Budget Message
TO: Honorable Mayor Ken Mundy
Sycamore City Council
FROM: Brian Gregory
City Manager
DATE: November 4, 2013
RE: Revised Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Budget
The Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2013-14 extends from May 1, 2013 through April 30,
2014. This budget document compiles the numerical and narrative budgets for each
General Fund department and each of the City’s capital funds, special funds, and bond
funds in one volume for easy reading and reference.
Spending within the FY2014 Budget totals $59,072,673 inclusive of all City funds
(including $27,785,000 in pass-through fuel funds). The General Fund expenditure
budget totals $13,884,958. These expenditures are offset by $13,885,915 in anticipated
General Fund revenues. The General Fund operating reserve or starting fund balance as
of May 1, 2013 is $4,592,324 or 33.07% percent of the planned General Fund
expenditures for FY2014.
General Fund operating expenditures continue to be constrained to meet general
revenues that are beginning to rebound from the depths of the great recession. Overall,
operational spending on commodities, contractual work, small tools and equipment,
vehicles, office supplies, computer software and hardware, employee training, fire
supplies, Police supplies, and dozens of other operating line items remain at 2004 levels.
The notable exceptions are the City’s health, comp and liability insurance premiums; our
dispatch agreement with DeKalb County; and fuel costs.
In addition, $535,000 in general capital reserves have been brought into the General
Fund to achieve departmental spending targets that continue basic services. Consistent
with the 5-7 year plan to bring the General Fund to financial independence, capital
transfers have been reduced by $175,000 from FY13. This has been possible due to an
improving economy, reducing debt service obligations through a refunding bond, the
addition of new business and fiscal constraint.
Aside from conventional operating expenditures, other significant General Fund
expenditures include the following:
1
-
� Debt service of $408,500 to fund the principal and interest on the 2007 general obligation bond ($200,000); 2005 refunding bond ($55,000); and the
2002 general obligation bond ($153,500).
� An allocation of $325,000 (513-8493) to pay the FY14 sales tax rebates. � An slight increase health insurance premiums (line items 8474 & 8477) and
an increase of 6.25% in worker comp costs;
� An increase of 1.2% in Dispatch Services with DeKalb County. � A reserve transfer of $75,000 to the Employee Benefit Assistance Fund (Fund
23) for accrued leave payouts in the event of the retirement of several senior
employees in FY2014.
Despite the sharp drop in developmental revenues and slowly rebounding local sales tax
revenues, the City Council has maintained a commitment to capital infrastructure
improvements. This commitment honors the deep community concern about failing
streets, in particular. The ability to maintain this commitment is also based, in part, on
prudent fiscal measures taken in years past to segregate capital funds from operational
funds, and to appropriately match such funds with uses that reflect community
expectations. In FY2014 the capital and special funds will remain balanced with
appropriate reserves.
Highlights of the FY2013-2014 capital program are listed below:
� A street maintenance program of $2,375,000 ($2,000,000 from the Street Maintenance Fund and $375,000 from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund). This
will include residential streets and the widening and resurfacing of
Bethany Road from Peace Road to Aster Drive which will begin in the
spring of 2014.
� The Treatment Plant expansion project originally planned for improvements over two-phases; dewatering and expansion. Phase I has
been completed and Phase II will be split into Phase II (chlorination of the
excess flow clarifier and the addition of a centrifuge) and Phase III (the
expansion). Phase II work and design of Phases II and III will begin in
FY14.
� The construction work for the Well #10 building from a Water Fund reserve Transfer to the Water Impact Fee Fund.

Fund Overview
The General Fund is the largest of all
City funds. It receives general, non-
dedicated revenues from such sources
as property taxes, sales and use taxes,
state income tax, service contracts,
fines, permits, licenses, and transfers
from other City funds that purchase
General Fund services. General Fund
expenditures support the operations of
the Police Department, Fire
Department, Public Works Department,
Administration Department, Building &
Engineering Department, City Clerk’s
Office, and the Mayor & Council.
The FY2013-2014 General Fund budget
shows budgeted expenditures in
balance with anticipated FY2013-2014
revenues.
On May 1, 2013 the beginning fund
balance, or General Fund operating
reserve, on a modified accrual basis, is
$4,071,727 or 29.3% of the FY2013-
2014 General Fund expenditures
($13,884,958).

