A budget of $66.8 million for 2024 was approved by the Lake County Forest Preserves Board of Commissioners.
A budget of $66.8 million for 2024 was approved by the Lake County Forest Preserves Board of Commissioners last week. About 59%, or $39,161,800, of the budget will be used for operating expenses. Another 33% is for debt service payments, and the last 8% will be used for capital expenditures. The anticipated tax levy to be collected in 2024 is about $51 million, which is up about 2.8% from last year, or about $1,376,243 — but is still $9.4 million below the total levy in 2009.
Over the past three years, the percentage of the county tax levy to the Forest Preserves has decreased. In 2020, the agency received 2%, and in 2021 it went down to 1.94%, according to Kovach. “In a pie chart of who gets the money, we’re getting less of it as compared to the school districts, the fire protection districts, the cities, the villages, the county, everybody else,” Kovach said. Due to a reduction in capital projects, the 2024 budget represents a decrease of $23,663,504, or 26.
