AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ITEM TITLE:

Draft 2027 Budget

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 5D
COMMITTEE DATE: November 2, 2026

COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: November 2, 2026


PREPARED BY: Katrina Hanna, Finance Director

SIGNATURE__________________________


Under Illinois Municipal Budget Law, a municipality’s tentative annual budget and appropriation ordinance must be
made conveniently available for public inspection at least 10 days prior to final action on the ordinance. The City
has historically provided approximately 30 days between presentation of the draft budget and adoption to allow
ample time for public inspection and input.
Publication of a hearing notice is also required at least one week before the hearing date. The City anticipates
publishing the hearing notice on November 6, 2026, setting a public hearing for December 7, 2026.
The draft budget will be posted on the City’s website for public inspection, as well as a hard copy at City Hall. Due
to the nature of public inspection and input, as well as council inspection and input, municipal budget law allows the
City to modify, amend, or revise the draft budget prior to the passage of the budget on December 7, 2026.
Items of note in 2027 draft budget:
Revenues and Financing
•
Increased home rule sales tax, effective January 1, 2027, split 50% between the General Fund and Water
and Sewer Fund (depending on need annually).
•
Increased package liquor tax, effective January 1, 2027.
•
Adoption of 5% water and sewer rate increase, as recommended at the October 19 City Council meeting.
•
Issuance of approximately $3.4 million in bonds for the industrial road program in the Capital Fund.
•
Anticipated draw of approximately $8.7 million in IEPA loan proceeds for the lead service line replacement
program in the Water Fund.
Expenditures/Expenses
•
Recommended transfer of $2 million from Downtown Revitalization to the Capital Fund for the Downtown
Modernization and Beautification Project.
•
Addition of four part-time and two full-time positions to address service delivery priorities.
•
Increased flexibility for business support including $75,000 in new incentives, $25,000 in advertising to
offset construction effects, and $50,000 towards business incubator initiatives.
•
Refresh of the Community Park master plan for $50,000 and $200,000 for preliminary design work for the
restoration of the underpass.
•
Continuation of the City’s multi-year industrial road improvement program.
The draft budget reflects an effort to balance ongoing service delivery and infrastructure obligations with
investments that support future economic development and community priorities. The 4.9% proposed property tax
levy increase and continued commitment to the 35% General Fund reserve policy provide a fiscally responsible
foundation for the 2027 Budget. These proposed allocations remain subject to further review and modification
through the budget process.

WHERE HISTORY & PROGRESS MEET
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 c ·ity'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.

===== PDF PAGE 73 =====

•
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.
•
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, except as provided below. For Fiscal Years 2027,
2028, and 2029, revenue attributable to the one-quarter percentage point (0.25%) increase
in the City's Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and Home Rule Municipal
Service Occupation Tax effective January 1, 2027, shall be allocated 50% to the General
Fund and 50% to the Water Fund and/or Sewer Fund. The allocation between the Water
Fund and Sewer Fund shall be determined annually through the budget process based
upon financial and infrastructure needs. As part of the Fiscal Year 2030 budget process,
the City Council shall review and determine the future allocation of revenue attributable
to the 0.25% increase.