Total revenues of $13,885,915 are
budgeted in FY2013-2014, including
capital reserve transfers totaling
$535,000 . The projected general
revenues in FY14 are expected to be
$53,532 less than the estimated General
Fund revenues for FY13 (due to a large
one-time accelerated home rule tax
payment from the State of Illinois in
FY13).
Property Taxes (3110-3115)
$1,764,497
The 2012 City property tax levy, which is
payable in the summer of 2013,
supports the FY14 budget. Excluding fire
and police pension receipts which are
deposited directly in the respective
pension funds, the 2012 City operations
levy is $1,764,497, the same as the 2011
operations levy. The City’s general
operating levy includes a $20,000 levy
to partially fund the crossing guard
program of the Police Department. The
estimated City EAV in 2012 is
$371,595,222, a decrease of
$39,088,819 from the 2011 City-wide
EAV. The estimated 2012 City tax rate
(payable in 2013) is $0.70631 per $100
EAV, an increase of 11.3% over the 2011
rate of 0.63452 per $100 EAV.
The 2012 corporate tax levy includes a
$943,400 Library tax levy, which is
$28,034 (3.1%) higher than the 2011
Library levy. The 2012 corporate levy of
$3,568,021 is $28,034 or .8% higher
than the 2011 corporate levy of
$3,539,987.
Property taxes constitute 12.7% of all
projected General Fund revenues
(versus 13.1% in the revised FY13
Budget). In FY1976, property taxes
constituted 50.7% of the City’s overall
operating revenues.
Sales and Use Taxes (3210-3215)
$6,823,289
The City imposes a home rule sales tax
on retail sales within the corporate
limits. In 1990, the state removed this
tax from automobile sales and, in 1991,
the state removed this tax from the sale
of food and drugs. This tax is collected
by retailers and paid directly to the
Illinois Department of Revenue, which
then remits the proceeds back to the
City about 2-3 months after the taxes
are initially reported.
The State sales tax is a 1 percent sales
tax applied on all retail sales within the
City, including automobiles, food, and
drugs. For accounting purposes, this
category also includes the local share of
the state use tax, which is basically a tax
on catalog and electronic shopping, or
non-titled items purchased out of state
but used in state. The local use tax will
amount to about $16.20 per capita in
FY14.
On January 19, 2010 the Sycamore City
Council approved an increase in the
home rule tax rate from 1.25% to
1.75%. This rate went into effect on July
1, 2010. Since July 1, 2010, 1/7th of the
overall home rule tax proceeds have
been directly deposited in the Capital
GENERAL FUND Revenues
5
-
Assistance Fund (Fund 6) for general
capital purposes (e.g. vehicle and
equipment purchases); 2/7ths have
been deposited in the Street
Maintenance Fund (Fund 30) for street
repairs; and 4/7ths have been deposited
in the General Fund for operational
needs.
A 2% restaurant/bar tax was imposed
on May 1, 2002. Aside from support for
general operations, the proceeds are
also used to fund the debt on a $4
million capital projects bond (See the
2002 Bond Fund—Fund 24). The tax is
collected by the City.
A 5% telecommunication tax became
effective on July 1, 2003. This tax applies
to local and long-distance calls, either
land-based or wireless, and is charged
against the caller’s billing address. It is
collected by the Illinois Department of
Revenue and remitted to the City on a
monthly basis.
The combined home rule tax proceeds,
state sales tax proceeds, restaurant/bar
tax proceeds, and telecommunication
tax proceeds will constitute 49.1% of all
General Fund revenues in FY14 (versus
47.3% of the FY13 general revenues).
Licenses (3310-3319)
$123,000
FY2013-2014 revenues are budgeted at
$123,000 which represents an increase
of $3,200 from the FY13 Budget. As a
result of the deep recession affecting
local building starts, no growth-related
increase resulting from the interest of
new licensed subcontractors in our
commercial, industrial and residential
construction work is expected in FY13.
However, a few new liquor licenses
were issued in FY12, slightly increasing
the expected overall revenues in this
category in the coming fiscal year. No
license fee increases are proposed for
FY13.
Intergovernmental Revenue (3410-
3430) $1,820,672
One tenth of all state income tax
receipts are deposited in the Local
Government Distributive Fund and
distributed to municipalities and
counties on a per capita basis.
The 2010 Census pegs Sycamore’s
official population at 17,519. Based on
this total and the Illinois Municipal
League estimate of per capita
allocations, the FY14 Budget assumes a
per capita income tax allocation of
about $1.54 million ($88 times 17,519).
The personal property replacement tax
has been distributed to municipalities
since the 1978 abolition of the
corporate personal property tax. It is
derived from a 2.5% corporate income
tax along with infrastructure
maintenance fees from
telecommunication and electricity
distributors.
The Sycamore School District has
pledged $75,000 to offset the cost of
the crossing guard program and to
partially fund the school resource officer
position. The DeKalb/Sycamore
boundary agreement is expected to
generate about $39,000.
6
-
Budgeted intergovernmental revenues
are estimated to be 13.1% of all General
Fund revenues in FY14, up from 12.9%
in FY13.
Service Charges (3510-3530)
$751,457
Revenues from the aggregate of all
service charges in FY2013-2014 are
expected to decrease from the FY13
budget of $761,457. Inspection and plan
review fees, which represent the largest
categorical share of non-tax revenue
continue to decrease. The inspection
fee categories include line items 3510-
3515. The totals over the past nine
years are shown in the table below:
Budget
Year
Development & Inspection
Fees (Line Items 3510-
3515)
FY14 $56,750 (Budget)
FY13 $56,000 (Estimate)

