for clarification on "bubbles ". Mayor Burd explained that the city gave away
bubbles at the Hometown Days celebration. Alderman Spears added that $400.00 was spent on the
bubbles. Alderman Munns complimented the departments on their cuts.
Alderman Sutcliff commented that she was aware of the cuts to the Police Department however she
wasn't aware of what the Public Works Department cut. She asked if the city was in eminent danger with
the cuts to these departments. Mr. McLaughlin stated that Chief Martin said he would not make the cuts
unless they were the right thing to do and that the Police Department could continue to provide the same
quality of service it currently provides even with the budget cuts. Director Dhuse stated that potholes will
still be filled even with the cuts.
Mayor Burd stated that Chief Martin will hire four new officers that the city did not have last year.
Alderman Spears clarified that Chief Martin is actually replacing officers who have resigned or retired, he
is not hiring the four additional officers he requested. Mayor Burd stated that these positions sat empty
and the Police Department operated without them all last year. Alderman Spears countered that the
mayor was not portraying the situation correctly.
Alderman Spears also disagreed with the mayor's 'thinking that public relations and parties are top priority
for the community. She stated that she did not care how other communities see Yorkville and that she did
not want Yorkville to compete with other coy munities in the area of hosting events. She felt Ie
taxpayers would agree_ Alderman Spears further noted that employees have been sent for classes to learn
various computer programs so they can create publications and brochures. She felt this resource as well
as the city's iii- house equipment should be used in an effort to save money. Mayor Burd stated that this
has occurred and gave an example of the brochure that was created for the Green Committee's Water
Conservation seminar.
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council — April 10, 2008 —page 5
The Mayor also noted that the Police Department cuts were made by Chief Martin; they were not made
for him. She stated that she had faith in him and noted that he is comfortable with the cuts. She
suggested Alderman Spears discussed this with Chief Martin. Alderman Spears stated that she did not
doubt Chief Martin however she would rather have the funds available to hire additional officers or to
contribute to KenCom. Alderman Spears noted that the Alan Greenspan has announced that the city is in a
recession and she felt this should be addressed. She felt the city should be cautious with how it was
allocating funds.
Mayor Burd agreed that the city should be cautious and that is why she asked the staff for $500,000.00 in
budget cuts because she felt this would keep the reserve fund higher. Chief Martin complied with her
request and made the cuts he did. She stated that the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) may go down if
the housing market stays sluggish; houses may not be worth as much and the city may not get as much
real estate tax revenue. She noted that on the other hand the city can anticipate more sale tax revenue
coming in so it is not all "gloom and doom ". She stated that it should not be thought that the city is in
anyway endangering residents. She also commented that there is no way the city can fund another $2.5
million in -town road program and that there is enough in the reserve fund to cover any type of major
catastrophe.
Alderman Besco commented that the city should watch out for the "little money "; the "big money" will
take care of itself He felt that the city needed to keep a line on everything and bickering wouldn't do any
good. He stated that no one can predict what will happen with the economy so the city should be as
cautious with taxpayer's money as possible.
Mayor Burd noted that a program that was dear to her, the parkway tree program, was cut, She had hope
to start a program replacing parkway trees and had put $25,000.001 the budget for it. She asked for
donations of tree and anyone interested should contact her because she would like to see Yorkville
become a "greener" city.
Alderman Munns commented that everything should be watched but the police and infrastructure are
necessary for operating a city. He stated that if community development, parks, community relations, etc.
were to stop, the city would still run. He suggested that things be prioritize; important things should be
considered fast_ However, he didn't feel every $100 or $200 item needed to be addressed.
Mayor Burd asked what price could be placed on making 400 children happy. She stated that the bubbles
put smiles on people's faces and this was important to her.
Alderman Spears asked Alderman Munns how he felt about all the foreclosures in the community and the
tears people are shedding because they cannot afford living. Alderman Munns stated that he felt bad
however people make a commitment when they sign mortgage documents. He felt that it should not be
on the city when someone enters into a bad deal. Alderman Spears stated that the City Council should
respect peoples' hardships and be responsible in how the taxpayer's hard earned money is spent. Mayor
Burd stated that this is why the city held a foreclosure seminar; to help people affected by this. She stated
that this seminar came through the Community Relations Department and CD's of the seminar were still
available for those who were interested.
Mayor Burd asked the City Council to contact Administrator McLaughlin if they had any other
suggestions, other than the bubbles, for budget cuts_ The ordinance will be back on the agenda in two
weeks. Administrator McLaughlin suggested that if the City Council sees anything structurally or
significantly wrong, they should provide input or direction at this meeting or schedule a separate meeting
because there is only one more City Council meeting before the ordinance has to be passed. He
confinned that the City Council wanted to see $10,000.00 for a legislative attorney in the budget and he
explained that he could adjust the Rob Roy Falls signal top accommodate this.
