===== PDF PAGE 1 ===== [Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)] CITY OF WEST CHICAGO 2026 Proposed Budget Tia Messino ===== PDF PAGE 2 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] WHERE HISTORY & PROGRESS MEET November 6, 2025 Dear Mayor Bovey and Members of the City Council, I am pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget for the City of West Chicago, in accordance with Section 2-146 of the City Code. The Annual Budget is both a financial plan and a policy tool. It outlines the City’s anticipated revenues and adopted expenditures for the coming year and guides the delivery of services to the 25,614 residents and more than 800 businesses who call West Chicago home. The 2026 Annual Budget totals $68,965,106, a 20.06% increase from FY 2025, which is primarily driven by Capital Projects and progress on Community Park and Downtown Revitalization. Whereas, the General Fund, which supports core municipal operations, reflects a small 2% increase, continuing the City’s approach of disciplined operating spending paired with strategic capital investment. The key projects included in this Budget are based on City Council and public feedback, through workshops and planning documents like the Comprehensive Plan. Context and Approach Over the past decade, the diversity of the City has grown and with it, the opportunity to serve the needs of a variety of customers. Through adaptability, the use of technology, innovative staffing, and furthering intergovernmental and public/private partnerships, the organization continues to rise to the challenge of balancing fiscal responsibility with enhancing quality of life. This year’s budget process included expanded presentations and engagement, multi-year capital planning, and active review of reserves, revenues, and operational expenditures. The result is a budget that is balanced for FY 2026 while planning ahead for challenges in future years. This Budget marks the twenty-second year of adhering to the City Council’s Budget Policy and implementing a strategy that addresses the structural and cyclical budgetary challenges that continue to face the City of West Chicago. This strategy includes five major components: Reduction in Operating Expenditures To address rising operating costs, the City annually undergoes a precise budgeting process to align the organization’s expenditure and revenue patterns. This balances fiscal responsibility with infrastructure and service investment to provide a good quality of life for our residents and business community. Meet Reserve Requirements The City met its reserve requirement of 35% for the operating funds as detailed in Resolution No. 02-R-0073. ===== PDF PAGE 3 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] Identification and Implementation of New Revenues The FY 2026 General Fund is balanced, with the standard 4.9% property tax levy increase offsetting rising police pension costs. However, staff anticipates a structural gap of roughly $1.26 million in future years due to the loss of the grocery tax ($425,000) and lower projected red-light enforcement revenues. This challenge is not new. In 2019, the City faced a $2.8 million gap following State reductions to municipal revenue sharing and decreased enforcement revenue. Since then, the City has taken a disciplined approach to restoring balance by modernizing adjudication processes, rebuilding Police Department staffing, and aligning expenditures with service priorities. Personnel- generated revenues have rebounded to levels appropriate for a community of our size. Although municipalities statewide have regained some of the previously diverted State revenues, the full funding formula has not been restored. To maintain long-term stability, staff continues to pursue grants, streamline operations, and periodically review fees to reflect actual service costs and peer benchmarks. The City Council has authorized the replacement municipal grocery tax but deferred implementation; this option remains available if needed to preserve core services. While FY 2026 is balanced, the City must prepare for future years. Continued attention to strategic revenue diversification, measured cost control, and targeted economic development will be essential to maintaining stable service delivery and avoiding sharp adjustments later. Increased Economic Development Focus The City’s Economic Development Program is designed to broaden and stabilize the sales and real estate tax base, allowing West Chicago to generate more local revenue and support services sustainably. In late 2024, the City established the Business and Community Relations (BCR) Department to unify economic development, communications and marketing, special events, cultural programming, and community partnerships. This structure ensures that economic development is woven into the City’s identity. Marketing efforts highlight investment opportunities, cultural programming strengthens shared community experience, and events create platforms that support local businesses and attract visitors. Together, these initiatives reinforce West Chicago’s competitiveness and demonstrate how public investment can encourage private growth, expand the tax base, and create long-term economic vitality. In 2025, this new structure produced visible results. The City launched the Downtown Investment Program and updated the Retail & Restaurant Grant Program to encourage private reinvestment. More than $86,000 was awarded through the Downtown Investment Program, reinforcing downtown as an attractive place to invest, and the revised Retail & Restaurant Grant Program is expected to assist an existing restaurant before year end. Quarterly Downtown Owners Meetings improved collaboration among property owners, which led to the City’s first coordinated Small Business Saturday promotion. These initiatives, combined