CHAIR'S REPORT / PRESENTATION

Chair Conroy made the following remarks:

I’m going to take a few minutes to make Chair’s remarks in addition to my budget address

because I think we all agree that these unprecedented times call for some comment and clarity.

To be clear, the function of County government is separate and distinct from both state and

federal government. For better or worse, we do not vote on matters of immigration. But each of

us, as elected officials… can stand…and do stand… for decency, safety, due process, and basic

fairness.

At our Judicial and Public Safety Committee last week, we heard many of you speak up against

the fear stoked by masked agents of ICE… infiltrating our communities with their stated mission

to enforce federal immigration policies. In reality, agents, often masked, roaming the streets,

visiting our businesses and yes, even our DuPage jail lobby… waiting to pluck people off the

streets… is not our founding fathers’ vision of “establishing Justice or ensuring domestic

tranquility,” to quote from the preamble of our great constitution.

In fact, what we are seeing today in our communities is exactly that which caused our forefathers

and mothers to flee oppressive regimes and form our democratic nation ruled by the people, for

the people.

What we’ve seen play out in DuPage County, throughout our region… is racist, inhumane and

the least American thing I’ve ever seen.

I know many… if not all of you agree… that everyone in this country deserves due process.

Member Zay lamented the lack of a fair and reasonable federal process that allows a path to

citizenship for people who cross our borders. Member Haider is an immigrant herself… and

feels deeply for the fear our neighbors are experiencing. When Member Martinez reflected on

the terrible days and nights people in her community are enduring, I heard you express outrage

for the terror these masked squads are visiting upon us.

I want to directly address those people who have stood up and protected those targeted in this

racist, horrific hunt on our own residents. I want to thank you for your courage as you raise your

voices in protest. I want to thank DuPage employers who follow the law… but keep a cool

head…and protect workers from ICE raids led by squads with no warrants for entry. And I want

to thank those who ensure safe passage of children to school… and help workers get to and from

their jobs.

County government is close to the ground, close to the people. We see our constituents at the

grocery stores, at sporting events and throughout our day. We usually spend more time talking

about setbacks for sheds… or appropriate fence height… than we do considering federal

immigration rules. But today, we stand for basic human rights that allow our people to live in

peace in their own neighborhoods. I hope you all stand with me as we call for an end to this

alleged “enforcement action.” I ask federal legislators to recommit themselves to the serious,

bipartisan work of constructing a fair and achievable path to citizenship for those who want to be

Americans.

It's easy to bully someone who doesn’t have power. The hard thing is to work with those who

oppose your views… and negotiate solutions for difficult, thorny issues… that will never please

everyone. We do it here every Tuesday. I wish the current administration would take a page

from our book.

We need peace, we need safety… and we stand for those in fear… who ask only for due process,

as they seek a better future for themselves and their children. That is the American way.

5.A. Chair Conroy’s Budget Presentation

Chair Conroy’s Budget Presentation

Good morning,

It’s my pleasure to present the 2026 Fiscal Year Budget Proposal for your consideration.

Every budget, and every budget address, begins with a blank slate. We are open to new ideas

and initiatives as we prepare for the year ahead. But this year’s story is writing itself in an

unprecedented manner. For the first time, we must plan based on threats to the very existence of

federal departments and programs our residents depend on for food, shelter, education, energy

assistance and critical medical services. The programs that survive the threat of cuts will likely

see funding sliced away, leaving gaping holes that will hurt the most vulnerable among us.

Further coloring the picture is the scene in Springfield. This past May, a proposal to provide

funding to our regional transit system threatened to steal $72 million dollars of DuPage tax

revenue right out from under us. This plan would have taken our hard-earned money and given it

to unelected bureaucrats at the transit agencies. Of course, we support adequate, responsible

funding of our transit system. We simply want to ensure that DuPage residents… and our

suburban neighbors… do not disproportionately foot the bill. I am working energetically with

colleagues to arrive at a fair governance solution and one that gives DuPage and the collar

counties a seat at the table. Those engaged in the new governance structure will make decisions

involving hundreds of millions of dollars. We must have a voice, we will have a voice…and I

will always fight to prevent the rubber-stamped, unchecked spending and lack of transparency

that got us to a fiscal cliff in the first place.

