Revenues in the General Fund support the core operations of the Village. For FY2027, preliminary revenues of $6,420,865 are anticipated. The growth is broad-based versus dependent on a single source of revenue. Sales tax and non-home-rule sales tax are projected to remain significant revenue sources outside of property tax, with future estimates informed by historical trends and updated performance data. Additionally, building permits remain positive for the upcoming year. Individual revenue GL line items are reviewed based on a historical trend analysis in order to project revenues for the upcoming year. In order to be prepared for unexpected events and lower than anticipated revenues or higher than anticipated expenditures, the Village budgets revenues realistically but also conservatively. Expenditures: Preliminary 2027 operating expenditures, not including one-time transfers to CIP and Water, equals $5.5m (less than >1%) over the 2026 Budget. Personnel costs of $3.2m account for a significant portion of the expenditures. Overview: Kenilworth's 2027 Proposed Draft Capital Fund Budget is balanced with a surplus of $606,074. Capital Fund Revenues: The Capital Fund is the main fund where financial activity related to general capital projects occurs on an annual basis. The revenues for the 2027 Capital Fund Budget includes a awarded grant of $271,000 for road improvements as well as a transfer of funds of $250,000 in order to build up the fund balance for large scale projects in the future. The Village strives to maintain annual expenditures below annual revenues, except when one‑time capital projects occur. Capital Fund Expenditures: Preliminary 2027 capital expenditures equal $380,725 from the capital fund, this is a 35% reduction over the 2026 budget. An in depth look at CIP will be discussed later in this memo. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND 2025 Actual 2026 Budget 2026 DRAFT Year-End Estimate 2027 Proposed DRAFT Budget Budget FY26B v.

Through controlled spending and increased revenues, the FY2026 year-end estimated projections reflect an increased surplus over the budgeted figures of approximately $1.3 million including planned transfers. Furthermore, the surplus reflects two factors: 1) the revenues are projected higher than originally budgeted, and 2) expenditures are lower than anticipated due to personnel. 2026 Revenue Projections: Positive variance in revenues of approximately $501,098 is generally due to sales tax and non-home rule sales tax, building permit revenues, interest income and ambulance fees. Sales tax is projected conservatively based on historical trends. It must be noted, due to delayed property tax collection the full amount of property may not be realized as budgeted, therefore it is beyond the Villages control. 2026 Expenditure Projection: Expenditures are projected lower by approximately $630,973, primarily due to unfilled positions for part of the year in the Police Department. Important to note, the figures are not yet finalized and are subject to change. Revenue Category 2026 Budget 2026 DRAFT Year- End Estimate FY26B v.

Maintaining high-quality infrastructure is essential to the communities vitality and quality of life. Kenilworth continues to prioritize strategic, long-term investment through its comprehensive CIP so residents can clearly see how the Village plans for future needs. As a component of the budget process, Village staff separate the capital and operating components of the budget. Presenting the budget in this format provided elected officials and residents with a clearer and more transparent understanding of the capital items, which are typically the largest in terms of cost and impact on the community. The five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) lays out the projects identified as capital items for the next several years, with a focus on FY27. Please note that the future years (FY28 -FY31) may change based on available revenues and other funding sources. FY2027 CIP BUDGET OVERVIEW: The FY2027 CIP budget reflect s the Village’s continued commitment to investing in the repair, replacement, and enhancement of Kenilworth’s infrastructure and community assets. This plan is often maintained a pay -as-you-go funding approach, avoiding the need for borrowing while supporting significant long-term improvements. The FY2027 draft CIP includes a $ 924,875 budget, including $434,125 for street improvements; $209,000 for building and grounds, $110,000 lead service replacement and water maintenance ; $51,600 for information technology improvements; $26,000 for sewer; and $94,150 for vehicles and equipment. It’s important to note, CIP project are funded through various Funds of which Fund 27 is the main source of funding, followed by TIF Fund 14 and Water Fund 35.