CITY COUNCIL
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
FY2026 marked a significant leadership transition for the City. Following a comprehensive
recruitment process that included community input, candidate interviews, and a public forum,
the Mayor and City Council selected Viviana Ramirez as the City's new City Administrator. The
Council approved her employment agreement in March, and she joined the organization in
April. The Mayor and Council worked with staff throughout the year to support her onboarding,
establish priorities, and strengthen communication between elected officials and the
organization.
Downtown revitalization remained a major focus. Following public meetings and review of
alternative concepts, the City Council selected a preferred design for the Downtown
Modernization and Beautification Project and authorized advancement of final engineering.
The selected plan incorporated community input while balancing project scope, cost,
construction impacts, and available funding. The Council also continued to advance
redevelopment initiatives through the Downtown Revitalization Fund, West Washington
planning, and other economic development efforts.
The Mayor and City Council expanded opportunities for direct community engagement through
additional Coffee with the Mayor and Meet Your Aldermen events, along with town halls, open
houses, and other opportunities for residents and businesses to interact directly with elected
officials. These efforts complemented previous expanded translation, communication, and
outreach initiatives intended to make City government more accessible and responsive.
The Council also addressed several organizational and governance priorities during 2026,
including restoring the elected City Clerk position, advancing updated economic development
work plans, considering new revenue options to support long-term financial stability, and
providing direction on major infrastructure, capital, and community investment priorities.
Council discussions throughout the year helped shape the FY2027 budget, including
additional support for elected officials, downtown investment, Community Park improvements,
and enhanced organizational capacity.
Together, these actions supported a year of leadership transition, increased public
engagement, and continued investment in the City's downtown, infrastructure, organizational
capacity, and long-term financial sustainability.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY2026, the City Administrator's Office focused on strengthening organizational capacity,
employee communication, technology, cybersecurity, GIS services, and interdepartmental
coordination while supporting the City's leadership transition.
Human Resources expanded employee communication and engagement through the launch
of a new HR newsletter, staff development activities, and employee feedback efforts. One
employee survey was completed in conjunction with customer service training, while work
continued on developing improved loss-control measurement and risk management practices.
Employee engagement and workplace culture initiatives also expanded through staff training,
team-building activities, a new employee luncheon, and other internal events. The City also
developed a process for assessing interpretation proficiency and supporting a bilingual
employee stipend program.
Information Technology completed several infrastructure and cybersecurity improvements. A
storage server was replaced, and the City transitioned to Hyper-V virtualization to avoid
significant increases in VMware licensing costs. CrowdStrike Mobile was deployed to
strengthen mobile device protection. Cybersecurity and technology education was provided
through both an in-person training session and an online learning platform, while additional
cybersecurity readiness work continued throughout the year. Preliminary work also began on
the City's transition to a new .gov website domain, with implementation continuing into 2027 in
coordination with development of the new City website.
GIS completed migration of the City's tree inventory and cemetery applications from Web
App Builder to Experience Builder, including staff training and deployment of the updated
applications. GIS and IT also reviewed data-storage needs and implemented storage
improvements. Research continued on ADA compliance and translation tools for public-facing
applications, while additional review of GIS server and SQL database versions will continue
into 2027. GIS also supported the City's expanded special-event schedule through
development of event maps, layouts, and public-facing applications.
Staff supported the onboarding of the new City Administrator and the realignment of
departmental priorities. Interdepartmental coordination also increased through project-specific
and ad hoc staff meetings designed to maintain progress on major City priorities, including
downtown revitalization, accessibility, and responsive public service.
Several initiatives remain in progress and will carry into 2027, including continued
development of loss-control performance measures, additional employee feedback efforts,
cybersecurity readiness work, the .gov domain transition, and remaining GIS server and
database review.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY2026, the Finance Department focused on improving operational efficiency, financial
transparency, customer service, and long-term system integration.
Working closely with other departments, Finance evaluated enterprise resource planning
systems and selected the OpenGov platform to modernize and consolidate key City functions
to enhance the resident experience and strengthen internal operations. Implementation began
at the end of 2026 and will continue through 2027, with certain modules extending into 2028.
The new platform will provide residents and vendors with more centralized access to utility
billing, permitting, licensing, invoice submission, payment status, electronic payment options
and other services.
As the ERP project advanced, several previously planned stand-alone technology
improvements were incorporated into the broader OpenGov implementation strategy, including
the customer-facing utility billing portal, expanded vendor payment processing, and
opportunities to improve interdepartmental workflow management.
Finance also developed and updated standard operating procedures that streamline payroll,
utility billing, and general ledger functions to improve consistency and reduce processing time.
Paperless processes continued to expand, including implementation of electronic bank bill-pay
processing, which reduced manual check handling and data-entry requirements.
The Department also continued work on longer-term financial management initiatives,
including starting a 5-year financial forecast, this has not yet been completed but is expected
to be completed by Q3 2027. Our adoption of the Capital Asset Policy has been postponed
ensuring it is fully aligned with the new OpenGov processes and procedures.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In 2026, the West Chicago Police Department continued to strengthen staffing, leadership
development and operational readiness. The Department hired three new Police Officers
