INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Village President and
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Plainfield, Illinois
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States , the financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the Village of Plainfield, Illinois (the Village), as of and for the year ended
April 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
Village’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated October 4, 2021.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Village’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose o f expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the Village’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited pur pose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,
material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
- 1 -6
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Village’s financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncomplianc e with which could have a direct and
material effect on the financial statement s. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to
be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of in ternal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Village’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH
MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE AND ON THE REPORT ON SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES
OF FEDERAL AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Honorable Village President and
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Plainfield, Illinois
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the Village of Plainfield, Illinois’ (the Village) compliance with the types of
compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and
material effect on each of the Village’s major federal programs for the year ended April 30, 2021.
The Village’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of
the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and
conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Village’s major federal
programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We
conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit
requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance)
Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and mate rial effect on a major federal program occurred.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Village’s compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
- 3 -8
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the
Village’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the Village of complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major
federal programs for the year ended April 30, 2021.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Village is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In
planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Village’s internal control
over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on
each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropr iate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal
program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the
Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opi nion on the effectiveness of
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Village’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control
over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on
a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control
over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal
control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did
not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of
our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the
requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Award s Required by the Uniform
Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village, as of
and for the year ended April 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon
dated October 4, 2021, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our
audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures
of federal awards is presented for purposes of addition al analysis as required by the Uniform
Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The 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 directl y
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 o f America. In our opinion, the
schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements as a whole.

The Village operates under the Trustee/Administrator form of government by Village ordinance. Policymaking and
legislative authority are vested with the Village Board which consists of a Village President and six Trustees
elected at large on a nonpartisan basis. The Village President is elected to a four-year term. The Board members
are elected to four-year staggered terms, with three Board members elected every two years. The Administrator
is responsible for the daily affairs of the organization and for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the
Village Board.
The Village is served by approximately 150 FTE employees, providing public/municipal/ enterprise services,
including: police protection, community development, building and zoning services, public works operations, road
& bridge maintenance, potable water distribution services, sanitary sewer services, and storm water services.
The Village residents are also provided a variety of services, at the local level, by three school districts, two park
districts, four townships, two fire protection districts, and two library districts.
The annual budget serves as the spending authority for the Village. Budgetary control is maintained at the fund
level for all budgeted funds. An annual budget is prepared for the General Fund, Water/Sewer & Expansion Fund,
Capital Fund, and other miscellaneous funds. The budget process begins in the fall with an update to the Village’s
long-term financial forecast and capital project demands. The annual budget must be adopted by the Village
Board before the start of the fiscal year which begins on May 1st.
Economic Condition and Outlook
Local Economy
The Village remained stable in its economic indicators last year, especially in retail sales. Overall, retail sales
increased 17.9% in comparison to the previous fiscal year; while state income and use tax improved by 5.8% and
26.8% respectively. Housing development also showed improvement in 2021. During the fiscal year, 307 single
family building permits were issued for new construction within the Village. During fiscal year 2020, 220 single
family building permits were issued and 169 were issued in 2019. Building permit revenues represented 4.7% of
the General Fund revenue for fiscal year 2021 compared to 4.2% in fiscal year 2020.
The Village’s Fund Balance Policy, which is reviewed on an annual basis, includes the ability to transfer unassigned
General Fund balance in excess of 40% of the total General Fund annual expenditures to the Village’s Capital
Fund. Fiscal year 2021 reflected a $3,121,257 transfer from the Village’s General Fund to the Capital Fund,
resulting in an ending fund balance of just over $19.1 million. This key financial policy will continue to help the
Village position itself for future capital infrastructure needs.
Debt ratings indicate the confidence of the rating agency in the Village’s continued financial operati ons and
abilities to meet its ongoing obligations. Standard & Poor’s rating for the Village's debt is AA+. S&P notes factors
such as budgetary flexibility, management, and good financial policies as reasons for the strong rating.
26
- vi -
Moody’s also issued a strong bond rating for the Village’s debt at Aa1. Moody’s states that the bond rating
“reflects the Village’s healthy financial operations and ample reserves supported by strong management and long-
term fiscal planning.”
Economic Development, Infrastructure, & Transportation Highlights
The Village is extremely fortunate to see economic development and infrastructure improvements continue
throughout the pandemic. Here are a few of the year’s highlights:
• Costco Wholesale opened in November of 2020 as the anchor of the Boulevard Place development. It is
one of the largest retail commercial projects built in over a decade in the Village. The store opened to
one of the company’s best Midwest openings ever and has surpassed initial sales projections that are
closer to “year 5” of the initial projections.
• The Village’s award-winning public-private partnership project, the P3 project with Northern Builders Inc.,
began to take shape with two major development projects. The first is a partnership with Pace Suburban
Bus to construct a 250,000 square foot storage and maintenance facility that will allow Pace to eventually
expand its services in the region and commuting options to Downtown Chicago. This facility is currently
under construction and is expected to be completed during the winter. This project also brought over $2
million in adjacent infrastructure improvement. The second project under construction is a new 65,000
square foot facility for Perlow Steel which is relocating their operations to Plainfield. Overall, these
projects will bring nearly 150 new employees to the Village. The Village Board also approved an
agreement with Northern Builders whereby they will construct a new facility for the Plainfield Emergency
Management Agency (PEMA).
• Diageo North America, a global leader in beverage alcohol and Plainfield’s leading private employer, is
expanding its footprint in the Village again with a new $80 million facility featuring two high-speed
canning lines capable of producing 25 million cases of Ready-to-Drink (RTD) products per year. The facility
will sit on a 225,000-square-foot property, employ 50 full-time workers, and include a 500 cans-per-
minute (CPM) line and a 1200 CPM line. It is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2021. With this
new investment, the Village estimates that Diageo has invested over $500 million in the last 50 years into
operations in Plainfield.
• The Village continued to see significant residential growth with ongoing construction throughout the fiscal
year at the Northpointe, Springbank, Chatham Square, and Creekside Crossing subdivisions. Additionally,
construction continued on major multi-family projects like Sixteen30 and Legacy Apartments at Grande
Park.
• The final stage of the multi-year Village Green project was completed which included the full
reconstruction of the roadway and related right-of-way assets. Sidewalks were reconstructed to a
standardized 5’ width, ADA curb ramps installed, and decorative street light installation were completed
throughout the project limits.

