The following summarizes the 2011 Village Budget as approved by the Village Board on December 7. From the outset, the Village was facing a difficult budget year with extraordinary downward pressures affecting the United States economy. With this in mind, the Budget has been drafted to show the impacts of greatly reduced interest income, increased refuse disposal costs, and compliance with the State Expenditure Restraint Program and levy limits. The goal for the 2011 Budget is to use the minimum amount of fund balance necessary to maintain the existing services our residents expect.

The Budget achieves a 1.37% tax levy increase while using a minimal amount of fund balance. Since the year 2002, the Village’s tax levy has increased on average less than 2%.