with the creation of a Marketing Blueprint and a new website, InWestChicago.com, laid the groundwork for sustained economic growth. ii ===== PDF PAGE 4 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] The 2026 Budget builds on this momentum by funding the implementation of the 2026–2028 Economic Development Work Plan, carrying out the Marketing Blueprint, and promoting InWestChicago.com as a lifestyle and investment platform. Additional priorities include supporting the Downtown Revitalization Commission and advancing marketing initiatives to reduce commercial vacancies and attract investment. These steps reinforce West Chicago’s competitiveness and help build a resilient and diverse local economy. Maintain and Improve City Services The City has a proud history of challenging our employees to provide exceptional services even during tough economic climates. While implementing this five-part budgeting strategy, the City prioritized balancing fiscal responsibility with excellent service to enhance the quality of life for our residents and businesses. We are successful in achieving all of the Budget Policy parameters in the proposed FY 2026 Budget. Significant Highlights – All Funds Personnel Changes – The temporary Management Fellow internship has been discontinued and replaced with a full-time Business Support Specialist to support the City’s continued emphasis on economic development and business engagement. Insurance Costs – The City’s general liability/workers’ compensation insurance costs are estimated to increase by about four percent. Premiums will remain unchanged for employees covered through the Operating Engineers Health and Welfare Plan per the Collective Bargaining Agreement. For employees enrolled in the City’s plans through the IPBC, total budgeted premiums will increase by about 10% for the 2026 plan year, reflecting broader cost trends within the Cooperative and the City. Customer Impact – No service reductions are proposed in the FY 2026 Budget. Staff are continuing to lay groundwork for future enhancements, including implementation of online building permitting, expanded community events, and investment in the new Community Park.

Nearly all core City service expenditures are budgeted here, aside from water and sewer operations. There are four key revenue sources, accounting for 72.57% of the total General Fund revenues: Sales and Use Taxes 26.16% Property Tax 21.23% Income Tax 19.37% Electric Use Tax 5.80% 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 standard inflationary adjustments, notable highlights within the General Fund include: • City Council – Expanded meeting translation services and relocated grants to the new Business and Community Relations accounts resulting in a department budget decrease. • City Administrator’s Office – A reduction of approximately 10%, primarily due to transferring the Marketing and Communications function to the Business and Community Relations Department. • Finance Department – A modest increase associated with early retirement incentive costs and continued modernization of financial systems. • Police Department – No major operational changes; increases reflect overtime for community events and continued pension cost growth. • Public Works Department – A small increase of roughly 3% tied to routine program adjustments. • Community Development Department – Several services have transitioned to the Business and Community Relations Department, reducing the Community Development Department budget by more than 40% and sharpening its focus on land use, development review, permitting, and long-range planning. iv ===== PDF PAGE 6 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] • Business and Community Relations Department – This new department reflects a strategic, organization-wide focus on economic development, cultural vitality, business support, and community engagement. Capital Equipment Replacement Fund This Internal Service Fund is supported by the General, Water and Sewer Funds. The FY 2026 Budget reflects a 64% increase from the prior year, due to large price increases and market delayed purchases. Major scheduled replacements include six Police Explorer vehicles ($394,000), dump and plow trucks ($674,000), a sanitary Vactor ($573,200), three Public Works trucks ($200,500), and a zero-turn mower ($15,700). Sewer Fund In FY 2026, expenses are projected to increase 6.65% due to capital outlay after the completion of the A2O Project. Regular, incremental rate increases continue in 2026 as already approved by the City Council in 2023. Water Fund In FY 2026, there are no major changes to the operational components of the Water Fund. The 7.65% increase in expenses is primarily driven by planned capital projects, including the York Avenue watermain replacement ($1,409,200), Helena Drive Booster Station mechanical rehabilitation ($793,732), the Water Treatment Plant filter project ($460,000), RTU replacements ($318,000), and initial design work for Phase 1 of the Lead Service Line Replacement Program ($120,000). Regular, incremental rate increases continue as previously approved by the City Council in 2023. Capital Projects Fund FY 2026 features a strong 105.28% increase in proposed infrastructure expenditures. On January 1, 2024, the City added a 0.5% home rule sales tax, earmarked for industrial street improvements. Combined with the existing 1% home rule sales tax, it supplements the natural gas use tax allocated to this Fund. For 2026, the Capital Projects Fund includes $10,067,900 for street improvements and $2,592,900 for professional engineering, architectural, and environmental services. It also provides $675,000 for demolition and preliminary remediation design at 119 W. Washington Street. The Infrastructure Committee gave consensus to move forward with the 2026 Capital Projects Fund, CERF, and