Smith, City Clerk PUBLISHED: ===== PDF PAGE 7 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] Exhibit A CHAPTER 2 ADMINISTRATION ARTICLE XIV-WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION POLICY Sec. 2-766. — Purpose. This Policy is adopted by the City of West Chicago (City) in compliance with State law, specifically, 50 ILCS 105/4.1 (Section 4.1), which prohibits retaliation against an employee or contractor who reports an improvement governmental action as defined by Section 4.1, cooperates with an investigation related to a report of improper governmental action, or testifies in a proceeding or prosecution arising out of an improper governmental action. The City provides whistleblower protections in two important areas: confidentiality and against retaliation. The confidentiality of a whistleblower will be maintained to the extent allowable by law, however, an identity may have to be disclosed to conduct a thorough investigation, to comply with the law and to provide accused individuals their legal rights of defense. A whistleblower may also waive confidentiality in writing. The City will not retaliate against a whistleblower. Any whistleblower who believes he/she is being retaliated against must submit a written report to the Auditing Official within 60 days of gaining knowledge of the retaliatory action. The right of a whistleblower for protection against retaliation does not include immunity for any personal wrongdoing that is alleged and investigated. Sec. 2-767. — Definitions. (A) | Whistleblower means an employee, as defined in Section II of this policy, of the City who: (1) Reports an improper governmental action; (2) Cooperates with an investigation by an Auditing Official related to a report of improper governmental action; or (3) Testifies in a proceeding or prosecution arising out of an improper governmental action. (B) Auditing Official means the City Administrator. (C) Employee means anyone employed by the City, whether in a permanent or temporary position, including full-time, part-time and intermittent workers. Employee also includes members of appointed boards or commissions, whether or not paid.

(D) Improper governmental action means any action by an employee of the City; an appointed member of a board, commission or committee; or, an elected official of the City that is undertaken in violation of a federal or state law or local ordinance; is an abuse of ===== PDF PAGE 8 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] authority; violates the public's trust or expectation of his or her conduct; is of substantial and specific danger to the public's health or safety; or, is a gross waste of public funds. The action need not be within the scope of the employee's, elected official's, board member's, commission member's or committee member's official duties to be subject to a claim of "improper governmental action." Improper governmental action does not include the City’s personnel actions, including, but not limited to employee grievances, complaints, appointments, promotions, transfers, assignments, reassignments, reinstatements, restorations, reemployment, performance evaluations, reductions in pay, dismissals, suspensions, demotions, reprimands or violations of collective bargaining agreements, except to the extent that the action amounts to retaliation. (E) Retaliate, retaliation or retaliatory action means any adverse change in an employee's employment status or the terms and conditions of employment that results from an employee's protected activity under Section 4.1. Retaliatory action includes, but is not limited to, denial of adequate staff to perform duties; frequent staff changes; frequent and undesirable office changes; refusal to assign meaningful work; unsubstantiated letters of reprimand or unsatisfactory performance evaluations; demotion; reduction in pay; denial of promotion; transfer or reassignment; suspension or dismissal; or, other disciplinary action made because of an employee's protected activity under Section 4.1. Sec. 2-768. - Duties of an Auditing Official. (1) Each Auditing Official shall establish written processes and procedures consistent with the terms of this Policy and best practices for managing complaints and shall investigate and dispose of reports of improper governmental action and/or retaliation in accordance with these processes and procedures.

(3) The Auditing Official may transfer a report of improper governmental action to another Auditing Official for investigation if deemed appropriate, including, but not limited to, the appropriate State’s Attorney. (4) The Auditing Official shall ensure that each employee shall be provided a written summary or a complete copy of Section 4.1 upon commencement of employment and at least once each year of employment. Each employee shall also be provided a copy of the written processes and procedures for reporting improper governmental actions.. (5) As to any employee found to have been subjected to adverse actions for reporting improper governmental action, the Auditing Official may take the following actions: (a) reinstate, reimburse for lost wages or expenses incurred, promote or provide some other form of restitution. ===== PDF PAGE 9 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] (b) where restitution will not suffice, the investigation shall be made available for the purposes of aiding in that employee’s, or the employee's attorney's, effort to make the employee whole.