Presenting the budget for consideration in this manner provides elected officials and residents with a more transparent process and better understanding of the capital items in the budget, which are often the largest in terms of dollars and impact on residents. Presenting a five-year comprehensive Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allows the community to see how the Village of Kenilworth plans. This Village Board packet includes two components of the CIP: the five-year capital projects projections spreadsheet and the booklet of individual project profile sheets that elaborate on each CIP item. CIP Document The extensive document titled "Five-Year Capital Improvement Program and 2027 Proposed Capital Projects” lays out the projects identified as capital items for the next several years, with a focus on FY27. Please note that the future years (FY2028-FY2031) may change based on available revenues and other funding sources. CIP Project Booklet The packet also includes individual project profile sheets that detail projects in terms of cost, justification/need, and impact on the Village. Department staff completed these documents and submitted them to the CIP team for review. 9 There are three categories to choose from: Capital Project: Most items on the list are considered projects, which is a broad category but usually means having a specific beginning and end date and a specific cost. Capital Maintenance: The definition of this category has shifted slightly throughout this budget process and now designates items that incur costs annually, such as sewer maintenance programs or tree-care services. IT/Capital Purchase: This category includes purchased or installed items, especially vehicles or IT components like software. Other fields on the project profile sheet include: Department: Indicates to which department a project is most relevant. Total Project Cost: Total, annual or ongoing cost of the project applicable for a fiscal year(s). Project Title: A brief name for the project. Project Justification/Benefit: Explains why the project is necessary, and the impact of the project on Village operations or to stakeholders. Operating Fund Impact: Explains, if applicable, the effect the project will have on other Village costs. Funding Source: Identifies the primary fund location for each project, though these can be subject to change and can be complicated by the presence of grants or uncertain sources of external funding. Please reach out if you have any questions relating to this document as you begin reviewing the proposed CIP. 10 Item/Service Freq.

General Fund: 01-600-5768 On an annual basis, the Village provides a selection of tree species to be planted in viable planting locations throughout Village parkways. Residents have the opportunity to choose what species is planted in their parkway. The Village has been awarded Tree City status for the past four years thanks to our commitment to maintaining and diversifying our tree canopy. One of the requirements to maintain Tree City status is to budget a minimum of $2 per capita towards tree maintenance and care. Over the past five years, the Village has budgeted between $12,000-$17,000 annually to fund the program. The annual Parkway Planting Program supports the community's mission to maintain/improve Kenilworth's tree canopy. Having a healthy, diversified tree inventory beautifies the community, improves the environment, and provides benefits for generations to follow.

General Fund: 01-600-5766 The Public Works Department trims a section of the Village's parkway trees on a five-year cycle, annually. Parkway trees are trimmed on a five-year cycle, annually in the winter months. Trimming/pruning trees in the winter is best for the health of the tree. The five-year cycle in place allows for the work, and cost, to be spaced out equally year-over- year, rather than one Village-wide tree trimming every five years. Trees are trimmed and pruned to maintain their longterm health. Trimming and pruning in the winter is ideal for the trees, as invasive bugs and diseases are dormant and less likely to infect the tree as it heals from the trimming.

TIF Fund: 14-100-8102 Continued implementation of the grant program for eligible exterior improvements in the TIF district. Awards are up to $15,000. The total project cost enables the Village to award a minimum of three (3) projects annually. The Village has an ongoing goal to enhance the Business District's aesthetic and encourage reinvestment / development. However, improvement costs may create financial barriers for some businesses and / or property owners. Adopted by the Village Board in August 2024, the Facade Improvement Grant program offsets some of those costs while also enhancing the Business District's curb appeal. The Facade Improvement Grant utilizes TIF funds to pay for eligible exterior improvements in the Business District up to $15,000. If the improvements lead to increased property values, the incremental growth in tax revenues would contribute back to the TIF fund, which then could be directed towards further revitalization and redevelopment of the Business District. Further, the program may attract new businesses and incentivize existing businesses to invest in their space. Since the program's approval, three local businesses have taken advantage of the opportunity to beautify their space.

