November 1, 2019 The Honorable Robert R. Kolosh, Village President Members of the Board of Trustees Citizens of the Village of Thornton The comprehensive annual financial report of the Village of Thornton for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019 is hereby submitted. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the Village of Thornton. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Village of Thornton’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Village of Thornton’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects. The Village of Thornton’s financial statements have been audited by Lauterbach & Amen, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Village of Thornton for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019 are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Village’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Village’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the Village of Thornton The Village of Thornton, incorporated in 1834, is located approximately 20 miles south of downtown Chicago, in southeastern Cook County. The Village covers an area of approximately 2.5 square miles. The Village is situated within a significant regional transportation network, which enables residents to be linked to a number of major employment centers in the Chicago metropolitan area. Access to Interstate 80/294 is located within one mile of the Village’s corporate boundaries, while access to Interstate 94 is located approximately two miles from the Village’s corporate boundaries. The Village is governed by a President and Board of six Trustees. Policy making and legislative authority are vested in the Village Board. The Village Board is responsible for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the Village Administrator and various Department Heads upon selection by the Village President. The Village Administrator is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the Village Board and for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Village. The Village President and Village Board are elected at-large on a non-partisan basis to staggered terms of four years. The Village provides a full range of services, including building and zoning; code enforcement; community and economic development; maintenance of streets, sidewalks and infrastructure; water distribution and waste water transmission; police protection; fire protection and paramedic services; and parks and recreation. For financial reporting purposes, in conformity with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 39, this report includes all the funds and component units of the Village. The Village is a member of an intergovernmental insurance pool, the Illinois Municipal League Risk Management Association (IMLRMA). This pool is defined as a public entity risk pool and is accounted for accordingly. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Village’s financial planning and control. All departments of the Village are required to submit their budget requests to the Village Administrator during the second week of January of each year. The Village Administrator uses these requests as the starting point for developing the proposed budget. The Village Administrator then presents this proposed budget to the Village Board in March of each year. The Village Board is required to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget no later than April 30th of each year. The Village Board may make transfers of appropriations periodically throughout the fiscal year. Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. Economic Condition and Outlook For several years now, the Village’s General Fund has finished with modest surpluses. Each fiscal year since 2009 has seen the Village continue to operate with surpluses in the Village’s General Fund, steadily increasing Village reserves towards targeted levels which were set in the Village’s 2013 adopted Fund Balance Policy. Targeted reserves are a minimum of four months and a maximum of six months unassigned fund balance. Through this policy the Board passed a Resolution during FY’16 to move $550,000 from its unassigned fund balance to its Capital Fund as it had met targeted levels. This had made a fairly positive significant impact on our Capital Fund. The Capital Fund has had a continual

Page 11: VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS7433732F-5ACD...VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 2 Letter of Transmittal 3 - 7 8 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 9 - 10 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION

spend down since then as the Village has yearly Capital needs. The Capital Fund is down to approximately $130,000 at FY’19 year end. The Village of Thornton is geographically landlocked, which has limited the potential for new commercial, industrial or residential development. Due to the modest commercial tax base within the community, the Village government is reliant on property taxes to finance the majority of General Fund expenditures. In addition, the Village is home to one of the world’s largest active limestone quarries, owned and operated by Hanson Material Service. The externalities associated with mining operations in the community have further hindered the Village’s efforts to expand its commercial tax base. The Village has had some success in its modestly paced recovery from the 2009 Recession; bringing in a couple of new businesses each year. The Thornton Distilling Co., now in its 2nd full year of operations has generated the most regional ‘buzz’ of any business in the Village. They continue to lobby for improvements for craft distillers at the State and Federal level and the Village continues to support them locally. The Distillery was the anticipated cornerstone business when the Village Board created the Blackstone TIF in 2015. Unfortunately, a decision by the State of Illinois granted a tax exempt status to Thorncreek Senior Living which was to be one of the main contributors to the increment in the Blackstone TIF. This has greatly impacted the growth of the Blackstone TIF, which has limited the Village’s ability to work with current businesses on expansion, as well as to bring new businesses to that area. The Village also created a new Downtown TIF as the original Downtown TIF was set to expire at the end of 2017. The new Downtown TIF District is significantly smaller than the old one as the Village had successfully increased the EAV in the northern section of the old Downtown TIF. The Village will continue to strive and do the same in the new Downtown TIF. The Village Board, working closely with Village staff, continues to make affordable, sustainable improvements in the Village. Maintenance of vehicles, buildings, and equipment have become a high priority as not being able to do those things during the recession as shown what happens when those things are neglected. The Board is also committed to replace equipment and vehicles when a cost benefit analysis shows it is the best course of action. Capital Projects/Purchases: As the Capital Fund’s balanced has decreased every year since 2015, capital purchases were held to minimal levels this fiscal year. The most significant capital expenditure the Village made was a new software program. The program will be utilized for utility billing, payroll, accounts payable, and general ledger activity. The program replaces a older program purchased back in the 1980’s that was based off of COBOL computer language. The new program easily creates EXCEL spreadsheets and should provide staff more information for better analysis of Village financial functions. Staff vehicles were also purchased for Public Works and the Police Department. The replaced vehicle was then given to our Emergency Management Department. The Village’s oldest vehicles were then declared surplus and sold at auction.