Guttman CITY ADMINISTRATOR DECEMBER 2021 ===== PDF PAGE 21 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] ClTY OF WEST CHICAGO WHERE HISTORY & PROGRESS MEET December 3, 2021 Dear Mayor Pineda and Aldermen: I hereby present to you the 2022 Fiscal Year Budget for the City of West Chicago, in accordance with Section 2-146 of the West Chicago City Code. The Annual Budget serves as a comprehensive financial plan and strategic guide for our organization. It includes a forecast of anticipated revenues for the coming fiscal year, as well as adopted expenditures that will guide the services provided to our customers, the 25,614 residents and 800+ businesses that call West Chicago their home. The 2022 Annual Budget totals $48,443,500 which is an increase of 3.64% as compared to the 2021 Budget, as amended; specifically, the General Fund reflects a decrease of 0.64% as compared to the 2021 Budget, as amended.! Background The City has a proud history of providing exceptional services to a diverse group of stakeholders. Over the past decade, the diversity of the City has grown and with it, the challenges of meeting the needs and demands of our customers have grown as well. The departments and staff are continuously challenged to address the growth within the City and develop new and innovative ways of delivering the services that our customers expect. Through flexibility, adaptability, the use of technology, innovative staffing methods, and furthering intergovernmental and public/private partnerships, the organization continues to rise to the challenge to become one of the most efficient municipal corporations in the Chicagoland area. Budget Strategy This budget marks the eighteenth year of adhering to the City Council’s Budget Policy and implementing a strategy that addresses the structural and cyclical budgetary challenges that were and continue to face the City of West Chicago. This strategy includes five major components: Reduction in Operating Expenditures To address the structural problem of rising operating costs coupled with stagnant revenues, the City annually undergoes a target budgeting process to manage the organization’s expenditure and revenue patterns, Target Budgeting was initiated to instill budget discipline, establish budgetary priorities, control costs and stabilize finances. Target Budgeting is a modification of zero based budgeting in that it accepts the premise that the City provides certain basic services and attempts to “target funds” for the delivery of those services. Beyond these basic levels, services are discretionary and can be evaluated, prioritized and matched against available revenues. Patterns of services can therefore be modified to meet changing needs without disrupting basic services. Target Budgeting assigns a target goal to each fund based upon its expenditure history and ' These figures exclude end-of-year 2021 transfers into newly created Funds as well from the terminated Downtown TIF District, 475 Main Street | T (630) 293-2200 | Ruben Pineda West Chicago, Illinois F (630) 293-3028 aay 60185 | www.westchicago.org Nancy M. Smith Michael L. Guttman | ’ : CITY CLERK CITY ADMINISTRATOR ===== PDF PAGE 22 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] projected revenues as identified in September each year. This year’s target for the General Fund was one percent of the initial revenue forecast, which translated into a reduction of expenditures totaling approximately $398,000. The target goal for the enterprise funds was a two percent reduction. The proposed 2022 Budget meets the target goals. Meet Reserve Requirements The City has again met its reserve requirement of 35% for the operating funds as detailed in Resolution No. 02-R-0073. Identification and Implementation of New Revenues In 2019, the Finance Committee, and ultimately the City Council, approved a series of tax and fee changes to address the $2.8 million gap in the General Fund, created mostly by the State’s siphoning money traditionally given to local governments and the revenues generated by the Police Department personnel being down about $300,000 annually. While the latter has improved, the State still is not returning the funds we have relied upon to balance the General Fund Budget. Staff is forecasting am approximately $350,000-$500,000 gap in the General Fund in the out years, which is significantly less than the $2.4M gap that was projected last year for those same years. While significant increases in sales and income taxes are expected to help reduce that gap, the decrease in population via the 2020 Census offsets some of that positive news; the planned use of reserves is, at this time, expected to cover the out year deficits, as the reserve amounts are in excess of the City’s Budget Policy. The 2022 draft Budget does contain a 4.9% property tax levy increase to offset the significant increase in police pension costs. Increased Economic Development Focus The City’s Economic Development Program is designed to increase and diversify the City’s sales tax and real estate tax bases, thereby allowing the City to become more self-sufficient, generating revenues from within the City and reducing dependency on outside revenue sources. The importance of our economic development efforts can continue to be realized when looking at our sales tax receipts. Increasing this revenue source has been a primary focus of the organization over the past several years. Mayor Pineda, the Aldermen and staff have devoted a great deal of energy into attracting new sales tax generating businesses, while at the same time, maintaining our existing businesses and helping with their expansion. New business growth is evident