To the Village Board and Citizens of the Village of Alsip:
Formal Transmittal
State law (50 ILCS 310/2 and 50 ILCS 310/4) requires that every general-purpose local government
publish, within either one hundred eighty days or two hundred forty days of the close of each fiscal
year, a complete set of audited financial statements. This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,
or CAFR, is published to fulfill that requirement for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, hereinafter
referred to as FY19.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information
contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has
established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated
benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial
statements are free of any material misstatements.
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, have issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the Village of Alsip’s
financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2019. The independent auditor’s report is located
at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s
report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial
statements. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the Village
x Population
The Village of Alsip is a home rule unit of local government under the Constitution of Illinois of
1970 and was incorporated in 1927. The municipality has a 2018 population of 18,880 as of a
July 1, 2019 United States Census Bureau estimate, and an official population of 19,277
according to the 2010 census.

ii
The Great Recession had a large impact on the Village’s economy, which saw an estimated rise
in Alsip’s unemployment rate from 5.3% (2007) to a decade high of 12.7% (2010). This estimated
unemployment rate has receded to 4.3% (2018), a rate below the rate before the Great Recession
started. This Village unemployment rate is comparable to the 2018 Cook County rate of 4.0%,
the State of Illinois rate of 4.3%, and the nationwide rate of 3.9%.
Median household incomes within the Village of Alsip are in line with both Cook County (the
county in which Alsip is located) and the State of Illinois; According to the United States
Census Bureau’s 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Alsip’s 2013-2017
median household income (in 2017 inflation-adjusted dollars) was $52,432, Cook County’s was
$59,426, and the State of Illinois’ was $61,229.
As a landlocked community, the Village of Alsip’s population has remained relatively stable for
the last thirty years. Despite the consistency of the population, the housing values have
declined during the softening of the housing market nationwide and have not rebounded. The
same Census data shows a 21.2% decline in the median value of an owner-occupied unit from
2010 ($213,300) to 2017 ($167,900). The median price of an owner-occupied unit in 2017 in
Illinois was $195,300, which reflects that in Alsip 48.8% of housing units are 1-unit detached,
while in the State of Illinois 58.9% of such units are 1-unit detached.
x Governmental Structure
The Village of Alsip operates under the Trustee-Village form of government pursuant to the
Illinois Municipal Code, 65 ILCS 5/3.1-25 et. seq. Policy-making and legislative authority are
vested in the governing Village Board consisting of the Village President, often referred to as the
Mayor, and six Trustees, and a Village Clerk. The Village Clerk is an ex officio member of the
Board and does not vote. All Board members are elected at large. All Board members serve
four-year terms, with the Village President, the Village Clerk, and three Trustees elected usually
on the first Tuesday in April following Presidential election year, while the other three Trustees
are usually elected on the first Tuesday in April two years later. Beginning with those elected in
the April 4, 2017 election, no person may hold the office of Village President, Village Clerk, or
Village Trustee for more than three consecutive four-year terms.
x Types and Levels of Services Provided
The Village of Alsip provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection; water
distribution; sanitary and storm sewer collection services; snow removal; traffic control;
building inspections; health inspections; licenses and permits; a website; a cable television
station; and the construction and maintenance of Village owned highways, streets, streetlights,
iii
water lines, sanitary sewer lines, storm sewer lines, and other infrastructure. The Village bills
for and contracts out refuse (garbage) collection.
The Village owns 512 senior housing units in 29 housing buildings spread over two distinct
complexes within the Village. Each complex has a swimming pool, a clubhouse, storage
facilities, laundry facilities, and parking spaces. The Village contracts out the management of
those senior housing complexes.
The Village is responsible for the operation and maintenance of its water pumping facilities and
transmission and distribution mains within the Village only. The Village provides water and
sewer service to its property owners and contracts to provide water service to the City of Palos
Heights and the Village of Crestwood (the Village does not have any responsibility for the
distribution of water within Palos Heights or Crestwood); Lake Michigan water is directly
obtained from the City of Chicago via contract. Sewage treatment is provided to the Village by
the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) of Greater Chicago. The Village is
responsible for the operation and maintenance of its storm and sanitary lift stations and
transmission lines.
To pay for services and other costs not directly covered by service fees, the Village of Alsip is
empowered to levy a property tax on real property located within its boundaries. As a home-
rule community, the Village is also authorized to issue general obligation (G.O.) debt without a
referendum.
Under State of Illinois Statutes, the Village of Alsip was required to establish a Police Pension
Fund to provide disability and retirement benefits to its full-time sworn officers and a separate
Firefighters Pension Fund to provide disability and retirement benefits to its full-time
firefighters. These two public safety pension funds are each managed by a separate five (5)
person Board of Trustees which is comprised of two (2) members elected from active
membership, one (1) member elected from beneficiaries, and two (2) appointed directly by the
Village President. While the Village is required to provide minimum annual contributions
toward funding each defined benefit plan and levies property taxes in excess of that minimum
contribution, the Village Board does not otherwise exercise financial control over either pension
fund. The financial data for each public safety pension fund is separately presented in the
financial statements. No separate financial statements are issued for either public safety
pension fund.
Recreation facilities are mainly provided by the Alsip Park District, a separate unit of local
government, while parts of the Village are served by the Worth Park District. The Village
maintains a small non-recreational park honoring veterans and a separate boat launch facility
iv
into the Calumet Sag Channel. Approximately sixteen (16) different park facilities located
throughout the Village offer a variety of recreational services.
The Village's public education needs are met by School Districts No. 125, 126, 128, or 130, as
well as Community High School District No. 218. The Village is located within Moraine Valley
Community College District No. 524. Library services are provided by the Alsip-Merrionette
Park Library District, a completely separate unit of government from the Village.
The Village Board does not exercise financial control or accountability for any school district,
park district, library district, or other governmental agency that is located with the Village limits
or provides services to Village residents, and accordingly, they are not included in the Village’s
basic financial statements.
x Brief Summary of the Budget Process
Under Illinois statutes, the Village can either elect to operate under a budget ordinance or an
appropriation ordinance. The Village operates under an appropriation ordinance, which does
not require a municipality to prepare a budget, but does require that the Board adopt an
appropriation ordinance within the first quarter of each fiscal year. The fiscal year runs from
May 1st to April 30th of every year, so the appropriation ordinance must be adopted by the
Village Board before August 1st. In FY19 the appropriation ordinance was adopted before the
start of the fiscal year. The appropriation ordinance is double the size of the de facto budget.
This annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village of Alsip’s financial planning and
control. The budget is prepared by fund and department (e.g., police).
x Governmental Funds with an Annual Appropriated Budget
The Village Board budgets for and has legal control over the General Fund, the Debt Service
Fund and the following six special revenue funds: Road & Bridge, TIF 1, NW Corner of Cicero
Avenue and I-294 TIF, 123rd Place and Cicero Avenue TIF, Pulaski Road Corridor TIF, and
Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
x Legal Level of Budgetary Control
The legal level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures may not legally
exceed the established appropriated amount) is set at the fund level.
v
Information Useful in Assessing the Village’s Economic Condition
x Local Economy
The Village is home to approximately 900 businesses, encompassing various segments of
commerce, including retail, service, and manufacturing. These businesses are promoted and
represented by the Chicago Southland Convention and Visitors Bureau (CSCVB), the Alsip
Chamber of Commerce, and the Alsip Industrial Association. This diversity of business and
industry provides a stable economic base, which in turn creates regional employment
opportunities, outstanding municipal services, educational systems, health and human care
agencies, and recreational facilities.
There are many reasons for the strong business environment in the Village, including that the
Village borders the City of Chicago, the Village’s workforce population has the experience for
the types of businesses located in Alsip, the Village offers various economic incentives to
industrial and retail businesses when needed, and there exists strong area transportation
systems for both business and their employees. Both these economic incentives, as well as the
transportation systems that make Alsip a transportation center, are examined in further detail
below.
A. Economic Development
The Village attempts to maintain its existing business while expanding its overall commercial
and industrial base through economic incentives, when deemed necessary and appropriate.
The Village has designated, and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity (DCEO) has certified, the Cal-Sag Enterprise Zone, a portion of which is located in
the Village along the Calumet-Saganashkee Channel. This enterprise zone was established in
1983, initially certified in July of 1985, was expanded in 2005, was renewed and expanded on
January 1, 2016, was amended July 27, 2018 (based upon a Village Board change approved in
July 2016), and will now remain active through December 31, 2030. The Village shares the
renewed and expanded enterprise zone with many municipalities and unincorporated portions
of southern Cook County. Within Alsip the 2016 renewal expanded the enterprise zone to 3.38
square miles and extended it up both Pulaski Road and Cicero Avenue to the northern
boundaries of the Village. Through the enterprise zone program, businesses choosing to locate
in the enterprise zone are entitled to certain tax incentives and targeted assistance. Some of the
incentives that are available, depending upon the nature of the business are: sales tax exemption
for construction materials, investment tax credit, interest benefits, job training funds, local
building permit discounts, and property tax abatement. Industrial properties in the Enterprise
Zone are now included in the new Cook County Growth Zone Program to provide additional
County assistance to develop these sites.
vi
The Village uses tax increment financing (“TIF”) as a tool in attracting business development.
TIFs provide a means for municipalities, after the approval of a "Redevelopment Plan and
Project," to redevelop blighted, conservation or industrial park conservation areas by pledging
the anticipated increase in tax revenues resulting from using new tax revenues generated by
private redevelopment to pay for the public costs incurred to stimulate such private investment
in new development and rehabilitation. Tax Increment Financing is authorized in Illinois by the
Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, as amended. The Village currently has three
active TIF districts, the Pulaski Road Corridor TIF, which essentially covers most of Pulaski
Road between 115th St. and 123rd St., and two smaller TIFs located on the west side of Cicero
Avenue between 123rd Place and I-294. A fourth TIF, TIF 1, expired at the end of 2016.
The Village has at various times utilized other financial tools at its disposal such as property tax
incentives or sales tax rebates to promote economic development when warranted.
The Village is dedicated to responsible economic development that broadens the tax base while
expanding job or retail opportunities to the community. Below lists some of the recent and
potential future actions taken to further those goals:
o As mentioned in the Local Economy section above, with participation from the Village, the
Cal-Sag Enterprise Zone was extended by the State of Illinois in both geographic area and in
the length until expiration. Businesses have already been taking advantage of the
provisions of this enterprise zone.
o On December 31, 2016 TIF 1, which covers part of the area bounded by Kedzie Avenue,
Pulaski Road, 123rd Street and 127th Street, finished its 23 years of operation as defined in
TIF statutes and, thus, terminated. The Village Board on December 19, 2016 adopted a plan
incorporating an anticipated $1 million dollar surplus, to be distributed over time; the
previously approved road resurfacing project within TIF 1; and a transfer of the remaining
$3.9 million to the contiguous Pulaski Road Corridor TIF for development efforts in that
area. To date, the transfer to the Pulaski Road Corridor TIF has happened, the road
resurfacing project finished and came in under budget, and the Village declared an initial
$603,054.29 TIF 1 surplus leaving a balance of $600,000 for property tax refunds and surplus
declarations.
o 2017 saw the remodeling and expansion of the ALDI supermarket on Cicero Avenue. 2018
saw the remodeling and expansion of the ALDI supermarket on Pulaski Road.
o In 2017 and 2018 the Village purchased shuttered business, vacant land, and a business that
will be shutting down within the Pulaski Road Corridor TIF with the intent of demolishing
any existing buildings and combining parcels, performing any necessary environmental
vii
remediation, and preparing the sites for future development. One such demolition has
already occurred.
o In 2016 the Village Board created a Pulaski Road Corridor TIF Façade and Small Business
Grant Program to standardize the application process and to help promote not only new
developments, but to help existing property owning businesses improve their businesses
using TIF eligible expenses. Interest in the program was strong and businesses started
working with the TIF district’s consulting firm to help make redevelopment agreement
(RDA) applications to the Village Board. There were a number of such RDAs approved.
The following is the list of RDAs executed after the start of FY18 or were executed prior to
the start of FY18 but were completed after that date:
o On June 13, 2017 the Village approved a TIF eligible cost sharing RDA for a new
Checkers restaurant within the Pulaski Road Corridor TIF. The restaurant opened on
October 10, 2017.
o On July 10, 2017 the Village approved a TIF eligible cost sharing RDA for a strip mall to
rehabilitate the roof. The project was completed in October 2017.
o On July 24, 2017 the Village approved a TIF eligible cost sharing RDA for rehabilitate the
roof and HVAC systems of a commercial condominium building. The project was
completed November 2017.
o In August 2017 a business completed a parking lot resurfacing from an RDA executed in
FY17.
o On February 5, 2018 the Village entered into an RDA for the development of a $1.3
million retail strip mall anchored by a restaurant tenant on three adjacent parcels that
had been purchased by the TIF. The parcels have not been sold to the developers as of
the writing of this letter.
o On February 19, 2018 the Village approved a TIF eligible cost sharing RDA to
rehabilitate the façade and parking areas of a strip mall.
o On the same date, February 19, 2018, the Village also approved a different RDA to
rehabilitee the façade, the roof, and the parking areas of another strip mall through a
$250,000 TIF reimbursement.
o On August 20, 2018 the Village approved a TIF eligible cost sharing RDA to improve the
parking lot and façade of a local business.
viii
o Currently owners of numerous industrial properties are putting forth multi-million dollar
expansions of existing buildings, refurbishing existing buildings, and/or investing in newer
equipment. Some of these have stated that subsequent to the projects that additional people
will be hired.
B. Transportation Center
The Village, which borders Chicago, has close accessibility to Chicago, the Chicagoland region,
and Indiana via highway, air, rail, water, bicycle, and commuter bus.
Highway Accessibility:
Within the Village Interstate 294 (the “Tri-State Tollway”) diagonally intersects and connects to
a full four-way arterial road interchange. Additionally, the borders of the Village are within ten
(10) miles of I-57, I-80, and I-55 and within twenty (20) miles of I-355, I-88, and I-290.
Air:
The Village is centrally located to both O'Hare Airport, approximately eighteen (18) miles
northwest of the Village, via I-294, and Midway Airport, approximately seven (7) miles north of
the Village along Cicero Avenue which runs through the Village.
Rail:
Commuter rail service is provided by Metra, a division of the Regional Transportation
Authority (RTA). Within two (2) miles of the Village borders there are seven (7) train stations in
four (4) municipalities, covering three (3) different train lines, each terminating at a different
downtown Chicago station. These train lines are the Metra Electric District line terminating at
the Millennium Station, the Rock Island District line terminating at the LaSalle Street Station,
and the Southwest Service line terminating at Union Station.