Awards and Acknowledgements
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 Plainfield for its Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report for the fiscal year that ended April 30, 2020. This was the seventh year the Village submitted and
received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the Village must publish an
easily readable and efficiently organized Annual Report. The report must also satisfy both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of only one year. We believe that our current Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are
submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
This report would not been possible without the dedicated support and involvement of the Village Department
Heads and Staff. The entire Management Services Staff is extended a special appreciation for all of their
assistance in the completion of the annual audit and preparation of this report. We would also like to thank the
Village President and Board of Trustees for their support in maintaining the highest standards of professionalism
in the management of the Village’s finances.
Respectfully submitted,
Traci Pleckham
Interim Village Administrator
Management Services Director

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Honorable President
Members of the Board of Trustees
Village of Plainfield, Illinois
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village
of Plainfield, Illinois (the Village) as of and for the year ended April 30, 2021 and the related notes to
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 maint enance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of the 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 and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States . Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements are free from
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 polic ies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
- 1 -30
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, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Plainfield, Illinois, as of April 30,
2021 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 and the required supplementary information 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 m anagement 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 sta tements. 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’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining
and individual fund financial statements and 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 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. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additiona l 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
schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.
- 2 -31
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.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 4,
2021, on our consideration of the Village’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests
of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of intern al control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the Village’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

VILLAGE OF PLAINFIELD, ILLINOIS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
APRIL 30, 2021
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The Village of Plainfield’s (the "Village") Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to provide an overview
of the Village’s financial position and activity at and for the year ended April 30, 2021. Since the MD&A is designed to focus
on the Village’s current year activities, changes in the Village’s financial position, and to identify any material deviations
from approved budget and financial plans, the information contained within this MD&A should be considered as a part of a
greater whole. Readers of this report should read and evaluate all sections of this report, including the Notes to the Financial
Statements and the Statistical Section that is provided in addition to the MD&A, in order to form an opinion on the financial
position and activities of the Village.
Financial Highlights
• The Village’s total net position as of April 30, 2021 equaled $329,747,496, an increase of $5,964,351 or 1.8% over
the April 30, 2020 net position. Governmental Activities recognized a decrease in net position of $280,262. The
Business-Type activities recognized an increase of $6,244,613 in net position.
• Total revenues (including transfers) of all governmental activities increased by $880,524, or 1.9%. Total expenses
decreased by $90,198 or 0.2% as compared to fiscal year 2020.
• Total revenues of all business-type activity programs increased by $2,554,327, or 11.5%, while the total expenses
increased by $1,422,423, or 8.3% as compared to fiscal year 2020.
• Governmental Funds reported combined ending fund balances of $38,409,299, an increase of $1,962,477 over the
prior fiscal year.
o Total fund balance for the General Fund was $13,272,425, an increase of $922,749 over fiscal year 2020.
This represents 49% of General Fund expenditures. $10,877,698 of the General Fund balance is considered
unassigned. This unassigned fund balance represents 40% of General Fund expenditures.
o Total fund balance for the Capital Projects Fund was $19,106,071, an increase of $344,021 over fiscal year
2020. In March of 2014, the Village Board revised its Financial Policies to include the ability to transfer
unassigned General Fund balance in excess of 40% to the Villag e’s Capital Fund. Consistent with the
Village’s Financial Policies, fiscal year 2021 reflected a $3,121,257 transfer from the Village’s General
Fund to the Capital Fund.
USING THE FINANCIAL SECTION OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT
The Financial Statements' focus is on both the Village as a whole (government-wide) and on the major individual funds. Both
perspectives (government-wide and major fund) allow the user to address relevant questions, broaden a basis for comparison
(year to year or government to government), and enhance the Village's accountability. The Village’s basic financial statements
are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to
the financial statements. This report contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements .
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements are designed to emulate the corporate sector in that all governmental and
business-type activities are consolidated into columns that add to a total for the Primary Government.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the Village’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities,
and deferred inflows of resources with the difference between total assets and deferred outflows of resources and total
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources reported as the net position. The "Unrestricted Net Position" is designed to be
similar to bottom line results for the Village ’s governmental and business-type activities. This statement combines and
consolidates governmental funds' current financial resources (short -term spendable resources) with capital assets and long-
term obligations using the accrual basis of accounting and economic resources measurement focus. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether or not the financial position of the Village is imp roving.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the Village’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal
year. This is intended to summarize and simplify the user's analysis of the cost of various government services and/or subsidy
to various business-type activities.
The Governmental Activities reflect the Village's basic services, including police, highways and streets, planning, building,
and administration. Property taxes, sales taxes, local utility taxes, and shared State income taxes finance the majority of these
activities. The Business-Type Activities reflect private sector-type operations (Water and Sewer Fund), where the fee for
service typically covers all or most of the cost of operation, including depreciation.

MD&A 2
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specif ic
activities or objectives. The Fund Financial Statements allow the demonstration of sources and uses of funds and/or the
related budgeting compliance. Traditional users of governmental financial statements will find the Fund Financial Statements
presentation more familiar. The focus is on major funds, rather than fund types. All of the funds of the Village can be divided
into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds (see pages 10-14) 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 resources available for spending, as well as on balances of resources available for spending 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. The governmental fund’s Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental
funds and governmental activities.
The Village maintains 10 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, the Capital Projects Fund, and the Debt Service Fund which are considered to be major funds. Data from the
other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non -
major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary fund financial statements (see pages 15-19) provide the same type of information as the government-wide
financial statements, only in more detail. Proprietary funds account for services that are generally fully supported by user
fees charged to customers. The Water and Sewer Fund is considered a major fund of the Village and is presented in a separate
column in the Fund Financial Statements. A more detailed analysis of Water and Sewer Fund activities can be found on
pages 94-101 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside Village government (Police Pension
Fund, see pages 20-21). While these funds represent trust responsibilities of the government, these assets are restricted in
purpose and do not represent discretionary assets of the government. Therefore, these assets are not p resented as part of the
Government-Wide Statements.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to obtaining a full understanding of the data provided in the
government-wide and fund financial statements. Notes to the Financial Statements can be found on pages 22-60 of this
report.
Other Information
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementar y
information including the general fund budgetary schedules and data concerning the Village’s progress in funding its
obligation to provide pension and other postemployment benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information
can be found on pages 61-68 of this report.
Other Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents combining and individual fund
financial statements and schedules for each of the Village’s funds, as well as supplemental schedules and historical statistical
data, which are presented on pages 69-134 of this report.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT
Statement of Net Position
Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. For the Village of Plainfield,
assets exceeded liabilities by $323,783,145 as of April 30, 2020 and $329,747,496 for April 30, 2021. In comparison, this
amount reflects an increase of $5,964,351 in total net position. For more detailed information see the Statement of Net
Position (page 6). The following table reflects the condensed Statement of Net Position:
The largest portion of the Village’s total net position (87%) reflects its investment in capital assets (land and improvements,
building, machinery, vehicles, equipment and infrastructure), less any related debt still outstanding. 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.
A small portion of the Village’s total net position (2.6%) represents resources that are subject to restrictions on how they may
be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position of $35,173,056 may be used to meet the Village’s ongoing
obligations. Of this amount, $15,737,960 represents the governmental activities portion and $19,435,096 is available for the
Village’s business-type activities (water and sewer operations).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