the Motor Fuel Tax Funds at its November meeting. Downtown TIF2 Fund This fund has experienced an increase in allocations for advertising and the Downtown Investment Program. Community Park Fund This fund is supported primarily by video gaming revenues and is dedicated to the capital and operating costs of the new Community Park. Proposed for 2026 is $1,850,000 to complete the Phase 0 landscape construction for the Park. The Budget Policy was also updated to direct any v ===== PDF PAGE 7 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] General Fund balance above the 35% reserve threshold to the Downtown Revitalization Fund rather than this fund, in accordance with the schedule outlined in the policy. Downtown Revitalization Fund This new fund supports the capital, event, and operating costs associated with downtown revitalization. A beginning fund balance will be established through a $200,000 transfer from the Community Park Fund, which will be reimbursed by year-end. In addition, any FY 2025 budget surplus exceeding the 35% reserve policy will be transferred in 2026. Oliver Square TIF Fund There is $200,000 budgeted for economic development incentives associated with the potential reuse of the Old Time Pottery building. Motor Fuel Tax Fund In FY 2026, $3,402,100 in street improvement projects are proposed for this Fund. Roosevelt-Fabyan TIF Fund There is a moderate increase in this Fund’s Budget for Poorman Parkway roadway design. Commuter Parking Fund There is a slight increase in this Fund’s Budget for tuckpointing and retaining wall improvement engineering. Closing Remarks The 2026 Annual Budget and 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program will serve as a strategic guide for the year ahead. This budget maintains expected service levels, supports long-term infrastructure and equipment needs, and remains within the City’s financial capacity. It prioritizes balancing a high quality of life with fiscal responsibility. Our employees remain central to the City’s operational and financial success. The Annual Budget is the outcome of a great deal of hard work, dedication and effort. 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. I also appreciate the support and engagement of the Mayor and City Council during this updated budgeting approach. You remained supportive of staff yet challenged us to balance our fiscal responsibility with responsiveness to community needs. Finally, I would like to thank the senior management team for its tremendous collaboration from development through implementation. Sincerely, Tia J. Messino Interim City Administrator vi ===== PDF PAGE 8 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] 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 residents and businesses. The budget is a principal management tool for City administration and, in allocating the City's resources, it both reflects and defines the annual work plan. The budget provides a framework to achieve the City’s mission: "To assure a safe, cohesive and dynamic community that is responsive to the needs of both residents and businesses as it strives for continuous improvement." It should also embody organizational values such as integrity, teamwork, service excellence, personal growth, and innovation. A successful budget process requires clear communication, inclusive engagement, and a commitment to excellence. The process must be cooperative, transparent, and data-driven— linking resources to measurable outcomes, community priorities, and strategic goals. West Chicago continues to move toward a forward-looking and progressive approach, emphasizing efficiency, creativity, and responsiveness. Each year’s budget builds on this foundation by identifying opportunities to streamline operations, modernize systems, and improve customer service. Staff are encouraged to challenge the status quo and propose innovative approaches that provide long-term value at reasonable cost. The budget will be based upon timely, consistent and clearly articulated policies that incorporate community input. 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 City’s budget policies reflect conservative fiscal management, long-term sustainability, and a balanced approach to growth and investment. 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 may use as a continuing foundation for fiscal discipline: • Revenues shall be conservatively projected based on historical trends, known changes in the upcoming year, and analysis of regional, state, and national economic conditions. • Water, sewer, and other user fees shall be reviewed annually to ensure rates cover the intended share of costs, meet debt obligations, and remain affordable. • The General Fund shall maintain a fund balance equal to at least 25% of annual revenues; the City should strive to increase this amount to 35% to provide financial stability. • All video gaming revenues shall be deposited into the Community Park Fund. vii ===== PDF PAGE 9 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] • Once the annual audit confirms year-end balances, any General Fund surplus exceeding 35% shall be allocated according to the following schedule: Fiscal Year Downtown Revitalization Fund Community Park Fund 2025 Surplus 100% 0% 2026 Surplus 80% 20% 2027 Surplus 75% 25% • 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. • Implementation of the Budget shall 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 or else it is a justified sole source purchase. • All home rule sales tax receipts and taxes from the consumption of natural gas shall be deposited in the Capital Projects Fund. viii ===== PDF PAGE 10 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago GENERAL FUND PROJECTED REVENUE 01-00 2024 2025 2025 2026 2027 2028 Actual Budgeted Estimated Proposed Projected Projected 311000 Personal Property Repl.