Long-term Financial Planning The Village continues to look for ways to increase revenues and decrease expenditures to help balance the Village’s budget. Although some aspects only impact the Village’s annual budget process, others impact our long-term financial planning. Some examples of these types of decisions are: Use of multi-year contracts – The Village has had a history of obtaining a ten year mining contract with Hanson Material Service. The ten year agreement is more stable than a mining tax which could fluctuate greatly from year to year based on the region’s need for stone. The Village negotiated a twenty year sales tax sharing agreement with the Village of Homewood for their Menards expansion. Sales tax sharing started this fiscal year in which the Village received its first payment of twenty for $35,000.00. The Village also negotiates multi-year expenditure contracts for garbage service (5 years), fireworks displays (3 years), and audit services (3 years). Labor negotiations – much like multi-year contracts, the Village negotiates a minimum of a three year contract with the police union. Negotiating multiple years can lower the Village’s labor attorney costs and has a positive effect on employer-employee relations. This fiscal year the Village was able to negotiate a 4 year deal with Teamsters Local 700. C.O.L.A. raises for the length of the contract were set at 10%, with each year getting a portion of that amount. One time revenues – currently deposited solely in the Village’s Capital Fund, this is done by the decisions of the Village Administrator and Treasurer and not by any policy. Along with the previously mentioned Capital Policy that the Village hasn’t passed yet, this is a policy that staff is looking to implement as well. Health Insurance – health insurance rates are continually on the rise. The Village recently started offering incentives to employees that enroll in HSA’s. HSA’s save the Village a significant amount of money over traditional PPO plans. Other Information The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Village of Thornton for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. This was the seventh consecutive year that the Village has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

November 1, 2019

The Honorable Village President Members of the Board of Trustees Village of Thornton, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Thornton, Illinois, as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as

listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Village’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Thornton, Illinois, as of April 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s

discussion and analysis as listed in the table of contents and budgetary information reported in the required supplementary information as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Village of Thornton, Illinois’ basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules, supplemental schedules, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules and supplemental schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules and supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Page 20: VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS7433732F-5ACD...VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 2 Letter of Transmittal 3 - 7 8 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 9 - 10 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis April 30, 2019 Our discussion and analysis of the Village of Thornton’s financial performance provides an overview of the Village’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019. Please read it in conjunction with the Village’s transmittal letter which begins on page 3 and the Village’s financial statements, which begin on page 22. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• The Village’s net position decreased as a result of this year’s operations. The net position of business-type activities decreased by $63,062 or 14.4 percent and net position of the governmental activities decreased by $156,065 or 2.7 percent.

• During the year, government-wide revenues for the primary government totaled $5,242,847,

while expenses totaled $5,461,973, resulting in a decrease to net position of $219,127.

• The Village’s net position totaled $6,060,419 on April 30, 2019, which includes $4,265,417 invested in capital assets, net of related debt, $471,079 subject to external restrictions, and $1,323,923 unrestricted net position that may be used to meet the ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

• The General Fund reported a surplus this year of $213,067, resulting in ending fund balance

of $1,816,458, an increase of 13.3 percent.

• Beginning net position was restated by $136,569 due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 75 (OPEB).

USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities (on pages 22 - 25) provide information about the activities of the Village as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Village’s finances. Fund financial statements begin on page 26. For governmental activities, these statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the Village’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the Village’s most significant funds. The remaining statements provide financial information about activities for which the Village acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of those outside of the government. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements provide readers with a broad overview of the Village’s finances, in a matter similar to a private-sector business. The government wide financial statements can be found on pages 22 - 25 of this report. The Statement of Net Position reports information on all of the Village’s assets/deferred outflows and liabilities/deferred inflows, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Village is improving or deteriorating. Consideration of other nonfinancial factors, such as changes in the Village’s property tax base and the condition of the Village’s infrastructure, is needed to assess the overall health of the Village.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis April 30, 2019 USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT – Continued Government-Wide Financial Statements – Continued The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the Village that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the Village include general government, public safety, public works and culture and recreation. The business-type activities of the Village include water and sewer operations. The Village includes one separate legal entity in its report. The Thornton Public Library is presented as a discretely presented component unit. Although legally separate, this “component unit” is important because the Village is financially accountable for it. Financial information for the component unit is reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Village, like other local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Village can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds. Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the Village’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis April 30, 2019 USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT – Continued Fund Financial Statements – Continued Governmental Funds – Continued The Village maintains eleven individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Debt Service, Capital Projects Fund and Downtown TIF Fund, which are considered major funds. Data from the other seven governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The Village adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of the governmental funds. A budgetary comparison schedule for these funds has been provided to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 26 -31 of this report. Proprietary Funds The Village maintains one proprietary fund type: enterprise. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government–wide financial statements. The Village utilizes an enterprise fund to account for its water and sewer operations. Proprietary fund financial statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Water and Sewer Fund, which is considered to be a major fund of the Village. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 32 - 35 of this report. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 36 - 67 of this report. Other Information In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the Village’s I.M.R.F. and Other Post Employment Benefit Plan employee pension obligations and General Fund budgetary comparison schedule. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 68 - 72 of this report. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds is presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 73 - 98 of this report.

TotalGovernmental

ActivitiesBusiness-type

Activities

A large portion of the Village’s net position, $4,265,417 or 70.4 percent, reflects its investment in capital assets (for example, land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The Village uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Village’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion, $471,079 or 7.8 percent, of the Village’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining 21.8 percent, or $1,323,923, represents unrestricted net position and may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis April 30, 2019 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS – Continued Net position of the Village’s governmental activities decreased by 2.7 percent ($5,684,902 in 2019 compared to a restated $5,840,967 in 2018). Unrestricted net position, the part of net position that can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints, totaled $1,360,495 at April 30, 2019. Net position of business-type activities decreased by 14.4 percent ($375,517 in 2019 compared to $438,579 in 2018). Governmental Activities Revenues for governmental activities totaled $4,521,338, while the cost of all governmental functions totaled $4,677,403. This results in a deficit of $156,065. In 2018, expenses of $4,834,328 exceeded revenues of $4,577,581, resulting in a deficit of $256,747. The following table graphically depicts the major revenue sources of the Village. It depicts very clearly the reliance of property taxes and charges for services to fund governmental activities. It also clearly identifies the less significant percentage the Village receives from interest and miscellaneous income.

Business-Type Activities Business-type activities posted total revenues of $721,508, while the cost of all business-type activities totaled $784,570. This results in a deficit of $63,062. In 2018, expenses of $727,468 exceed revenues of $677,430, resulting in a deficit of $50,038. The deficit in the current year was a result of higher than anticipated increases in water costs from suppliers.