(See independent auditor's report)
MD&A 5
Normal Impacts – There are eight basic impacts on revenues and expenses as reflected below:
Revenues:
Economic Condition - can reflect a declining, stable, or growing economic environment and can have an impact on
state income, sales, and utility tax revenue as well as public spending habits for consumers and builders/developers.
Increase/Decrease in Village-Approved Rates - while certain tax rates are set by statute, the Village Board has
authority to impose and increase/decrease rates (water, sewer, impact fees, connection fees, building permit fees, home
rule sales tax, utility tax etc.)
Changing Patterns in Intergovernmental and Grant Revenue (both recurring and nonrecurring) – certain
recurring revenues (State-shared revenues: sales, income, use etc.) may experience changes periodically, while
nonrecurring (or one-time) grants are less predictable and often distort their impact on year-to-year comparisons.
Market Impacts on Investment Income - the Village's investment portfolio is managed using a similar average
maturity to most governments. Market conditions may cause investment income to fluctuate.
Expenses:
Introduction/Modifications of New/Existing Programs - within the functional expense categories (General
Government, Public Safety, and Highways and Streets, etc.), individual programs may be added, modified or deleted
to meet changing community needs.
Changes in Authorized Personnel - changes in service demands may cause the Village Board to increase/decrease
authorized staffing. Staffing costs (salary and related benefits) represent 57% of the Village's General Fund and 16%
of the Water and Sewer Fund operating costs.
Changes in Salary and/or benefits (annual adjustments and merit) - the ability to attract and retain human and
intellectual resources requires the Village to strive to position themselves with competitive salary and benefits in the
marketplace. In addition, reductions or freezes in salary and changes to benefits can also impact overall expenses.
Inflation - while overall inflation appears to be reasonably modest, the Village is a major consumer of certain
commodities such as supplies, fuels, and parts, particularly in years of significant construction activity. Some functions
may experience unusual commodity-specific increases.

Governmental Funds
The focus of the Village’s governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows and balances of
spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Village’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned
fund balance may serve as the useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal
year. At April 30, 2021 the Governmental Funds (as presented on page 11) reported a combined fund balance of $38,409,299
which is an increase from the beginning of the year balance of $36,446,822. Of the $1,962,477 overall fund balance increase,

difference is primarily related to funding received through the Local Coronavirus Urgent Remediation Emergency Support
Program ($1,814,016). Additionally, actual state income and use tax revenues ($1,496,708), sales tax revenues ($923,054),
and building permit revenues ($545,052) were higher than what was budgeted. Total General Fund revenues increased by

ECONOMIC FACTORS
According to the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, “Plainfield is an upscale southwest suburban community that has reached a
key transition point in its history. Formerly a small farming community as late as 1990, it has seen its population skyrocke t
from about 4,500 in 1990 to 20,673 in 2003 to 44,762 in 2020 as numerous family farms were converted into large housing
subdivisions. Thanks to careful planning, the Village’s infrastructure has, to a large degree, been able to keep up with the
growth.”
Although currently growing at a slower pace, the population of the Village of Plainfield has increased rapidly over the past
20 years bringing an influx of new residents and consumers to the Village.
The challenge now before the Village, given the current economic situation, is to be able to position itself to provide a
sustainable community that promotes a quality of life that attracts residents, commercial developments and visitors alike.
Based on information from the Illinois Department of Employment Security, the 2020 average unemployment for the Village
of Plainfield was 8.1%, which favorably compares to Will County’s rate of 9.5%, the State of Illinois rate of 9.5% and the
equal to the national average of 8.1%. As of April 2021, the average unemployment for the Village was 5.3%, which still
favorably compares to Will County’s rate of 7.0% and the State of Illinois rate of 7.1%. The national average unemployment
rate for April 2021 was 5.7%.

Consistent with past budgets, the Village’s 2022 fiscal year budget was developed in a prudent and conservative manner.
Continued cost containments across all departments enabled the Village to approve a balanced 2022 budget, with the main
principle of providing quality services in an efficient and cost-effective manner, while keeping the Village’s property tax rate
stable. As the fiscal year 2022 budget was adopted, the Village continues to be tasked with serving and responding to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The Village continues to manage this ongoing pandemic and is closely monitoring possible revenue
or expense setbacks in order to adjust operations and the budget as needed.
The budget for fiscal year beginning May 1, 2021 totals $83,601,215, a 16% increase from the previous year. Of this increase,
$6,598,000 (57%) is directly related to capital projects, which is funded by grants. The General Fund operating budget totals
$29,384,988 resulting in a 6.5% increase over the previous year. The 2022 operating budget anticipates a stable housing
market and continues to be conservative in revenue projections, reflecting a slight increase in sales tax given recent additional
retailers opening within the Village. The 2022 Capital Fund budget includes over $23 million in projects, including $20.1
million for roadway improvements and maintenance programs. The Village’s Motor Fuel Tax Fund includes an additional
$2 million for the Village’s roadway maintenance program.
State revenues combined (sales, income and use tax) continue to represent the largest portion of the General Fund revenues
at 42%. Sales tax revenue increased by 18% (or $1,036,20) in fiscal year 2021 as compared to fiscal year 2020. Sales tax for
the 2022 fiscal year budget reflects a 3.4% decrease as compared to the fiscal year 2021 actual amount.
Property tax revenues represent approximately 24% of the overall General Fund revenues. Consistent with Village Board
direction, the Village’s tax levy rate has remained unchanged for the past eight years. For the 2020 levy year, the Village of
Plainfield’s property tax rate represents 5.6% of a resident’s overall tax bill. Or, for every dollar paid in property taxes by
Village residents, 5.6 cents is paid to the Village of Plainfield. The Village's composition is approximately 88% residential
with smaller commercial and industrial components. As economic development growth and sustainability is a key
component of the Village’s Strategic Plan, the Village will continue to explore economic development opportunities to
better assist in diversifying the Village’s tax base.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2021

