Sec. 2-30.
Budget Making.
At least 60 days prior to the beginning of each
fiscal year, the assessor for each multi-township assessment district or
township shall prepare and present on forms provided or approved by the
Department an office budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The multi-township or
township board of trustees shall adopt a budget and appropriation ordinance in
accordance with the Illinois Municipal Budget Law.
The multi-township board must, at least 30 days before the
public hearing required by Section 3 of the Illinois Municipal Budget Law,
prepare or cause to be prepared a tentative budget and appropriation ordinance
and file the ordinance with the township clerks of the townships comprising the
multi-township
assessment district. The township clerks must make the tentative budget and
appropriation ordinance available for public inspection for at least 30 days
before final action on the ordinance. The required public hearing must be held
on or before the last day of the first quarter of the fiscal year before the
board. Notice of the hearing must be given by publication in a newspaper
published in
the multi-township assessment district at least 30 days before the time of the
hearing. If there is no newspaper published in the multi-township assessment
district, notice of the public hearing may be given by posting notices in 5 of
the most public places in each township comprising the multi-township
assessment district. It is the duty of the township clerks to arrange for the
public hearing. The board at the public hearing may adopt all or part of the
tentative budget and appropriation ordinance, as the board deems necessary.
The multi-township or township board of trustees shall determine the amount
required and permitted by law to finance the operations of the office of
the multi-township or township assessor. The board of trustees shall certify
that amount in a levy to the county clerk in the manner provided
in Section 2-20. The county clerk shall extend the tax levies,
as provided in this Code, against all taxable property within the jurisdiction.
