ABSENTEE BALLOTS AND VOTING
- Absentee Ballots are available for individuals who will not be able
to attend their regular polling location during an election. It is important to know
that absentee voters must also be registered voters (see registration information below).
The first step to obtaining an absentee ballot is to complete an Application for
Absentee Ballot. This may be done by printing and completing the on-line form, visiting the Village Manager's
Office, or contacting the Village Manager's Office.
Absentee ballots, which are available approximately three weeks prior to the election, are
either mailed to the voter or completed in person at Village Hall. Questions
regarding absentee ballots should be directed to the Village
Clerk/Manager's office.
ANNUAL VILLAGE BUDGET
- The Village Manager is responsible for presenting a recommended annual
budget to the Village Board for their consideration. This proposed budget is reviewed
during a number of budget review sessions held by the Village Board. These review sessions
are open to the public. From those sessions, the Village Manager prepares revisions to the
proposed budget as directed by the Village Board which is presented at a public hearing
(typically held in December of each year). Once public comments are sought, the Village
Board considers approval of the budget for the upcoming year.