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Village of Plainfield, Illinois (the Village ) have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (hereinafter referred to as generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)),
as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and
financial reporting principles. The more significant of the Village’s accounting policies are
described below.
a. Reporting Entity
The Village was incorporated June 1, 1877. The Village operates under a
President-Board of Trustees form of government and provides the following services
as authorized by its charter: public safety (police), highways and streets, water
distribution, wastewater treatment, public improvements, planning and zoning, and
general administrative services. As required by GAAP, these financial statements
present the Village (the primary government). In evaluating how to define the
reporting entity, management has considered all poten tial component units. The
decision to include a potential component unit in the reporting entity was based upon
the significance of its operational or financial relationship with the primary
government.
The Village’s financial statements include the Police Pension System (the PPS) as a
fiduciary component unit reported as a Pension Trust Fund. The Village’s sworn
police employees participate in the PPS. The PPS functions for the benefit of those
employees and is governed by a five-member pension board. Two members
appointed by the Mayor, the Village Treasurer and two elected police officers
constitute the pension board. The Village and the PPS participants are obligated to
fund all the PPS costs based upon actuarial valuations, including administrative
costs. The State of Illinois is authorized to establish benefit levels and the Village is
authorized to approve the actuarial assumptions used in the determination of the
contribution levels. Accordingly, the PPS is fiscally dependent on the Village.
Separate financial statements are not available for the PPS.
b. Fund Accounting
The Village uses funds to report on its financial position and the changes in financial
position. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid
financial management by segregating tran sactions related to certain Village functions
or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self -balancing set of
accounts.
Funds are classified into the following categories: governmental, proprie tary, and
fiduciary.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
b. Fund Accounting (Continued)
Governmental funds are used to account for all or most of the Village’s general
activities, including the collection and disbursement of restricted or committed
monies (special revenue funds), the funds restricted, committed, or assigned for the
acquisition or construction of major capital assets (capital projects funds), and the
funds restricted, committed, or assigned for the servicing of general long -term debt
(debt service funds). The General Fund is used to account for all activities of the
general government not accounted for in some other fund.
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the
private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to soun d
financial administration.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties,
including other governments. The Village utilizes a pension trust fund, which is used
to account for assets that the Village holds in a fiduciary capacity.
c. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the
statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the
Village. The effect of material interfund act ivity has been eliminated from these
statements, except for interfund services provided and used between functions .
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities,
which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given function, segment, or program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses
are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment . Program
revenues include (1) charges 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 . Taxes and
other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary
funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the
government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and
major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.

The Water and Sewer Fund is used to account for operations that are financed
and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the
intent of the governing body is that costs of providing goods or services to the
general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily
through user charges.
The Village reports a pension trust fund as a fiduciary component unit to account for
the Police Pension Fund.
d. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting as are the proprietary fund
and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues and additions are recorded when
earned and expenses and deductions are recorded when a liability is incurred.
Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied (i.e.,
intended to finance). Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as
all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met . Operating
revenues and expenses are directly attributable to the operation of the proprietary
funds. Non-operating revenue/expenses are incidental to the operations of these
funds.

d. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under
the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible
to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). “Measurable”
means the amount of the transaction can be determ ined and “available” means
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay
liabilities of the current period, generally 60 days except for certain revenues
collected by the State (e.g., sales and tele com taxes) which use a 90-day period.
The Village recognizes property taxes when they become both measurable and
available in the year in which they are intended to finance. Expenditures are recorded
when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term
debt are recorded as expenditures when due.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise fees, licenses,
interest revenue, and charges for services. Personal property replacement taxes owed
to the State at year end on behalf of the Village also are recognized as revenue . Fines
and permits revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not
measurable until received in cash.
In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenues, the
legal and contractual requirements of the numerous individual programs are used as
guidelines. Monies that are virtually unrestricted as to purpose of expenditure, which
are usually revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed complia nce
requirements, are reflected as revenues at the time of receipt or earlier if the
susceptible to accrual criteria is met.
The Village reports unavailable/deferred revenue and unearned revenue on its
financial statements. Unavailable/deferred revenues arise when a potential revenue
does not meet the measurable and available or year intended to finance criteria for
recognition in the current period. Unearned revenues arise when resources are
received by the Village before it has a legal claim to them, a s when grant monies are
received prior to the incurrence of qualifying expenditures . In subsequent periods,
when both revenue recognition criteria are met, or when the Village has a legal claim
to the resources, the deferred inflow for unavailable /deferred revenue or the liability
for unearned revenue is removed from the financial statements and revenue is
recognized.

e. Cash and Investments
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Village’s proprietary funds consider
their equity in pooled cash and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Investments
Investments with a maturity of less than one year when purchased, non-negotiable
certificates of deposit, and money market mutual funds are stated at cost or
amortized cost. Investments with a maturity greater than one year when purchased
and all investments of the pension trust fund are stated at fair value. Fair value is the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Village categorizes the fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by GAAP. 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; and
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
f. Interfund Receivables/Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual
funds for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are
classified as “due to/from other funds” on the financial statements. Long-term
interfund loans are classified as “advances to/from other funds.”
g. Prepaid Items/Expenses
Payments made to vendors for services that wi ll benefit periods beyond the date of
this report are recorded as prepaid items/expenses on the consumption method.
h. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment , infrastructure assets (e.g.,
roads, bridges, stormwater systems), and intangibles (easements and software), are
reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the
government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the Village as
assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 for machinery and equipment,
$20,000 for building and improvements, and $50,000 for infrastructure and an
estimated useful life in excess of one year . All land and land improvements are
capitalized, regardless of cost . Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
acquisition value at the date of donation.

