Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Rochelle Police Pension Fund would have lost $1,503,021 in 2018, according to a NW Illinois News analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $10,474,205 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in seven years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $602,065 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $900,956 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 $556,593 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $177,283 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $142,282 – $5,899 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $698,875 in 2018.