Under the Council’s direction, the City engaged MGT to assist with the recruitment of a new City Administrator and introduced a more transparent and educational budget process to strengthen public understanding of City operations and finances. The Mayor and City Council also invited nonprofit, business, and community leaders to share input on the desired qualities and priorities for the next City Administrator—an effort reflecting the City’s commitment to inclusive and participatory governance. Guided by the Mayor’s focus on revitalization and community pride, the City Council established the Downtown Revitalization Commission and approved creation of a dedicated Downtown Revitalization Fund to support long-term improvement projects. The Council also voted to delay implementation of the grocery tax until a demonstrated fiscal need arises, underscoring a balanced, data-driven approach to financial management and sensitivity to community impact. To further advance accessibility and engagement, the Mayor and City Council directed staff to identify and implement new translation technologies, enabling live Spanish translation at City Council meetings through QR code access and televised display. The microphone system in Council Chambers was also restored to full functionality, improving both the clarity and professionalism of public meetings and reinforcing the City’s transparency goals. The Mayor and City Council continued to invest in organizational leadership through the Executive Coaching Program, which is helping strengthen communication, alignment, and management capacity during a period of extensive transition.

Responsibilities were redistributed to ensure operational continuity, and Administration focused on maintaining stability, supporting leadership transitions, and preparing for the recruitment of a new City Administrator. This shift influenced the timing and prioritization of other planned objectives. Administration supported Finance’s launch of a new timekeeping system that improved payroll accuracy and efficiency. The new employee intranet strengthened internal communications, allowing Human Resources to share benefits updates, engagement materials, and gather feedback. Employee surveys and suggestion boxes were introduced to collect staff perspectives and identify opportunities for improvement. Human Resources completed key recruitments, negotiated with Local 150, hosted the annual Employee Benefits Fair, and advanced staff engagement through initiatives such as the West ChicaG.O.A.T. program. The City advanced Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) efforts through bilingual and accessible content, technology upgrades, expanded translation tools, and employee recognition initiatives- laying the groundwork for a more formal DEIB framework in the coming year. Information Technology maintained secure and reliable infrastructure, pivoting from replacing camera servers to two older and more critical host servers. The City also completed rollout of rugged laptops for Police and upgraded all remaining Windows 10 devices ahead of end-of-life deadlines. Quarterly IT training reinforced cybersecurity awareness and technical proficiency. GIS expanded internal and public-facing applications, including updates to the Capital Improvement Program tracker, special event coordination tools, and vandalism reporting systems. The GIS Coordinator also enhanced cemetery mapping with veteran status data and initiated evaluation of outdated software platforms for future upgrades. GIS assisted the Community Development Department with implementing new permit and code enforcement software, supporting more efficient and transparent service delivery. Administration also managed increased Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and meeting preparation responsibilities due to heightened public engagement and expanded transparency initiatives. Longer public meetings, additional presentation materials, and greater translation needs reflected the City’s commitment to open and accessible government. The City concluded its engagement with the public relations firm in early 2025 and transitioned community relations functions to the Business and Community Relations Department. This move built on prior training and strengthened internal capacity for communication and public engagement, allowing Administration to focus on organization-wide coordination, performance tracking, and leadership transition planning. 8 ===== PDF PAGE 18 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S OFFICE Human Resources Description of Major Activities All human resources activities are administered and coordinated in compliance with applicable internal policies and rules, State and Federal requirements, and Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines.