Rail freight service is supplied by the Indiana Harbor Belt, Baltimore & Ohio, Grand Trunk
Western, Illinois Central, and the CSX lines and is accessible through numerous rail spurs
throughout the Village.
Water, Bicycle, and Bus:
The Calumet Sag Channel, which runs through the Village, allows the barge and recreational
boating access to the Port of Chicago which includes major docks on Lake Calumet. Alongside
the Calumet Sag Channel a bike path starts in Alsip and continues west through Palos Heights,
Palos Park, ending in Lemont. Sections of an eastern section of the trail, which will continue the
trail from Alsip, through Blue Island, Riverdale, and Dolton to Burnham, has begun and, when
completed, is expected to link more than 185,000 people in 14 communities. The Village is also
serviced by the Pace commuter bus service. Additionally, across the street from the Village on
127th St. there is a private commuter shuttle bus service to both regional airports.
ix
x Long-Term Financial Planning
A. Planning Policies and Practices
The Village of Alsip adopted a Comprehensive Plan on April 1, 2013. This concluded a multi-
year process that first produced a July 17, 2012 Existing Conditions Report, which examined
Village-wide issues and opportunities related to land use, economic development, housing,
parks and open space, and community infrastructure. The second phase of planning involved
the public in creating a shared vision for the future of Alsip with specific goals and strategies to
help achieve the desired vision. The Alsip Comprehensive Plan contains several policies and
action steps to help elected and appointed officials plan for the sustainable growth of the
community. The plan addresses a range of topics including but not limited to land use and
development, economic growth, open space programming, infrastructure improvements, and
image and identity. Such planning is a continuous process and in September 2013 the Village’s
Pulaski Road Action Plan was finished and in June of 2014 a Zoning Recommendations
Summary was completed.
The Village has traditionally made both a multi-year capital improvement plan (CIP) and a
multi-year budget. Starting with the FY18 budget, both were expanded to cover five full fiscal
years subsequent to the appropriated fiscal year on a line item basis.
On May 21, 2018 the Village Board passed the Sustainable Retiree Defined Benefit Funding Plan.
This plan not only established the financial policies necessary to fully fund by the end of April
2040 all three Village pension plans and retiree healthcare promises, but dedicated the specific
funding sources necessary to meet that self-imposed mandate. See the Major Initiatives > A.
Debt Management section below for details.
B. Long-Term Financial Goals
The Village has two long-term goals: the reduction of debt and the replacement of aging
infrastructure. Both goals are detailed in the Major Initiatives section below.
x Relevant Financial Policies
The Village has put into place several key written policies such as a purchasing policy and an
investment policy. These policies have been passed by the Village Board and, in conjunction
with financial procedures instituted by management, have formalized the long-standing
practices and principles that have guided the Village for decades.
x
x Major Initiatives
A. Debt Management
Since early 2015 the Village has worked to reduce and ultimately eliminate its long-term general
obligation (G.O.) and retiree benefit related debts. Some of these efforts include:
o The paying down, refunding, or advance refunding of almost all G.O. debt. In the four
(4) subsequent tax year levies since early 2015 the annual G.O. payments:
On bonds have decreased 51.4%, or $1,511,360, and the portion that was not abated
(i.e. that a levy was needed to pay) decreased 86.7%, or $945,702; and
On installment contract payments for vehicles, equipment, and LED lighting have
decreased 69.4%, or $217,639.
o The tightening of the eligibility requirements of who qualifies for the Illinois Municipal
Retirement Fund (IMRF) and the Village’s other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan;
o The launch a wellness program, a workplace injury reduction program, a transitional
light-duty work program, and a high-deductible healthcare plan, all in an effort to keep
employees and retirees healthy, thus reducing potential sick and FMLA leave, worker’s
compensation payments, duty disability payments, PSEBA payments, and future OPEB
liabilities;
o The transition of 100% of OPEB eligible and Medicare eligible retirees and retiree spouses
to a Medicare wrap program, thus lowering OPEB costs and liabilities; and
o The initiation of various efforts to temper the rise in healthcare costs.
o In December 2017 the Village Board approved an increase of 30.00% in the Village’s 2017
tax year (TY17) aggregate property tax levy, with operations receiving none of the
increase and almost all of the increase dedicated to meeting the public safety pensions’
actuarially determined contributions (ADCs) and reducing the OPEB’s deficit. The fire
pension specific levy was increased by 26.21% ($452,649), the police pension specific levy
was increased by 36.31% ($950,979), and the indirect OPEB levy was increased by
605.53% ($1,705,738) from TY16’s original OPEB indirect levy. This TY17 levy increase
was in addition to increases in the public safety pension levies of 6.91% in TY16 and
5.00% in TY15. The TY17 levy was not only the second year in which no additional levy
increase went to operations, but also marks the first time that the direct (public safety
pension) and indirect (OPEB) retiree benefit levies exceeded the combined operations and
xi
general obligation bond levies. While TY18 did see operational increases to the levy,
again the retiree benefit levies exceeded the combined operations and general bond
levies.
o As mentioned in the Long-Term Financial Planning > A. Planning Policies and Practices
section above, on May 21, 2018 the Village Board passed the Sustainable Retiree Defined
Benefit Funding Plan (“the Plan”), which created policy designed to meet the standards
of The Center for State and Local Government Excellence’s July 2013 Pension Task Force.
The five sub-bullet points below detail the Pension Task Forces’ five general policy
directives and how the Plan met those directives.
Actuarially Determined Contributions: All sustainable retiree defined benefit policies
should be based upon an appropriate actuarially determined contribution (ADC).
The Plan requires the Village and the public safety boards to annually commission
from an actuary one report that meets GAAP standards for municipal government
reporting and a second one that creates an ADC which is based upon the best
actuarial practices for funding. The Plan requires that a similar pair of actuarial
reports is made for OPEB on either a biennial fiscal year basis (GAAP minimum
period) or annually. The Plan then goes on to detail the specific actuarial
assumptions, most notably that all three plans will now have the same amortization
period (April 30, 2040) and a reduction in the long-term rate of return on assets to
6.50%.
Funding Discipline: All sustainable retiree defined benefit policies should contain
both the commitment to fund the collective ADCs as well as build in sufficient fiscal
commitments necessary to meet that ADC funding commitment. The Plan met this
directive through: making a specific commitment to fund the collective ADCs of all
four plans (including IMRF) in an efficient manner; a commitment to manage any
potential growth in retiree liabilities; and to direct a level of duties, ethical, and
investing standards from the independent boards managing the retiree assets. The
Plan then went further than most by specifically identifying, in detail, specific
funding sources, as well as possible alternative sources if necessary, to meet the
collective ADCs.
Intergenerational Equity: All sustainable retiree defined benefit policies should
maintain intergeneration equity by having the cost of employee benefits be paid for
by the generation of taxpayers who received the services of those employees.
Liabilities had been allowed to accumulate over time, partially from unfunded state
mandates of retroactive new benefits. While intergenerational equity is not possible
xii
with such large prior liabilities, the Plan moved strongly in the direction of
intergenerational equity by standardizing the amortization periods of the retiree
benefit plans, adding layers each year that had separate fifteen (15) year layers
starting in FY18, and by providing the funding to meet the ADCs on an annual basis.
Contributions as a Level Percentage of Payroll: All sustainable retiree defined benefit
policies should make employer costs a consistent percentage of payroll over time.
The Plan mandates that for both the GASB/GAAP compliant reports and the funding
reports determining the ADCs, the Entry Age Normal with level percentage of
payroll, actuarial cost method be used.
Accountability and Transparency: All sustainable retiree defined benefit policies
should require clear reporting to show how and when retiree defined benefit plans
will be fully funded. The Plan commits the Village to: open meetings when
discussing retirement benefit funding policy changes; posting relevant materials of
the Village website; and reviewing the actuarial assumptions in the Plan at least every
five years and allowing the Finance Director to make necessary changes between such
reviews.
The Village maintains a Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, a part of McGraw-Hill Financial,
Inc., (“S&P”) rating of AA (Stable Outlook), a rating higher than the national average. As there
are no outstanding general obligation (G.O.) bonds rated by any other rating agency, there are
no current ratings from any other rating agency.
B. Infrastructure Replacement and Improvement
The Village of Alsip residents and businesses can best be provided water and sanitary sewer
services by a self-sustaining water enterprise that is adequately financed with rates and charges
based on sound accounting, engineering, financial, and economic principles. Revenues from
water and sewer rates and user fees should be sufficient to enable the water and sewer
departments to provide for the full cost of service including:
o Annual operation and maintenance expenses
o Capital costs (e.g., debt service and other capital outlays)
o Adequate working capital and required reserves
Full-cost pricing, i.e., charging rates and fees that reflect the full cost of providing water and
wastewater services, should include renewal and replacement costs for treatment, storage,
distribution, and collection (sewer) systems. For some time now, the Village has kept water
rates low by minimizing or ignoring these costs; however, as the useful lives of system assets
xiii
draw to a close, we have recently addressed the current and future financial needs of the water
system by increasing rates to cover replacement costs.
Similarly, other Village infrastructure assets, specifically roads, storm sewers, and ditches were
not been properly maintained for many years and the Village Board has started to address that
deficiency. The main sources for such funding come from user fees and taxes that go into two
separate special revenue funds: the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Fund and the Road & Bridge Fund.
The MFT Fund is entirely funded from a state-wide gasoline tax that is distributed to
municipalities on a per capita basis. The Road & Bridge Fund composes of three departments
(Streets, Drainage, and Forestry) and is primarily funded by an annual vehicle license sticker, a
locally imposed and collected fuel tax, and a specific property tax levy.
Revenues:
Rather than rising with inflation or allowing for increasing revenue to offset these mandates, tax
dollars to the Village from the State’s traditional motor fuel tax (MFT), which can be used for
street maintenance, declined 14.1%, or $80,170 per year, over the dozen years through FY19.
Due to population that is declining only slightly, but at a larger rate than the State of Illinois as a
whole, and due to increasing fuel efficiency standards and technological innovations (electric
and hybrid vehicles, for example), this decline in traditional MFT payments is likely to continue
over the following decades.
Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year (FY19) audited in this report, the State of Illinois
reversed the decreasing state shared revenue for road work when it passed Senate Bill 1938.
From the section that impacts municipalities, this bill doubled the tax on gasoline from nineteen
(19) cents to thirty-eight (38) cents per gallon, effective July 1, 2019. Of this new tax 15.71%, or
almost three (3) cents per gallon is to be distributed through a new Transportation Renewal
Fund to municipalities’ MFT funds on a per capita basis. On September 10, 2019 the Village
MFT fund received its first monthly payment in the amount of $28,725 from this new
Transportation Renewal Fund.
Starting in late 2015 the Village Board began implementing the following rate and fee structures
which were designed to increase the pace of maintaining the Village’s infrastructure assets:
o On October 19, 2015 the Village Board raised the locally collected fuel tax from $0.04 to
$0.05 per gallon. In FY19 this tax collected over $1.4 million for the Village’s Road &
Bridge (R&B) fund.
o On February 15, 2016 the Village Board raised the locally collected vehicle sticker fee for
the first time in eight years. Additionally, the ordinance indexed the fees so that there
xiv
would not be any future gap between cost increases and fee adjustments. The R&B fund
collected just over $425,000 in FY19 from these fees.
o In February 2016 the water department completed a water rate analysis that determined
it was necessary to increase water rates to facilitate needed capital improvements to the
water distribution system. The Village Board subsequently passed an 18.3% water rate
increase, effective May 1, 2016. The same Village ordinance for the four (4) subsequent
years built in the anticipated City of Chicago wholesale rate increases plus a modest
$0.25/1000 gallons per year increase for maintenance of the Village’s system. Larger
industrial businesses also saw an increase. The two wholesale customers, the Village of
Crestwood and the City of Palos Heights, were not covered under this ordinance.
o The Village approved the new water supply contracts with the Village of Crestwood and
City of Palos Heights the on January 9, 2017 and May 15, 2017, respectively. The Village
of Alsip had not been making the required “costs of operation” adjustments as described
in the proceeding contracts, effectively not recouping the total associated costs of
providing the water supply to those municipalities. These new contracts simplified those
calculations and, during a four-year phase-in, brought the rates up (respectively 8.4%,
4.7%, 4.5%, and the final year to be determined) to the rate necessary to cover those costs
starting on June 1, 2020. In FY19 the Village sold $5,248,840 in total water to these
municipalities.
o In December 2017 the Village Board levied a tax year 2017 (TY17) Road & Bridge property
tax increase of 30.9% or $165,431, some for OPEB obligations and some for capital
expenditures.
o There have been preliminary open meeting discussions with the Village Board about
raising sewer rates to keep pace with sewer system maintenance. To date the Village
Board has not changed those rates since April 1, 2007.
o There have been no discussions with the Village Board to date about establishing a storm
sewer utility to fund drainage projects through fees rather than tax dollars.
Projects and Other Expenses:
Below are some of the capital improvement projects that have been planned and/or completed
due to the increased rates, fees, and taxes listed above.
o IEPA loan (Keeler/Tripp) – Started September 2017, completed April 2018. Replaced 5380
feet of water main of various sizes ranging from 6 inch to 12 inch. This project was
completed to eliminate old sections of water main that routinely failed and had poor fire
xv
protection performance.
Construction cost - $1,386,229
Engineering cost - $234,000
Total - $1,620,229
o Rte. 83 (Tinley Creek) water main relocation – January 2018. The Illinois Department of
Transportation has directed the Village to relocate this water main to facilitate the
widening of the intersection at 127th St. and Rte. 83. Initially planned for spring of 2018,
IDOT has postponed this project multiple times. It is now scheduled for the spring of
2020. The Village has entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City
of Palos Heights to share the costs of relocating this water main.
Construction cost - $1,168,978
Engineering cost - $184,795
Total - $1,353,773
o Pulaski TIF water main (117th St. – 120th St.) - June 2018, completed May 2019. Replaced
2240 feet of 8-inch water main. Note that 75% of the expense was from the Pulaski Road
Corridor TIF and 25% was from the Water & Sewer Fund.
Construction cost - $524,741
Engineering cost - $90,300
Total - $615,041
o Pulaski TIF water main (119th St. – 120th St.) – Approved Sep 2019. 840-foot extension of
8-inch water main to facilitate fire protection needs and water quality improvements.
Note that 75% of the expense was from the Pulaski Road Corridor TIF and 25% was from
the Water & Sewer Fund.
Construction cost - $402,541
Engineering cost - $48,305
Total - $450,846
o Water Tower Rehabilitation – Approved Oct 2019. The repainting of two 1-million gallon
water storage tanks has been approved. This maintenance work will ensure the
continued long service life of this asset.
Construction cost - $1,639,800
Engineering cost - $82,850
Total - $1,722,650
Water main replacement will continue to be an ongoing capital need as fully 25% of the
distribution system has reached the end of its design lifecycle. Future projects may include
xvi
those designed to extend the useful life of water main through water main rehabilitation and
lining and/or the installation of cathodic protection systems where appropriate.
Below are the costs for road resurfacing and the sanitary inflow/infiltration control sewer
inspections (MWRD unfunded mandate). The Village of Alsip is one of four out of all
municipalities in Cook County that is compliant with this mandate at this time.
Both resurfacing & MWRD IICP are annual costs that need to be appropriated, for which based
on current figures would be estimated at minimum $600,000 each year for each program.
o Resurfacing:
FY18:
Construction - $491,977.62
Engineering - $59,133.26
Total - $551,110.88
FY19:
Construction - $234,207.77
Engineering - $31,340.47
Total - $265,548.24
FY20:
Construction - $574,496.30 (Estimated)
Engineering - $61,900.00 (Estimated)
Total - $636,396.30 (Estimated)
o I&I Program (FY18 & FY19):

