# City of Kankakee - Budget Committee Livestream

The City of Kankakee Budget Committee reviewed October financial statements. Revenues were reported at about 64.5% of the annual budget and expenditures at 51.6%, with no significant concerns identified. The committee discussed the property-tax levy timeline: final figures are expected by December 1 ahead of City Council’s December 7 meeting. Rate-setting EAV was reported as 6.39% above the prior year, an increase of about $19.5 million; no levy decision was made. The city also reported that auditors would begin onsite work, with no audit-related spending decision discussed.

A council member raised replenishing the city’s residential camera and lighting program after its funds were exhausted. Staff said the council had expressed a desire to proceed with $10,000 for the program and was asked to implement it, while the funding source or budget line item remains to be identified; no vote on the allocation occurred at this meeting. The discussion also mentioned pursuing another grant through Commonwealth Edison and a local plumbing and heating business, but details and amounts were not yet available. The only recorded vote was to adjourn.