and completed several supervisory promotions and assignments, including the promotion of
a Commander to Deputy Chief, supporting succession planning and continuity across the
organization. Two new recruits are Spanish-speaking, further expanding the Department's
language capabilities and representation.
The Department also advanced objectives related to social services, recruitment, and
professional development. The Police Social Worker became a Licensed Clinical Social
Worker (LCSW), enhancing available professional services. She also established a
partnership with Aurora University to support future social work internships. The
Department participated in the City's inaugural First Responders Academy for local high
school students and continued discussions with Elgin Community College on college credit
for Police Cadets, although a formal agreement was not completed in 2026.
Public safety and enforcement efforts remained a priority. Two officers received national
and regional recognition for impaired-driving enforcement. Local adjudication was
expanded to include overweight truck violations, providing an additional tool for commercial
vehicle and roadway safety. Truck enforcement resulted in approximately $227,000 in fines
issued by one officer during the year.
The Department expanded public transparency by activating the Flock Safety Transparency
Portal, providing residents with information about the Automated License Plate Reader
program, applicable policies, and use of the technology. The City also continued reviewing
safeguards, auditing practices, and oversight of the system.
The Department provided public safety services for an expanded schedule of community
events, including the inaugural 12-week Mosaic Market, two new parades, and the Union
Pacific Big Boy event, which brought approximately 60,000 visitors to West Chicago over
several hours. Advance planning, interagency coordination, mutual aid, and resource
management allowed these events to be completed without a critical incident while keeping
departmental overtime within projected levels.
Community outreach also expanded with initiatives including a Senior Fair, a domestic
violence support group, and the Blue Envelope Program, a voluntary communication tool to
assist individuals with autism or other communication and sensory needs during police
interactions. The Department also continued supporting Special Olympics Illinois through
activities including its annual Cop on Top campaign and commemorative Big Boy T-shirt
sales during the June event.
West Chicago Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA) members provided
training to Police Department personnel on their disaster response capabilities, resources,
and responsibilities, and several ESDA members participated in the department's annual
rapid deployment training. ESDA continued efforts to expand its volunteer membership,
althouQh volunteer recruitment remains challenQinQ.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDAJ
Description of Major Activities
In accordance with the Illinois Emergency Management Act of January 1992, the West Chicago
Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (ESDA) exists to prevent, minimize, repair, and
alleviate injury or damage resulting from disasters caused by enemy attack, sabotage, or other
hostile action, or from natural or man-made disasters. Its primary function continues to be
support and 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 during weather-related events.
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 issue warnings about potentially
dangerous weather conditions to 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 tornadoes, 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 1 second and verifies that all key components in the
siren system are operational.
FYE 2027 Program Objectives
(1) Ensure all ESDA members complete CPR certification and fire extinguisher training
by July 2027 to strengthen emergency preparedness and life-safety response
capabilities.
(2) Complete installation and implementation of a citywide VHF radio repeater system
by December 2027 to improve coverage, communication reliability, and coordination
among ESDA personnel and partner emergency response agencies.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY 2026, Staff successfully collaborated with consulting engineers to complete the 2026 Annual
Roadway Rehabilitation Project, Industrial Streets Improvement Project - Phase A (Western Dr &
Downs Dr), Industrial Streets Improvement Project - Phase A (Fenton Lane), and York Avenue Area
Watermain and Streets Rehabilitation Project. In addition, annual maintenance programs in FY 2026
included sidewalk cutting, pavement rejuvenation, pavement marking, and the concrete maintenance
program to improve various pavement, retaining walls, sidewalks as well as curb and gutters
throughout the City. The City also initiated design engineering for several key projects such as the
Industrial Street Improvements Project- Phase B (Industrial Dr), Downtown Modernization and
Beautification Project, and Atlantic Drive Resurfacing Project. Staff coordinated with partner agencies
on projects such as the West Branch DuPage River Trail and IL-64 Traffic Modernization Project.
Staff, along with the contractual engineering team, reviewed 56 utility permits as of October 2026.
In FY 2026, staff, in coordination with consulting engineers, pursued or managed several grants such
as:
•
Surface Transportation Program (STP) Grant for Smith Road Resurfacing Project
•
Surface Transportation Program (STP) for Purnell Road Sidewalk Extension Project
•
Economic Development Program (EDP) Grant for Industrial Drive Reconstruction Project
•
Rebuild Downtown & Main Street (ROMS) Program Grant for Downtown Modernization and
Beautification Project
•
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for York Avenue Area Water Main and
Streets Rehabilitation Project
Public Works participated in engagement efforts such as project specific open houses and the
Leman Middle School sixth grade community field trip to learn about Public Works. Tree City USA
status was maintained in 2026.
Other highlights included various facility and grounds projects such as the West Chicago Community
Park - Phase 0, Washington Street Building Demolition, Museum Interior Renovations and
Improvements, Museum Masonry Restoration Project, Water Treatment Plant Rooftop Unit (RTU)
Replacement, and Police Station RTU & Boiler Replacement. The City Hall Rooftop Unit Replacement
Project was awarded in FY 2026; however, the project is scheduled to be completed in FY 2027 due to
material lead time and weather. Furthermore, Corrective Action at Leaking Underground Storage Tank
Site at 135 W. Grand Lake Blvd was awarded in FY 2026; however, due to a prolonged approval
process from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the project is tentatively scheduled for
construction in FY 2027. Streets and Forestry Division staff oversaw contractual programs for Brush
Pick-up, Forestry Maintenance, Tree Planting (Spring and Fall), and ROW Maintenance.
Removals of dead, dying, or diseased trees were mostly completed by City staff, with contractual
assistance when warranted. Staff also assisted with multiple City sponsored special events.