The above graph compares program revenues to expenses for water and sewer operations.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis April 30, 2019 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS As noted earlier, the Village uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental Funds The focus of the Village’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. The Village’s governmental funds reported combining ending fund balances of $2,354,728, which is $202,534 or 7.9 percent, less than last year’s total of $2,557,262. Of the $2,354,728 total, $1,640,819, or approximately 69.7 percent, of the fund balance constitutes unassigned fund balance. The General Fund reported a positive change in fund balance for the year of $213,067, an increase of 13.3 percent. Intergovernmental revenues increased $189,540 over the prior fiscal years. This is attributable to the new local sales tax approved by the Village Board which generated $83,988 in new revenue source. The Village also received its first payment of $35,000 from a sales tax revenue sharing agreement with a neighboring community. Further details are outlined on the General Fund budgetary highlights on the next page. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Village. At April 30, 2019, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund was $1,696,417, which represents 93.4 percent of the total fund balance of the General Fund. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare unassigned fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance in the General Fund represents approximately 44.8 percent of total General Fund expenditures. The Debt Service Fund reported a deficit in the current year of $32,240 as a result of expenses associated with the refunding of outstanding debt. The economic gain of the refunding was $144,142. The ending fund balance of $119,466 is restricted for future debt service costs. The Capital Projects Fund reported a deficit of $181,290 for this fiscal year. This is a result of planned capital expenditures from existing cash on hand. The Downtown TIF Fund reported a net decrease of $147,382. The Village continued to promote economic development within its downtown area.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Management’s Discussion and Analysis April 30, 2019 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS – Continued Proprietary Funds The Village’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The Village reports the Water and Sewer Fund as a major proprietary fund. This fund accounts for all of the operations of the municipal water and sewer system. Water is purchased primarily from the City of Chicago Heights. The Village purchases water from the Village of South Holland to service property owners north of the interstate. The current year's charges for service of $720,195 increased $43,764 or 6.5 percent. Expenses of $784,570 were $57,102, or 7.8 percent more than the prior year. This resulted in a decrease in net position of $63,062. The Village intends to run the fund at a breakeven rate. Periodically, there will be annual surplus or draw down due to timing of capital projects. The net position in the Water and Sewer Fund at April 30, 2019 was $375,517, while the previous fiscal year reported net position of $438,579. Unrestricted net position in the Water and Sewer Fund was a deficit of $36,572. The Village Board has undertaken the process of evaluating fees in conjunction with the ever increasing cost of water from its suppliers. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS The Village Board amends the budget periodically as needed. General Fund actual revenues for the year totaled $4,008,913, compared to budgeted revenues of $4,048,878 or $39,965 less than budgeted. Charges for services, fines and forfeits, and interest were higher than budgeted by $33,261, $17,346, and $13,017, respectively. All other revenues were less than budgeted with the most significant being taxes less than budgeted by $164,888. The General Fund actual expenditures for the year were $263,788 lower than budgeted ($3,784,898 actual compared to $4,048,686 budgeted). All of the functions (general government, public safety, public works and culture and recreation) actual expenditures were lower than budgeted expenditures by $60,590; $112,882; $52,184 and $38,132 respectively due to cost controlling measures throughout the year by the Village's Board and management.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET AND RATES The Village’s elected and appointed officials considered many factors when setting the fiscal-year 2020 budget, including tax rates, and fees that will be charged for its various activities. One of those factors is the economy. The Village of Thornton is a small bedroom community with limited opportunities for economic development. However, the board and staff have successfully attracted a distillery/brew-pub among other independently owned businesses to the area. The Village is faced with a similar economic environment as many of the other local municipalities are faced with, including inflation, slumping interest rates, and soaring unemployment rates. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Village’s finances for all those with an interest in the government’s finances.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS

Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Village of Thornton, Illinois (Village) provides various municipal services to its residents. These services include police protection, fire protection, paramedic services, water and sewer systems, public works operations, road and bridge maintenance and general administration. The Village is a Home Rule unit under the Home Rule provision of the Illinois State Constitution.

The government-wide financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is responsible for establishing GAAP for state and local governments through its pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations). The more significant of the Village’s accounting policies established in GAAP and used by the Village are described below.

REPORTING ENTITY

The Village’s financial reporting entity comprises the following:

Primary Government: Village of Thornton

Discretely Presented Component Unit: Thornton Public Library

In determining the financial reporting entity, the Village complies with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 61, “The Financial Reporting Omnibus – an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 34,” and includes all component units that have a significant operational or financial relationship with the Village.

Discretely Presented Component Unit

Discretely presented component units are separate legal entities that meet the component unit criteria described in GASB Statement No. 61 but do not meet the criteria for blending.

