| MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
Fee Revenue
The District collects various fees in line with the services provided to supplement and diversify revenue
sources. These fees include ambulance and CPR fees, builder fees from the Village of Bartlett, fire
inspection and plan review, Knox box and fire reporting, and fire recovery.
Ambulance/ CPR Fees – In FY24, the District entered into an agreement allowing increased payments
for Medicaid transports. This has resulted in the District’s revenues increasing by over $300,000 annually.
Taking a conservative approach, the FY26 Budget is projecting ambulance receipts to total $2.8M, a 14%
increase from the FY25 Budget. This increase in Ambulance Billing is based on the District’s 2025
GEMT (Ground Emergency Medical Transport) Cost Report. These fees are found in the Ambulance
Fund revenue and produce the greatest amount of revenue to the District each year aside from property
taxes.
Fire Recovery – This continues to be a stable source with limited growth. State Statute allows the District
to charge non-residents for certain services. Most of the revenue in this category comes from non-resident
vehicle accidents or hazardous materials spills. Projections are based on a trend analysis.
Other Income – Small revenue sources include builders’ fees, interest income, inspections, pre-plan
reviews, and Knox boxes. In FY24, the District saw a slight increase in builders’ fees due to the
development of the Grass Lands subdivision located at the intersection of West Bartlett Road and Illinois
State Route 59. This has been included in the District’s FY26 budget, though to maintain fiscal
conservatism, the District has decreased the budget by 14% to stabilize the budget following a noted
2196% increase in FY25. Despite this, the District anticipates collecting higher than the projected
$30,000 budgeted FY26 revenue.
