Lisle CFO reports stronger sales-tax receipts, transfers to stormwater and capital funds
Summary
CFO Mitchell told the board Lisle's FY25—'26 second-quarter results show general-fund year-to-date revenues of $12.56 million (54.4% of budget), higher sales- and building-permit receipts, and transfers of $1,052,530 to stormwater and $1,775,000 to capital improvements; a water/sewer rate study is expected in March or April 2026.
CFO Mitchell summarized the village—s second-quarter financial position through Oct. 31, noting revenues and transfers that will guide the FY26—'27 budget process.
Mitchell reported year-to-date general-fund revenues of $12,558,424, which he said represents 54.4% of the $23,100,437 annual budget and is about $637,000 (5.34%) higher than the same period last fiscal year. Sales taxes and building-permit revenues were highlighted as contributors to revenue growth.
Mitchell also identified significant transfers: $1,052,530 moved from the general fund to the stormwater fund year-to-date (compared with about $451,000 the prior year), and a $1,775,000 transfer to the capital improvement fund to support property purchases, sidewalks, the Main Street streetscape and police facility improvements. Expenditures through Oct. 31 were reported at $12,265,802 (43% of the general-fund budget).
Looking ahead, Mitchell noted the volatility of sales-tax revenue, rising pension and public-safety expense pressures, unfunded capital projects that require long-term funding strategies, and the need to evaluate user fees. A village-conducted water and sewer rate study is expected to conclude in March or April 2026 and will inform fee recommendations for FY26—'27.
