The Village’s preliminary FY 2018-2019 Village budget is now available for residents to review on-line.
The budget is the Village’s most important policy document as it sets forth the Village’s spending priorities over the next five years and how those priorities will be funded.
Residents are encouraged to read the “Village Manager’s Message” as it provides an executive summary of the budget document.
The Village Board will review operating expenditures at a budget workshop on Saturday, March 10, 2018 in the lower level conference room of the Village Hall beginning at 8:00 a.m. Residents are invited to attend.
Citizen comments concerning the Village budget are welcome at any time during the process. Feel free to address any correspondence to Village President Tom Livingston at tlivingston@villageoflagrange.com. Comments will be shared with the entire Village Board.
While a public hearing is held prior to budget adoption to provide residents with a final opportunity to comment on the proposed budget document, the Village budget is viewed as a “living document”. Consequently, residents are invited to comment on Village revenues, expenditures or fiscal policies at any time of the year.
The Village budget is tentatively scheduled for adoption at the regularly scheduled Village Board meeting on Monday, April 9, 2018.