In partnership with the Police Department, Finance assisted in establishing a new receipting process allowing payments to be accepted directly at the Police Departmen, improving front- counter operations and customer convenience. To increase efficiency in utility billing, a lockbox payment system was introduced, significantly reducing manual data entry. Utility bills were reformatted to include detailed meter readings and billing calculations, making statements more user-friendly and informative. Customer feedback on these improvements has been overwhelmingly positive. Approximately 1,500 utility accounts were realigned from the north side billing cycle back to the south side. This adjustment restored the original distribution prior to the water meter replacement program, ensuring more proportional billing and supporting the Public Works Department in balancing their workload. This year also marked the successful implementation of the Passport Mobile App for commuter parking. In collaboration with Public Works, the app was promoted through new signage and outreach, offering commuters a modern, convenient way to pay for train station parking. This initiative allowed for the removal of two obsolete pay machines, avoiding replacement and ongoing maintenance costs. Internally, the Department achieved a 99% transition to paperless payroll, reducing costs associated with printing, envelopes, and postage, while eliminating the need to reissue checks lost in the mail. Payroll time entry was also streamlined through the introduction of automated file imports, reducing the potential for data entry errors and saving time during both entry and review. Finally, the Finance Department has worked diligently with all City departments to promote financial transparency and education, particularly through presentations and workshops conducted during the annual budgeting process. These efforts have strengthened interdepartmental collaboration and provided the public with greater insight into the City’s financial operations. Collectively, these accomplishments demonstrate the Finance Department’s ongoing commitment to operational excellence, fiscal responsibility, and responsive service to the community. 21 ===== PDF PAGE 31 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago FINANCE DEPARTMENT Accounting Description of Major Activities The Accounting Division staff directs, records and reports on all financial transactions and operations of the City.

Leadership development remained a priority, with additional Sergeants and Officers completing advanced training programs. The Department also expanded multi-departmental collaboration, conducting large-scale training exercises to prepare for active assailant and disaster scenarios. Recruitment and outreach efforts resulted in the hiring of a new Officer, several Police Cadets, and a College intern, building a pipeline for the department’s future workforce. DUI enforcement remained a key focus, with officers making over 250 DUI arrests and earning recognition from state and national organizations. The Department’s newly certified Drug Recognition Expert, one of only 54 in the state, played a pivotal role in identifying impaired drivers and promoting roadway safety. Community engagement efforts were bolstered with the addition of a civilian Community Relations Officer. The Police Chief participated in the "Coffee with the Mayor", providing residents the opportunity to discuss public safety and community policing initiatives. Additionally, the Mayor accompanied the Chief for outreach to local donating businesses for the Department’s annual Cop on Top fundraiser. The department hosted National Night Out at Reed-Keppler Park for the first time, offering family-friendly activities, music, and interactive displays that fostered connections among residents, police, and partner agencies. The new location provided a more relaxed atmosphere that encouraged conversation and strengthened community relationships, with the evening concluding in a movie in the park for children. The Department implemented tip411, a new platform allowing residents to anonymously share information about crime via text, app, or website. This system enables two-way communication while protecting the sender’s identity and allows residents to sign up for public safety alerts, advancing transparency and accessibility. The Social Services Coordinator continued to provide critical support during emergencies, including assisting residents displaced by a severe winter storm. Collaboration with local Community Partners ensured resources were quickly mobilized to meet residents’ needs. In May, the Department launched the new DACRA ticket and adjudication software, streamlining processing and allowing immediate online fine payments. Within six months, collections exceeded $123,000, modernizing the City’s adjudication process and enhancing convenience for residents. 27 ===== PDF PAGE 37 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago POLICE DEPARTMENT Operations Description of Major Activities Operations is made up of the Support Services and Patrol Divisions.