Description of Major Activities
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FORESTRY
The three services included in this program are: brush collection, emergency tree
removals/trimming from storm damage, and hornet nest removals. Each of these programs is
handled by an independent contractor and administered by various staff in the Streets Division.
The system of removing brush with a mechanized loader and chipping the brush at the
contractor's site has resulted in faster brush removal. Completion time is typically less than one
week, with no chipping debris left on the streets. The contractual Brush Collection Program is
administered over a seven-month period (May through November), with brush collection
commencing the first full week of each month.
FYE 2027 Program Objectives
(1) Procure contractual services and complete the Spring Tree Planting Program by June 2027.
(2) Procure contractual services and complete the Fall Tree Planting Program by October 2027.
(3) Procure contractual services and complete the 2027 Monthly Brush Collection Program by
December 2027.
(4) Procure contractual services and complete the Tree Trimming Program by December 2027.

Description of Major Activities
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MAINTENANCE GARAGE
The Municipal Garage administers a preventative maintenance program which minimizes the
occurrence of costly emergency vehicle, truck and equipment breakdowns, and prevents
prolonged fleet downtime, thereby maintaining the timely delivery of municipal services to City
residents. User departments are considered consumers of fleet maintenance services and are
charged a user fee based on their historical usage to fund capital equipment purchases,
depreciation expenses and general overhead (see Capital Equipment Replacement Fund).
FYE 2027 Program Objectives
(1) Identify and properly dispose of all surplus vehicles by October 2027.
(2) Complete all safety lane inspections by November 2027.
(3) Review the Capital Equipment Replacement Schedule for FY 2027, write specifications and
order vehicles/equipment by November 2027.
(4) During off seasons (i.e., winter for mowing and forestry equipment, summer for snow plowing
equipment), inspect and repair all equipment, including small engine equipment, prior to start
of 2027 seasonal needs (i.e., prior to May 2027 for mowing and forestry equipment, and prior
to November 2027 for snow plowing equipment).