for 2022, with Midwest Industrial Funds building a second building in the DuPage Business Center, and the Renaissance Square Project finally getting started and a number of industrial expansions within the City. Maintain and Improve City Services The City has a proud history of providing exceptional services. During the implementation of this five-part budgeting strategy, it is imperative that the residents and businesses not experience a reduction in service levels unless absolutely necessary. In fact, through challenging our employees at every level of the organization, the City has been able to improve upon services during this tough economic climate. With few exceptions, the City has been able to provide excellent service with fewer employees and leaner budgets. ii ===== PDF PAGE 23 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] We are successful in achieving all of the parameters in the proposed 2022 Budget. The proposed Budget includes a planned spend down of reserves, consistent with the Finance Committee’s direction over the last twelve years, to make it a balanced budget. Significant Highlights — All Funds Personnel Changes — The City now employs 117 full-time employees and one part-time employee, with a few seasonal positions in the Public Works Department. The proposed Budget proposes no new positions and three positions in the Police Department (two sworn officers and a Community Service Officer) and one in the City Administrator's Office are not being filled at this time. One of the School Resource Officer positions is being eliminated and changed to a second Commander position (promoted via one temporary overhire to make for a seamless transition upon the retirement of Deputy Chief Shackelford). Also, a reorganization is in process to upgrade two clerical positions to professional ones, with no change in head count. The Administrative Assistant would become a Benefits Coordinator/HR Generalist position and a soon to be vacant Account Clerk position would become an Accountant position. The job descriptions for these new positions will be submitted to the Finance Committee for review. Insurance Costs — The City’s general liability/workers’ compensation insurance costs increased by ten percent, which is the first increase in quite some time. There is also a projected increase to the premiums for those employees who get their medical insurance via the Operating Engineers Health and Welfare Plan per the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. For the plan year July 2021 through June 2022, the total premium again decreased by about four percent for those employees who participate in the City’s plans through IPBC. Premiums for both the HMO and PPO plans are expected to increase come July 1, 2022; a six percent increase is reflected in the Proposed Budget.

Most of the expenditures for City services are budgeted and accounted for in this Fund, except for water and sewer expenses. There are four key revenue sources, which account for 75.22% of the total General Fund revenues: Sales and Use Taxes 41.10% Property Tax 20.45% Income Tax 16.59% Electric Use Tax 7.08% The revenues listed above represent the General Fund’s primary growth revenues, which traditionally pay for annual cost increases, On the expenditure side, in addition to the increased costs of hardware and software maintenance contracts, service contracts, and dispatch services, among others, the following are some additional changes and highlights within the General Fund: e City Council — There are no major changes in this Department’s budget. e City Administrator’s Office — The remaining cost of the West Washington Street Remediation Project ($500,000) is budgeted here. ? These figures exclude end-of-year 2021 transfers into newly created Funds as well from the terminated Downtown TIF District. iv ===== PDF PAGE 25 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] e Administrative Services Department — There are no major changes in this Department’s budget, but for the reorganization highlighted earlier in this narrative. e Police Department — The amount allocated for police pension is $3,100,000 this year (increase of $337,500). The money allocated for training and mental health screenings have increased as necessary to comply with the SAFE-T Act. Also, the contracts with Andy Frain for records clerks ($143,400) and crossing guards ($62,000) have increased due to the State’s minimum wage tiered increases, plus a part-time supervisor position associated with the Crossing Guard Agreement. e Public Works Department — Two projects are worth noting: (1) digitizing cemetery records per the Cemetery Management Act of the State of Illinois ($40,000); and (2) a tree inventory ($52,000). The Motor Fuel Tax revenues and expenditures have been moved to a new Fund for better tracking. e Community Development Department — There are no major operational changes in this Department’s General Fund Budget though the balance of the money associated with updating the Comprehensive Plan is included, as well as obligated funds to finish TIF projects now that this Fund has been terminated. Other TIF Programs such as the Facade and Restaurant Grant Programs have been moved here, until there are sufficient funds in the Downtown 2 TIF District to cover them, should a new TIF District be created. Capital Equipment Replacement Fund This Internal Service Fund draws its revenues from the General, Water and Sewer Funds and the following more expensive pieces of rolling stock are scheduled for replacement in 2022: three police vehicles ($108,000); and three vehicles for staff in the Public Works Department ($675,900). Sewer Fund In 