Thornton Public Library

The Thornton Public Library has a separate elected board and provides service to residents, generally within the geographic boundaries of the Village. The Library Board of Trustees annually determines its budget and resulting tax levy. Upon approval of the Village, the levy is submitted to the County. All debt of the Library is secured by the full faith and credit of the Village. The Library is considered a component unit of the Village of Thornton for purposes of these financial statements. The Library’s report is presented in the Village of Thornton’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued BASIS OF PRESENTATION Government-Wide Statements The Village’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the Village as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the Village’s major funds). Both the government–wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either governmental or business type. The Village’s police and fire safety, highway and street maintenance and reconstruction, building code enforcement, public improvements, economic development, planning and zoning, culture and recreation, and general administrative services are classified as governmental activities. The Village’s water and sewer activities are classified as business-type activities. In the government-wide Statement of Net Position, both the governmental and business-type activities columns are: (a) presented on a consolidated basis by column, and (b) reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets/deferred outflows and receivables as well as long-term debt/deferred inflows and obligations. The Village’s net position is reported in three parts: net investment in capital assets; restricted; and unrestricted. The Village first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities. The government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each of the Village’s functions and business-type activities (general government, public safety, public works, etc). The functions are supported by general government revenues (property, sales and use taxes, certain intergovernmental revenues, fines, permits and charges for services, etc.). The Statement of Activities reduces gross expenses (including depreciation) by related program revenues, which include 1) changes to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. The net costs (by function or business-type activity) are normally covered by general revenue (property, sales and use taxes, certain intergovernmental revenues, permits and charges for services, etc). This government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the Village as an entity and the change in the Village’s net position resulting from the current year’s activities. Fund Financial Statements The financial transactions of the Village are reported in individual funds in the fund financial statements. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, fund equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. The emphasis in fund financial statements is on the major funds in either the governmental or business-type activities categories.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued BASIS OF PRESENTATION – Continued Fund Financial Statements – Continued Nonmajor funds by category are summarized into a single column. GASB Statement No. 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of the assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues or expenditures/expenses of either fund category or the governmental and enterprise combined) for the determination of major funds. The nonmajor funds are combined in a column in the fund financial statements. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the Village or meets the following criteria:

Total assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and

Total assets/deferred outflows, liabilities/deferred inflows, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined.

