NOTE:  Please note that the meeting will start at 6 p.m.  It will be followed by a regular Village Board meeting and Public Hearing on the Tentative 2020/2021 Budget at 8 pm.

The meeting will be conducted via Zoom (see information below) and will also be available on the Village Facebook page.

1. Continued Review of 2020-2021 Village Budget.  

The Board will further discuss updates to the Tentative Budget for FY 2020/2021.  They will review changes suggested by the Manager and staff as well as the results of the Board’s input from their most recent work session on April 13.

Currently the proposed 20/20 budget modifications call for a reduction of $404,589 from the original Tentative budget of late March.  This reduction is also $117,454  less than the prior year’s Expenses.  As it stands now, a proposed tax rate increase of 1.99% is proposed.

As part of the work session review of the 2020/2021 budget, the Board will also be reviewing the proposed Capital budget (reduction of $4,605,000)  and the updated Debt Service expense budget (reduction in debt of $495,385.83).  The documents are included in the backup for the agenda available from the Village website.
