VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK | FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET IN BRIEF

f.ªª.›ɷD›xnɷªN.ɷn Íx› LETTER FROM THE MAYOR

The Village of Orland Park had a very successful 2023 and we are on track for an even more prosperous 2024.

improvements only if current revenue sources are not available. The proposed fiscal year 2024 budget includes borrowing for capital improvements. In 2023, the Village issued one bond series. The 2023 bonds were issued to funding for the Village’s capital program, including streets, facility maintenance, and water infrastructure.

The attached 2024 budget maintains the high quality Village services offered to residents while allowing for capital investment in facilities and improvements, as well as the development of other initiatives to help establish a solid foundation for the community for years to come, all while facing the economic challenges that are beyond our control. The proposed budget continues the funding of General Fund services without the use of a General Fund property tax. As a result, Village residents enjoy one of the lowest municipal tax rates in the area. The Village will continue to examine municipal services and develop strategies that enable the Village to match resources (financial, physical and human) to the desired level of service. We will continue to examine further cost cutting measures such as outsourcing options, investing in appropriate technology and equipment to improve overall efficiency, and additional examination of government consolidation and cooperation, as well as increased economic development. The fiscal year 2024 budget reflects capital expenditures of $83,097,106. In addition to resurfacing and roadway improvements, other major capital expenditures reflected in this budget are found under the Capital tab in of the proposed budget. The Village survived and thrived throughout the pandemic, which occurred on the heels of several cost cutting measures. The Village was able to weather 2020 and 2021 in a strong position. Even so, the Village continues to find ways to reduce ongoing operational costs, while investing in needed capital projects. These adjustments include: Use of Fund Balance - The Village’s General Fund Balance Policy establishes a minimum level (target range) at which the projected end-of-year available fund balance should be maintained to provide financial stability, cash flow for operations, and the assurance that the Village will be able to respond to emergencies with fiscal strength. A draw-down of fund balance is proposed. However, we anticipate the General Fund will end 2024 with over 20% fund balance, which is in compliance with the Village’s policy.

For a bird’s eye view of the most recently completed

improvements, visit the Village’s GIS mapping site at orlandpark. org/maps. This includes road resurfacing and park improvements from 2019 through planned projects for 202

We've implemented the use of ClearGov, an online financial tool that puts at the fingertips of the community a fully transparent budget book, operational budget, personnel budgeting and capital budgeting. View full details on the Village’s website at orlandpark.org/budget. I urge each of our community members to take part in Village board meetings (we offer in person as well as a live broadcast on our OPTV Cable Channel and YouTube) and stay informed by joining in on one or more of our community engagement efforts which can be found on page 1

Please visit the Village website at orlandpark.org for all Village of Orland Park related news, event listings and more.

As always, please feel free to visit Village Hall and reach out to my office at or any member of Village staff with questions or concerns. Here’s to continued success in 2024.

10-*$& %&1"35.&/5 In 2023, the Orland Park Police Department implemented the Village's new Occupant With Autism decal program, aimed at providing crucial information to emergency responders during response calls. This initiative utilizes placement of decals and a registration system to inform first responders about individuals with autism residing in homes or as drivers or passengers in vehicles. The program offers free decals to residents of Orland Park as well as non-residents who are employed or attend school in the area. These decals can be affixed near the front door of homes and/or on the rear window of vehicles, effectively alerting law enforcement officers to the presence of an occupant with autism. By recognizing the decal, officers can draw upon their autism training and adjust their approach accordingly, understanding that the individual may not communicate, respond to verbal commands, or be aware of potential dangers. Residents who wish to participate in the program but prefer not to display the decal NBZ still do so by registering without placing the sticker on their home or vehicle. The Orland Park Police Department will then flag the address in their dispatch system, ensuring that arriving officers are aware of the presence of an individual with autism in the home. Police Chief Eric Rossi emphasized the voluntary and beneficial nature of the program, stating, “This free and voluntary database managed by the department is designed to provide peace of mind to our residents. It serves as a valuable tool for enhancing interactions involving individuals with autism and the men and women of the Orland Park Police Department,” explained Rossi. “The decals will serve as a visible notification not only to police but to all first responders.” The Orland Park Police Department remains committed to ongoing training on the best strategies and approaches for law enforcement encounters with individuals on the autism spectrum. By continuously enhancing their knowledge and understanding, the department strives to ensure the safety and well-being of all community members.

The Finance Department’s mission is to professionally and responsibly manage the financial affairs of the Village, to protect and further the Village’s strong financial reputation and to effectively and efficiently provide related support services to Village residents, as well as other operating departments and decision makers of the Village. We commit to anticipate, meet and exceed the service needs of the community, decision makers and fellow employees. In 2022, the Finance Department went live with Tyler Munis Financials software system after over a year of planning and preparation. The Finance Department will be rolling out Tyler Munis Payroll and Time and Attendance software at the end of the first quarter in 2024. We successfully shifted accounts payable invoice entry from a centralized entry to decentralized, resulting in better workflow and internal controls. We reorganized the department with the cashier team and utility billing team reporting to the Financial Services Manager, and the Assistant Finance Director more focused on back office processing. The 2023-2027 utility rate study was completed in 2022. With the implementation of ClearGov in 2021, the Finance Department was able to transition to a digital budget book in 2022, which includes detailed information on the capital improvement program. In 2023, the Finance Department launched the ClearGov Checkbook which allows more transparency to the public on Village expenses. 5 he Village QSFQBSFT Popular Annual Financial Report T (PAFR), BOE IBT SFDJFWFE GJWF 1"'3 BXBSET JO UIF MBTU TJY ZFBST 5IFTF SFQPSUT GPDVT on providing financial information in a transparent manner that can be understood by non-accountants.

The focus of accessible playgrounds is on providing equal access to play equipment and activities. While they address physical accessibility, they may not fully consider the needs of individuals with sensory, cognitive, or social-emotional disabilities. Inclusive playgrounds aim to create an environment where children of all abilities can play side by side, fostering social interaction and understanding. Inclusive playgrounds go beyond physical accessibility and strive to accommodate the diverse needs of children with sensory, cognitive, and social-emotional disabilities. They incorporate sensory play elements, such as textured surfaces, musical instruments, and interactive panels, to engage children with sensory processing disorders. Inclusive playgrounds may also feature quieter, calmer spaces for children who may become overwhelmed in more stimulating environments. The design of inclusive playgrounds considers a variety of disabilities and ensures that children with different abilities can engage in play activities together. Inclusive playgrounds often feature a mix of ground-level play elements, accessible ramps, and elevated play structures with various challenges and sensory experiences. The goal is to create an environment where children of all abilities can enjoy the same play experiences, fostering friendship, empathy, and inclusion. As a specialized playground, the cost is higher than a typical neighborhood playground. The Village has committed $250,000 towards building the playground and is partnering with Michael Schofield III, Kendall Coyne Schofield and the Kendall and Michael Schofield Family Foundation to raise funds in support of the playground. The target goal to build the playground is $746,400. We look forward to the support of community members, businesses and organizations to bring this play environment to life!