h. Capital Assets (Continued)
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset
or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized .
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. Property, plant, and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line
method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Building and improvements 5-50
Vehicles, equipment, and software 3-20
Infrastructure 15-50
i. Compensated Absences
Vested or accumulated vacation leave that is due to employees who have retired or
been terminated by the end of the year is reported as an expenditure and a fund
liability of the governmental fund that will pay it. Vested or accumulated vacation
leave of proprietary funds and governmental activities is recorded as an expense and
liability of those funds as the benefits accrue to employees.
j. Fund Balance/Net Position
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report nonspendable fund
balance for amounts that are either not in spendable form or legally or contractually
required to be maintained intact. Restrictions of fund balance are reported for
amounts constrained by legal restrictions from outside parties for use for a specific
purpose, or externally imposed by outside entities. Committed fund balance is
constrained by formal actions of the Village Board of Trustees, which is considered
the Village’s highest level of decision-making authority. Formal actions include
resolutions and ordinances (equally binding) approved by the Board of Trustees.
Assigned fund balance represents amounts constrained by the Village’s intent to use
them for a specific purpose. In accordance with the Village’s financial policies, the
authority to assign fund balance has been delegated to the Village’s Director of
Management Services, consistent with the intentions of the Village Board of
Trustees. Any residual fund balance of the General Fund and any deficit balances in
other governmental funds are reported as unassigned.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
j. Fund Balance/Net Position (Continued)
The Village has adopted targeted fund balances for two of its funds. The General
Fund has a targeted unassigned fund balance of at least 25% of the total General
Fund annual expenditures. General Fund unassigned fund balance in excess of 40%
may be transferred to the Capital Impr ovement Fund. The Water and Sewer Fund has
a targeted unrestricted net position of 25% of the total Water and Sewer Fund annual
expenses. If the balances exceed 40%, the overage may be used to offset rate
increases or be transferred to t he Village’s Capital Projects Fund, or a combination
thereof.
The Village’s flow of funds assumption prescribes that the funds with the highest
level of constraint are expended first . If restricted or unrestricted funds are available
for spending, the restricted funds are spent first. Additionally, if different levels of
unrestricted funds are available for spending, the Village considers committed funds
to be expended first followed by assigned and then unassigned funds.
In the government-wide financial statements, restricted net position is legally
restricted by outside parties for a specific purpose . Net investment in capital assets
represents the Village’s investment in the book value of capital assets, less any
outstanding debt that was issued to construct or acquire the capital asset.
k. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary funds in the fund
financial statements, long-term debt, and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable g overnmental activities, or business-type activities
columns, or proprietary fund financial statements. Bond premiums and discounts, as
well as gains and losses on refundings, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premiums or discounts.
Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period . The face amount
of debt issued is reported as an other financing source. Premiums received on debt
issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances
are reported as other financing uses. Bond issuance costs, whether or not withheld
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as expenditures.

l. Interfund Transactions
Interfund service transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures, or
expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for
expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another
fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as
reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
All other interfund transactions, except interfund service transactions and
reimbursements, are reported as transfers.
m. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and
so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until
then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes
report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources . This separate financial
statement element represents an acquisition o f net assets that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that
time.
n. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenditures/expenses during the reporting peri od. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
o. Postponement of Implementation of Certain Authoritative Guidance
In accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 95, Postponement of the
Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance, the Village has delayed the
implementation of GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, to April 30, 2023.

2. DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
The Village maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds ,
except the pension trust fund. Each fund type’s portion of this pool is displayed as “cash
and investments.” In addition, deposits and investments are separately held by several of
the Village’s funds.
Permitted Deposits and Investments - the Village’s investment policy authorizes the
Village to make deposits/invest in insured commercial banks, savings and loan institutions,
obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. agencies, insured credit union shares, money
market mutual funds with portfolios of securities issued or guaranteed by the United States
Government or agreements to repurchase these same obligations, repurchase agreements,
short-term commercial paper rated within the three highest classificati ons by at least two
standard rating services, obligations or the state and local governments, and The Illinois
Funds (a money market fund created by the State of Illinois under the State Treasurer that
maintains a $1 per share value).
The Illinois Public Treasurers’ Investment Pool, known as The Illinois Funds, operates as a
qualified external investment pool in accordance with the criteria established in GASB
Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants, and thus,
reports all investments at amortized cost rather than fair value. The investment in The
Illinois Funds by participants is also reported at amortized cost. The Illinois Funds does not
have any limitations or restrictions on participant withdrawals. The Illinois Treas urer’s
Office issues a separate financial report for The Illinois Funds which may be obtained by
contacting the Administrative Office at Illinois Business Center, 400 West Monroe Street,
Suite 401, Springfield, Illinois 62704.
Illinois Metropolitan Investment Fund (IMET) is a not-for-profit investment trust formed
pursuant to the Illinois Municipal Code and managed by a Board of Trustees elected from
the participating members. IMET is not registered with the SEC as an investment
company. Investments in IMET are valued at IMET’s share price, the price for which the
investment could be sold.
a. Village Deposits and Investments
It is the policy of the Village to invest its funds in a manner which will provide the
highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash
flow demands of the Village and conforming to all state and local statutes governing
the investment of public funds, using the “prudent person” standard for managing the
overall portfolio. The primary objectives of the policy are, in order of priorit y, safety,
liquidity, and yield.

a. Village Deposits and Investments (Continued)
Deposits with Financial Institutions
Custodial credit risk for deposits with financial institutions is the risk that in the
event of bank failure, the Village’s deposits may not be returned to it. The Village’s
investment policy requires bank balances to be secured by some form of collateral,
witnessed by a written agreement, and held at an independent third-party institution
in the name of the municipality.
Investments
The following table presents the investments and maturities of the Village’s
securities that are subject to interest rate risk as of April 30, 2021:
Investment Maturities (in Years)
Investment Type Fair Value

TOTAL $ 10,118,839 $ 2,360,193 $ 7,758,646 $ - $ -
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. In accordance with its investment policy, the Village limits
its exposure to interest rate risk by matching its investments with anticipated cash
flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the Village does not
directly invest in securities maturing more than two years from the date of purchase.
Reserved funds and other funds with longer term investment horizons may be
invested in securities exceeding two years if the maturities of such investments are
made to coincide as nearly as practicabl e with the expected use of the funds.
Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security will not pay its par value upon
maturity. The Village limits its exposure to credit risk by limiting investments to the
types of securities listed above and diversifying the investment portfolio to the best
of its abilities based on the type of funds invested and the cash flow needs of those
funds. The Illinois Funds, IPRIME and IMET are rated AAA. The Village’s
negotiable certificates of deposits are not rated . The municipal bonds are rated A2-
Aa2.

