Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Yorkville Police Pension Fund would have lost $91,707 in 2018, according to a Kendall County Times analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $9,091,059 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 100 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $421,976 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $513,683 in expenses, according to the 2019 biennial report detailing the health of each of the state’s pension funds and retirement systems. The difference between the two shows the fund’s annual loss without subsidies.

Taxpayers added $966,211 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $524,120 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $249,421 – $55,821 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $1,215,632 in 2018.