Its primary function continues to be one of support/relief for the West Chicago Police Department. Typically, ESDA provides assistance at major traffic accidents, protects evidence at crime scenes, and protects the public and property in the event of weather-related damage. ESDA volunteers are trained to spot potentially hazardous weather that may affect the City or western DuPage County. It is part of a multi-county network of weather spotters, providing first-hand information to the DuPage County Office of Emergency Management. This information is used for countywide severe weather alerts and is passed on to the National Weather Service. Storm spotting also enables ESDA to provide warnings of potentially dangerous weather conditions to the residents of West Chicago. All members of ESDA are required to maintain certification as Severe Weather Spotters. Since 1991, ESDA has maintained an Outdoor Warning Siren System to warn residents of approaching tornados, major emergencies, or the possible threat of an attack on the United States. The current siren system contains eight sirens. With the new telemetry system in place, all sirens are "growl tested" weekly. Sirens are fully tested by DuComm on the first Tuesday of each month. The full test consists of a three-minute steady tone. The growl test activates each siren for approximately one second and is used to verify that all key components in the siren system are operational. FYE 2026 Program Objectives (1) Recruit and train five new ESDA volunteers to strengthen the team and ensure succession planning by December 2026. (2) Conduct training with the Police Department related to a natural disaster by December 2026. 30 ===== PDF PAGE 40 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] POLICE Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA) 01-06-14 Actual Budgeted Estimated Proposed Projected Projected Expense Item 2024 2025 2025 2026 2027 2028 CONTRACTUAL: 4110 Training and Tuition - 200 200 200 300 400 4202 Telephone and Alarms 7,804 6,400 5,000 6,600 6,800 7,100 4225 Other Contractual Services 6,182 6,600 2,500 6,800 7,100 7,400 4429 Radio Repair - - - - - - Sub-Total $13,986 $13,200 $7,700 $13,600 $14,200 $14,900 COMMODITIES: 4604 Tools & Equipment 9 100 100 200 - - 4607 Gas and Oil 479 800 800 900 1,000 1,100 4615 Uniforms& Safety Equipment - 2,500 2,500 1,500 1,600 1,700 4650 Miscellaneous Commodities 338 100 100 200 300 400 Sub-Total 827 $3,500 $3,500 $2,800 $2,900 $3,200 CAPITAL OUTLAY: 4804 Vehicles - - - - - - 4806 Other Capital Outlay - - - - - - Sub-Total $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 Total $14,813 $16,700 $11,200 $16,400 $17,100 $18,100 31 ===== PDF PAGE 41 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Financial Summary 2024 2025 2025 2026 2027 Program Actual Budgeted Estimated Proposed Projected Administration 251,082 256,000 259,900 263,600 272,000 Municipal Properties 456,212 458,200 410,900 469,640 483,600 Forestry 105,932 138,000 113,700 142,600 168,200 Cemeteries 67,782 90,700 81,700 88,400 91,300 Road and Bridge 1,429,012 1,500,900 1,371,800 1,546,820 1,638,100 Maintenance Garage 502,549 476,000 457,100 496,550 513,700 TOTAL $2,812,569 $2,919,800 $2,695,100 $3,007,610 $3,166,900 32 ===== PDF PAGE 42 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Performance Report on FYE 2025 Major Program Objectives In FY 2025, Staff successfully collaborated with consulting engineers to complete the 2025 Annual Roadway Rehabilitation Project, the EDP (Economic Development Program) grant-funded Nuclear and Northwest Ave. Reconstruction Project, and the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) grant-funded Bishop and Brown St. Project, along with annual maintenance programs such as Pavement Rejuvenation, Crack Filling, Sidewalk & Curb and Gutter Replacement, Sidewalk Cutting, and Street Striping throughout the City.

The Department partnered with Business and Community Relations Department and elected officials to establish the Downtown Revitalization Commission, providing staff support and technical guidance to help shape a vibrant, mixed-use downtown district. Work progressed on the Historic Resources Survey, documenting key historic and architectural assets to guide redevelopment while honoring West Chicago’s heritage. Staff prepared several Zoning Text Amendments, including provisions for backyard chickens, temporary seasonal outdoor activities, donation bins, and indoor sports facilities. Work also began to update sections of the Zoning Code to promote a more active and sustainable downtown, aligning regulations with modern land-use and design practices. In addition, minor amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map were adopted to reflect current development trends and community needs. Implementation continued for CloudPermit, a new online permitting software designed to improve permit tracking, streamline review workflows, and enhance customer service. The Department oversaw several key capital and redevelopment projects, including the partial demolition and repair of the Washington Street Train Station, completed in August 2025 with 100% of the $100,000 cost covered by state funding. Additional demolitions along Main Street support future redevelopment and provide temporary flexible space for downtown events and programing. Community Park partial design was completed and permitting documents were prepared to position the project for 2026 construction. Internally, the Department evaluated the functions of its Engineering Division, reorganizing duties and reporting responsibilities to improve workflow and cross-departmental coordination. The Engineering team also began providing in-house support for Citywide technical and design-related tasks, improving efficiency and reducing reliance on external consultants. 47 ===== PDF PAGE 57 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Planning & Engineering Description of Major Activities Planning and Engineering oversees zoning, short and long-range planning, historic preservation, engineering for private development, subdivision of property, stormwater management, and other community initiatives.