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY2026, the Community Development Department experienced several staffing transitions
that required redistribution of responsibilities. Following the retirement of an engineer, that
position was reallocated to Public Works. The City Planner position also remained vacant for
most of the year after the prior Planner was appointed as the interim Director and later as
Community Development Director.
Engineering
inspections and permit plan
review
responsibilities were shifted to the Department's stormwater engineer, while planning and
zoning functions were absorbed by the Director pending onboarding of the new City Planner.
Staff liaison duties for the Historical Preservation Commission were reassigned to the Chief
Building Official.
The Department continued work on planning and zoning initiatives intended to support
downtown redevelopment and changing development trends. With the approval of the City's
second data center and increased inquiries around data centers and Battery Energy Storage
Systems, staff prepared a temporary moratorium to allow additional research and develop
appropriate recommended regulations and procedures. Staff also prepared a zoning text
amendment to permit outdoor athletic fields as a special use in the downtown district to
accommodate consideration of a futsal facility on a small portion of the city-owned West
Washington Street property.
Staff continued to support downtown revitalization efforts and the work of the Downtown
Revitalization Commission. A draft of the Architectural and Historical Survey performed by
MKSK Architects has been completed and staff is working with the firm to finalize it, which is
anticipated to be completed before the end of 2026. A review of land use designations within
the Comprehensive Plan occurred internally and will continue into 2027 with potential changes
brought to the City Council for adoption.
The Department also reviewed administrative and regulatory practices to improve efficiency
and customer service. In 2026, the City discontinued the use of administrative adjudication for
unpaid refuse bills, eliminating the need for residents to appear before the hearing officer for
these matters and reducing staff time devoted to the process. Staff continued their soft code-
enforcement approach, seeking to attain compliance before issuing Notices of Violation. A
review of fees will begin near the end of 2026 with an anticipated completion in 2027. As
departments evaluated opportunities for more centralized software and data integration, staff
deferred further expansion of CloudPermit in favor of assessing how permitting functions could
be more fully integrated with the City's new OpenGov ERP platform. The Department saw a
significant increase in permit revenue largely attributed to a few major building projects
including two large industrial spec warehouse buildings totaling 677,433 square feet, and an
80,000 square foot data center. Other major projects included major renovations for existing
businesses including Mapei and Ball Horticulture as well as the redevelopment of the former
Shell Gas Station property on Neltnor Boulevard.

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. As part of this program, staff makes
recommendations for revisions to the comprehensive plan, zoning and subdivision regulations,
and other City Codes to improve development and stay competitive by improving and
clarifying the process. Staff guides developers through the review process by conducting
development review meetings as appropriate, explaining code requirements, reviewing plan
submittals and proactively contacting developers to discuss issues that may arise. This
Division, through the City Planner, serves as the staff liaison for the Plan Commission/Zoning
Board of Appeals. The Department as a whole, through the Director, serves as the staff liaison
for the Development Committee.
FYE 2027 Program Objectives
(1)
Complete the Zoning Text Amendment for Data Centers/Battery Energy Storage Systems

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Building & Code Enforcement
Description of Major Activities
Building and Code Enforcement reviews all building permit applications, conducts inspections
including building, change of occupancy, overcrowding and rental, investigates code violation
complaints and pursues property maintenance complaints. The code enforcement function
includes issuing correction notices, inspecting for compliance, issuing door hangars as a
warning, issuing Notice to Appear citations into the City's Administrative Adjudication process
for more severe cases and tracking the status of all violations, citations, liens and fines. Staff
tracks temporary occupancy permits, letters of intent, letters of credit and stormwater deposits
to ensure that construction is completed.
Staff also proposes local amendments to the
adopted national codes to improve the safety, image and appearance of the community. This
Division, through the Building Official, serves as the staff liaison to the Historical Preservation
Commission.
FYE 2027 Program Objectives
(1) Finalize a new procedure for notifying residents of unpaid refuse bills and collecting them
without the previous practice of assessing fines at administrative adjudication by May 2027.
(2) Refine notice, inspection, and hearing procedures providing consistent treatment, clear
expectations, and a reasonable opportunity to achieve compliance by August 2027.
(3) Compare the City's building permit and impact fees with surrounding communities to confirm
fees remain competitive, reflect the cost of service, and support cost recovery September
2027.
(4) Offer informational sessions throughout 2027 to improve resident understanding of permit
requirements and inspections and reduce incomplete applications and review delays.
(5) Convert paper records to digital format to free up workspace, improve access to property
records for staff and the public, and support long-term records retention throughout 2027.

