Village staff presented the proposed 2026 budget package, outlining operating requests, capital priorities and near-term assumptions.
The presenter said the total operating budget request for 2026 was $72,079,000 and described a 10-year community investment program totaling $90,100,000. The program would fund community and infrastructure projects, with $19,500,000 proposed for capital in calendar year 2026.
Staff described planned use of one-time reserves for capital and noted the general fund would plan for substantial capital expenditures; the presentation included a plan to draw roughly $22,000,000 for capital needs and maintenance of projected operating balances through 2026. Staff also reviewed the villagefinancial policies and a multi-year forecast tied to revenue and expenditure assumptions.
The presenter noted proposed changes in some fee schedules and referenced a property-tax levy (reported as increasing by 2.9 percent in the materials). Staff said further detail on specific fund-level changes was provided in the distributed budget documents and that additional review would occur as the finance committee and board consider the ordinance.
The transcript contains a large numeric value in one slide that appears to be a transcription error; staff-provided budget documents distributed with the meeting packet should be used as the authoritative numbers for detailed figures.