FY11 $72,381
FY10 $82,413
FY09 $146,782
FY08 $317,919
FY07 $417,509
FY06 $707,823
FY05 $422,591
FY04 $437,661
Fines (3610-3620)
$132,500
Based on year-end projections for FY13,
it is estimated that fine revenues will be
less in FY2013-2014.
Other Income (3710-3748)
$2,025,500
The “Other Income” category is an
amalgam of miscellaneous income
sources such as investment interest,
refunds and reimbursements, franchise
fees, and user fees associated with the
City’s trash pickup program. The
decrease in this overall category is
primarily due to the reduction of
planned reserve transfers in FY14.
Transfers In (4502-4509)
$445,000
Revenue transfers into the General
Fund typically reimburse the General
Fund for services purchased by other
City special and capital funds. In FY14,
the Capital Fund will transfer most of its
accruing general capital revenues to the
General Fund to shore up departmental
operating budgets. These transfers will
constitute 3.2% percent of all General
Fund revenues.

In FY14 the General Fund dedicates its
available revenues to the services
delivered by five operating departments
(Police, Fire, Public Works, Building &
Engineering, and Administration), as
well as the Mayor and Council, the City
Clerk’s Office, and General Fund
Support.
FY2013-2014 General Fund
expenditures are budgeted at
$13,884,958. This number is in balance
with FY14 budgeted revenues and
reserve transfers totaling $13,885,915.
The budgeted FY14 operating costs are
$392,680 (2.9%) greater than the
budgeted FY13 expenditures. Much of
this increase can be attributed to
increases in the City’s worker comp,
health and life insurance premiums,
garbage contract and the rebate
obligation to the new auto dealer
which opened in September 2012.
Included in the FY14 operating
expenditures is an allocation of
$153,500 for debt service on the 2012
refunding bond, $55,000 for debt
service on the 2005 refunding bond, and
$200,000 for the 2007 general
obligation bond. The following table
breaks down the General Fund spending
by category:

Improvement

Transfers Out $408,500 $440,000
Total $13,884,958 $13,492,278
Because of revenue constraints,
departmental allocations for training
continue to be limited to conferences
and classes necessary to retain licensure
and certifications. The allocations for
equipment repair and maintenance are
spare. As in recent years, the Capital
Assistance Fund (Fund 6) and Sales Tax
Distributive Fund (Fund 22) will again
supplement General Fund expenditures
by providing monies to replace “big
ticket” capital items and to proceed
with some equipment upgrades. The
capital monies in Fund 6 are principally
derived from 1/7th of the expanded
home rule sales taxes that are directly
deposited in the Capital Fund. The
capital monies in Fund 22 are derived
from sales-tax sharing arrangements
with United Aviation Fuel Corporation
and American Aviation Supply LLC.

