[ARCHIVED] Village 2023 Budget Proposed

23

2023 Budget for Village of Lake Zurich


Lake Zurich's 2023 budget is presented as a balanced operational plan for the next year with a projected operating surplus of about $8,000 for the Village General Fund. Expenditures in the General Fund next year are expected to total $33.52 million, ending 2023 with a solid 35% fund balance.


The 2023 budget includes a reduction of the Village’s bond debt by $3.6 million. Ten years ago, in 2012, this bonded debt level was at $36.4 million. At the end of next year, this total debt is projected to be $20.67 million. 


This is an impressive debt reduction of 43% over a decade. This is a significant accomplishment that allows for AAA bond ratings and lower interest rates for taxpayers.


Among all Village Funds, the 2023 budget totals $73.9 million to fund a full-service municipality with 163 full-time employees. 


This budget blueprint was created with an eye on sustaining multi-year progress towards strategic goals and includes $19.8 million in infrastructure improvements and major equipment replacements for public safety and public works services.