Engineering - $16,000.00
Total - $100,736.51
Manhole Inspections
Engineering - $43,000.00
Smoke Testing
Engineering - $49,000.00
External Home Inspections
Engineering - $39,000.00
Lift Station Inspections
xvii
Engineering - $5,000.00
o MWRD High Priority CIPP (Inversion lining) (2019 - 20) (Costs Estimated)
Construction - $373,000.00
Engineering - $52,220.00
Total - $425,220.00
Storm sewer drainage project costs for future years have not yet been determined but will be
looking to appropriate for future budget appropriations approximately $350,000 each year for
improvements.
Infrastructure Replacement and Improvement Summary:
The Village possesses ninety (90) miles of water mains, over thirteen hundred (1,300+) fire
hydrants, two (2) pumping stations, two (2) water towers that can contain six million two
hundred thousand (6,200,000) gallons of water, fifty-nine (59) miles of sanitary sewers, three (3)
lift stations, fifty-one (51 miles) of storm sewers, fifty-five (55) miles of streets, and twelve
hundred fifty-five (1,255) street lights. The Village will continue to look for ways to replace and,
in some instances, improve these aging infrastructure assets.
Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Village of Alsip for its
comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. In order to
be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the government had to publish an easily readable and
efficiently organized CAFR that satisfied both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable program requirements. A Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting is valid for a period of one year only. However, we believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program’s
requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
Before thanking those at the Village of Alsip, a special acknowledgement is being made for
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), the Village’s consistent audit firm for a generation. CLA has been a
good partner with the Village in reducing potential internal control issues and in improving the
audit though both in helping to implement accounting standard changes over the years and in
helping the Finance Department in the process of turning that audit into a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting awarded CAFR. Nevertheless, the Village strives
to keep up with best practices. Therefore, in September 2019, by issuing an audit services request for
xviii
proposals and qualifications, the Village Board adopted the GFOA’s 2019 Best Practice: Audit
Procurement document’s recommendation which states, “Governmental entities should undertake a full-
scale competitive process for the selection of independent auditors at the end of the term of each audit contract,
consistent with applicable legal requirements.” Through this process the Village will switch to BKD, LLP
for audit years beginning FY20. Again, all of the hard work of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP audit staff
over the many years working with the Village has been much appreciated.
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the skill, effort, and dedication
of the entire staff of the Finance Department, including those in the Information Technologies area.
We wish to thank all government departments for their assistance in providing the data necessary
to prepare this report. Credit also is due to the Board of Trustees for their unfailing support for
maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the Village of Alsip’s
finances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and Trustees
Village of Alsip, Illinois
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Alsip,
Illinois (the “Village”),as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial
statements,which collectively comprise the entity’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditors’Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity’s internal control.Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
The Honorable Mayor and Trustees
Village of Alsip, Illinois

