Treasurer Eric presented the Village of Deerfield’s September 2025 financial report at the Oct. 20 board meeting, telling trustees the report "represents 3 fourths of the year" and that year‑to‑date sales tax receipts continued to exceed the prior two years. Eric told trustees interest income had outperformed budget because rates remained higher than anticipated and that property tax and TIF increment payments had been received in September with another large payment expected in October.

Eric listed upcoming large expenditures including the village’s contribution to the police pension fund, debt service payments, and transfers to the refuse and infrastructure replacement funds. "Notable expenditures in September include construction and engineering costs as well as the progress payments for the solar panels at the treatment plants," Eric said.

The board approved minutes from the Oct. 6, 2025 meetings (motion and second recorded). During the minutes vote, one board member said they would abstain because they were not at the prior meeting; the motion passed. The board also approved bills and payroll by roll call (Trustee Goldstone: Yes; Trustee Greenberg: Yes; Trustee Jacoby: Yes; Trustee Oppenheim: Yes; Trustee Benton: Yes; Trustee Berg: Yes).

Near the end of the meeting the board voted to move into executive session "pursuant to 1 22 c 1 and 2 c 2, the Open Meetings Act"; a motion and second were recorded and the roll call showed trustees voting yes, after which the board adjourned into executive session.

The treasurer’s report and routine approvals were presented without extended debate; questions from trustees focused on timing of expected revenues and clarification of large upcoming expenditures. The executive session motion closed the public portion of the meeting.