BUSINESS & COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In 2026, the Business & Community Relations Department strengthened business support,
advanced redevelopment, and expanded public engagement and cultural programming. Filling
the Business Support Specialist position in March increased capacity for business assistance,
grant administration, outreach, and development of the downtown property inventory.
Major economic development activities included advancing a proposed townhouse
development on City-owned downtown property, facilitating construction of 675,000 square
feet of new industrial space within the Roosevelt Road/Fabyan Parkway TIF District, and
procuring services for the West Washington Street Site Concept Plan and Targeted Housing
Strategy and Market Positioning Analysis.
Staff also promoted local incentive programs and assisted prospective restaurant, food hall,
and other redevelopment projects. The initial downtown property inventory was compiled,
tracking vacancies and market investment opportunities. Review of business registration and
licensing regulations continued. The Downtown Investment Program awarded two grants in
2026 and reimbursed two grants totaling $17,452.72. Two additional awarded grants totaling
$82,466.50 remained pending, with reimbursement expected before 2026 year-end.
The Department advanced initiatives in the 2026-2028 Economic Development Work Plan and
supported the Council's adoption of the realigned 2026-2028 and new 2027-2029 Economic
Development Work Plans, updating project schedules and priorities. Staff also coordinated the
City's first Manufacturing Summit to connect manufacturers with workforce and business
development resources.
Public engagement included the State of the City/Town Hall, downtown business and
property-owner meetings, open houses, and outreach for the Downtown Modernization &
Beautification Project. City surveys gathered feedback on the website, Mosaic Market,
community events, and data center and battery energy storage regulations. The Community
Engagement Roundtable strengthened coordination among local organizations.
Events and cultural programming expanded with the launch of Mosaic Market and two
community parades celebrating America 250 and Mexican Independence Day. Arts initiatives
included the annual Art Banner Exhibit, en plein air exhibits, fountain basin painting, a City-
sponsored WeGo Full Steam Ahead train sculpture, and Chalk the Walk during Blooming
Fest's 25th anniversary. The Department oversaw the temporary relocation of City Museum
operations and coordinated Museum improvements, including cleanup of existing facilities.
Communications expanded through bilingual outreach, business newsletters, and renewed
mailed materials, including a special events mailer, City information in the Library's summer
Program Guide, and opt-in mailed City Bulletins. The City also executed a contract for the new
City website and began implementation, with completion anticipated in September 2027.

(4) Evaluate site options, select locations, and plan City-hosted community events at new
locations for 2027 during downtown construction, partnering with property owners as
applicable.

CAPITAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
An updated ten-year Vehicle and Equipment Purchase Plan was developed during the year.
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 procured 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.

Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
The West Chicago/Winfield Wastewater Authority Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP) treated a total of 1.660 billion gallons of wastewater (an average of 4.549 MGD) in
2025 with nearly 1.895 billion gallons of wastewater (an average of 5.191 MGD) estimated for
2026. Three permit excursions of the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit were reported in 2025 with one permit excursion estimated for 2026. As a
result of the Pre-Treatment Program, the City issued four industrial user violation notices in
2025 with four violation notices estimated for 2026.
The A2O Aeration Basin Project at WWTP was completed in summer 2026. A comprehensive
condition assessment of the WWTP was also completed in 2026, which will be used to prepare
a revised Capital Improvement Plan at the WWTP.
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 2026.
Division staff continue with the Citywide Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program by continuing
with 2026 Sanitary Sewer Repairs in the southern portion of the City. Since 2023, the focus is
directed to repairing previously identified defects within the sanitary collection system until all
outstanding items have been addressed from the past Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Surveys
(SSES). The 2026 SSES Repair Program is anticipated to be completed in November 2026
which includes a trenchless method of installing cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) inside existing 730'
of 8" vitrified clay pipe sewer on Forest Avenue and Hazel Street. The Project will also include
lining of two sanitary sewage lift station wet wells at Lift Station #2 and Lift Station # 7. A water
sewer rate study is also underway and is expected to be completed by early 2027.
All sanitary lift station pumps were inspected for maintenance in 2026. 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.