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village as of April 30, 2019, and the respective
changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary
comparison for the General Fund, and the Road and Bridge Fund, for the year then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, the schedules of employer contributions –pension plans, and schedule of
changes in the employer’s net pension liability and related ratios, schedule of changes in the employer’s
net OPEB liability and related ratios, schedule of investment returns, notes to required supplementary
information be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not
a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in
an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures
to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses
to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Village’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual
fund financial statements, schedule of insurance coverage, property tax levies and collections extended
by funds and assessed valuation, and statistical section as listed in the table of contents are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The consolidated year-end financial report and the combining and individual fund financial statements
are the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and
certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund
financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
as a whole.
The Honorable Mayor and Trustees

The introductory section, schedule of insurance coverage, property tax levies and collections extended
by funds and assessed valuation, and statistical section,have not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.
We have also previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, the Village’s basic financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2018,
which are not presented with the accompanying financial statements and we expressed unmodified
opinions on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information in our report dated
December 18, 2018. The audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial
statements that collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as a whole. The combining
and individual fund financial statements, related to the 2018 financial statements, are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the 2018 basic financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of those basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or
to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining
and individual fund financial statements information related to the April 30, 2018 financial statements is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements from which they have
been derived.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
October 25, 2019,on our consideration of the Village's internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters.The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering the Village’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
April 30, 2019

As the management of the Village of Alsip, Illinois (the “Village”), we offer readers of the
Village’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the Village’s financial
activities for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019 (FY19). This discussion and analysis is
designed to (1) assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, (2) provide an
overview of the Village’s financial activities, (3) identify changes in the Village’s financial position
(its ability to address the next and subsequent year challenges), (4) identify any material
deviations from the financial plan (the approved budget), and (5) identify individual fund issues
or concerns.
We encourage readers to consider information presented here in conjunction with the Village’s
financial statements which begin on page 20.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
!The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Village of Alsip did not exceed its
liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Specifically, there was a (negative)
net position of $(29,984,880). Of this amount, $(65,155,356) represents unrestricted net
position.
!The Village’s (negative) total net position was $(29,984,880) an increase of $5,741,307,
or 16%, over the end of FY18 (negative) net position of $(35,726,187). The (negative)
governmental activities net position was $(61,470,246), an increase from the net
position of $(62,189,489) at the end of FY18; This entire increase, was due to a
$5,466,708 increase in cash held for insurance and related expenditures, mainly related
to other postemployment benefits (OPEB), or deferred outflow of resources on OPEB.
The positive business-type activities net position was $31,485,366, a increase from the
net position of $26,463,302 at the end of FY18; This increase is a mainly a result of (1)
the write-off of a liability, and (2) timing differences between collection of business-type
fees for services (i.e. water billing and Heritage senior housing rents) and capital
projects.
!As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Village’s governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of positive $29,259,446, an increase of $4,912,283, or
20.0%, in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 46% of this amount, or
$13,380,093, is available for spending at the government’s discretion (unassigned fund
balance)and, as such, may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
!At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance (the total of the
committed, assigned, and unassigned components of fund balance) for the general fund
was $22,457,752, or approximately 94.0% of total general fund expenditures.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATMENTS
The focus of the financial statements is on both the Village as a whole (government-wide) and
on the major individual funds. Both perspectives (government-wide and major fund) allow the
user to address relevant questions, broaden a basis for comparison (year-to-year or
government-to-government), and enhance the Village’s accountability.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad
overview of the Village’s finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the Village’s assets, deferred
outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between
the two reported as net position. This statement combines and consolidates governmental
fund’s current financial resources (short-term, spendable resources) with capital assets and
long-term obligations using the accrual basis of accounting which maintains its measurement
focus on economic resources rather than spendable financial resources. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the
Village is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information on how the Village’s net positions have
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as
the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result
in cash flows in future periods (e.g. earned but unused employee leave time). The Statement of
Activities also reports the extent to which various expenses for governmental or business-type
functions are dependent upon user-charges, grant sources, or general tax and other revenues.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village which are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
those functions which are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through
user-fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities reflect the
Village’s basic services, including general government, finance, police, fire, civil defense, road
and bridge, health and welfare, and economic development. Shared state sales tax, property
taxes, real estate taxes, and shared state income taxes finance the majority of these services.
The business-type activities reflect private sector type operations water, sewer, storm water
management and senior housing where the charges for service typically cover all or most of the
cost of operation, including depreciation.
Fund Financial Statements
Traditional users of governmental financial statements will find the fund financial statements
presentation more familiar. A fund is an accountability unit used to maintain control over
resources segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Village uses funds to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related laws and regulations. Within the basic financial
statements, fund financial statements focus on the Village’s most significant funds rather than
the Village as a whole. Major funds are separately reported while all others are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for non-major funds is provided in the form
of combining statements in a later section of this report.

Governmental Funds. The governmental major funds are reported in the fund financial
statements and encompass essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities
in the government-wide financial statements. However, governmental fund statements report
short-term fiscal accountability focusing on the use of spendable resources and balances of
spendable resources available at the end of the year. They are useful in evaluating annual
financing requirements of governmental programs and the commitment of spendable resources
for the near-term. The government-wide financial statements provide a long-term view. These
two perspectives can provide insight into the long-term impact of short-term financing decisions.
Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances reconcile the differences between these two
perspectives.
The Village adopts an annual appropriated budget for and has control over the following
governmental funds: the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund and the following three special
revenue funds: Road and Bridge Fund, Motor Fuel Tax (MFT), and the Special Tax allocation
(which contains the following four TIFs: TIF 1 (no longer active, but with fund balance), NW
Corner of Cicero Avenue and I-294 TIF, 123rd Place and Cicero Avenue TIF, and the Pulaski
Road Corridor TIF). Budgetary comparison statements have been provided for these funds to
demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 22 and 23 of this
report.
Proprietary Funds. The Village maintains no internal service funds. As for the other type of
proprietary funds, the Village maintains enterprise funds to account for its water, sewer, and
senior housing activities. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as
business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements and use the economic
resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting, similar to private-sector
businesses.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate
information for the water, sewer, and senior housing funds.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 26 through 30 of this
report.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of
parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide
financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the
Village’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for
proprietary funds. The Village maintains two fiduciary funds which account for the resources of
the Alsip Police and Fire Pension Funds.
The fiduciary funds financial statements can be found on pages 31 and 32 of this report.

Net position may serve over time as one useful indicator of a government’s financial condition.
The Village’s net position for both the governmental activities and the total primary government
overall became negative with the implementation of GASB Statements No. 68 (pension debt)
and No. 75 (OPEB debt).
The liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of the Village exceeded assets and deferred
outflows of resources, or net position, at the close of the fiscal year by a negative $29,984,880,
an increase of $5,741,307 from the negative $35,726,187 net position in the prior fiscal year.
A large portion of total assets reflects the Village’s investment in capital assets (land, streets,
water mains, sewers, building, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt that was used
to acquire those assets. The Village uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Village’s
investment in its capital assets is reported net of debt, it should be noted that the resources
needed to repay that debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets cannot
be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Restricted net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they
may be used. Governmental restricted assets include debt service, motor fuel tax funds for the
maintenance of roadways, asset forfeiture funds, and drug prevention funds used for public
safety/education. The increase in restricted assets for governmental activities was primarily due
to an increase in monies restricted for special purposes.
Unrestricted net position for governmental activities, the part of net position that can be used to
finance day to day operations had a balance of $(78,924,319) compared with a balance of
$(80,789,319), in the previous year. The increase is attributed to the current assets that have
been assigned under GASB Statement No. 54 for “insurance premiums, claims, and related
expenditures”, mainly for retiree healthcare (OPEB).
Changes in Net Position (from the Statement of Activities)
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, revenue from all sources totaled $51,099,627.
Governmental revenue accounted for $31,833,071 of that total, while business-type activities
accounted for $19,266,556. Expenses for all functions totaled $45,358,320 with $30,679,678 for
governmental activities, and $14,678,642 for business-type activities.
The Village of Alsip’s overall net position increased $5,741,307 from prior fiscal year. Reasons
for the changes in the overall financial position are discussed in the following sections for
governmental activities and business-type activities.

