Village Begins Groundwork on 2012 Budget

Morton Grove has started work on its fiscal year 2012 budget, which begins on Jan. 1 and officials say they are on solid ground, as reported by the Morton Grove Champion.

“Revenue exceeded expectations,” Finance Director Ryan Horne told the Champion. “Expenses came under budget, so we had a $91,000 surplus.”

The budget is expected to be approved by village trustees during the Dec. 12 village board meeting.

In previous years, the village has addressed the general fund as well as water and structural improvements. Some of those improvements included street construction, replacing a salt dome and storm water and sewer improvements.
