The Village Board holds the ultimate responsibility for approving or rejecting the Village budget. They review and question individual components of all areas of the budget and request modifications to budget plans during the process. The Village Administrator directly reports to the Village Board and is responsible for preparing and proposing a budget for the Village Board to consider.

Department Heads assist the Village Administrator in collecting information to complete this function. This year, the Village Board, Administrator and Department Heads met in open planning sessions on Saturday mornings to work through the 2008 Village finances. In the PDF below, you'll find a flow chart describing the general structure for developing the Village Budget.
