    On October 3, 2018, Bryan E. Smith, Executive Director of Township Officials of Illinois, presented an educational overview of the township budget process covering definitions, legal requirements, and procedures. The presentation explained that a budget/appropriation ordinance provides legal authority to spend money and establishes the township's financial plan, with budgets divided into separate funds based on property tax allocations for specific purposes. Key procedural requirements include preparing a tentative budget, making it available for public inspection at least 30 days before final action, publishing newspaper notice, conducting a public hearing, and filing the adopted budget with the county clerk within 30 days, with separate timelines for township and road district budgets.

    The Madison People's Budget is a 2021 initiative by Freedom, Inc. designed to give Madison residents direct input into municipal budget allocation, with particular emphasis on voices from low to no-income Black, Southeast Asian, disabled, queer, trans, and gender non-conforming communities. The project gathered data from over 1,500 Madison residents through surveys and focus groups to identify community budgeting priorities, with the goal of creating a budget that reflects community needs rather than government decisions made with minimal public input. The report frames budgets as moral documents and advocates for resource allocation that addresses systemic disparities including police violence, housing affordability, food insecurity, and economic displacement.

  • Hazleton GSC Home Rule Charter Drafting

    Hazleton, PA
    Other

    Hazleton's Government Study Commission met on November 18, 2025, to initiate a home rule charter drafting process that would shift municipal governance from state code to locally-adopted charter. The commission will address major drafting issues including determining the form of government—whether to retain the current structure, mirror optional plans from state law (executive/council plans A, B, C or council/manager), or create a hybrid form—while balancing fiscal flexibility with fiscal responsibility. Basic charter components under consideration include grants of municipal powers, government organization and structure, legislative and administrative procedures, citizen participation mechanisms, administrative practice mandates (merit personnel systems, capital budgeting, auditing), and general provisions. PEL (Pennsylvania Educator's League or equivalent consulting entity) will guide the drafting process through reviewing the current form, presenting single-issue questions for deliberation, offering guidance, and translating commission decisions into charter sections after straw votes on each item. The charter will follow four style guidelines—clarity, consistency, conciseness, and correctness—with language drawn from applicable state codes where applicable.

  • Budget and Finance Basics Yunji Kim Assistant Professor/Extension Specialist

    Madison, WI
    Other

    This document is an educational presentation on budget and finance basics for town officials, delivered by Yunji Kim of UW-Madison at the 2019 Spring Town Officials Workshop. The presentation covers why budgets matter, budget constraints in Wisconsin, and budget components, with particular focus on Wisconsin's levy limit regulations that have restricted local government property tax increases since 2005 to the percentage change in net new construction or 0% annually. The material explains that towns can exceed the levy limit through specific procedures—towns under 3,000 population via town board resolution and town meeting, and larger towns via town board resolution and referendum—with non-compliance resulting in dollar-for-dollar reductions in state aid, and notes that such overrides remain rare with only 19 approved between 2006 and 2017.
