The Mundelein Village Board approved the annual appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2025, and ending April 30, 2026, setting legal spending limits at $94,805,000.

The ordinance sets corporate appropriations at $46,675,000, special-purpose appropriations at $32,282,000 and water and sewer appropriations at $15,848,000. A legal notice of the public hearing was published in The Daily Herald on June 13, 2025, and the draft ordinance was available for public review at the village hall customer service office prior to the hearing.

“The purpose of this hearing is to review and receive public comment on the proposed appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year ending 04/30/2026,” the acting presiding official said at the hearing. No members of the public offered comments on the ordinance during the hearing. Finance committee remarks noted that the prior year’s total appropriation was $96,880,000.

Following the hearing, the board voted to adopt the ordinance by roll call. The board also approved payment of bills totaling $1,668,021.77 for the period June 10–June 23, 2025; trustees noted several line items related to upcoming Community Days events. The appropriation ordinance authorizes the legal cap for village expenditures but does not itself appropriate individual line-item spending beyond those limits.
