Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Lake Villa Police Pension Fund would have lost $142,109 in 2018, according to a Lake County Gazette analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $6,404,588 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 46 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $227,536 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $369,645 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 $792,870 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $540,634 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $138,097 – $12,937 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $930,967 in 2018.