General government expenses are also accounted for in the General Fund and include the
Administration, Finance, Village Clerk, and Boat Launch departments, as well as the Planning
Commission, the Police & Fire Commission, insurances coverages, Social Security, and the
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) pension plan. Total general government expenses
were $3,032,325, or 9.9%, of all governmental expenses in FY19.
Business-type Activities
For the Village of Alsip’s business-type activities (water, sewer, and senior housing), the
results for FY19 were an increase in net position of $5,022,064, or 20.5%, to an overall ending
net position of $29,558,678. $1,530,434 of that difference was due to a Village Board
resolution derecognizing a water liability posted over a decade before for which there were a
lack of records supporting the liability. In FY19 the Village Board also authorized that the
Pulaski Road Corridor TIF pay a portion of a water line replacement, which necessitated a
$434,150 transfer to the Water & Sewer Fund from the Tax Allocation Fund. FY19 saw an
annual water rate increase, which was the major influence in the $405,165 increase in water
charges for service. FY18, and not FY19, had final payments for the Series 2007 bond and
the Series 2009A BAB bond, both which had both been partially defeased by the Series 2017
bond; Similarly, FY18 saw additional costs associated with those transactions.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
As noted earlier, the Village of Alsip uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the Village of Alsip’s governmental funds is to provide
information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such
information is useful in assessing the Village of Alsip’s financing requirements. In particular,
unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources
available for discretionary use as they represent the portion of fund balance which has not yet
been limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external party, the Village of Alsip itself,
or a group or individual that has been delegated authority to assign resources for use for
particular purposes by the Village of Alsip’s Board of Trustees.
At April 30, 2019, the Village of Alsip’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of
$29,259,446, an increase of $4,912,283 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 45.7%
of this amount ($13,380,093) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for
spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is either
nonspendable, restricted, committed, or assigned to indicate that it is 1) not in spendable form
($255,459), 2) legally required to be maintained intact or restricted for particular purposes
through creditor imposed requirements, constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation
($6,546,235), 3) committed for particular purposes ($0), or 4) assigned for particular purposes
($9,077,659).
General Fund - The General Fund is the Village’s primary operating fund and the largest
source of day-to-day service delivery. Table 3 presents a summary of General Fund revenues
and other financing sources for the year ended April 30, 2019.

The Village of Alsip’s 2018 Tax Year (TY18) Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) for property
taxes payable in 2019 was $563,629,340, a decrease of 3.0% from the TY17 EAV of
$580,856,755. Despite the second year in a row of an EAV increases, due a nationwide
decrease in property values and an EAV lag in reporting of those values, the Village’s EAV is
still below the 2008 Tax Year EAV high of $801,937,100, cumulatively declining 29.7% during
that decade.
The average Village property tax rate has increased in TY18 to 2.347 from the prior tax year
rate of 2.222. Through FY19 collections from TY18 were $6,452,629, or 48.8%, of the
$13,229,381 levied and collections from the prior tax year were $11,957,435, or 92.6% of the
$12,907,318 levied in TY17. Real estate taxes contribute approximately 43.2% of the General
Fund revenue.
Sales tax revenue of $6,590,111, which accounts for 83.6% of “Other taxes”, continues to be
the second largest source of revenue for the General Fund. Other taxes accounted for
$7,881,452, or 27.1%, of General Fund revenue, which was an increase of 0.5% from prior
year. The Village continues to try to diversify its tax base and encourage reinvestment by
utilizing economic development tools available to it, such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
districts, an enterprise zone, and tax rebates when financially appropriate and applicable.
Income Tax Revenue (part of Intergovernmental), the General Fund’s third largest source of
revenue at 11.9%, came in at $3,457,400, showing an increase of $802,264, or 30.2%, from the
prior year.
Police and court fines increased $223,933, or 25.5%, as a result increased police activity in the
community.
The Village of Alsip charges residents for refuse on their monthly utility bill. Revenue for this
service is recorded in the General Fund as Charges for Service. The Village traditionally has
subsidized this service (i.e. charges for service was lower than the cost of the independent
waste hauler). In FY17, the Village passed an ordinance that gradually increased the charges
for service from September 5, 2016 until January 1, 2023 at which point revenues would cover
costs. Charges for services was $833,052 an increase of $81,435, or 10.8%, over the prior year.

Overall General Fund general government expenditures in FY19 decreased $691,397, or
25.5%, from FY18. The decrease is a result of a legal settlement that occurred at the end of the
prior year.
Public Safety accounted for 70.2% of General Fund expenditures. The primary increase in
public safety expenditures was for salaries and personnel benefits, most notably pension
contributions. Healthcare costs are currently reflected in the insurance category.
The Village provides health insurance to its employees and their families. In addition, the Village
provides explicit health insurance promises of coverage to many of its retirees, doing so entirely
on a pay-as-you go basis, although the Village is looking to set up an OPEB Trust. Insurance
costs, the second largest category of General Fund costs at 14.9%, decreased $652,751, or
15.5%, due to decreased claim activity.
General Fund Debt Service decreased $34,737, or 32.3%, from the prior fiscal year.

The Village General Fund in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is shown in
comparison to the original and final budget. The revenues were conservatively budgeted and
actual was $5,679,548 or 24.7% higher. The expenditures were $579,697, or 2.3%, lower than
the final budget.
Other Major Governmental Fund: Road & Bridge Fund
Once again, the Road and Bridge Fund does not meet the two quantitative criteria in one of four
categories for inclusion as a major fund. GASB Statement #34, paragraph 76 provides a
qualitative criterion for inclusion, specifically a fund can be included as a major fund if “…the
government’s official believe [the fund] is particularly important to financial statement users (for
example, because of public interest or consistency).” Management has elected to include this
fund as a major fund under this criterion for consistency, as it meets both 5% criteria for
revenues and expenditures and in future years could meet either category’s 10% criteria.

Year (TY17) was increased by $165,431 and the TY18 levy was increased $17,500, both to
account for increased actuarial contributions to retiree healthcare (OPEB) and for capital.

As for expenditures in the Road & Bridge Fund, there are three separate departments: Streets,
Drainage, and Forestry. Within the Streets Department, the delay of delivery of a dump truck
ordered in FY18, but delivered in FY19 meant that FY19 saw the purchase of two (2) dump
trucks, at a total cost of $233,546, to begin replacing five (5) dump trucks and a utility truck in
the Road & Bridge fund over what had originally been scheduled to be a six (6) year process.
The Streets Department saw an OPEB contribution beginning in FY18 at $34,569, which
increased to $96,200 in FY19. Within the Drainage Department, which includes storm sewers
and ditches, FY18 saw large projects replacing storm sewer at 119th Street ($104,476), but
FY19 saw no such large projects. Within the Forestry Department, FY19 saw the purchase of a
new Flair mower tractor attachment ($45,000), a continuation of the pruning program, and the
continuation of removal of stumps and replacement of trees due to the elimination of Village Ash
trees due to the Ash Borer infestation from prior years.
Additional information about the Road & Bridge fund infrastructure projects can be found in the
Letter of Transmittal under the Major Initiatives > B. Infrastructure Replacement and
Improvement section.
The Village Road and Bridge Fund in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is shown in
comparison to the original and final budget. The revenues were conservatively budgeted and
actual was $52,208 or 1.7% lower. The expenditures were $518,137, or 18.3%, lower than the
final budget.
Business-type Activities
The Enterprise Funds include Water/Sewer Fund and Senior Citizen Complex Funds. Business-
type activities posted total operating revenues of $19,174,690, while the cost and net transfers
in of all business-type activities totaled $14,152,627.
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, operating revenues for the business-type activities
totaled $19,174,690, an increase of $1,415,669, or 8.0%, mainly due to a write off of a
$1,530,434 liability that had been on the books for many years without documented proof of the
liability (see Village Resolution No. 2019-02-R-1).

The audited statements of the business-type funds include depreciation, as well as transfers
to/from other funds, and non-operating costs such as loss on disposal of property, building, and
equipment, bond issuance costs, the amortization of any bond premium and/or discount, and
interest income. Without these transfers and expenses, the water and sewer and senior citizen
complex funds had operating income of $6,377,705. However, with depreciation of $1,568,169
and non-operating expenses and transfers in of negative $212,527, the increase in net position
totaled $5,022,063.
In FY18 and FY19 the senior housing complexes saw the usual upgrades to the kitchens and
baths of apartments after residents moved out before they were rented again, as well as annual
capital maintenance such as sealcoating the parking lots.
Water rate increases and Water & Sewer fund projects can be found in the Letter of Transmittal

VILLAGE OF ALSIP'S CAPITAL ASSETS
The Village’s governmental capital assets and business-type capital assets decreased $351,103
and $2,254,611, respectively, for a net increase of $1,903,508 before depreciation during FY19.
Additional detail regarding capital assets may be seen in the notes to the financial statements-

Long-term debt
At the end of the fiscal year, the Village had total bonded debt outstanding of $12.2 million.
$232,239 of the 2018 tax year (TY18) property tax levy was for debt payments. The other
funding for outstanding debt is from revenues from the following funds: the senior citizen
housing complexes (housing rents), Water and Sewer (water rates and sewer rates), and Road
& Bridge (fuel taxes and vehicle fees) and to the extent that these payments are from G.O.
bonds the bonds are abated to reflect these other funding sources. As a home rule government,
under Illinois law, the Village does not have a legal debt limit, except that any debt issue may
not exceed a 40-year payment period. Additional information involving long-term debt can be
found in the notes to the financial statements-Note 4E. Long-term debt.