The Public Works Department annually installs holiday decorations around the Village. Over the past several years, the Village has explored increasing the amount of decorations. In 2024, the Village purchased lighted wreaths and garland to install on the street lights along Green Bay Road. Expanding the Village's inventory of holiday decor is in response to resident input, and the desire to increase the level of beautification in town, as identified in the annual budget goals. In Q1 of FY27, the Public Works Committee will convene to discuss a long-term Holiday Light Comprehensive Plan.

The villages of Kenilworth and Winnetka are proposing a road diet for Green Bay Road between Kenilworth and Winnetka avenues. The work will include roadway reconfiguration, reconstruction and resurfacing, pedestrian mid-block crossing safety improvements, corridor lighting, and streetscape improvements. In addition, the project may encompass expanded sidewalks, diagonal parking, and bike lanes. The Green Bay Road Enhancement Project is a critical step in activating Kenilworth’s business district and improving safety. Kenilworth’s business corridor is uniquely narrow and only on the west side of the road. Parallel parking is available on both sides with a single crosswalk at the Kenilworth Avenue and Green Bay Road intersection. Two lanes of traffic run in each direction of travel in the project area. To access businesses in the corridor, pedestrians must cross four lanes of traffic without any safety control measures. The Village would like to reduce the number of lanes to slow traffic and add mid-block crossings to improve pedestrian safety and reduce barriers to accessing businesses. This work would be paired with streetscape improvements, which may include expanded sidewalks, street lighting, landscaped bump outs, and bike lanes. Beyond the safety improvements, this work will also allow the safe transportation of bicycle and foot traffic from adjacent residential areas to the Kenilworth Metra Station, and three Pace bus stops along Green Bay Road. This is in keeping with Cook County’s Long Range 2040 Transportation Plan that emphasizes alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit.

The program is anticipated to be in place for 15+ years. Staff anticipates the use of several funds depending on the location of the services line to help spread the costs of the program. Anticipated funds include; TIF Fund: 14, Capital Fund: 27, and Water Fund: 35 Facilitate a cost sharing program to incentivize the replacement of lead service lines in the Village. In 2022, the State of Illinois adopted the Illinois Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act. The Act requires several items, mainly the replacement of all lead service lines in the Village by 2042. In 1986, the federal government banned the use of lead in water service lines. Given the age of many homes in the Village, an estimated 230 lead services lines remain. Due to the health concerns of lead in water, remaining lead service lines pose a health concern to residents and their replacement considered a priority. To incentivize and facilitate the replacement of lead lines, the Village a cost sharing program in April, 2026 to offset portions of the construction costs associated with the replacement. 2027 will be the first full year of the program since it's implementation. The Village has approximately 230 lead services lines, meaning an estimated 16 replacements a year would be required to replace all lines by 2042. Over the life of the program, it is estimated to have a total cost of approximately $1.45 million.

The pressure reduction valve is a critical component of the water system, providing the Village with water security. If Wilmette water is unable to meet our demand, the PRV connection with Winnetka provides our Village with water as needed. If the pressure drops below 35 PSI, the Valve opens and provides Kenilworth with water until the pressure reaches 35 PSI. Currently, the state of the steel underground structure is in poor condition. The steel is exposed and rusting from salt and extreme moisture. In order to preserve the structure, necessary maintenance would include the removal of large amounts of rust and repainting the interior of the structure. The Village worked with its engineer to develop a maintenance plan, splitting key projects across three years. Year 1: Replacement of station lid, to prevent further water infiltration Year 2: Replacement of rusted check valve, butterfly valve, spool Year 3: Painting of the station, and floor repair If properly rehabbed, the Village will prolong the life of the structure. Installation of a new structure would cost an estimated $500,000. This cost saving is vital and important to the Village.