Investments (Continued)
Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to the investment, the Village will not be able to recover the value of its
investments that are in possession of an outside party . To limit its exposure, the
Village’s investment policy requires all security transactions that are exposed to
custodial credit risk to be processed on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis with
the underlying investments held by an independent third party custodian and
evidenced by safekeeping receipts and a written custodial agreement. The Illinois
Funds, IPRIME and IMET are not subject to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of credit risk is the risk that the Village has a high percentage of its
investments invested in one type of investment. The Village’s investment policy
requires diversification of investments to avoid unreasonable risk . The investments
shall be diversified by type of investment, number of institutions invested in , and
length of maturity. In addition, a portion of the Village’s portfolio should
continuously be invested in readily available funds such as Local Government
Investment Pools (LGIPS), money market funds, or overnight repurchase agreements
to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations.
The Village has the following recurring fair value m easurements as of April 30,
2021: The IMET 1 to 3-Year Fund, a mutual fund, is measured based on the net asset
value of the shares in IMET, which is based on the fair value of the underlying
investments in the mutual fund (Level 3 input). The negotiable certificates of deposit
and municipal bonds are valued using a multi-dimensional relational model (Level 2
inputs).
3. RECEIVABLES - PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes for the 2020 levy year attach as an enforceable lien on January 1, 20 20, on
property values assessed as of the same date. Taxes are levied by December 31 of the
subsequent fiscal year by passage of a Tax Levy Ordinance . Tax bills are prepared by the
County and issued on or about May 1, 2021 and are payable in two installments, on or
about June 1, 2021 and September 1, 2021. The County collects such taxes and remit s
them periodically. The allowance for uncollectible taxes has been stated at 1 % to 2% of the
tax levy, to reflect actual collection experience . The 2020 taxes are intended to finance the
2022 fiscal year and are not considered available for current operat ions and are, therefore,
shown as unavailable/deferred revenue. The 2021 tax levy has not been recorded as a
receivable at April 30, 2021, as the tax attached as a lien on property as of January 1, 2021;
however, the tax will not be levied until December 2021 and, accordingly, is not
measurable at April 30, 2021.

f. Asset Retirement Obligation
The Village has recognized an asset retirement obligation (ARO) and related
deferred outflow of resources in connection with its obligation to seal and abandon
various water wells at the end of their estimated useful lives in accordance with
federal, state and/or local requirements. The ARO was measured using actual
historical costs for similar abandonments, adju sted for inflation through the end of
the year. The estimated remaining useful li ves of the water wells range from 20 to 32
years.
g. Refundings
On September 22, 2020, the Village issued $2,790,000 General Obligation

8. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
a. 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 attorneys, the
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of the Village.
b. 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.
9. COMMITMENTS
The Village is a member of the Southwest Agency for Health Management (SWAHM), an
agency comprised of seventeen communities formed to be a single member in an
Intergovernmental Personnel Benefits Cooperative (IPBC) which administers the
personnel benefits according to its members. Premiums are paid monthly to IPBC.
The Village is a member of the Western Will County Communications Center
(WESCOM), an agency comprised of five communities and eight fire protection districts
formed to jointly establish, maintain , and operate a centralized public safety
communication system. The expenses of WESCOM are funded by monthly charges to the

10. DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE
The Village has entered into various agreements with private organizations to encourage
economic development in the Village. These agreements provide for rebating a portion of
state shared sales taxes to the private organizations if certain benchmarks of development
are achieved. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, approximately $376,137 in state
shared sales tax rebates were incurred under these agreements. Future contingent rebates of
approximately $1,515,040 in state shared sales taxes may be rebated if certain criteria are
met in future years.
The Village entered into an agreement in August 2019 with a private organization for the
construction of a new facility in the Village. The agreement provides for rebating a portion
of the state shared sales tax. The company is to receive 50% of any regula r sales tax (1%)
generated by the project. The Village has rebated $456,435 as of April 30, 2021, under this
agreement.
11. TAX ABATEMENTS
The Village rebates local motor fuel taxes to encourage economic development in the
Village. The terms of these r ebate arrangements are specified within written agreements
with the business concerned as allowed under the Illinois Compiled Statute Municipal
Code (65 ILCS 5/8-11-20). Certain rebates may be recaptured if the subject development
ceases to operate as intended for a period of more than six consecutive months. These
agreements are authorized through formal approval by the Village Board of Trustees. The
Village rebated $205,497 of local motor fuel taxes during the year ended April 30, 2021.
Future contingent rebates of approximately $578,006 in motor fuel taxes may be rebated if
certain criteria are met in future years.
12. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
The Village contributes to two defined benefit pension plans: the Illinois Municipal
Retirement Fund (IMRF), an agent multiple -employer public employee retirement system ,
and the Police Pension Plan which is a single -employer pension plan. The benefits, benefit
levels, employee contributions, and employer contributions for both plans are g overned by
Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) and can only be amended by the Illinois General
Assembly. Neither of the pension plans issue separate reports on the pension plans.
However, IMRF does issue a publicly available report that includes financial st atements
and supplementary information for the plan as a whole, but not for individual employers.
That report can be obtained at www.imrf.org or by writing to Illinois Municipal Retirement
Fund, 2211 York Road, Suite 500, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523.
The total pension expense for IMRF and the Police Pension Plan was $585,207 for the year
ended April 30, 2021.

when earned in the year that the contributions are required, benefits and refunds are
recognized as an expense and liability when due and payable.
Plan Membership
At December 31, 2020, membership consisted of:
Inactive employees or their beneficiaries
currently receiving benefits 64
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet
receiving benefits
68

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
members who retire at age 62 (reduced benefits) or after age 67 (full benefits) with
ten years of credited service are entitled to an annual retirement benefit , payable
monthly for life, in an amount equal to 1 2/3% of their final rate of earnings, for each
year of credited service up to 15 years, and 2% for each year thereafter.
IMRF also provides death and disability benefits. These benefit provisions are
established by state statute.
Contributions
Participating members are required to contribute 4.50% of their annual salary to
IMRF. The Village is required to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to fund
IMRF as specified by statute. The employer contribution for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2021, was 10.87% of covered payroll.
Actuarial Assumptions
The Village’s net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2020 and the
total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an
actuarial valuation performed as of the same date using the following actuarial
methods and assumptions.
Actuarial valuation date December 31, 2020
Actuarial cost method Entry-age normal
Assumptions
Price inflation 2.25%
Salary increases 2.85% to 13.75%
Investment rate of return 7.25%

unadjusted) tables, and future mortality improvemen ts projected using scale MP
2020.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.25% at
December 31, 2020. 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 the village contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between
actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those
assumptions, the IMRF’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make
all projected future benefit payments of current plan members . Therefore, the
long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all
periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Police Pension Plan
Plan Administration
Police sworn personnel are covered by the Police Pension Plan (the Plan). Although
this is a single-employer pension plan, the defined benefits and employee and
employer contribution levels are governed by Illinois Compiled Statutes (40 ILCS
5/3-1) and may be amended only by the Illinois legislature. The Village accounts for
the Plan as a pension trust fund.
The Plan is governed by a five-member Board of Trustees. Two members of the
Board of Trustees are appointed by the Village President, one member is elected by
pension beneficiaries, and two members are elected by active police employees.
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, and benefits and refunds
are recognized as an expense and liabilit y when due and payable.
Administrative costs are financed through contributions and investment income.