Discussion of Currently Known Facts, Decisions, or Conditions of Future Significance
On July 29, 2019 the Village Board replaced its red light camera vendor. The prior red light
camera vendor removed their cameras in August 2019. As of the date of this audit, a contract
with the replacement vendor has not been signed. It is anticipated that replacing new cameras
will take one to two years. In FY19 the Village General Fund received $753,552 from red light
cameras.
Additional facts, decisions, or conditions that are both currently known as of the date of the
independent auditors’ report, including efforts in recent years to fund operations, encourage
economic development, replace infrastructure, reduce general obligation or retiree benefit debt,
or contain healthcare costs can be found within the Letter of Transmittal in the Introductory
Section of this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
For FY19 and FY20 through the date of the independent auditor’s report, there are no additional
facts, decisions, or conditions which are expected to have significant effect on financial position
or results of operations not contained in that letter.

RECONCILIATION OF T+E STATE0ENT OF REVENUES, E;PENDITURES,
AND C+ANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERN0ENTAL FUNDS
TO T+E STATE0ENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the Year Ended April 30, 2019
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities
(page 22) are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (page 22)4,912,283
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. +owever,
in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated
over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
This is the amount by which capital outlays, 776,290 were exceeded
by depreciation, 1,146,436, in the current period. (370,147)
The effect of miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets
(i.e. sales and trade-ins) is to decrease net position by the undepreciated
balance of the capital assets. 26,037
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. This amount
represents the current year effect of these timing differences.(1,201,581)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, loans) provides current
financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the
principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on

similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are
deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. This amount is the
net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term and related items. 613,458
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2019

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Village of Alsip (the “Village”) was incorporated in 1927 and operates under a Mayor-
Trustee form of government. The Village provides the following services as authorized by its
Charter: public safety (police and fire), highways and streets, sanitation, health and social
services, culture recreation, education, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general
administrative services. The Village has an April 30 fiscal year-end.
The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
A.Principles used to determine the scope of the reporting entity
The Village has adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 14, The Financial
Reporting Entity, and GASB Statement No. 61, The Financial Reporting Entity; Omnibus.
Under these pronouncements, the definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on the
notion of financial accountability. A primary government is financially accountable for the
organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally
separate organizations,if its officials appoint a voting majority of an organization’s
governing body and,either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a
potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or to impose specific
financial burdens on, the primary government. Blended component units, although legally
separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government’s operations. A primary
government may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations that are
fiscally dependent on it.
The Village’s reporting entity includes the Village’s governing board. There are no related
organizations for which the Village is financially accountable.
B.Government-wide and fund financial statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the
Statement of Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary
government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities,which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities,which
rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that
are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include:
1)charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods,
services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment,and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2019

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
B.Government-wide and fund financial statements (continued)
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major enterprise funds are reported
as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C.Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property
taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are budgeted. Grants and
similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by
the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered
to be available when they are collectible within the current period. For this purpose, the
Village considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 120 days of the end
of the current fiscal period. The policy for recognizing property tax collections as revenues
of the current fiscal year is 60 days. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is
incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded
only when payment is due.
Franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the
current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and
available only when cash is received by the Village.
Property taxes are recognized as a receivable and deferred inflows of resources at the time
they are levied and the current taxes receivable represent the 2018 levy.
The Village reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the Village’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the Village, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Road and Bridge Fund accounts for the Village’s share of fuel use tax, vehicle
license,and road and bridge property tax revenue that are utilized for the maintenance
of the Village’s roads and bridges, drainage and storm sewers,and forests.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
C.Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued)
The Village reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Waterworks and Sewerage Fund accounts for the activities of the Village’s water
distribution system, sewage pumping stations and collection systems and sewage
treatment plant.
The Senior Citizen Complex Fund accounts for the activities of the Village’s two senior
citizen living facilities.
Additionally, the Village reports the following fund type:
The Pension Trust Funds account for the activities of the Police Pension and Firemen’s
Pension plans, which accumulate resources for pension benefit payments to qualified
employees.
The financial statements of the Village are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.The Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB)is responsible for establishing accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for state and local governments. Accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America includes all relevant GASB
pronouncements plus other sources of accounting and financial reporting guidance noted in
GASB Statement No. 76, The Hierarchy of GAAP for State and Local Governments.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and
other charges between the Village’s water and sewer function and various other functions
of the Village. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program
revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for
goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital
grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues
rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
C.Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation (continued)
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing
and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations.
The principal operating revenues of the waterworks and sewerage enterprise fund are
charges to customers for sales and services. The principal operating revenues of the
Senior Citizen Complex Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for rental of living
facilities. The Waterworks and Sewerage Enterprise Fund also recognizes as operating
revenue the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers
to the system. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and
expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Village’s
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D.Assets, liabilities,deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and net
position
1.Deposits and investments
The Village’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand
deposits.
The Village’s temporary cash investments are saving and money market accounts and
certificates of deposit.
State statutes authorize the Village and the pension trusts to invest in obligations of the
U.S. Treasury, commercial paper, corporate bonds, repurchase agreements, mutual funds,
stocks,and the State Treasurer’s Investment Pool.
Investments for the Village, as well as for its pension trusts, are reported at fair value,
which are based on quoted market prices. The State Treasurer’s Investment Pool operates
in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations.

2.Receivables and payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds”
(i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-
current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are
reported as “due to/from other funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide
financial statements as “internal balances”.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Trade accounts receivables in excess of 180 days comprise the trade accounts receivable
allowance for uncollectibles. The property tax receivable allowance is equal to 3% of the
original levy amount, with the exception of the property tax receivable applicable to the
bond and interest levies which is equal to 5%.
Property taxes are levied as of January 1 on property values assessed as of the same
date. The tax levy is divided into two billings: the first billing (due March 1) is an estimate of
the current year’s levy based on the prior year’s taxes: the second billing (due August 1)
reflects adjustments to the current year’s actual levy.
The billings are considered past due 60 days after the respective tax billing date, at which
time the applicable property is subject to lien, and penalties and interest are assessed.
3.Inventories and prepaid items
Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when purchased rather
than when consumed.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid
items are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
4.Restricted assets
Certain assets of the Village are classified as restricted assets because their use is
restricted for insurance requirements, waterworks and sewerage consumer deposits and
federal and state seizure requirements.

5.Capital assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant,and equipment,are reported in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the Village as assets with an initial, individual
cost of more than $10,000 with an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets
are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets’lives are not capitalized.
Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that normally are stationary in nature and
normally can be preserved for a significantly greater number of years than most capital
assets. Examples include roads, bridges, drainage systems, water and sewer systems and
lighting systems.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-
type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Property, plant,and equipment of the Village are depreciated using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 30 -40
Improvements 10 -40
System infrastructure 20
Vehicles 8
Machinery and equipment 5 -15
Furniture and fixtures 10 -15
6.Compensated absences
It is the Village’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and
sick pay benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated vacation time since the
Village does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees separate from service
with the Village. Sick pay is accrued based on the Village employee’s area of employment,
an employee’s years of service, the number of days accumulated, and a set maximum
percentage of the total time accumulated. A liability is recognized in the government-wide
and proprietary fund’s financial statements for that portion of accumulated sick pay benefits
that it is estimated will be taken as “terminal leave” prior to retirement.

7.Long-term obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type
Statement of Net Position. Bond premium and discounts are deferred and amortized over
the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Losses on extinguishment of debt are
deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the new or old bonds using the
straight-line method. Using the straight-line method is not materially different than the
effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium
or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of
debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances
are reported as other financing sources while discounts in debt issuances are reported as
other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt
proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
8.Deferred Outflows of Resources
The Village reports decreases in net position or fund equity that relate to future periods as
deferred outflows of resources in a separate section of its government-wide and proprietary
funds statement of net position or governmental fund balance sheet. The Village has two
types of deferred outflows of resources which occur related to charges on bond refunding
and to its pension plans.
9.Deferred Inflows of Resources
The Village reports increases in net position or fund equity that applies to a future periods
as deferred inflows of resources in a separate section of its government-wide and
proprietary funds statement of net position or governmental fund balance sheet. The Village
will not recognize the related revenue until a future event occurs. The Village has two types
of items which occur. One type occurs within the governmental funds related to revenue
recognition, which occurs because property tax receivables are recorded in the current
year, but the revenue is considered unavailable in the current year due to the timing of the
receipt of the property tax revenue.The other type occurs within the government-wide and
propriety funds statements which relate to its pension plans.

10.Fund balances
Fund balance is divided into five classifications based primarily on the extent to which the
Village is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources in the
governmental funds.
It is the Village’s policy to consider restricted resources to have been spent first when an
expenditure is incurred for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are
available, followed by committed and then assigned resources. Unassigned amounts are
used only after the other categories of fund balance have been fully utilized.
Within the governmental fund types, the Village’s fund balances are reported in one of the
following classifications:
Nonspendable -includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either:
a)not in spendable form; or b) legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact.
Restricted -includes amounts that are restricted to specific purposes, that is, when
constraints placed on the use of resources are either: a) externally imposed by
creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or
regulations of other governments; or b) imposed by law through constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed -includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant
to constraints imposed by formal action of the Village’s board of trustees. Committed
amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the Village removes or
changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed to previously
commit those amounts. The Village does not have any committed fund balances.
Assigned -includes amounts that are constrained by the Village’s intent to be used
for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is
expressed by: a) the Village board of trustees itself; or b) a body or official to which
the Village board of trustees has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be
used for specific purposes. The finance director may assign resources and amounts
of fund balance to a specific purpose. These assignments will follow Village policy.
Unassigned -includes the residual fund balance that has not been restricted,
committed, or assigned with the General Fund and deficit balances of other
governmental funds.

