Ahem Norris President Teichert read the following statement: The Village budget is the primary tool for implementing Board policy. Statements In the past it has reflected policy only for the current year .... lo~ by the range planning has not been included. Projecticn of ~owth and estimates Village of need have been matters left for resolution sometime iu the future. We President can no longer afford to put off the determination of what lies ahead for our Village." "We are in a position somewhat akin to "deficit financing" .... we could be in serious trouble if we do not address ourselves to the problem now." "In spite of Village growth with an ever broadening tax base the increased tax base was negated by reducing the tax levy. Fortunately, sales tax revenue increased at a rate sufficient to make up the loss of real estate tax revenue. This is no longer the case .... not only has sales tax revenue leveled off, it may go down .... either due to competitive factors, financial circumstances, or changes in the State laws." "It is doubtful that our present budgetary needs can be satisfied within our parameters for revenue .... it is a certainty that Duture needs connot." "In order that the needs of our conmunity be met and that we maintain a financi&lly solvent position, it is incumbent for this Board to establish a budgetary policy that will accor~Bodate the futui~e growth of our Village and the attendant expansion of services." "Such an undertaking will require the cooperation of all of us .... and it will take a considerable amount of time. Even though I would not anticipate its completion in time for the appropriation ordinance or the tax levy, it would be possible to have some basic concepts developed by then so that. we could exercise a considered judgment."
