Creating and approving a feasible budget is one of the most important tasks of an Elected Official. It is also one of the most complex and time consuming tasks. To aide in this endeavor, the League has created a special half day program geared towards Elected Officials to help them in understanding the Municipal Budgeting Process. The day will be broken into four parts that include:

Budget Law Overview-

•   A look at the laws that you must follow to set-up and pass a budget

What is Budgeting and Why is it Important?-

•   The practical application and understanding the purpose of a budget

History of State Aid and Other Issues –

• A look at how State Aid, State Mandates, and other issues impact your Municipal Budget

Planning for the Future- 

• How to utilize a Trend Analysis and create a 5 year Budget Projection, 
• Understanding what a surplus means