D.Assets, liabilities,deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and net

10.Fund balances (continued)
Net Position:Beginning with fiscal year 2013, the Village implemented GASB Statement
No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of
Resources, and Net Position.The objective of this statement is to provide financial
reporting guidance for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources.
Net position represents the difference between assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and
deferred inflows. Net position invested in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for
the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Net positions are reported as
restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use through enabling legislation or
through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other
governments.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
basic financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E.Governmental Accounting Standards
In November 2016, the GASB issued Statement 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations. This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement
obligations (AROs) and establishes criteria for determining the timing and pattern of recognition of a liability and a corresponding deferred outflow of resources for AROs. This Statement is effective for the Village’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, with no material
impact on the Village.
In April 2018, the GASB issued Statement 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, Including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements. The primary objective of this Statement is to improve the information that is disclosed in notes to government financial statements related to debt, including direct borrowings and direct placements. It also clarifies which liabilities governments should include when disclosing information related to debt. This Statement defines debt for purposes of disclosure in notes to financial statements as a liability that arises from a contractual obligation to pay cash (or other assets that may be used in lieu of cash) in one or more payments to settle an amount that is fixed at the date the contractual obligation is established. This Statement requires that additional essential information related to debt be disclosed in notes to financial statements, including unused lines of credit; assets pledged as collateral for the debt; and terms specified in debt agreements related to significant events of default with finance-related consequences, significant termination events with finance-related consequences, and significant subjective acceleration clauses. This Statement is effective for the Village’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, with no material impact on the Village.

A.Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund Balance Sheet
and the government-wide Statement of Net Position
The Governmental Fund Balance Sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance -
total governmental funds and net position -governmental activities as reported in the
government-wide Statement of Net Position. One element of that reconciliation explains
that “long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current
period and therefore,are not reported in the funds.” The details of this difference are as
follows:
Bonds and notes payable $4,329,645
Less net issuance (discount) premium (to be amortized over life of
debt)159,949
Compensated absences 380,199

The governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balances includes reconciliation between net changes in fund balances -total
governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in
the government-wide Statement of Activities. One element of that reconciliation explains
that “Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement
of Activities,the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense.” The detail of this difference is as follows:
Capital outlay $776,290

Another element of that reconciliation states that “the issuance of long-term debt (e.g.,
bonds, loans) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the
repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also,
governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt
is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of
Activities.” The details of this difference are as follows:

NOTE 3 -STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgetary information
The Village follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1.The Village Mayor and Finance Director propose an operating budget based upon
requests submitted by individual departments for the following fiscal year. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2.Budget hearings are conducted within the Finance Committee of the Village Board.
3.Expenditure budgets for the General Fund, special revenue funds (Road & Bridge,
Motor Fuel Tax, and TIFs), and the Debt Service Fund are legally adopted on the cash
basis through passage of an appropriation ordinance.
4.The level of budgetary control is at the fund level. The Village Mayor is authorized to
transfer budgeted amounts within a fund (i.e. intrafund transfers) during the fiscal year.
The Village Board, through passage of a supplemental appropriation ordinance,
amends the appropriation ordinance to increase expenditures or expenses within a fund
or to make transfers across funds (interfund transfers). Appropriations lapse at year-
end.

Custodial Credit Risk. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank or other
financial institution failure, the government’s deposits may not be returned to it. The Village
does not have a deposit policy for custodial credit risk. As of April 30, 2019, none of the
Village’s bank balance of $20,391,084 was exposed to custodial credit risk.
Deposits in the Illinois Funds. The State Treasurer maintains the Illinois Funds Money
Market Fund (Pool). Its primary purpose is to provide custodians of public funds with an
alternative investment vehicle which enables them to earn a competitive rate on return or
fully collateralized investments, while maintaining immediate access to those funds.

Treasury obligations and collateralized repurchase agreements. The Pool maintains a
Standard and Poor’s AAAm rating.
The time deposits are collateralized 110% over the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit with U.S.
Treasury obligations and marked to market on a weekly basis to maintain sufficiency. The

amortized cost, totaled $23,623,709 for the Village at April 30, 2019.
All funds deposited in the Pool are classified as investments even though some could be
withdrawn on a day’s notice. Although not subject to direct regulatory oversight, the fund is
administered in accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Public Funds Investment Act,
30 ILCS 235.

Interest Rate Risk. The pension funds have adopted investment policies to limit exposure to
fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The Firemen’s Pension fund has
adopted a policy whereby investing in securities that would give the fixed-income portfolio a
duration within 0.25 of the Lehman Intermediate Government Bond index. The Police
Pension fund developed a strategy which maintains the average maturity of fixed-income
securities at approximately five years, ranging from two to seven years. This strategy also
increases the duration when interest rates are rising and decreases the duration when
interest rates are declining.

Custodial Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk. For an investment, custodial credit
risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the pension funds will not
be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. All of the pension fund investments are insured, registered,
or held by the pension fund or its agent in the pension fund’s name.The pension funds do
limit the amount of funds that may be invested in any one issuer, except as noted previously
above. The Firemen’s Pension had investments greater than 5% of the fund’s total
investments in FNMA, 9.60%,and U.S. Treasury Notes, 16.50%. The Police Pension Fund
had one investment greater than 5% of the fund’s total investments in Federal Home Loan
Bank, 6.71%.
Fair Value. The Village categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value
hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based
on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant and observable
inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The Village has the following
recurring fair value measurements as of April 30, 2019:
Mutual funds of $28,356,294 are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
(Level 1),and
U.S. Government securities of $12,285,305, corporate and other bonds of $7,453,071
and certificates of deposit of $3,099,213 are significant and observable inputs
(Level 2 inputs). The investments values are measured using trading platform fees,
quoted matrix pricing models, and multi-dimensional relational models.

NOTE 5 -OTHER INFORMATION
A.Risk management
The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. In
February 1986, the Village joined together with other municipal units in the state to form the
Illinois Public Risk Fund (IPRF), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common
provider for the defense and payment of members’ workers’ compensation claims for
approximately 465 member municipal units. The Village pays an annual premium to IPRF
for its workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Village costs are proportional, based on
contributions developed by a payroll audit of all members.
The Village has adopted a risk management program to provide group health insurance to
its employees. Payments are made monthly and deposited into a savings account to be
used to pay claims. The program has a stop-loss clause in effect which limits the Village’s
liability to $70,000 per individual. After $70,000, the underwriter reimburses the Village for
paid claims. At April 30, 2019, the Village owes $68,418 for medical claims; this liability is
accrued in the General Fund.

such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The Village is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is
not presently determinable, in the opinion of the Village attorney, the resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Village.

$3,180,600 of contracts related to water/sewer projects; and infrastructure improvements
and maintenance.
C.Tax Abatements
Pulaski Road Corridor TIF
In 2016,the Village Board created a Pulaski Road Corridor TIF Façade and Small Business
Grant Program to standardize the application process and to help promote not only new
developments, but to help existing property owning businesses improve their businesses
using TIF eligible expenses. Interest in the program was strong and businesses started
working with the TIF district’s consulting firm to help make redevelopment agreement
(RDA) applications to the Village Board.

NOTE 6 -DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund
Plan Description
The Village’s defined benefit pension plan for regular employees provides retirement and disability
benefits, postretirement increases, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The
Village’s plan is affiliated with the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), an agent multi-
employer plan. Benefit provisions are established by statute and may only be changed by the
General Assembly of the State of Illinois. IMRF issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information (RSI). That report may be
obtained on-line at www.imrf.org.
Funding Policy
As set by statute, the Village’s regular plan members are required to contribute 4.50%of their
annual covered salary. The statute requires employers to contribute the amount necessary, in
addition to member contributions, to finance retirement coverage of its own employees. The
employer annual required contribution rate for calendar year 2018 was 11.20%.The Village also
contributes for disability benefits, death benefits and supplemental retirement benefits, all of which
are pooled at the IMRF level. Contribution rates for disability and death benefits are set by the
IMRF Board of Trustees, while the supplemental retirement benefits rate is set by statute.
Benefits Provided
IMRF has three benefit plans. The vast majority of IMRF members participate in the Regular Plan
(RP). The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Personnel (SLEP) plan is for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and
selected police chiefs. Counties could adopt the Elected County Official (ECO) plan for officials
elected prior to August 8, 2011 (the ECO plan was closed to new participants after that date).
All three IMRF benefit plans have two tiers. Employees hired before January 1, 2011, are
eligible for Tier 1 benefits. Tier 1 employees are vested for pension benefits when they have at
least eight years of qualifying service credit. Tier 1 employees who retire at age 55 (at reduced
benefits) or after age 60 (at full benefits) with eight years of service are entitled to an annual
retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate of
earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15
years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest
total earnings during any consecutive 48 months within the last 10 years of service, divided by
48. Under Tier 1, the pension is increased by 3% of the original amount on January 1 every year
after retirement.

Benefits Provided (continued)
Employees hired on or after January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 2 benefits. For Tier 2
employees, pension benefits vest after ten years of service. Participating employees who retire
at age 62 (at reduced benefits) or after age 67 (at full benefits) with ten years of service are
entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3%
of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of
service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of
earnings is the highest total earnings during any 96 consecutive months within the last 10
years of service, divided by 96. Under Tier 2, the pension is increased on January 1 every year
after retirement, upon reaching age 67, by the lesser of:
3% of the original pension amount, or
1/2 of the increase in the Consumer Price Index of the original pension amount

Village contributed $344,230 to the plan.The Village also contributes for disability benefits,
death benefits,and supplemental retirement benefits,all of which are pooled at the IMRF level.
Contribution rates for disability and death benefits are set by IMRF’s Board of Trustees,while
the supplemental retirement benefits rate is set by statute.