WATER FUND
Performance Reoort on FYE 2026 Maior Proaram Obiectives
The Utilities and Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Divisions operated and maintained pumping
and treatment facilities, which produced 895 million gallons of water in 2025 with 925 million
gallons of use, estimated for 2026. Through ongoing operational analysis and the annual
system wide leak detection survey, water efficiency continues to improve even with new
growth and development. The 2026 system wide leak detection survey identified 8 leaks, all
promptly repaired by Utilities Division staff. WTP staff successfully completed all IEPA and
USEPA required sampling and monitoring in 2026 including new testing requirements for lead.
We are pleased to report no violations of State or federal drinking water standards in 2026.
The City also completed the design of Lead Service Line Replacement Program Year 1. The
Year 1 Program is funded by the IEPA loans and construction kicked off in September 2026
(~232 Lead Service Lines) are scheduled to be replaced under this program. The York Avenue
Area Watermain Project also kicked off in September 2026 which is expected to replace ~92
Lead Service Lines. This project will be completed in 2027. Lead Service Line Replacement
Program Year 2 is expected to advertise for bids by December 2026. The Booster Station #8
project was substantially completed in August 2026. Engineering design for the 1.5 MG
Elevated Water Tower Project is nearly complete. The project unsuccessfully applied for IEPA
loan funds in 2026.
The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Division finalized several construction projects in 2026,
including construction of the Filter Rehabilitation Project and replacement of the Roof Top
Units (RTU). The removal of lime residuals from the softening process is anticipated to be
completed by December 2026. Staff continued to make operational changes in the WTP
during 2026, reducing operational costs which offset increased electrical and material costs in
other areas.
The Department continues to review operational strategies to increase efficiency while
reducing overall costs and meeting customer service needs. A water sewer rate study is also
underway which is expected to be complete by early 2027.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY 2026, the City initiated or completed approximately $29.33 million in capital improvements
across multiple funds. Major roadway and utility projects included the Industrial Streets Improvement
Project - Phase A (Western Dr & Downs Dr), Industrial Streets Improvement Project - Phase A
(Fenton Lane), and York Avenue Area Watermain and Streets Rehabilitation Project.
The City also advanced a number of facility and property improvement projects such as the West
Chicago Community Park - Phase 0, Washington Street Building Demolition Project, Museum
Interior Renovations and Improvement Project, Museum Masonry Restoration Project, Water
Treatment Plant Rooftop Unit (RTU) Replacement Project, and Police Station RTU & Boiler
Replacement Project.
The City Hall Rooftop Unit Replacement Project was awarded in FY 2026 but is scheduled to be
completed in FY 2027 due to material lead time and weather. Corrective Action at the Leaking
Underground Storage Tank Site at 135 W. Grand Lake Blvd was also awarded in FY 2026; however,
due to a prolonged approval process from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the project is
tentatively scheduled for construction in FY 2027.
Design engineering was initiated for several future projects such as the Industrial Street
Improvements Project- Phase B (Industrial Dr), Downtown Modernization and Beautification Project,
and Atlantic Drive Resurfacing Project. Staff also coordinated with partner agencies on projects such
as the West Branch DuPage River Trail and thelL-64 Traffic Modernization Project. As of October
2026, staff and the contractual engineering team also reviewed 56 utility permits.
In FY 2026, staff, in coordination with consulting engineers, pursued or managed several grants such
as:
•
Surface Transportation Program (STP) Grant for Smith Road Resurfacing Project
•
Surface Transportation Program (STP) for Purnell Road Sidewalk Extension Project
•
Economic Development Program (EDP) Grant for Industrial Drive Reconstruction Project
•
Rebuild Downtown & Main Street (ROMS) Program Grant for Downtown Modernization and
Beautification Project
•
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for York Avenue Area Water Main
and Streets Rehabilitation Project
Annual maintenance programs also remained a significant part of the capital program, including
sidewalk cutting, pavement rejuvenation, pavement marking, concrete maintenance, tree trimming
and removal, and rights-of-way maintenance. The contractual Spring Tree Planting Program added

COMMUNITY PARK FUND
Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY2026, the City advanced construction of Phase O of the Community Park on the
approximately 4.5-acre northern portion of the former Kerr-McGee property. The project was
awarded to E. Hoffman, Inc. for approximately $1.13 million and includes walking paths, picnic
shelters, seating, native landscaping, interpretive signage, and other passive recreation
improvements. Construction of this phase occurred during the 2026 season, with native
seeding and restoration continuing into the fall.
The City also continued conceptual planning for future phases of the park. This included
reviewing potential updates to the adopted Master Park Plan, evaluating future recreational
amenities such as soccer and futsal facilities, considering additional parking and use of the
existing building, and coordinating with the West Chicago Park District and local school
districts on development priorities.
Staff also continued evaluating future connectivity improvements, including restoring the
pedestrian underpass beneath the Canadian National Railway to connect the Community Park
with Pioneer Park and surrounding neighborhoods. Preliminary planning for this connection
informed future capital budgeting for design and construction.
The City continued to pursue and manage funding for future phases of the park. Phase O was
supported in part by approximately $2 million in federal funding, and staff continued evaluating
available grant and partnership opportunities to support future park development.