So where does that leave us?

I’d say DuPage County remains a beacon of fiscal responsibility and stability. I propose a

balanced budget that keeps a watchful eye on the bottom line and plans to address the desperate

need that WILL arise if federal cuts impact DuPage County’s critical services.

I didn’t get to a balanced budget proposal alone. Allow me just a moment to thank our team of

faithful budgeteers. First, our Finance Chair and Vice-Chair, Paula Deacon Garcia and Cindy

Cronin Cahill spent many hours reviewing budgets, considering options and proposing solutions

as we waded through requests and revenue projections. Our Finance staff, led by CFO Jeff

Martin-oh-vich and Deputy CFO Jennifer Sinn, do the heavy lifting. We thank you and your

team for burning the midnight oil, week after week.

As you have heard me say in my two previous budget addresses, the requests from County

departments and Elected Officials exceeded revenue projections for 2026. This year, requests

came in $34 million dollars over projected revenue. Our budget team also heard, loud and clear,

that this Board wanted to plan based on actual expenditures that occurred throughout the

previous year. Therefore, I directed staff to:

A) As much as possible, analyze ACTUAL expenditure figures from the past years to

determine appropriate funding levels for 2026-line items.

B) Align funding for staffing levels based on a five-year vacancy rate average.

It’s my belief that this critical review will bring the 2026 proposed budget lines much closer to

actual expenditures than in previous years. This approach was taken across all departments and

elected officials’ offices to better align requests with revenue expectations. This includes the

DuPage County Clerk’s Office. The Clerk’s Office, once again, did not engage in dialogue with

the budget team, nor did they provide a presentation to the Board explaining their 2026 request.

Next year, there will be a gubernatorial election. Therefore, as in years past, Members Garcia,

Cahill and I instructed our Finance team to compare actual expenditures from the last

gubernatorial election cycle, which was in 2022. Accounting for increases over time in

personnel, commodities and contractual service costs, we then set the budget for the Election

Division of the Clerk’s office 14% percent higher than the ACTUAL expenditures from four

years ago. We used a similar approach…comparing actual expenditures to determine the budget

for the rest of the Clerk’s operation.

So now you know HOW we developed a spending plan. Let me tell you WHAT our investments

are.

The first area I want to address is public safety. In Fiscal Year 2026, the budgets of the Sheriff’s

Office, State’s Attorney and Public Defender will be higher than their actual expenses and the

budgeted amount for 2025. As we heard from Mr. Berlin, violent crime is down, and we want to

keep it that way. Providing the resources to assure that our streets and neighborhoods are safe is

one of my top priorities.

Last year, we also supported Chief Judge Bonnie Wheaton as she requested a Behavioral Health

Court Navigator to provide mental health support to those seeking and providing services at the

courthouse. That pilot program has proven to be an overwhelming success. Recognizing the

need to address emotional and mental health crises in real time, we support Judge Wheaton’s

plan to provide additional mental health resources, including a new support dog, to help people

who are undergoing perhaps some of the most difficult days of their lives as they testify or

otherwise appear in court.

When we talk about answering the mental health needs of our residents, we anticipate our new

Crisis Recovery Center will positively impact the criminal justice and healthcare systems. We

cut the ribbon on the new Center August 13, and the doors are finally open, treating those

struggling with mental health or addiction crises. You’ve heard me say the CRC will be a

game-changer. It seems the PGA Tour agrees. We were pleased to accept a

$250-thousand-dollar donation from the Tour’s Foundation last week. But more important was

the vote of confidence from such a prestigious national organization. I want to thank Board of

Health President and District One representative Sam Tornatore, who will help us welcome the

PGA Tour to Medinah one year from this week! This was a wonderful way to acknowledge our

work to break down stigma surrounding mental health treatment and provide a new model for

helping those in need.

Let’s take a moment to talk about how we will help those in need throughout the County in 2026.

As I evaluated the devastating social service cuts proposed at the federal level, I knew that we

might not know what cuts would be implemented… or whether Congress would simply approve

a Continuing Resolution funding these federal programs for a finite period. Here’s what we do

know. We can expect further proposals that undermine these important programs throughout the

Trump administration. As DuPage County Chair I am meeting this moment with a bold

proposal of my own. I believe we can be fiscally responsible AND take care of people. We will

use our resources to meet immediate needs and create a stronger social service infrastructure

ensuring programs are delivered in an efficient manner, assuring the highest value for each dollar

we expend.