Revenue $13,184,665 $13,542,908 $13,885,915
Mayor and Council
$162,331
This budget includes the part-time
salaries of the Mayor and Council, as
well as the cost of contractual legal
services ($95,000). In FY14, the Mayor
will receive a gross annual salary of
$20,000 plus an additional $5,000 for
service as Liquor Commissioner.
Aldermen will receive a gross annual
salary of $4,800. The City’s annual grant
support for the Voluntary Action Center,
DeKalb County Community Foundation,
and DeKalb County Economic
Development Corporation has been
shifted to the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund (09-
8489). In FY14, no monies have been
allocated for Illinois Municipal League
conferences and other educational
events such as the annual DCEDC dinner
(701-8376).
City Clerk
$122,366
This department includes the City Clerk
and the greatest share of the full-time
pool secretary’s time. The Clerk’s office
is the keeper of the City’s records. The
Clerk’s salary is set by Ordinance.
Administration
$536,890
In FY14 the Administration department
includes the City Manager, Assistant to
the City Manager (who is also the City
Treasurer), the Finance Office with two
full-time Account Clerks, the Human
Resource Director, and an accounting
supervisor who supervises the parking
meter fine and fee collection (previously
in the Police department), the collection
of the new gasoline tax proceeds and
other financial duties for the
organization. The City Manager
performs planning and development
functions and the Assistant to the City
Manager/Treasurer performs general
ledger duties.
Police Department
$3,491,154
The City will contribute $665,000
toward the consolidated dispatch
center’s functions in FY14, an increase
of $8,000 from FY13. No new hires are
budgeted. Two replacement squad cars
will be purchased from the Sales Tax
Distributive Fund (Fund 22). The
department will continue to work
toward state certification.
12
-
Fire Department
$2,769,515
The FY14 Fire department budget
proposes no new hires. Future staffing
needs will be addressed in a revised Fire
strategic plan. The Fire department’s
capital expenditures include a new
command vehicle, cardiac monitor and
BLS ambulance equipment from the
Sales Tax Distributive Fund.
Public Works Department
$917,383
In FY08, the Public Works department
and Water department were
successfully merged to achieve more
efficiency and better planning. The
department’s three divisions are
separately funded: the Street division is
funded by the General Fund, the
Treatment Plant division is funded by
the Sewer Fund, and the Water division
is funded by the Water Fund.
In FY14 as in the past few years, a
number of operating costs (e.g. salt
purchases) are shifted from the General
Fund to City capital funds to help with a
shortfall in general revenues. This
process was begun in FY10. In addition,
since the creation of the Street
Maintenance Fund (Fund 30) in FY10 the
department has not been obliged to
dedicate a substantial portion of its
limited operating revenues toward
street maintenance.
Building and Engineering Department
$400,056
In FY11 the building, zoning and
engineering functions of the City were
merged into one new “Building and
Engineering” department under the
leadership of John Sauter, resulting in a
cost savings. City Engineer John
Laskowski has continued to supervise
City infrastructure improvements,
perform engineering reviews and
inspections of new subdivisions, provide
mapping services, help prepare the
annual City capital budget, and solicit
grant assistance for public works
projects. Since FY10, the consulting
firm, Municipal Engineering
Corporation, has performed a number
of essential engineering functions and
will continue to do so in FY14. The
Director of Building & Engineering will
coordinate building and engineering
services under the supervision of the
City Manager.
General Fund Support
$5,485,263
This “department” is really an amalgam
of expenditures common to all City
departments. Among a list of items, it
accounts for the costs of insurance
premiums, gas and oil purchases, the
residential refuse collection contract,
land-line
phone usage, and the debt service
obligations of the General Fund. It also
contains the only “contingency” account
for the General Fund ($20,000). The
highlights of the FY14 General Fund
Support budget are as follows:
� An increase of $50,000 (7.5%) in budgeted worker comp premium
costs (8472). The City is hoping its
safety program brings dividends in
13
-
the form of fewer major comp
claims;
� A modest increase of $39,126 in budgeted refuse removal costs to
account for new households (Line
item 8480). This increase is offset by
corresponding new revenue in the
General Fund;
� A slight increase in electronic data processing (“EDP”) or information
technology service (8330). The City’s
computer system is considerably
more complex than its original
network in 1998, when the City
owned and operated only 12
computers. About 125 monitors and
hard drives now churn information
daily, coordinated through extensive
back-up and server systems. The
City is also responsible for
monitoring and maintaining
connections with state and county
law enforcement agencies, and for
maintaining a variety of financial
software applications in the Finance
Office and Water division. A retainer
agreement will be renewed with the
City’s “IT” contractor to separate
ongoing maintenance from new
installations.
� An increase of $15,354 (.67%) in health insurance premium costs
(Line items 8474 and 8477). FY13’s
renewal was less than expected
which helped keep FY14 costs in
check.
� Debt service of $408,500 for the 2012, 2005 and 2007 general
obligation bonds.
� An increase of $86,000 for the tax rebate obligations.
Overall, the General Fund Support
budget in FY14 is $158,765 (+3%) higher
than the same budget in FY13.