The various funds are reported by generic classification within the financial statements. The following fund types are used by the Village: Governmental Funds The focus of the governmental funds’ measurement (in the fund statements) is upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position (sources, uses, and balances of financial resources) rather than upon net income. The following is a description of the governmental funds of the Village: General fund is the general operating fund of the Village. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The General Fund is a major fund. Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The Village maintains three nonmajor special revenue funds. Debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of funds for the periodic payment of principal and interest on general long-term debt. The Debt Service Fund is reported as a major fund.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued BASIS OF PRESENTATION – Continued Fund Financial Statements – Continued Governmental Funds – Continued Capital projects funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by business-type/proprietary funds). The Village maintains two major capital projects funds, the Capital Projects Fund and the Downtown TIF Fund. The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the disbursement of bond proceeds and other resources for capital improvements and acquisitions. The Downtown TIF Fund is used to account for resources used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities within the Downtown Tax Increment Financing District. The Village also maintains four nonmajor capital projects funds. Proprietary Funds The focus of proprietary fund measurement is upon determination of operating income, changes in net position, financial position, and cash flows. The generally accepted accounting principles applicable are those similar to businesses in the private sector. The following is a description of the proprietary funds of the Village: Enterprise funds are required to account for operations for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services and the activity is (a) financed with debt that is solely secured by a pledge of the net revenues, (b) has third party requirements that the cost of providing services, including capital costs, be recovered with fees and charges, or (c) establishes fees and charges based on a pricing policy designed to recover similar costs. The Village maintains one major proprietary fund, the Water and Sewer Fund, which is used to account for the provision of water and sewer services to the residents of the Village. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration, operations and maintenance, financing and related debt service, billing and collection MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Measurement focus is a term used to describe “which” transactions are recorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to “when” transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING – Continued Measurement Focus On the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-type activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus as defined below. In the fund financial statements, the “current financial resources” measurement focus or the “economic resources” measurement focus is used as appropriate. All governmental funds utilize a “current financial resources” measurement focus. Only current financial assets/deferred outflows and liabilities/deferred inflows are generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period. All proprietary funds utilize an “economic resources” measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net position (or cost recovery), financial position, and cash flows. All assets/deferred outflows and liabilities/deferred inflows (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported. Proprietary fund equity is classified as net position. Basis of Accounting In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-like activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability/deferred inflow is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets/deferred outflows, and liabilities/deferred inflows resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when “measurable and available.” Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the amount. Available means collectible within the current period or within sixty days after year-end. The Village recognizes property taxes when they become both measurable and available in accordance with GASB Codification Section P70. A sixty-day availability period is used for revenue recognition for all other governmental fund revenues. Expenditures (including capital outlay) are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for general obligation bond principal and interest which are recognized when due.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING – Continued Basis of Accounting – Continued In applying the susceptible to accrual concept under the modified accrual basis, those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, interest revenue, and charges for services. All other revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable until received in cash. All proprietary funds utilize the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Village’s enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The Village also recognizes as operating revenue the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. ASSETS/DEFERRED OUTFLOWS, LIABILITIES/DEFERRED INFLOWS, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY Cash and Investments Cash and cash equivalents on the Statement of Net Position are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and cash with fiscal agent. For the purpose of the proprietary funds “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, cash with fiscal agent, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Investments are generally reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. For investments, the Village categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. All of the Village’s investments are in 2a7-like investment pools that are measured at the net asset value per share determined by the pool.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued ASSETS/DEFERRED OUTFLOWS, LIABILITIES/DEFERRED INFLOWS, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY – Continued Receivables In the government-wide financial statements, receivables consist of all revenues earned at year-end and not yet received. Allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable are based upon historical trends and the periodic aging of accounts receivable. Major receivables balances for governmental activities include property taxes, sales and use taxes, income taxes, utility taxes and grants. Business-type activities report utility charges as their major receivables. Interfund Receivables, Payables and Activity Interfund activity is reported as loans, services provided, reimbursements or transfers. Loans are reported as interfund receivables and payables as appropriate and are subject to elimination upon consolidation. Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or proprietary funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide financial statements. Prepaids Prepaids are valued at cost, which approximates market. The cost of governmental fund-type prepaids are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaids in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. Capital Assets Capital assets purchased or acquired with an original cost of $2,500 or more are reported at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are reported at acquisition value as of the date received. Additions, improvements and other capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. General capital assets are long-lived assets of the Village as a whole. When purchased, such assets are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and capitalized. Infrastructure such as streets, traffic signals and signs are capitalized. The valuation basis for general capital assets are historical cost, or where historical cost is not available, estimated historical cost based on replacement costs.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued ASSETS/DEFERRED OUTFLOWS, LIABILITIES/DEFERRED INFLOWS, AND NET POSITION OR EQUITY – Continued Capital Assets – Continued Capital assets in the proprietary funds are capitalized in the fund in which they are utilized. The valuation bases for proprietary fund capital assets are the same as those used for the general capital assets. Donated capital assets are capitalized at estimated fair market value on the date donated. Depreciation on all assets is computed and recorded using the straight-line method of depreciation over the following estimated useful lives:

Land Improvements 15 - 20 Years Buildings and Improvements 5 - 45 Years Water Distribution System 40 Years Machinery and Equipment 3 - 20 Years Vehicles 6 Years Infrastructure 20 - 40 Years

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Deferred outflow/inflow of resources represents an acquisition/reduction of net position that applies to a future period and therefore will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense)/inflow of resources (revenue) until that future time. Compensated Absences The Village accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and associated employee-related costs when earned (or estimated to be earned) by the employee. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, no liability is recorded for nonvesting accumulation rights to receive sick pay benefits. However, a liability is recognized for that portion of accumulated sick leave that is estimated to be taken as “terminal leave” prior to retirement. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.

Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as expenses at the time of issuance. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Net Position In the government-wide financial statements, equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:

Net investment in capital assets – Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Restricted – Consists of net position with constraints placed on the use either by (1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislations. Unrestricted – All other net position balances that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.”

