Finance Committee Minutes
March 9,2015

1. ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m., in the Boardroom, 920 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL 60015.
Present Committee members: Jeff Rivlin - Committee Chair, Seth Schriftman, and Ron Simon - Board
President
Absent: Ken Abosch
Staff: Business Manager Trisha Steele
2. OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, and CORRESPONDENCE
No request to address the Board.
3. OLD BUSINESS
a. None
4. NEW BUSINESS
a. The proposed movement of money from the General Fund to Reserve Fund
Mr. Jeff Rivlin explained the Board’s process of transferring excess from the General Fund to the Reserve
Fund and said that the Board’s goal was to restore $2 million in the Reserve Fund. He asked Ms. Trisha
Steele to provide information about the recommendation of a $991,000 transfer.
Ms. Steele explained that no funds were transferred during the previous two years due to the uncertainty of
various building-related issues. The budget adjustment in the prior year, which involved transferring money
from the Reserve Fund to the General Fund for building improvements, was calculated without
consideration of the eventual move of monies back to the Reserve Fund in order to keep the transfers
uncomplicated and easily tracked.
The committee members discussed the amount and how it compared to prior year’s contributions. The
elements of the calculation were considered, including the funding needs in the General Fund until major tax
revenues are received in June.
Motion: Mr. Ron Simon made a motion to recommend that the Board approve of a transfer from the General
Fund to the Reserve Fund in the amount of $991,000. Mr. Seth Schriftman seconded the motion.
All were in favor and the motion passed.
b. Recommended investment schedule for the Reserve Fund
The committee members reviewed the current ladder plan for the Reserve Fund and considered whether the
amounts should be increased, or the ladder should be extended.
Mr. Rivlin explained that a ladder plan provides safety and ensures that the Library will be able to take
advantage of better rates, once they are available. Ms. Steele added that laddering also provides emergency
funding options and can be easily modified or discontinued to ensure access to the funds when the Board has
specific long-term improvement plans.
Mr. Rivlin asked for more information about the collateral provided and how it is held. Ms. Steele said she
would scan the most recent report and email it to the committee members.
Mr. Rivlin said that the Reserve Fund investment ladder amounts should be increased to at least $250,000,
the amounts per maturity period should be equalized, and the ladder should be extended, but not beyond
three years. Mr. Schriftman and Mr. Simon agreed.

Finance Committee Minutes
March 9, 2015
c. Suggestions for Finance Policies changes
Ms. Steele explained that several of the finance policies were recently reviewed by staff and no changes
were recommended, and asked if the committee members agreed that no changes were needed at this time.
These policies were: Purchasing Policy, Petty Cash Policy, Ethics Ordinance, and the Identity Protection
Policy. No changes were proposed.
Ms. Steele shared two changes to the Investment Policy recommended by the Library’s investment advisors
at PM A. The suggested modifications were to paragraph 8, Authorized and Suitable Investments, and
paragraph 9, Collateralization. The recommended changes reflect the strategies implemented by PMA on
behalf of the Library. Ms. Steele noted that the current policy is based on the State’s Public Fund
Investment Act, which was designed to accommodate large entities, such as counties. Some of the State’s
authorized investments are not suitable for a smaller entity that doesn’t have the investment diversity
capacity of a larger entity.
The committee members discussed collateralization and the recommended investment options, noting that
the suggested options are the more conservative elements of the State’s Public Fund Investment Act. Mr.
Rivlin asked if Illinois Funds would be affected by upcoming changes to money market accounts, where
stable rates could become floating rates and possibly dip below zero. Ms. Steele said she would follow-up
on that issue.
Mr. Simon recommended that the changes be approved, pending the satisfactory resolution of Mr. Rivlin’s
question; Mr. Rivlin and Mr. Schriftman agreed. There was some discussion about the procedure for
implementing the change and it was agreed that the changes would be discussed at the next Board meeting.
d. Proposed new salary schedules (if necessary)
Ms. Steele said that Mr. Ken Abosch had worked with the Library Director, Ms. Mary Pergander, on the
proposed new salary schedules and that they had determined that there was sufficient funding under the
current budget so that the new schedules did not need to be reviewed by the Finance Committee.
5. EXECUTIVE SESSION
None.
6. ADJOURNMENT
At 7:02, there being no further business, Mr. Schriftman made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Simon.
The meeting was adjourned.