My 2026 budget calls for the creation of an $18.1 million dollar DuPage Sustainability Initiative

Fund. This large investment will devote both 2026 budgeted dollars and 2025 expected surplus

funds to important initiatives addressing the most basic needs of our residents.

The first area this initiative will address is food insecurity. Everyone agrees that our local food

pantries are straining to keep up with demand that is growing dramatically. Cuts to federal

nutrition programs, including SNAP, will worsen the problem. My FY 2026 budget proposal

dedicates $1 million dollars to supply food to those in need. I propose we add another million

from any available FY 2025 surplus funds to this purpose. That would be an infusion of $2

million dollars for food to support our pantries and other organizations that distribute meals to

those in need. This is added to the $1.1 million still in the ARPA interest fund earmarked for

food. So that is $3.1 million dollars I propose allocating for food purchases. I believe this Board

shares my belief that no child, no individual, no family in DuPage County should go hungry.

We also recognize we must invest in a more efficient food distribution system so that fresh,

healthy food gets to people sooner, and in the best condition possible. You heard from Loaves

and Fishes Executive Director Mike Havala about his plan to vastly increase his warehouse space

to provide more storage, refrigeration and freezer space benefiting our whole county’s food

distribution chain. I propose we allocate $2.5 million dollars from any FY 2025 surplus funds to

invest in the Loaves and Fishes Food Distribution Hub 2.0 project. DuPage residents will directly

benefit as the extra storage will alleviate pressures on both large and small pantries throughout

our County. The Food Insecurity Fund will now grow to $5.6 million dollars… addressing our

immediate needs and improving the food distribution infrastructure, ensuring efficient delivery

of fresh, healthy food… meeting the today’s demands and those for years to come.

The second category in our DuPage Sustainability Initiative retools our approach to affordable

housing. This, too, is a pressing need. I propose a Housing Innovation Fund that wraps together

all the work we’ve already completed to create more attainable housing choices in DuPage,

including some important zoning changes. It will encompass the work our Housing Solutions

Committee will do to create a Land Bank and Community Housing Trust. I also am charging our

staff with developing a Downpayment Assistance program aimed at first time homebuyers so

that people who were raised here… and who are working here… can actually afford to live here!

To support these efforts, I propose injecting a new $5 million dollars from any FY 2025 surplus

funds to support the first-time homebuyer program, which we hope to introduce in the year

ahead. Together with the existing $5 million previously allocated to Housing Solutions… our

2026 Housing Innovation Fund will consist of $10 million dollars for programs and initiatives

we will define and launch through the Housing Solutions Committee. Roll up your sleeves

everyone. It's going to be a busy year!

And finally, you’ve heard me say this phrase before when we consider how decisions at the

federal level will impact our DuPage residents. We don’t know what we don’t know. Every day,

the picture changes in Washington and we must be ready to support our people. I propose a third

category in our DuPage Sutainability Initiative which is called the Community Sustainability

Fund. I propose we add $2.5 million from any expected FY 2025 surplus dollars to fund this part

of the initiative. These dollars will address any immediate challenges resulting from federal

program reductions or changes that DIRECTLY impact our residents.

Creating the DuPage Sustainability Initiative required a delicate balancing act and frankly, could

not have been achieved unless our revenue picture remained as steady and strong as it has been.

But again, federal actions, including the imposition of tariffs, will impact sales tax and

employment numbers in the year ahead. Any further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve may jump

start home sales. It all remains to be seen. As a result, we’ve taken the data into consideration,

along with past performance… and created careful, cautious revenue projections for the year

ahead… planning for a healthy contingency fund to provide a safety net if needed.

To deliver on the initiatives I’ve outlined…and to create conditions in which our residents can

not only survive but thrive…I propose a carefully planned program of both human and capital

investments leveraging expected 2025 surplus funds. Our projections estimate a surplus of at

least $25 million dollars. The program I’ll outline allows us to relieve pressures in the coming

year and lays a strong foundation as we look to meet our County’s needs in the years to come.

These surplus initiatives include:

Allocating $9 million dollars to support Stormwater Management efforts both here on

campus and in the community.