Benefits Provided
The Plan provides retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. Tier 1
employees (those hired prior to January 1, 2011) attaining the age of 50 or older with
20 or more years of creditable service are entitled to receive an annual retirement
benefit equal to one-half of the salary attached to the rank held on the last day of
service, or for one year prior to the last day, whichever is greater. The annual be nefit
shall be increased by 2.50% of such salary for each additional year of service over 20
years up to 30 years to a maximum of 75% of such salary. Employees with at least
eight years but less than 20 years of creditable service may retire at or after age 60

of 75% of such salary. Employees with at least ten years may retir e at or after age 50
and receive a reduced benefit (i.e., ½% for each month under 55). The monthly
benefit of a Tier 2 police officer shall be increased annually at age 60 on the
January 1st after the police officer retires, or the first anniversary of the pension
starting date, whichever is later. Noncompunding increases occur annually, each
January thereafter. The increase is the lesser of 3% or ½ of the change in the
Consumer Price Index for the preceding calendar year.
Contributions
Employees are required by ILCS to contribute 9.91% of their base salary to the Plan.
If an employee leaves covered employment with less than 20 years of service,
accumulated employee contributions may be refunded without accumulated interest.
The Village is required to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to finance the
Plan and the administrative costs as actuarially determined by an enrolled actuary.
Effective January 1, 2011, the Village has until the year 2040 to fund 90% of the past
service cost for the Plan. However, the Village has elected to fund 100% of the past
service cost on a closed basis by the year 2040. For the year ended April 30, 2021,
the Village’s contribution was 26.20% of covered payroll.
Investment Policy
ILCS limits the Plan’s investments to those allowable by ILCS and require the Plan’s
Board of Trustees to adopt an investment policy which can be amended by a
majority vote of the Board of Trustees. The Plan’s investment policy authorizes it to
make deposits/invest in insured commercial banks, savings and loan institutions,
obligations of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. agencies, insured credit union shares,
money market mutual funds with portfolios of securities issued or guaranteed by the
United States Government or agreements to repurchase these same obligations,
repurchase agreements, short-term commercial paper rated within the three highest
classifications by at least two standard rating services, and The Illinois Funds. The
Plan may also invest in certain non-U.S. obligations, Illinois municipal corporations
tax anticipation warrants, veteran’s loans, obligations of the State of Illinois and its
political subdivisions, and Illinois insurance company general and separate accounts,
mutual funds, and equities.

a. Plan Descriptions (Continued)
Police Pension Plan (Continued)
Investment Policy (Continued)
During the year, there were no changes to the investment policy.
The Plan’s investment policy in accordance with ILCS establishes the following
target allocation across asset classes:
Asset Class
Target
Long-Term
Expected Real
Rate of Return
Large cap domestic equity 35% 5.7%
Small cap domestic equity 11.7% 7.5%
International equity 8.3% 7.0%
Fixed income 45% 1.3%
ILCS limits the Plan’s investments in equities, mutual funds, and variable annuities
to 65%. Securities in any one company should not exceed 5% of the total fund.
The long-term expected real rates of return are net of inflation and investment
expense. Long-term returns for the asset classes are calculated on a geometric mean
basis. Expected returns are developed through a combination of inputs from
Morningstar Analyst Research Center - SBBI Data, Bloomberg and other reliable
industry sources through December 31, 2020. Historical data is utilized to establish
long-term trends in data and relationships across asset classes. Bond yield inputs
were updated to December 31, 2020. International Equity = the MSCI EAFE Index
from December 31, 1969 through December 31, 2020.
Investments with a maturity of less than one year when purchased, non -negotiable
certificates of deposit, and money market mutual funds are stated at cost or
amortized cost. Investments with a maturity greater than one year when purchased
and all investments of the pension trust fund are stated at fair value. Fair value is the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

Investment Valuations
The Plan categorizes the fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by GAAP. 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; and
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The Plan had the following recurring fair value measurements as of April 30, 2021:
The U.S. Treasury obligations and equity mutual funds are valued usi ng daily quoted
prices (Level 1 inputs). The U.S. agency obligations , municipal bonds, negotiable
certificates of deposit, and corporate bonds are valued using evaluated pricing
(Level 2 inputs).
Investment Rate of Return
For the year ended April 30, 2021, the annual money-weighted rate of return on
pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 23.12%. The
money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment
expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
Deposits with Financial Institutions
Custodial credit risk for deposits with financial institutions is the risk that in the
event of bank failure, the Plan’s deposits may not be returned to it. The Plan’s
investment policy does not require pledging of collateral for all bank balances in
excess of federal depository insurance, since flow -through FDIC insurance is
available for the Plan’s deposits with financial institutions.

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. In accordance with its investment policy, the Plan limits its
exposure to interest rate risk through the proper diversifications of maturities and
sectors while maintaining cash flow adequate to meet anticipated disbursements for
at least six months by utilizing short -term money market investments. There are no
constraints on any of the fixed income portfolio’s average maturity. The average
duration of any fixed income portfolio shall not exceed 12 years at any given time
unless deemed otherwise by the Board of Trustees.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security wil l not pay its par value upon
maturity. The Plan limits its exposure to credit risk by primarily investing in U.S.
Treasury or U.S. agency obligations. The Plan’s investment policy does not
specifically address credit risk for corporate bonds and municipal bonds. The U.S.
agency obligations are rated Aaa or are not rated. The municipal bonds are rated A2
to Aaa. The negotiable certificates of deposit and corporate bonds are not rated.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to the investment, the Plan will not be able to recover the value of its
investments that are in possession of an outside party. To limit its exposure, the
Plan’s investment policy requires all security transactions that are exposed to
custodial credit risk to be processed on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis with
the underlying investments held by a third -party custodian. The money market
mutual funds and equity mutual funds are not subject to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk that the Plan has a high percentage of its
investments invested in one type of investment. The Plan’s investment policy limits
the amount of the debt portfolio that can be invested in any one debt security as
follows:
Diversification by Instrument Minimum Target Maximum
Cash equivalents 0% 0% 30%
Fixed income 40% 45% 70%
U.S. stocks 35% 40% 45%
Non-U.S. stocks 0% 15% 20%
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.75%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan
member contributions will be made at the curr ent contribution rate and that the
village contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially
determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the
Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected
future benefit payments of current members. Therefore, the long -term expected rate
of return on pension plan investments of 6.75% was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

13. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
a. Plan Description
In addition to providing the pension benefits described, the Village provides
postemployment health care (OPEB) benefits for retirees and disabled employees
through a single-employer defined benefit plan (the Plan). The benefits, benefit
levels, employee contributions, and any employer contributions are governed by the
Village and can be amended by the Village through its personnel manual and union
contracts. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4
of GASB Statement No. 75. The Plan does not issue a separate report . The activity of
the Plan is reported in the Village’s governmental activities and Water and Sewer
Fund.
b. Benefits Provided
The Village provides OPEB to its retirees and certain disabled employees. To be
eligible for benefits, an employee must qualify for retirement under one of the
Village’s retirement plans or meet COBRA requirements. All retirees contribute
100% of the premium to the Plan to cover the cost of providing the bene fits to the
retirees via the health insurance plan (pay as you go), which results in an implicit
subsidy to the Village. For certain disabled employees who qualify for health
insurance benefits under the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act (PSEBA), the
Village is required to pay 100% of the cost of basic health insurance for the
employee and their dependents for their lifetime . As of April 30, 2021, the Village
had one disabled retiree receiving benefits under this statute.
All health care benefits are provided through the Village’s insured health plan. The
benefit levels are the same as those afforded to active employees. Benefits include
general inpatient and outpatient medical services; mental, nervous, and substance
abuse care; vision care; dental care; and prescriptions. Eligibility in Village
sponsored health care plans is discontinued upon eligibility for federally sponsored
health care benefits.
c. Membership
At April 30, 2021 (most recent data available), membership consisted of:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries c urrently

The Village’s total OPEB liability of $2,095,003 was measured as of April 30, 2021
and was determined by an actuarial valuation as of May 1, 2020.
e. Actuarial Assumptions and Other Inputs
The total OPEB liability at April 30, 2021, as determined by an actuarial valuation as
of May 1, 2020, actuarial valuation, was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement,
unless otherwise specified.
Actuarial cost method Entry-age normal
Actuarial value of assets N/A
Inflation 3.00%
Salary Increases 4.00%
Discount rate 1.83%
Healthcare cost trend rates 1.10% to 10.60%
4.50% Ultimate
Police employees that suffer a catastrophic injury or are killed in the line of duty may
receive 100% village paid lifetime coverage for the employee, their spouse, and each
dependent child under the Public Safety Employee Benefits Act.
The discount rate was based on the index rate for tax -exempt general obligation
municipal bonds rated AA or better at April 30, 2021.
Mortality rates were based on the PubG.H-2010(B) Mortality Table - General
(below-median income) with future mortality improvements using Scale MP -2020.
The actuarial assumptions used in the May 1, 2020, valuation are based on 10%
participation assumed, with 35% electing spouse coverage.

Because of the Village’s small valuation in Kendall County, only Will County information was used in this statement.
Reasonable efforts have been made to determine and report the largest taxpayers and to include all taxable property of those taxpayers listed.Many of the
taxpayers listed, however, may own multiple parcels, and it is possible that some parcels and their valuations have been overlooked.

Memo to: President Argoudelis and Board of Trustees
From: Lonnie Spires, Building Official
Date: October 11, 2021
Subject: Building Code adoption
Every three years the International Code Council (ICC) publishes codes to keep up with changes in
building processes and materials. The Village of Plainfield Building Department routinely requests the
adoption of codes every six years so that residents, contractors and stake holders can become familiar
with the code changes. With this code cycle change, the Building Department presents the 2021 ICC
codes. These amendments include, but are not limited to removing the Village of Plainfield Swimming
Pool ordinance and transition it to the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. This will allow
consistency with national, State and surrounding municipalities. Also, the Village of Plainfield Building
Department is requesting fee changes to the improvement permits. This is to maintain the costs of
permit administration and to keep the costs to homeowners to a minimum.
Purpose
*The development process exists in any jurisdiction primarily for the purpose of ensuring proper land
usage and protecting the life safety and community welfare of that jurisdiction. This is achieved by
regulating construction codes, engineering specifications, zoning ordinances and other development
standards as mandated and adopted by the governing body. A government’s administration of
regulations for site and building construction results not only from centuries worth of experience with
fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, destruction and death, but also from the desire to attain a sustainable
community. More emphasis is being placed on sustainable development to include preservation of
natural resources, conservation of energy and water, material resource conservation and efficiency,
indoor environment quality and comfort, commissioning and confronting the development and
regulations of building codes. The absence of effective properly administered codes and ordinances
regulating the development of building projects may cause deterioration or loss of property and in many
cases damage a community’s welfare and environment.
Reasons for oversight of development include:
To promote life safety and public welfare.
To promote and facilitate local economic growth.
To develop environmentally friendly communities.
To protect community interest.
To develop sustainable communities.
To regulate and maintain the character of the community.
To accommodate ever-changing demographics.
To provide effective mitigation against disasters.

Sec. 2.5-1 - Title.
This chapter shall be known as the building code of the village.
Sec. 2.5-2 - Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the safety, health and public welfare through structural
strength and stability, means of egress, adequate light and ventilation and protection of life and
property from fire and hazards incidental to the design, construction, alteration, removal or demolition
of buildings or structures. This chapter sets forth requirements which are considered reasonable and are

existing or proposed buildings and structures; except as such matters are otherwise provided for in
other ordinances or statutes, or in the rules and regulations authorized for promulgation under the
provisions of this code.
(b) All buildings and structures, and parts and appurtenances thereof, both existing and hereafter
erected or installed shall be so maintained that the occupants and users thereof and others are
reasonably safe from the hazards of fire, explosion, collapse, contagion and spread of infectious disease.
If found by the village not so maintained, necessary corrective work, repair, replacement, or removal
may be ordered.
(c) No building or structure shall be constructed,extended, repaired, removed, or altered in violation of
these provisions, except for repairs as defined in (d) below and except further that the raising, lowering,
or moving of a building or structure as a unit necessitated by a change in legal grade or widening of a
street shall be permitted, provided the building or structure is not otherwise altered or its use or
occupancy changed.
(d) Ordinary repairs to structures may be made without application or notice to the village, but such
repairs shall not include the cutting away of any wall, partition, or portion thereof, the removal or
cutting of any structural beam or bearing support, or the removal or change of any required means of
egress, or rearrangement of parts of a structure affecting the exit requirements; nor shall ordinary