2022, significant money is again allocated for the WC/WWA ($2,910,000) and $1,853,000 to engineer and construct improvements to Lift Station #5. Water Fund In 2022, there are no major changes to the operational components of the Water Fund. The primary capital project(s) will be one or both of the Booster Station Rehabilitation Projects ($1,450,000) and the SCADA System Upgrade ($567,000). Capital Projects Fund With the one cent home rule sales tax in place to supplement the natural gas use tax monies earmarked for this fund, the 2022 Capital Project Fund Budget includes $2,423,100 for street resurfacing and $984,700 for the Thomas Engineering Group. The Infrastructure Committee gave consensus to move forward with the 2022 Capital Projects Fund and the 2022 Motor Fuel Tax Fund at its November meeting. ===== PDF PAGE 26 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] Downtown TIF Fund This Fund will be terminated effective December 31, 2021, and funds obligated for projects not yet completed will be transferred to other Funds. Public Benefit Fund There are no expenses forecast for this Fund; all revenues associated with video gaming will be posted here until the Finance Committee discusses how best to allocate these monies. Oliver Square TIF Fund There are minimal expenses forecast for this Fund. Motor Fuel Tax Fund This new Fund was created in 2021 and all MFT revenues will be posted here as well as eligible expenses. Roosevelt-Fabyan TIF Fund The expenses forecast for this Fund are related to the legal and other professional services needed to evaluate the incentive requests and prepare the necessary documents for the inter- modal project currently under review.

Closing Remarks The 2022 Annual Budget and 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program will serve as a strategic guide for our organization in the coming year. The Annual Budget reflects the service levels expected by our customers, provides dedicated revenues to support our long-term infrastructure and equipment needs, and lives within our financial means. The budget prioritizes core services and administrative functions and reflects one of the leanest and most efficient municipal corporations within the Chicagoland area. West Chicago is diligently striving towards providing the highest quality services at one of the lowest costs. To continue in this tradition, all Departments will be challenged to continually evaluate their work teams and performance as well as benchmark their productivity with comparable communities and outside contractors, where applicable. Our employees continue to be the key to the City’s operational and financial success. The Annual Budget is the outcome of a great deal of hard work, dedication and effort of many people. All of the Department Directors and their staff are to be commended for their continued stewardship of the public dollar and assistance in the development of this document. vi ===== PDF PAGE 27 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] The support of Mayor Pineda and the Aldermen during this past year as the City continued with our budget strategy was remarkable. You remained supportive of staff, yet continually challenged us to live up to the old adage of “doing more with less”. I believe this was achieved throughout the organization. Finally, I would like to thank the senior management team for its tremendous assistance with the budgeting process from preparation through implementation. Sincerely, [po Michael L. Guttman City Administrator vii ===== PDF PAGE 28 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] BUDGET PHILOSOPHY AND POLICY Serving the public trust requires that the annual budget provide the best possible balance of allocation to meet the varied needs of all citizens. The budget is a principal management tool for the City administration and, in allocating the City's resources, it both reflects and defines the annual work plan. In this context, the budget provides a framework for us to accomplish our mission, which is: "To assure a safe, cohesive and dynamic community that is responsive to the needs of both citizens and businesses as it strives for continuous improvement." The budget should also reflect important organization values such as integrity, teamwork, service excellence, personal growth, and innovation. In addition to balancing allocations to meet community needs and incorporating our mission and values, a successful annual budget preparation process requires excellent communications, citizen outreach, and a commitment to excellence. To this end, the process must be a cooperative effort of the entire City organization. West Chicago prides itself on being an increasingly progressive community, willing to challenge the status quo and moving toward the "cutting edge". City staff has accepted this challenge by developing the budget within the context of a search for creative solutions for the delivery of City services. The budget will emphasize policy and procedure reviews to improve the productivity and effectiveness of service delivery to citizens and employees. Teamwork and efficiency enhancements will limit the amount of bureaucratic "red tape" required, both between functional areas within the City, and between City staff and our customers. The overriding goals must be to support the high standards set by the community and to provide long-term value at reasonable cost. The budget will be based upon timely, consistent and clearly articulated policies. It will be realistic and will include adequate resources to meet assigned work programs. Once adopted, within the parameters of policy guidelines, Department Directors will be given full spending