Alderman Spears commented that she was not saying she was not confident in the staff however she
reminded the City Council that she and Alderman Golinski discovered.the 2.5 million deficit in the
budget. They brought this to the attention of the staff and Administration Committee. She stated that she
has never seen a deficit such as this since she has been on the Council and she was appalled. Mayor Burd
stated that when Alderman Golinski pointed out an $800,000.00 transfer a "red flag" went up so she went
to the staff and told them the city would not be going for more than $500,000.00 out of the revenue fund.
She stated that Treasurer Powell concurred with this_ The revenue fund is for down cycles and there is
enough to use for four years.
Alderman Besco commented that he noticed that there is a notation for the percentage of budget change
for each department except the Community Relations Department. He asked the reason behind this. Mr.
McLaughlin explained that this department was previously part of the Administration Budget. For
The Minutes of the Reeular Meetine of the Citv Council — ADril 10, 2008 — Dage 6
purposes of budgeting and managing the accounts the two budgets were separated. This will make it clear
as to what dollars are being spent in this area.
Alderman Spears questioned the $1,500.00 for sponsorships. Assistant City Administrator Olson noted
that it was still in the budget and could be found on page 7 of the budget.
Alderman Golinski stated that he did find some things that he had concerns about and he brought them to
the Administration Committee. He stated that the entire budget process is difficult, it has been a team
effort and he felt everyone did a good job_ He commented that the problems the city is facing are not
unique to Yorkville; many communities are having a tough time.
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Supporting Local Businesses
(CC 2008 -24)
Alderman Golinski stated that it was unfortunate that he had to bring this subject up however he was
compelled to after receiving many telephone calls and emails regarding the disparaging remarks made by
another member of the City Council about a local business. He read a statement (see attached) regarding
the incident. He stated that he spoke with the business owners affected by the remarks. He commented
that they have moved to the community, invested their money, haven't made any money yet and then this
happens. He felt that an alderman making such remarks is wrong on a multitude of levels.
Alderman Munns agreed with Alderman Golinski. He stated that he supports businesses coming to
Yorkville and he encouraged residents to patronize the establishment. He stated that there was a "silver
lining'; the business got a lot of good, free publicity.
Mayor Burd commented that she brought twenty people to the business last Saturday to hear a band play.
They had a good evening and it didn't look like Alderman Plocher's comments were causing the business
"any ref
Alderman Besco stated that anyone who feels the city is not pro economic development should sit in on
an Economic Development Committee meeting where everything they do is geared towards helping the
economic environment for businesses in Yorkville. He also complimented the director of the Yorkville
Economic Development Corporation, Lynn Dubajic. He stated that she is an asset for the city and it was
nice to know that she is one of the first people prospective businesses talk to.
Alderman Spears encouraged residents and businesses to contact the aldermen and mayor if they feel they
are being "strong armed" by anyone on the Council. She stated that the Council is not above the law and
should abide by the rules and be as professional as possible. She stated that due to this incident, the city
has received bad publicity and she felt it was a complete embarrassment.
Alderman Golinski disagreed with the mayor that the business didn't "feel any grief'. He spoke to the
owners after the incident happen and they were indeed experiencing grief over the situation because they
did not know how much power a single alderman had or who to turn to.
Mayor Burd stated she spoke with the owners while she was there and they commented that they wished
people would stop talking about it and let it go away.

where it was noted that while home construction was down, commercial construction was still moving

The organization is financially strong.
Trip to Springfield
Alderman Sutcliff reported that she, the mayor and representatives of other neighboring communities
went to Springfield to meet with legislators to lobby for critical projects. Route 47 was discussed and the
focus was on $4 million of federal government funds and the waiting for $1 million of matching funds
from the state. The group met with the offices of Senators Obama and Durbin as well as with
Representative Cross where they were given good insight into planning for transportation needs. She
suggested people contact the legislators and ask them to support the capital bill. She also invited other
aldermen to go to Springfield.
Mayor Burd stated that she met with the head of IDOT who explained that $20 million is needed or
everything will shut down due to the hard winter. Representative Cross felt confident that the capital bill
will be passed and Representative Lindner is also aware of Yorkville's problems with Route 47.
Representatives from Sugar Grove pointed out that an international group will becoming to their village
next year and the roads should look good for the event. She also spoke with representatives from the
IEPA, IDNR, Mayor Daley's office, etc.
Alderman Besco asked when the state last past a capital bill and Mayor Burd stated that it has been nine
years. He commented that the city shouldn't rely on the bill passing. Mayor Burd stated that
Representative Cross indicated that state officials are aware that if the bill doesn't pass billions of federal
dollars may be lost so there is pressure to pass the bill.
Alderman Golinski expressed his interest in joining in the trip however he did not go because a City
Council meeting was scheduled. He indicated he would like to attend in the future.
