    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.
