Summary

It is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees of each fire protection district to adopt the annual budget and appropriation ordinance on a timely basis. The Municipal Budget Law specifies that this process must be accomplished. Join us for a back-to-basics refresher for fire protection district officials. This session will give participants a look into the mandatory budget and appropriation process and take them through the process. Learn the steps required from adopting a Tentative Budget Ordinance to publishing and filing the Final Budget and Appropriation Ordinance. Receive tips on mistakes to avoid and shortcuts to make the process easier.

Trustees who have completed the 12-hour ETT program will earn 1 CE hour by participating in this program.