Actuarial Assumptions
The following are the methods and assumptions used to determine total pension liability at
December 31, 2018:
The Actuarial Cost Method used was Entry Age Normal.
The Asset Valuation Method used was Market Value of Assets.
The Inflation Rate was assumed to be 2.50%.
Salary Increases were expected to be 3.39% to 14.25%, including inflation.
The Investment Rate of Return was assumed to be 7.25%.
Projected Retirement Age was from the Experience-based Table of Rates,specific
to the type of eligibility condition,last updated for the 2017 valuation according to an
experience study from years 2014 to 2016.
The IMRF-specific rates for Mortality (for non-disabled retirees) with fully generational
projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015).
For Disabled Retirees,an IMRF-specific mortality table was used with fully
generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015).The IMRF-specific rates
were developed from the RP-2014 Disabled Retirees Mortality Table, applying the
same adjustments that were applied for non-disabled lives.
For Active Members,an IMRF-specific mortality table was used with fully
generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015).The IMRF-specific rates
were developed from the RP-2014 Employee Mortality Table with adjustments to
match current IMRF experience.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined
using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real
rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense, and
inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real
rates of return to the target asset allocation percentage and adding expected inflation.
The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each
major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term
Portfolio Expected
Target Real Rate
Asset Class Percentage of Return
Domestic Equity 38.0%6.85%

Single Discount Rate
A Single Discount Rate of 7.50% was used to measure the total pension liability.The
projection of cash flow used to determine this Single Discount Rate assumed that the plan
members’contributions will be made at the current contribution rate,and that employer
contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined
contribution rates and the member rate. The Single Discount Rate reflects:
1.The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (during the period
in which the fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to pay benefits),and
2.The tax-exempt municipal bond rate based on an index of 20-year general obligation
bonds with an average AA credit rating (which is published by the Federal
Reserve)as of the measurement date (to the extent that the contributions for use
with the long-term expected rate of return are not met).
For the purpose of the most recent valuation,the expected rate of return on plan investments
is 7.25%,the municipal bond rate is 3.71%,and the resulting single discount rate is 7.50%.

Police Pension
Police sworn personnel are covered by the Police Pension Plan, which is a defined benefit single
employer pension plan. The plan does not issue a stand alone financial report; it is included as a
Pension Trust Fund in the Annual Financial Report. Although this is a single employer pension
plan, the defined benefits, as well as the employee and employer contribution levels, are
mandated by the Illinois Compiled Statutes and may be amended only by the Illinois legislature.
The Village accounts for the plan as a Pension Trust Fund. Plan members’ contributions are
recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. Employer contributions are
recognized when due and the employer has made a formal commitment to provide the
contributions.
The Board for the Police Pension Plan consists of five voting Trustees, two of whom are
appointed by the Village President, two of whom are members of the system who are elected by a
majority of the Police Officers who are active members of the system and one whom is elected by
the retirees of the Police Pension Fund. Each Trustee serves a two-year term. Each person
employed by the Village Police Department as a full-time Police Officer becomes a member of the
Plan as a condition of his or her employment.

The plan provides retirement benefits, as well as death and disability benefits. Employees
attaining the age of 50 or more with 20 or more years of creditable service are entitled to receive
an annual retirement benefit of 2.5%of final salary for each year of service up to 30 years, to a
maximum of 75%of such salary. Employees with at least eight years but less than 20 years of
credited service may retire at or after age 60 and receive a reduced benefit of 2.5%of final salary
for each year of service. Surviving spouses receive 100%of final salary for fatalities resulting from
an act of duty, or otherwise the greater of 50%of final salary or the employee’s retirement benefit.
Employees disabled in the line of duty receive 65%of final salary. The monthly pension of a
covered employee who retired with 20 or more years of service after January 1, 1977, shall be
increased annually, following the first anniversary date of retirement and be paid upon reaching
the age of at least 55 years, by 3%of the originally granted pension. Beginning with increases
granted on or after July 1, 1993, the second and subsequent automatic annual increases shall be
calculated as 3%of the amount of the pension payable at the time of increase.
Covered employees are required to contribute 9.91%of their base salary to the Police Pension
Plan. If an employee leaves covered employment with less than 20 years of service, accumulated
employee contributions may be refunded without accumulated interest. The Village’s annual
contribution to the plan is provided by a property tax levy. These tax levies are required to be of an
amount necessary to finance the plan as actuarially determined by an enrolled actuary.
For employees hired after January 1, 2011, the normal retirement age is attainment of age 55 and
completion of 10 years of service.Early retirement age is attainment of age 50, completion of 10
years of service and the early retirement factor is 6%per year; the employee’s accrued benefit is
based on the employee’s final 8-year average salary not to exceed $106,800 (as indexed). Cost-
of-living adjustments are simple increases (not compounded) of the lesser of 3%or 50%of CPI
beginning the later of the anniversary date and age 60; surviving spouse’s benefits are 66 2/3%of
the employees benefit at the time of death.
Administrative costs are financed with revenues of the Police Pension Fund.
Under Public Act 96-1495, the annual requirements of the pension fund are to be determined as a
level percent of payroll sufficient to bring the total assets of the pension fund up to 90% of the total
actuarial liabilities by the year 2040.

The Police Pension Board (Board) is responsible for administering the investment policies of the
Plans and providing oversight for the management of the Plans’ assets. The investment strategy
of each Plan is to emphasize total return (defined as the aggregate return from capital
appreciation and dividend and interest income). The investment policy for each plan requires
that all Plan assets be invested in liquid securities, defined as securities that can be transacted
quickly and efficiently for the Plan, with minimal impact on market price.The Village Board
passed a funding plan, subsequent to year end, which changed the investment rate of return on
assets from 7.0% to 6.5% resulting from moving from gross to net of administration fees.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class.

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.50% for the Police Pension
Plan. The projection of cash flow used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member
contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that sponsor contributions will be
made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the

Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all

Firemen’s Pension
Fire sworn personnel are covered by the Firemen’s Pension Plan, which is a defined benefit single
employer pension plan. The plan does not issue a stand alone financial report; it is included as a
Pension Trust Fund in the Annual Financial Report. Although this is a single employer pension
plan, the defined benefits, as well as the employee and employer contribution levels, are
mandated by the Illinois Compiled Statutes and may be amended only by the Illinois legislature.
The Village accounts for the plan as a Pension Trust Fund. Plan members’ contributions are
recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. Employer contributions are
recognized when due and the employer has made a formal commitment to provide the
contributions.
The Board for the Firemen’s Pension Plan consists of five voting Trustees, two of whom are
appointed by the Village President, two of whom are members of the system who are elected by
a majority of the Firefighters who are active members of the system and one whom is elected by
the retirees of the Firemen’s Pension Fund. Each Trustee serves a three-year term. Each
person employed by the Village Fire Department as a full-time Firefighter becomes a member of
the Plan as a condition of his or her employment.

As of April 30, 2019, the Firefighter’s Pension Plan membership consisted of:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits and terminated
employees entitled to benefits but not receiving them.39
Current employees, vested and nonvested.35
Total 74
Under Public Act 96-1495, the annual requirements of the pension fund are to be determined as a
level percent of payroll sufficient to bring the total assets of the pension fund up to 90% of the total
actuarial liabilities by the year 2040.
The plan provides retirement benefits, as well as death and disability benefits. Employees
attaining the age of 50 or more with 20 or more years of creditable service are entitled to receive
an annual retirement benefit of one-half the salary attached to the rank held on the last day of
service. The pension shall be increased by 1/12 of 2.5%of such monthly salary for each
additional month of service over 20 years up to 30 years, to a maximum of 75%of such monthly
salary. Employees with at least 10 years but less than 20 years of credited service may retire at or
after age 60 and receive a reduced benefit ranging from 15%of final salary for 10 years of service
to 45.6%for 19 years of service. Surviving spouses receive 100%of final salary for fatalities
resulting from an act of duty, or otherwise the greater of 54%of final salary or the monthly
retirement pension that the deceased fireman was receiving at the time of death. Surviving
children receive 12%of final salary. The maximum family survivor benefit is 75%of final salary.
Employees disabled in the line of duty receive 65%of final salary. The monthly pension of a
covered employee who retired with 20 or more years of service after January 1, 1977, shall be
increased annually, following the first anniversary date of retirement and be paid upon reaching
the age of at least 55 years, by 3%of the originally granted pension.
Covered employees are required to contribute 9.455%of their base salary to the Firemen’s
Pension Plan. If an employee leaves covered employment with less than 20 years of service,
accumulated employee contributions may be refunded without accumulated interest. The Village’s
annual contribution to the plan is provided by a property tax levy. These tax levies are required to
be of an amount necessary to finance the plan as actuarially determined by an enrolled actuary.
For employees hired after January 1, 2011, the normal retirement age is attainment of age 55 and
completion of 10 years of service; early retirement age is attainment of age 50, completion of 10
years of service and the early retirement factor is 6%per year; the employee’s accrued benefit is
based on the employee’s final 8-year average salary not to exceed $106,800 (as indexed). Cost-
of-living adjustments are simple increases (not compounded) of the lesser of 3%or 50%of CPI
beginning the later of the anniversary date and age 60; surviving spouse’s benefits are 66 2/3%of
the employees benefit at the time of death.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 3.79%. The projection of cash flow
used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the
current contribution rate and that sponsor contributions will be made at rates equal to the
difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on
those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make
all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected
rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 1 -BUDGET INFORMATION
The Village follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
financial statements:
1.The Village Mayor and Finance Director propose an operating budget based upon
requests submitted by individual departments for the following fiscal year. The
operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2.Budget hearings are conducted within the Finance Committee of the Village Board.
3.Expenditure budgets for the General Fund, special revenue funds (Road & Bridge,
Motor Fuel Tax, and TIFs), and the Debt Service Fund are legally adopted on the cash
basis through passage of an appropriation ordinance.
4.The level of budgetary control is at the fund level. The Village Mayor is authorized to
transfer budgeted amounts within a fund (i.e. intrafund transfers) during the fiscal year.
The Village Board, through passage of a supplemental appropriation ordinance,
amends the appropriation ordinance to increase expenditures or expenses within a
fund or to make transfers across funds (interfund transfers). Appropriations lapse at
year-end.

(1) The Estimated Percentage Applicable is determined by the ratio of equalized assessed valuation (EAV) subject to taxation in the Village to the EAV
of property subject to taxation in the overlapping unit. The ratio of EAV subject to taxation in the Village is the product of the Village's EAV and
the percentage of the Village's EAV within the overlapping unit's EAV.
(2) Adding library districts do not equal all of the Village's EAV, as part of the Village is not covered by a library district.
Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with geographic boundaries of the Village. This schedule estimates the outstanding
debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the property taxpayers of the Village of Alsip. This process recognizes that, when considering
the government's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the property taxpayers should be taken into account.
However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
