A. 2022 Additional Public Safety Pension Funding
Trustee Herman begins by explaining the three options for the annual contribution, stating that the Village
is obligated to fund at 90% of the actuarial amount owed for the current year. One of the options is to fund
at 100%, which is what the Village has historically done. The next option is to pay the legally minimum
required, which is 90%, saving around one million dollars. Lastly, the Village could fund at 100%, and,
taking into account the fact that the Village will have a greater than five million dollar surplus in the
general fund, also make additional payments of one million dollars to each of the pension funds. Trustee
Herman indicates that he is in favor of the additional funding option.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 7 of 11 REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 2022
Trustee Herman makes a motion that the Board adopt the Nyhart 2022 recommended contributions of
$2,097,158 to the Police Pension and $2,316,400 to the Fire Pension and make additional contributions to
meet these amounts, he further moves that in addition to those contributed amounts that the Village Board
adopt an additional payment of $1,000,000 each to the Police and Fire Pension Funds.
Conversation ensues regarding the timeline for making the additional payment and the budgeted pension
payment amounts for 2022 and 2023. It is reiterated that 2022 has a surplus of $5,000,000. The pros and
cons of funding the pension versus the Village keeping and investing the additional monies are weighed.
Trustee Yusuf offers an amendment to the motion calling for funding a combined $4,998,428.00
