PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 2014 PROPOSED CITY OF ELGIN BUDGET
Mayor Kaptain declared the public hearing open at 7:46 p.m.
Colleen Lavery, Chief Financial Officer stated that the council is being asked to consider the
2014 Budget in the amount of $280,779,240. She noted that the budget establishes an
appropriation for seven fund types and thirty three individual funds. She pointed out the
changes from the previously proposed budget to the document under consideration. The Parks
and Recreation fund expenditure budget was increased by $203,350 representing the cost to
operate the Wing Park Pool. The Parks and Recreation revenue budget was increased by
$200,000 representing expected revenues to be generated at the Wing Park Pool. In addition, the
budget for leaf bag purchases ($18,330) was transferred from the Public Works budget to the
non-departmental contingency account and therefore had no impact on General Fund
expenditures. Finally Ms. Lavery stated that the overall property tax levy which includes
appropriations for debt service, pensions and the general fund is $42,506,000.
Mayor Kaptain declared the public hearing closed at 7:55 p.m.
ORDINANCE T22-13 PASSED ADOPTING THE 2014 BUDGET IN LIEU OF PASSAGE
OF AN APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE
Councilmember Gavin stated that he would not be supporting the budget. He felt that there
needed to be more cuts in spending, more compromise, and further relief to the taxpayers.
Councilmember Shaw noted that while he believed in the majority of the budget he could not
support it because it did not provide enough relief to the residents. He further stated that there
are areas of the budget that are mandated by the State of Illinois and that the council does not
have as much control. He noted that he would continue to work to help reduce the burden on
the residents.
Councilmember Prigge stated there were good things in the budget, noting core services, but that
he was not going to support it. He wanted further financial relief for the residents and there
were other areas where cuts could have been made.
VOLUME LXXVIII DECEMBER 18, 2013
525
Councilmember Moeller noted she was supportive of the budget. She stated while it was not
perfect it was a balanced budget that reduced property taxes, removed business licenses and
temporary sign fees, enhanced public services, and supported many not for profit organizations.
Councilmember Rauschenberger stated that that the process to develop a budget is complex. She
noted that it was a flexible document with ongoing review throughout the year. Also noted was
the importance of maintaining the AAA bond rating and she hoped to find ways to give back to
the residents.
Councilmember Powell noted the tough choices in the budget process that had to be made to
address unfunded mandates and continue to allow for a reduction in the levy. She further stated
the importance of the budget and it being a flexible document with final approval of spending to
come before the council on a regular basis.
Councilmember Steffen echoed the thoughts of several councilmembers. He would be open to
ideas and cuts if there was balance to the other side of the equation. He gave an example of the
State of Illinois and their current financial situation and did not want to see the city take that
path.
Councilmember Dunne commented that there is a need to have working cash to ensure operating
expenses are covered and that the budget is a guide, not a commitment to spend. He thanked
citizens for their input and hoped to work in the next year to help achieve further relief for them.
Mayor Kaptain thanked the council for their discussions during the budget process. He felt the
budget was vision of the future that would need to deal with unknowns such as how the
Affordable Care Act, union contracts and various unfunded liabilities would impact the city.
The entire council thanked staff for their hard work on the budget and their responsiveness to
requests for information regarding the various budget items.
Councilmember Steffen made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Dunne, to pass the
following ordinance. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Dunne, Moeller, Powell,
Rauschenberger, Steffen, and Mayor Kaptain. Nays: Councilmembers Gavin, Prigge and Shaw.
