Serving with Purpose: A Strong Year for Palatine Township
Every day, our team works to ensure that individuals and families in our community have access to the resources, support, and compassion they need. I am proud of the progress we have made together and the strong foundation we continue to build.
Recently, I was humbled to be named the 2025 Supervisor of the Year by the Illinois Township Association of General Assistance Caseworkers, selected from among 1,431 townships statewide. This is the first acknowledgment of its kind for Palatine Township, and I share it with our dedicated Township Board, staff, and volunteers. Our residents expect professionalism, transparency, fiscal responsibility, and exceptional service and we strive to meet that standard every day.
In Fiscal Year 2025:
- Your Township board kept the levy flat
- Town Fund revenues exceeded budget by 1.4%
- $425,270 Interest income earned from invested Township funds
- Town Fund expenditures were 10.1% under budget
- Awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the first time in Township history
- We distributed over $645,000 in Human Needs Funding to 30 not-for-profit agencies serving Township residents
These results strengthen our ability to support the programs and services that many in our community rely on.
We continue to expand and modernize services in food assistance, general and emergency aid, senior and disability support, transportation, outreach, and access to essential resources. Enhancing digital accessibility has also made it easier for residents to connect with us and get the help they need.
We value relationships and have worked closely with all 8 municipalities, 3 County Commissioners, our legislators in the House and Senate, veteran organizations, senior groups, and community partners. These collaborations ensure consistent, coordinated support for our residents.
The achievements of this past year belong to our united Township Board, our hardworking staff, and our volunteers who serve with heart. Together, we remain focused on transparent, effective, and service-driven local government.
It is a privilege to serve you, and I look forward to continuing our work on behalf of the residents of Palatine Township.
