Schlaver the Village of Mount Prospect involves close co-operation between -- the finance director, the village mana~e~, the president, the t~ustees' committee and ultimately the majority decision on disputed items by the members of the board and president. IT must be a team effort because the budget involves in many of its decisions the majority policy of the board in respect to Village services, personnel and the =ax levy for the following year. Because the village manager is intrusted by ordinance with administra- tive duties of the village, I ask, as was announced at the village · V° board meeting several weeks ago~ that he be in ired to attend all preliminary sessions.of the trustees' committee, along with the finance director whose dutiesin' regard to the budget and appropria- tion are also detailed by ordinance. I respectfully ask that preliminary details be completed.as soon as possible in order that discussions with all trustees can proceed and that the budget.and appropriation ordinance be ready for pas- sage by June T~us~ee Bruhl stated that he considered the ~udget hearings to be an investigation by the Committee into the needs of each and did not think it appropriate that the ~anager should bepresent when the Committee is interviewing the Department Heads. P~esident $chlaver ~eplied that the ordinance mequired Consultation including the Managar at budget hearings.
