11.9.2026 - Village of Orland Park - FY27 Budget Workshop

The Village of Orland Park, Illinois, held a FY27 budget workshop on November 10, 2026 (the meeting title is dated November 9). The proposed budget totals about $270 million across village funds, including $109 million in proposed capital appropriations; the presentation also cited a $64.25 million capital improvement program. The proposal keeps the village property-tax levy flat, introduces no new village taxes, projects general-fund reserves at 42.82% of expenditures, and continues an initiative to reduce planned debt exposure. Trustees discussed the proposed 15 full-time positions and emphasized that added staffing and technology investments should produce measurable service and productivity improvements. Final budget adoption was scheduled for December 21; no budget adoption or contract award occurred at this workshop.

Capital and procurement discussions included about $17 million in roadway and transportation projects, a roughly $23 million 143rd Street project supported by about $20 million in outside commitments, and proposed water and sewer capital work. The Parks and Recreation Department said it was preparing a bid for 12 lighted pickleball courts and reviewing RFPs for a Centennial Park splash pad; it also proposed $500,000 for athletic-field improvements. Emergency Management said it had shifted from renting to purchasing vehicle barriers. Other items included planned IT infrastructure and cloud transitions, evaluation of mobile-friendly recreation software, and facility assessments and planning studies. Trustees discussed pursuing state and federal funding and developing a future cost-recovery policy for recreation services. The only clear vote recorded was to adjourn.