Discussion of FY 2017 Budget Draft
a.
No questions have been submitted by any board members regarding the 2017 Budget prior to
second Finance Committee meeting. Mr. Ken Abosch asked if the budget presented was balanced
and what the proposed levy increase is. Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson stated that we have proposed
4.8% increase. She discussed a few budget line changes that were brought up at the September
board meeting. Mr. Abosch asked about Facility Maintenance line item. Ms. DeCorrevont
explained that we have collapsed these accounts into one line item. Mr. Schriftman stated the
proposed small increase will help to provide more services, materials and programs to the
community, as well as to assist with annual transfers to our reserve fund.
Mr. Schriftman made a motion that the Finance Committee present the FY2017 Budget draft to
the Board for approval. Ms. Wener seconded. All committee members voted yes.

some time. Mr. Schriftman suggested that the Library's goal should be to maintain at least 18
months of minimum revenues. He feels that this policy is a good place to start. Mr. Schriftman
asked the Board if they have any questions. There were no specific questions.
Mr. Schriftman made a recommendation that the Finance Committee present the Fund Balance
Policy with the suggested language changes to the Board. Ms. Wener seconded. All committee
members voted yes.
3. ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Schriftman moved to close the meeting at 7:06 p.m., seconded by Mr. Abosch.
Upcoming Board meetings: October 19

OLD BUSINESS
A. Discussion of FY 2016 Budget Draft and Levy Request
Mr. Seth Schriftman led the discussion which included the quality and quantity of library materials,
additional costs and building efficiencies for the new facility, the potential for a Maker Space, other
Automation new projects, strategic planning, the memorials tree, and 'warming-up' possibilities.
Mr. Simon questioned whether the proposed 3% increase in wages is realistic considering the Library's
potential strategic needs. It was determined that some Capital Outlay could be postponed, and that about
$10,000 in funding should be shifted to the budget for personnel. It was agreed that staff development is a
high priority in the 2016 budget.
The proposed reduction in revenues was discussed, including property taxes and the elimination of the Per
Capita Grant. The committee discussed the likelihood of receiving the State's Per Capita Grant whether the
Library should plan on receiving it in 2016. An application will be submitted. The revised levy request was
discussed and it was determined to be appropriate.
Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson introduced the reports used for the levy request. She explained that the
allocation of costs in the Working Budget, an in-house management tool, is slightly different than the
official budget format that is delivered to the Village, presented to the public, and used for the levy
request. Ms. Trisha Steele reviewed the budget format differences, which include breaking out
commodity-type expenses from contractual expenses in Automation and Facilities, and budgeting
according to GAAP. The Library uses funds internally to better manage resources, but is presented as a
single fund.
Fund balance projections were discussed. Ms. Steele introduced a new projection worksheet that can
assist in tracking the sufficiency of reserves in the General Fund. She noted that the Library's General Fund
reserves will be very low in June 2016. She pointed out that should property taxes not be received as
anticipated in June, the Library will have funding for about two months of operations. The General Fund
may also need resources to loan money for the debt service payments due at the beginning of June. The
Reserve Fund balance was also discussed.
It was noted that the public meetings will be held at the Village Hall: the Budget Public Hearing on
November 2nd and the Tax Levy Hearing on November 16th.
Mr. Schriftman proposed that the Proposed 2016 Budget and 2015 Levy, as amended, be presented to the
Board for adoption. Mr. Simon agreed.

Finance Committee Meeting Minutes
October 7, 2015

4.

NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion of current year budget adjustments
Ms. Steele reviewed the process for reallocating budgeted costs at year end. Potential adjustments were
discussed and Ms. Steele said that they would be brought to the Board probably in December. Mr. Simon
noted that small adjustments, fewer than 1%, were a sign of very successful budgeting and management.
Mr. Simon noted that the Memorials Committee will be asking that the Finance Committee address how to
handle "medium" donors -smaller than those eligible for room naming and larger than the donations handled
by the Friends group; for example, a bequest.

ADJOURNMENT
At 7:38, there being no further business, Mr. Schriftman made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Simon.
The motion was approved and the meeting was adjourned.
