Budget Process for Fiscal Year 2010

We have begun working on the new Budget that will guide the Village from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. The following dates have been tentatively scheduled for resident input into this process:

Monday, September 14th

Residents and representatives of Village organizations are encouraged to attend this Committee of the Whole Meeting if there are particular projects or priorities they would like the Board to consider for Fiscal Year 2010. If you cannot attend, you may send a written request to the Village.

Month of November

The Mayor and Board of Trustees will establish special meetings during this month and will discuss a draft Budget. This draft, which will be available at the Village Hall and the Vernon Area Public Library for your review as of October 16th, will include personnel, programs, and capital expenditures.

Monday, November 9th

The Budget will appear as an item for discussion on the Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda. This will be your opportunity to comment on the document and on discussions by Board members at the previous week’s Budget meetings.

Final Budget consideration and approval is expected to occur on December 14th.

Please watch for future editions of the Lincolnshire NewsLetter or the website for information regarding dates and times of additional meetings.