By consolidating economic development, communications and marketing, special events, cultural programming, community partnerships, and City Museum operations into one department, the City strengthened coordination and improved delivery of services that support residents, businesses, and community partners. BCR now serves as the City’s central hub for outreach, engagement, and investment—key drivers of West Chicago’s long-term vitality. The department combines:  The Marketing & Communications Program and community partnerships formerly within the City Administrator’s Office;  Economic development initiatives from the Planning, Engineering & Economic Development and Building & Code Enforcement Programs from the Community Development Department; and  The Special Events and City Museum Program from the Community Development Department. The Business & Community Relations (BCR) Department had a landmark first year in 2025, advancing initiatives that strengthen investment, celebrate cultural vitality, and build stronger connections within the community. Downtown revitalization was a major focus. Staff hosted quarterly Downtown Owners Meetings that improved coordination among property owners and produced the City’s first coordinated Small Business Saturday promotion. To encourage continued reinvestment, the Department launched and promoted the Downtown Investment Program, awarding more than $86,000 in grants that are helping to make downtown an attractive and desirable place to invest. The revised Retail & Restaurant Grant Program also gained traction, with the first award to an existing restaurant expected by year’s end. BCR also laid the foundation for future growth by creating InWestChicago.com, a new lifestyle and investment-focused website set to launch in November. Combined with the Marketing Blueprint, these tools elevate West Chicago’s visibility in the investment community and showcase its quality of life. Community engagement and cultural initiatives were equally central to 2025 accomplishments. BCR coordinated the Mexican Independence Day celebration in partnership with a new organizer and community partners, expanded accessibility at City Council and Downtown 54 ===== PDF PAGE 64 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] Owners Meetings through live translation, and hosted a spring open house highlighting capital projects, economic development initiatives and police partnerships. The Department also collaborated with Public Works on outreach and design input for the Downtown Modernization & Beautification Project, which continues into 2026. At the City Museum, BCR oversaw the launch of its first-ever online collections database, expanding access to West Chicago’s history and attracting new audiences through improved event coordination. Together, these accomplishments reflect the Department’s role as a connector, linking businesses, residents, and community partners to foster civic pride, cultural heritage, and a more competitive West Chicago. Moving forward, BCR’s budget is structured around two major program areas to ensure alignment with strategic City goals and community needs:  Economic Development  Community Engagement & Communications By aligning these functions, BCR ensures that economic growth and community engagement are integrated priorities. This structure enables West Chicago to position itself as both a competitive location for investment and a welcoming, connected community for residents and businesses alike. Together, these efforts have established a strong foundation for BCR’s continued growth in 2026, as the department builds on early successes to strengthen local investment, cultural engagement, and community connection. 55 ===== PDF PAGE 65 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago BUSINESS & COMMUNITY RELATIONS Economic Development Description of Major Activities This program funds key projects and strategic tools that drive private investment, attract and retain businesses, and revitalize West Chicago’s commercial areas.

All vehicles were identified and evaluated as to current condition and useful life expectancy. The current fleet inventory was evaluated throughout the year to reduce the overall fleet. Assets that were no longer serviceable were declared surplus and auctioned. All budgeted vehicles and equipment were replaced either through the bidding process or participation in the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Program, the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) Joint Purchasing Program, the Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA) Joint Purchasing Program, or other local joint purchasing opportunities. Such replacements include police patrol vehicles, light and heavy-duty vehicles for public works and administrative vehicles; however, the delivery timeframe for equipment will vary significantly. The ten-year plan will receive annual scrutiny so that the City can more closely schedule major vehicle replacements in relation to available resources. 65 ===== PDF PAGE 75 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago CAPITAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND Description of Major Activities These elements provide for the scheduled replacement of existing vehicles and equipment for all City departments.