authority for their budget(s). The budget policies of the City are rooted in a history of conservative budgeting practices. They’re based on a commitment to provide quality services while maximizing the return for each dollar spent. Revenue sources are diversified as much as possible to avoid the impacts of fluctuations in a particular revenue source. The following is the Budget Policy the City Council has used as a continuing foundation for fiscal discipline: e Revenues are conservatively projected using historical trends, reasonably expected changes in the coming year, and an analysis of anticipated economic conditions in the region, the state and the nation. Vili ===== PDF PAGE 29 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] The General Fund shall have a fund balance equal to at least 25% of revenues; the City should strive to increase this amount to 35%. The budget is flexible within each Department. Over expenditures in one line item should be compensated within the Departmental Budget. Each Department may not overspend its total Departmental Budget without prior approval. Department Directors may not exceed the staffing levels approved in the Budget. The City Administrator may authorize transfers within a fund. Major capital expenditures not related to either the water or sewer utilities for the next five years will be identified in the Capital Projects Fund Budget. This Budget will be updated on an annual basis. Smaller capital purchases may be included in each Department’s operating budget. User fees, such as water and sewer charges, will be reviewed annually. This is done to ensure that fees cover costs, if intended to do so, meet debt service requirements, and are affordable. Implementation of the Budget will be monitored continuously. Purchase orders will be issued only when adequate funding is available. Based upon experience with higher prices via the bidding process and after receiving direction from the City Council, information technology equipment purchases and maintenance contracts do not have to be bid, so long as multiple written quotes are obtained to show that the price is reasonable. All home rule sales tax receipts and taxes from the consumption of natural gas shall be deposited in the Capital Projects Fund. ix ===== PDF PAGE 30 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] 01-00 311000 311100 312000 313000 314000 315000 316000 318000 319000 321000 323000 333000 335000 336000 336100 337000 345000 345100 345200 345300 345500 347000 347500 348100 348200 348000 349500 351000 352000 353000 353500 354000 354100 354500 354600 355000 357000 361000 362000 365000 366000 367000 371000 386000 386100 386500 387800 389000 390000 Personal Property Repl.

CITY COUNCIL Performance Report on FYE 2021 Major Program Objectives Managing the organization during the COVID-19 pandemic has again consumed a significant amount of upper management time. Creating internal policies, changing the way daily business is conducted and preparing documentation to be reimbursed through the American Rescue Plan Act (approximately $3.6 million) via the State of Illinois are just a few of the tasks which staff has been working. Mid-year, Committee meetings returned to being held in- person, although City Council meetings remained virtual, due to the number of elected Officials, staff and members of the public exceeding the amount to safely socially distance within the CC Chambers. The largest issue for the community and the City Council this year was video gaming, with the number of people offering written comments at the meetings well exceeded 200 over the course of discussions. Ultimately, the City Council voted 9-5 to allow such at restaurants that also hold a liquor license. Staff distributed newly-created applications to the eligible businesses in November. Since there has yet been no public discussion about how to spend these funds, no revenue or expenses are included in the FY2022 Budget, and for now, with informal direction from the Finance Committee, any revenues received will be posted to the Public Benefit Fund. Staff also received direction on three additional items: (1) The City Code now doesn’t allow anyone under the age of 21 to work in establishments that have liquor license, which would mean, for example, that Jewel Osco in WC could not hire 18-20 year olds; this is a provision that was recently found and not currently enforced. Direction was given to amend the Code to allow people ages18-20 to work in establishments with liquor licenses so long as they are not selling or pouring alcohol, only serving or bagging/packaging it. (2) The City Code now requires restaurants that have outdoor dining and a liquor license to have access only through the main restaurant (like El Coco Loco). Direction was given to devise a license system (like the live entertainment license) to supplement the primary liquor license (so such may be suspended/revoked without loss of the main license for repeated violations) and to require that sidewalks and other areas where alcohol may be served to be chained off in some manner. (3) Direction was given to reduce the minimum square footage for supermarkets to obtain a liquor license to sell cold beer and wine from 20,000 sf to 15,000 sf, which would allow Carnicerias Jimenez (Main/Neltnor) to obtain such. Finally, the noise violations by the owners of the Cairo Ale House took a significant amount of staff and lawyer time in 2021. ===== PDF PAGE 34 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] City of West Chicage CITY COUNCIL Description of Major Activities The City Council is comprised of the elected Mayor and fourteen Aldermen, two from each Ward.

