Hanover Park Requests Public Input
For Fiscal Year 2011 Budget Development
As part of the development of the Village of Hanover Park’s upcoming Fiscal Year 2011 budget, a public input meeting is scheduled Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 6:00 PM in the Board Room of the Village Hall, 2121 W. Lake Street, Hanover Park.
The first step in the Village budget process is to solicit public input. With this meeting, residents have an opportunity to appear before Elected Officials and provide comment about budget issues. Topics could include public safety services, municipal utilities, public works projects or financial resources necessary to fund the budget.
The meeting format is similar to the Village Board meeting Town Hall session in which residents can appear directly before Elected Officials. Their input will be recorded so suggestions can be listed and discussed subsequently. However, debate or immediate proposal response is not planned at this meeting. The meeting’s purpose is to provide an open forum for public commentary.
A second Fiscal Year 2011 public budget meeting is scheduled Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 6:00 PM, one week later. At this meeting, Elected Officials will discuss previously submitted public input comments and provide information to staff on their recommended budget priorities.
The third and final preliminary budget meeting is scheduled Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 6:00 PM. At this meeting, village departments will present information, ideas and recommendations to the Village Board, based on the previous meetings, as well as staff research.
The Fiscal Year 2011 budget allocates expenditures and financial resources necessary to provide Village services for the period May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011
