Village Receives Clean Financial Audit Opinion and GFOA Award
The 2025 Financial Audit and Management Letter was presented by Finance Director Mr. Black and Jamie Wilke from Lauterbach & Associates. The audit resulted in a 'clean' or unmodified opinion, indicating the village's financials are materially correct. There were no findings related to internal controls. The village received a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), the highest level of financial reporting. The audit report, including Management's Discussion and Analysis (MDNA) and a statistical section with 10-year trend information, was provided. The SAS 114 letter confirmed standard communication with no disagreements with management. Both Mr. Black and Ms. Wilke commended the village staff, particularly Christine Berman, for their cooperation and excellent work on the audit. Trustee Cesario inquired about the increase in net position, which was attributed to continued investment in capital assets and infrastructure. Trustee Cesario also asked about the pension funding status, with IMRF at 92% funded (exceeding the 2040 requirement), police pension at 86.05% funded (one of the highest for its size), and fire pension at 90.8% funded (top-tier).
Board Approves 76,500 Sq Ft Warehouse Addition for Siemens
The Village Board approved Ordinance 2026-64, which includes the approval of a plat of consolidation, a preliminary plan, and a parking variation for the construction of an approximately 76,500 square foot addition at 900 and 1000 Deerfield Parkway. The project, proposed by CRE Deerfield Associates for their tenant Siemens, involves expanding Siemens' warehouse and distribution operations. The addition will be connected to the existing office building and built on the site of a previously demolished former Siemens office. The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) unanimously recommended approval, subject to staff conditions. Trustee Johnson expressed support, noting Siemens' positive contributions and goodwill towards local school districts, and welcomed their continued investment and expansion in Buffalo Grove.
Minor Amendment to Clove Plan Development Approved
The Village Board approved Ordinance 2026-66, a minor amendment to Ordinance 2022-063 for the Clove Plan Development. This amendment is related to the previously discussed changes regarding the Whole Foods Market lease and its operational model, ensuring the PUD aligns with the updated redevelopment agreement. The approval was conditional as outlined in the ordinance.
Village Board Approves Warrant for Over $8.3 Million
The Village Board approved Warrant Number 1395, totaling $8,327,946.60. The warrant included significant expenses for debt service payments, capital projects (Fire Station 25, streets), and the water fund, reflecting the start of the construction season. Individual fund totals were presented, along with payroll expenses for periods ending May 21st and June 4th, 2026. The approval was moved by Trustee Cesario and seconded, passing with all trustees voting 'Aye'.