We must provide funding to address repairs needed at the Elmhurst Quarry. I propose we

use $4 million dollars in expected surplus for this purpose. The Quarry is a vital flood

control facility that protects people and property in DuPage.

We need another $5 million to complete Stormwater projects here on campus that will

protect the millions of dollars we’ve already invested in our buildings here and this

investment will safeguard our infrastructure and equipment.

I propose allocating $3 million dollars in any surplus funds to pay for further campus

capital needs administered by Facilities Management.

I also propose allocating $1 million dollars to our reserves, shoring up our rainy-day fund,

should a sudden emergency arise that we must address.

We’ll continue our support of the families living in Hinsdale Lake Terrace. I propose

utilizing $1 million in expected surplus to fund two important programs in 2026. These

include the enormously successful rideshare program, which is making a huge impact on

families living in this development. It will also help to pay for the County’s share of the

sidewalk and street lighting project there. Preliminary engineering will be underway

throughout 2026.

Finally, I propose any additional funds available through a FY 2025 surplus… go to fund

the new Transportation building on campus allowing us to complete the project with

minimal or no debt.

It's always welcome news to discuss an expected budget surplus, but as I said, our budget team

was charged with developing a spending proposal that reflects actual, average expenditure levels

and reduces funding in areas where headcount is not traditionally filled. We’ve pursued savings

to present a realistic, balanced plan. But we are only part of the equation. Let’s not forget the

hard work of those Elected Officials, Department Directors and staff members who constantly

work to seek value, saving the County money wherever they can on behalf of our taxpayers. I’d

like to ask our Senior Staff and County Board staff to stand and be recognized for embodying our

culture of fiscal responsibility as they serve the public. We would be nowhere without them.

Clearly, speaking of our employees, I’ve saved the best for last. We will continue to support our

staff with a high-quality package of benefits that provides health, dental and life insurance, as

well as an Employee Assistance Program, tuition reimbursement and a generous 12-week paid

parental leave program…to name just a few of our many benefits. This year, we learned the cost

of our healthcare benefits will increase by more than 15%. But thanks to significant negotiations

on the part of our benefits team and healthcare consultants… employees will not see double digit

increases. The County is seeking adjustments to some parts of their plans as we maintain our

traditional 80/20 cost share with our workers. To help balance those adjustments, I am proposing

a 3% Cost of Living Adjustment for employees to be paid in December of 2025 when the new

fiscal year begins. We stand firmly behind the people who work each day to serve the residents

of DuPage County.

Therefore, I propose a total balanced budget of $644.7 million dollars with a General Fund

totaling $263.1 million dollars. I propose a tax levy of $71.5 million dollars, seeking only to

include new construction growth… as we have done in past years… to equalize the burden on us

all. My 2026 budget proposal assumes we keep the DuPage County property tax rate flat at just

two percent of the average homeowner’s property tax bill.

We anticipate our strong revenue performance to continue next year, which will help us meet our

obligations. DuPage County government’s General Fund balance remains healthy. Our IMRF

pension obligations are fully funded for FY 2026. We enjoy a Triple A Bond rating from all

three rating agencies. And, we have planned for adequate contingency levels should there be an

urgent need we must meet to maintain the health or safety of our residents.

We cannot control what goes on around us. Threatened federal cuts and pressures to fund

regional transit…have set a challenging table for us. But pull up a chair…. I choose to see these

obstacles as opportunities to think big and answer the need with bold solutions. The plan I’ve

laid out today balances carefully considered revenue projections with streamlined spending. It

provides a thoughtful strategy for investing surplus dollars on initiatives that allow us to improve

and maintain our infrastructure… and provide for the most significant needs in our County.

Most importantly, it sets forth a new plan to feed families… create new housing solutions… and

support our residents… even if critical program reductions become their new reality. My

message bears repeating. We will be fiscally responsible… and we will take care of people.

Thank you for your kind attention this morning. The 2026 budget plan was developed as a team

effort. Now we continue as a team, working together to prioritize and plan for the year ahead.

Please know I am incredibly grateful for your partnership…furthering our shared mission to

make DuPage County a place where all people can grow and thrive in safe, welcoming

communities.

I think it’s the best job in the world. Thank you.