Even though all paperwork had been previously submitted, new paperwork and new forms were needed to process our grant. At the time of this writing, all that is needed is a new (and now different) form from the Internal Revenue Service, which should be two weeks away. The final year of implementation of the Strategic Plan objectives was slowed due to the state of the economy and the need to monitor spending. The new Economic Development Plan was approved by the City Council, which was a key priority detailed in the Strategic Plan. As the updated Comprehensive Plan was a significant project in 2021, thoughts of an updated Strategic Plan were placed on hold, especially since many of the Comp Plan’s recommendations mirror what one might find in a Strategic Plan. Supplementing normal activities of the Marketing/Communications Division as outlined in its Program Description, the following identified goals for FY 2021 were met: the creation of a new design for Window to West Chicago which introduced new formatting and a heavier emphasis on integrated visuals to complement content; a continued focus on COVID-19 communications with particular emphasis on vaccination as a primary means of mitigating the virus; the disposal of digital records per State guidelines for website content through 2017. Additionally, the promotion of a newly formed collaboration with the DuPage Symphony Orchestra and requests for communication/marketing assistance from HWC, DMMC, Garden Club, PMV, SCARCE, the Fire Protection District and other community partners to promote healthy programs, art-related activities, and environmental efforts and more were accommodated. The launch of a new section of the City website dedicated to Environmental Stewardship and a pilot program to honor West Chicago veterans were also prioritized and successfully achieved. The City is currently searching for a new Marketing and Communications Coordinator due to Rosemary’s scheduled retirement in early 2022. The City hired and staff worked with GovHR to recruit our new Chief of Police and Director of Public Works, after the incumbents retired from those positions. Finally, the Healthy West Chicago initiative adopted a Sustainability Plan, focused on raising funds. As a part of the Plan, District 33, the Library District and Winfield Township committed to matching funds from the City over the next two-three years, resulting in the City budgeting $35,000 for this Program over that time period. Also, Ball Horticultural, OSI Industries and DS Containers offered three years of funding for this effort. ===== PDF PAGE 38 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] City of West Chicago CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S OFFICE Administration Description of Major Activities The City Administrator and staff direct the administration and execution of policies and goals formulated by the City Council and propose alternative solutions to community problems for City Council consideration.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT Performance Report on FYE 2021 Major Program Objectives The Administrative Services Department began FYE 2021 with continued recovery work and efforts to remediate the City’s network, infrastructure and operating systems, post-breach, after being the target of a ransomware attack by a variant of malware called “Ryuk” that occurred during FYE 2020. As part of the ransomware attack, files on servers and user PCs were encrypted, resulting in a loss of services, data and files, including reports and files that had to be recreated for fiscal year financial reporting. The IT Division continued its systems and hardware upgrades, as well as upgrades to the back up and Anti-Virus technologies that now provides for state of the art protection and security. During the latter part of the year, the IT Division completed a comprehensive project to organize and sort current and existing user accounts, and disable user accounts that should no longer be active within the Active Directory. A WiFi upgrade project was also substantially completed, with installation and reconfiguration at City Hall, Police, Streets and the Water Treatment Plant facilities; all are now running on a robust, high speed network with public and private components. Several custom ArcGIS Online web applications were created and published on the City’s website. While the classic online template was used for these web applications, a new methodology will be used in FYE 2022 that utilizes an automatic update to the new template. Research and consultation was started for the GIS Needs Analysis project plan, and a preliminary draft report has been submitted by the project consultant. For the past ten years, water and sewer usage has been billed to customers on a delayed billing cycle until accounts are current, at increments of four months usage via an alternated schedule by billing district. The delayed billing cycle resulted from equipment and data issues that were prevalent (and continue) during the water meter replacement program. In December, bills were issued to the remaining 1,600 customers whose accounts and billings were not current, for the outstanding usage period of 24 to 36 months. To accomplish this billing, reading data and reading equipment identification numbers were tracked, edited and compiled for nearly 400 accounts, due to equipment malfunctions that occurred during the extended reading period being billed. A payment tracking system is being developed to apply customer payments and monitor outstanding balances on customer accounts during the extended period that customers will be allowed to pay the amount that was billed. 16 ===== PDF PAGE 47 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] City of West Chicage ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT Human Resources Description of Major Activities All human resources activities are administered and coordinated in compliance with applicable Civil Service ordinance and rules, State and Federal requirements, and Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines.
