2021 Budget in Brief

GENERAL FUND EXPENSES

The Village is primarily a service organization, so it is no surprise that the majority of our main operating fund, 66%, goes towards employee salaries and benefits. These employee provide a wide variety of services, including police protection, street, parkland and parkway maintenance, snow plowing, administrative services, building permits and inspections, among others. The next largest category includes supplies and other operating costs. Supplies include printing, non-capital IT hardware and software, road salt, fuel for vehicles, and maintenance activities for Village parks and facilities. These expenses make up 13% of General Fund spending.

Contracted service includes insurance premiums and outside expertise, such as legal services, outsourcing, cleaning services, special event entertainment and consulting services. These services make up 10% of the General Fund. A majority of capital spending occurs in other funds because they are funded by other revenue sources. This year, the Village is spending $4.9 million for capital projects from the General Fund. This capital spending includes $1,000,000 for park improvements, $789,075 for vehicles and equipment, $268,838 for new IT software, and about $1.5 million for various Village facility security and other building improvements.