Capital Fund 27-100-8003 The migration of the Village's on-premise file server to Microsoft SharePoint. Currently, the Village hosts its main file server on-premise, meaning the equipment and data are physically located on site. Under the current model, only one person is able to work on a document at a time, and must be physical on site, or signed in through the VPN to be able to access the documents. This limits staff ability to access the system offsite, as well as Village contractors who are not onsite everyday. Using SharePoint offers numerous benefits, inlcuding enhanced collaboration, and improved accessibility. SharePoint allows multiple users to work on documents simultaneously, and is accessible from anywhere with Internet access, supporting remote and mobile work. Additionally, SharePoint integrates with other Microsoft 365 tools, helping streamline document management and increase productivity. Through the upgrade, the Village will eliminate access issues, as well as potentially reduce the amount IT equipment needed to host the service on site. This will help reduce the Village ongoing IT infrastructure and maintenance costs.

MFT and CIP Fund The construction of curbs and reconstruction of the roadway on Oxford Road (from Woodstock Avenue to Sheridan Road). Oxford Road is rated as having one of the worst road conditions in the Village. In addition, Oxford Road does not currently have concrete curbs, instead residents have individually installed boulders or railroad ties to identify the curb line. As a result of the these factors, Oxford Road experiences drainage issues during heavy storm events, as stormwater is not properly directed to catch basins. While a grind and overlay would provide a better road surface and appearance, it would not help address the larger drainage issues in the area. By incorporating the installation of curbs, this project will help address long standing drainage issues on Oxford Road, as well as further reducing the number of streets that do not have any curbs. The installation of curbs will also help extend the lifespan of the new roadway, as it reinforces the pavements edges, and manages the stormwater runoff. In 2026, the Village begin design engineering work, to ensure the project was built in a way to address the ongoing issues. The design is expected to be complete by the end of 2026 or early 2027.

The MDMS will carry an annual maintenance cost. The Village currently pays approximately $11,000 annually to its current MDMS provider (Aclara). Water Fund The replacement of all water meters in the Village. In 2009, the Village completed a system-wide water meter replacement program. The current water meters have a typical lifespan of 15-20 years, and are nearing end-of-life. As meters reach end-of-life, their accuracy becomes less dependable, potentially resulting in increased amounts of unbilled water. To prepare for their eventually replacement, Public Works will be bench-testing 20 older meters from the system to check their current accuracy levels. If the meters are still performing at a high level, the system-wide replacement may be able to be delayed a couple of years, however, at this time it is expected to be required within the next 3-10 years. When replacement is required, it will entail the replacement of the Village approximately 880 water meters. In addition, depending on which vendor is awarded the project, additional IT infrastructure may be required to be replaced, such as Meter Data Management System (MDMS). The MDMS allows the Village to track the usage of each customer in hourly intervals and is subsequently uploaded to generate quarterly bills.

Water Fund Design engineering and construction for the replacement of the water main on Green Bay Road, from Park Drive to the North Village limit. In 2018, the Village had a Water System Assessment prepared by Stanley Consultants which provides recommendations on how the Village should prioritize replacement based on the system’s hydraulics, age, and approximate costs. The replacement of the water mains on Green Bay Road was identified as a recommended replacement within the report. The existing water main on Green Bay Road is over 60 years old and has a diameter of 6". This has resulted in a reduction of water pressure to the fire hydrants in the area. By completing the replacement and upgrade to an 8" water main, the Village is replacing an aging piece of infrastructure and ensuring the fire hydrants in that area have the adequate flow rate for emergency use. In addition, there an estimated 17 lead service lines in the project area, which will be replaced as a result of this project. In 2020, the Village had a preliminary design of the replacement completed, however did not proceed to finalize drawings as funding was not available. With the ongoing Green Bay Road Enhancement Project, it will be imperative that the water main be replaced ahead of or during the project to avoid impacting streetscape improvements after completion. The project is currently planned for 2030, and will require finalizing design work prior to construction.
