The budget process begins each year after the completion of the prior year’s financial statement audit, typically March or April. The Village Administrator provides general guidelines to department heads to serve as parameters for compiling their operating budget requests, which typically call for a 0% increase outside of any planned projects in the upcoming year. In June the Village Administrator compiles worksheets to be used for each department’s budget requests. The prior three years actual, current year budget and year to date actual information is pre-loaded into the budget worksheets. Estimated salary and benefit amounts are also provided to departments based on the currently known employees and positions. In early August, the Village Administrator then receives and consolidates the budget requests. The Village Administrator meets with each department to review the budget requests. The Village Administrator presents the recommended budget to the Village Board in October.
In October, the Village Board holds series of meetings to discuss the proposed budget. These meetings are open to the public. The process includes meeting with department heads and closely reviewing the requests submitted for each department.
Following the budget workshops the Village publishes a summary budget for public inspection and holds a public hearing. The budget is then finalized and presented for adoption by the Village Board. The budget is adopted at the total fund level for all funds, excluding the General fund which is adopted at the department level. A full calendar summarizing the budget process can be found on the next page, followed by the budget adoption instrument. Following the adoption of the budget, property tax bills are mailed in early December.