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 3 – DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS The Village maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion of this pool is displayed on the financial statements as "cash and investments." In addition, investments are separately held by several of the Village's funds. The Village's investment policy authorizes the Village to invest in all investments allowed by Illinois Compiles Statutes. Permitted Deposits and Investments – Statutes authorize the Village to make deposits/invest in commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agencies, credit union shares, repurchase agreements, commercial paper rated within the three highest classifications by at least two standard rating services, and the Illinois Funds. The Illinois Funds is an investment pool managed by the Illinois Public Treasurer’s Office which allows governments within the State to pool their funds for investment purposes. The Illinois Funds is not registered with the SEC as an investment company. Investments in Illinois Funds are valued at the share price, the price for which the investment could be sold. Village Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, Custodial Credit Risk and Concentration Risk Deposits. At year-end, the carrying amount of the Village’s deposits for governmental and business-type activities totaled $1,247,573 and the bank balances totaled $1,306,615. In addition, the Village had $1,156,000 invested in the Illinois Funds with an average maturity of less than one year.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The Villages’ investment policy does not limit the Village’s investment portfolio to specific maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. State statues authorize the Village to invest in securities which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, direct obligations of qualified financial institutions, short-term obligations of U.S. corporations meeting certain requirements, and registered money market mutual funds meeting certain requirements and the Illinois Funds. The Village’s investment in the Illinois Funds is rated AAAm by Standard and Poor’s. Custodial Credit Risk. In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Village’s deposits may not be returned to it. The Village’s investment policy requires pledging of collateral for all bank balances in excess of federal depository insurance, at an amount not less than 110% of the fair market value of the funds secured, with the collateral witnessed by a written collateral agreement and held by an independent third party. At year-end, the Village’s total bank balances were fully collateralized or insured.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 3 – DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS – Continued DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS – Continued Village Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, Custodial Credit Risk and Concentration Risk – Continued Custodial Credit Risk – Continued. For an investment, this is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the Village will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The Village’s investment policy does not mitigate custodial credit risk for investments. Illinois Funds are not subject to custodial credit risk. Concentration Risk. This is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of the Village’s investment in a single issuer. The Village’s investment policy does not address concentration risk. At year-end, the Village does not have any investments over 5 percent of the total cash and investment portfolio (other than investments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds, external investment pools, and other pooled investments). PROPERTY TAXES Property taxes for 2018 attach as an enforceable lien on January 1, 2018, on property values assessed as of the same date. Taxes are levied by December of the subsequent fiscal year (by passage of a Tax Levy Ordinance). Tax bills are prepared by Cook County and are payable in two installments, on or about March 1 and September 1. The County collects such taxes and remits them periodically. INTERFUND TRANSFERS Interfund transfers for the year consisted of the following:

Defeased Debt On September 18, 2018, the Village issued $1,260,000 par value General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series of 2018 to fully refund $1,260,000 of the General Obligation Bonds Series of 2008. The Village defeased bonds by placing the proceeds of the new bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payment of the old bonds. Since the requirements that normally satisfy defeasance have been met, the financial statements reflect satisfaction of the original liability through the irrevocable transfer to an escrow agent of an amount computed to be adequate to meet the future debt service requirements of the issue. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the government’s basic financial statements.

Legal Debt Margin

Article VII, Section 6(k) of the 1970 Illinois Constitution governs the computation of legal debt margin. “The General Assembly may limit by law the amount and require referendum approval of debt to be incurred by home rule municipalities, payable from ad valorem property tax receipts, only in excess of the following percentages of the assessed value of its taxable property…(2) if its population is more than 25,000 and less than 500,000 an aggregate of one percent:…indebtedness which is outstanding on the effective date (July 1, 1971) of this constitution or which is thereafter approved by referendum…shall not be included in the foregoing percentage amounts.” To date the Illinois General Assembly has set no limits for home rule municipalities. The Village is a home rule municipality.

The Village first utilizes committed, then assigned and then unassigned fund balance when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which all three unrestricted fund balances are available.

Minimum Fund Balance Policy. The Village policy manual states that the General Fund should maintain a minimum fund balance equal to 33% to 50% of budgeted operating expenditures.