One permit excursion of the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit was reported in 2024 with one permit excursion estimated for 2025. As a result of the Pre-Treatment Program, the City issued four industrial user violation notices in 2024 with five violation notices estimated for 2025. The A2O Aeration Basin Project is currently under construction with completion anticipated by December 2025. The storm sewer and overland drainage conveyance systems associated with Special Service Area #2, which are tributary to the retention basin on Hawthorne Lane, Stormwater Lift Station #8, and Kress Creek, were maintained during the Fiscal Year 2025. Division staff continue with the Citywide Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program by continuing with 2025 Sanitary Sewer Repairs in the southern portion of the City. The focus since 2023 is directed to repairing the sanitary collection system until all outstanding items have been addressed from the past and current Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Surveys (SSES). The 2025 SSES Repair Program will be completed in November 2025. The 2025 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program includes a trenchless method of installing cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) inside 2556’ of 27” sewer along Roosevelt Road. This sewer is part of the sanitary sewer interceptor that flows directly to the wastewater treatment plant. All sanitary lift station pumps were inspected for maintenance in 2025. These inspections included checking pumps for wear, changing lubricants, and testing electric motors for operational efficiency. Lift stations are monitored daily for operational efficiency in the continued effort to reduce operational costs. Staff continued the routine cleaning and televising of City’s sanitary sewer system to maintain compliance with its Capacity, Management, Operation, and Maintenance Program (CMOM). Over a three-year period, City staff maintained over 95 miles of sanitary sewer main and 2,200 manholes for the CMOM program. 71 ===== PDF PAGE 81 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago SPECIAL SERVICE AREA #2 Description of Major Activities Personnel from the Utility Division are responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of the pumping facility in the Special Service Area (SSA) #2.

Through ongoing operational analysis and the annual system wide leak detection survey, water efficiency continues to improve even with new growth and development. The 2024 system wide leak detection survey identified 36 leaks, all promptly repaired by Utilities Division staff. WTP staff successfully completed all IEPA and USEPA required sampling and monitoring in 2025 including new testing requirements for lead. We are pleased to report no violations of State or federal drinking water standards in 2025. As part of the ongoing maintenance program for the raw water distribution system, the well pump and motor assembly at Well #12 was inspected and rebuilt. The City also completed its Lead Service Line Replacement Plan and, although initial funding was not awarded for 2026, will reapply to replace approximately 800 lead service lines throughout the City. The Booster Station #8 project was bid in April 2025 and is slated to be completed in January 2026. Design of the proposed water tower continues with plans to be finalized and funding applied for in 2026. The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Division finalized several construction projects in 2025, including design of the filter rehabilitation project and the Roof Top unit (RTU) HVAC Replacement Project. Staff continued to make operational changes in the WTP during 2025, reducing operational costs which offset increased electrical and material costs in other areas. With much of the facility and equipment nearing 20 years of operational use, additional component replacements due to naturally occurring wear and tear are budgeted for in the CIP plan. The Department continues to review operational strategies to increase efficiency while reducing overall costs and meeting customer service needs. 81 ===== PDF PAGE 91 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago, WATER PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION Description of Major Activities This program covers all expenditures associated with the routine operation and maintenance of the City’s nine wells, two elevated storage tanks, three ground storage tanks, water main, fire hydrants, valves, water meters, and service connections.

The design includes an entry garden at Ann Street, an 8-foot wide asphalt path, two picnic shelters, picnic tables, benches, a monarch waystation, interpretive signage, trees, and 80,000 square feet of native prairie. The estimated construction cost of this phase is $1.4 million. Construction documents have been drafted, and bidding of the project can occur in 2026. This Phase is being funded in part through $2 million in federal funding secured by Congressman Sean Casten in 2022. This portion of the property has been fully remediated and received a clean bill of health from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. In 2025, the City entered into a lease agreement with Weston Solutions, Inc., trustee of the property, for this section of the park. Full property transfer will occur once remediation and IEPA approval are complete for the remaining acreage. 10 9 ===== PDF PAGE 119 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] City of West Chicago COMMUNITY PARK FUND Description of Major Activities This Fund, formerly the Public Benefit Fund, supports the capital and operating costs associated with the development of the new Community Park. Following years of cleanup and remediation of the former Kerr-McGee property located on the City’s south side by Weston Solutions, Inc (trustee for the property), the City is preparing to move forward with construction of the first phase of a community park for all residents to enjoy. In Fall 2022, the City contracted with Upland Design Group, Ltd. to prepare a Master Park Plan for the 44-acre site, along with a phasing plan outlining how the park will be constructed over time. The planning process relied heavily on community engagement including two public forums at City Hall and two online surveys to solicit public input on amenities and elements for the park. The Master Park Plan and phasing plan were approved by the City Council in August 2023, with total park construction estimated at $15 million. FYE 2026 PROGRAM OBJECTIVES (1) Construction of Phase 0 of the Community Park, encompassing the northernmost five acres of the property- from Ann Street to just south of Pomeroy Street by November 2026. This phase includes: a. Entry Garden at Ann Street b. An 8-foot wide, 2,000-foot asphalt path c. Two picnic shelters d. Picnic tables, including ADA-accessible seating e. Benches along the path f.