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 initiated construction of the first phase of a
community park in 2026. The Park will be constructed in multiple phases and serve as a
community recreational gathering space 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. The City will be
engaging in a Master Park Plan refresh in 2027.
FYE 2027 PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
(1) Complete a Master Park Plan refresh, including community engagement sessions, to
confirm priorities and guide future phases of Community Park development by October
2027.
(2) Complete design and preliminary engineering for the pedestrian underpass connection
between Community Park and Pioneer Park, including evaluation of access, site
conditions, and related improvements needed to advance construction by December
2027
(3) Continue pursuing grant, partnership, and other external funding opportunities to support
future phases of Community Park development and reduce reliance on local funding
throughout 2027.

Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY2026, the City improved several City-owned downtown properties by filling holes, grading
and seeding vacant areas, and preparing sites for future development. Some sites were also
leveraged as temporary event space.
The City also used downtown spaces to support major community events, most notably Union
Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014 visit as part of the America 250 celebration. The primary display
day drew approximately 61,000 visitors, according to Union Pacific, with an estimated 70,000
visitors participating over the broader Big Boy event period. The event included coordinated
parking, shuttle service, downtown activities, business promotions, family programming, and
other supporting activities throughout the community.

OLIVER SQUARE TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICT FUND
Description of Major Activities
TIF District funds are utilized to make improvements within the district that will revitalize the
area and ultimately result in increased property values and a self-sustaining district. Specific
activities conducted to accomplish revitalization include providing grants to improve the
infrastructure of the district. Expenditures for promoting the district are also included in the TIF
program, which includes marketing.
FYE 2027 Program Objectives
(1) Support continued redevelopment and tenant reuse of eligible properties within the Oliver
Square TIF District throughout 2027.
(2) Evaluate whether continued redevelopment needs within the district warrant pursuing a
legislative extension of the TIF beyond December 31, 2027, and provide a
recommendation to the City Council by June 2027.
(3) If an extension is not pursued or approved, coordinate with Finance and legal counsel to
complete the orderly closeout of the Oliver Square TIF District by December 31, 2027,
including review of remaining obligations, eligible expenditures, reporting requirements,
and disposition of any remaining fund balance.

Description of Major Activities
MOTOR FUEL TAX FUND
OPERATIONS
Various street improvement projects are funded by the Motor Fuel Tax funds. The City often
applies for other sources of grant funds through federal and state agencies to supplement
roadway improvements. These grant sources often require a local match, which is funded
through the Motor Fuel Tax funds. Other general roadway-related maintenance items such as
electricity and refuse disposal are also included in this program.
FYE 2027 Program Objectives
(1) Use MFT and Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) grant funds to
complete IL-38 & Technology Blvd Traffic Signal Installation Project by August 2027.
(2) Utilize Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds to complete construction of the 2027 Roadway
Rehabilitation Project by September 2027.
(3) Utilize MFT and Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant funds to close out previously
completed construction projects with Illinois Department of Transportation by December
2027.

Performance Report on FYE 2026 Major Program Objectives
In FY2026, the City facilitated construction of two industrial buildings totaling approximately
675,000 square feet within the Roosevelt Road/Fabyan Parkway TIF District.
Staff coordinated an intergovernmental agreement with DuPage County and an amendment to
the development agreement to resolve roadway access delays and enable construction to
begin. These agreements addressed Poorman Parkway and related access improvements
serving the development. Construction is anticipated to be completed in spring 2028.
The City continued monitoring project progress and coordinating infrastructure improvements
and TIF assistance to support eligible project costs.
The start of construction on Poorman Parkway also prompted development interest elsewhere
in the district, with staff engaging two additional developers to explore potential projects.
