The public hearing represents the conclusion of a six-month long public budget development process. The process began in November 2019 with a pre-budget development workshop that included pension funding and consideration of the preliminary property tax levy, a meeting to discuss and adopt the final 2019 property tax levy in December, a workshop to discuss capital projects in January and a workshop to discuss operating budgets on March 7, 2020.
In addition, copies of the proposed budget document have been made available for public inspection at the Village Hall, the La Grange Public Library and on the Village’s website since February 28th.