Nonspendable Fund Balance. Consists of resources that cannot be spent because they are either: a) not in a spendable form; or b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted Fund Balance. Consists of resources that are restricted to specific purposes, that is, when constraints placed on the use of resources are either: a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 4 – OTHER INFORMATION – Continued CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Litigation The Village is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the Village's attorney, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Village. Grants Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the Village expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial. COMMITMENTS – SALES TAX REBATE AGREEMENT The Village of Thornton has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Homewood for sales tax rebate related to a local company located primarily within the limits of Homewood. It operates a portion of their lumber yard on adjacent property within the Village of Thornton. Under this agreement, the Village of Thornton receives a portion of the sales taxes. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, the Village received a total of $35,000 in sales taxes under this agreement. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN The Village contributes to one defined benefit pension plan, the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF), a defined benefit agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. IMRF issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the plan as a whole, but not by individual employer. That report may be obtained online at www.imrf.org. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions, and employer contributions are governed by Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) and can only be amended by the Illinois General Assembly. Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) Plan Descriptions Plan Administration. All employees hired in positions that meet or exceed the prescribed annual hourly standard must be enrolled in IMRF as participating members. The plan is accounted for on the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Employer and employee contributions are recognized when earned in the year that the contributions are required, benefits and refunds are recognized as an expense and liability when due and payable. Benefits Provided. IMRF has three benefit plans. The vast majority of IMRF members participate in the Regular Plan (RP). The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Personnel (SLEP) plan is for sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and selected police chiefs. Counties could adopt the Elected County Official (ECO) plan for officials elected prior to August 8, 2011 (the ECO plan was closed to new participants after that date).

VILLAGE OF THORNTON, ILLINOIS Notes to the Financial Statements April 30, 2019 NOTE 4 – OTHER INFORMATION – Continued EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN – Continued Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) – Continued Plan Descriptions – Continued Benefits Provided – Continued. IMRF provides two tiers of pension benefits. Employees hired before January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 1 benefits. Tier 1 employees are vested for pension benefits when they have at least eight years of qualifying service credit. Tier 1 employees who retire at age 55 (at reduced benefits) or after age 60 (at full benefits) with eight years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total earnings during any consecutive 48 months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 48. Under Tier 1, the pension is increased by 3% of the original amount on January 1 every year after retirement. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2011, are eligible for Tier 2 benefits. For Tier 2 employees, pension benefits vest after ten years of service. Participating employees who retire at age 62 (at reduced benefits) or after age 67 (at full benefits) with ten years of service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1-2/3% of the final rate of earnings for the first 15 years of service credit, plus 2% for each year of service credit after 15 years to a maximum of 75% of their final rate of earnings. Final rate of earnings is the highest total earnings during any 96 consecutive months within the last 10 years of service, divided by 96. Under Tier 2, the pension is increased on January 1 every year after retirement, upon reaching age 67, by the lesser of:

3% of the original pension amount, or 1/2 of the increase in the Consumer Price Index of the original pension amount.

Plan Membership. As of December 31, 2018, the measurement date, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:

Inactive Plan Members Currently Receiving Benefits 19Inactive Plan Members Entitled to but not yet Receiving Benefits 21Active Plan Members 29

Total 69

Contributions. As set by statute, the Village’s Regular Plan Members are required to contribute 4.5% of their annual covered salary. The statute requires employers to contribute the amount necessary, in addition to member contributions, to finance the retirement coverage of its own employees. For the year-ended April 30, 2019, the Village’s contribution was 7.60% of covered payroll and the Library’s contribution was 7.54% of covered payroll.

Plan Descriptions – Continued Net Pension Liability. The Village’s net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2018. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.

Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation performed, as of December 31, 2018, using the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Actuarial Cost Method Entry AgeNormal

Asset Valuation Method Market

Actuarial AssumptionsInterest Rate 7.25%

Salary Increases 3.39% - 14.25%

Cost of Living Adjustments 2.50%

Inflation 2.50%

For non-disabled retirees, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015). The IMRF specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Blue Collar Health Annuitant Mortality Table with adjustments to match current IMRF experience. For disabled retirees, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015). The IMRF specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Disabled Retirees Mortality Table applying the same adjustment that were applied for non-disabled lives. For active members, an IMRF specific mortality table was used with fully generational projection scale MP-2017 (base year 2015). The IMRF specific rates were developed from the RP-2014 Employee Mortality Table with adjustments to match current IMRF experience. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense, and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return to the target asset allocation percentage and adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.25% and 7.50% in the prior valuation. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that Village contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between the actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the Fund’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all project future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all period of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Discount Rate Sensitivity The following is a sensitivity analysis of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate. The table below presents the pension liability of the Village calculated using the discount rate as well as what the Village’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point lower or one percentage point higher than the current rate:
