    (60 ILCS 1/80-60)
    Sec.  80-60.  Annual  budget and appropriation ordinance.
The township board shall comply with the  Illinois  Municipal

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 clerk. The township clerk must
make  the  tentative  budget  and   appropriation   ordinance

of the fiscal year before the township board.  Notice of  the
hearing must be given by publication in a newspaper published
in  the  township  at  least  30  days before the time of the

notice of the public hearing may be given by posting  notices
in  5  of  the most public places in the township.  It is the
duty of the township clerk to arrange for the public hearing.
The township board at the public hearing  may  adopt  all  or
part  of the tentative budget and appropriation ordinance, as
the township board deems necessary.
