Municipal Budgeting
September 18, 2024
This annual training explains basic municipal budgeting principles, how to comply with legal requirements, and best practices for preparing the budget for town meeting. This year you’ll also learn about VLCT’s new government finance assistance, which is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture – Rural Development (USDA-RD). Attend this timely webinar and live Q&A as you embark on your budget development process.
1. Legal Parameters of Budgeting, Spending, and Borrowing
Each year, voters must approve the municipality’s budget. This session will cover statutory legal requirements for crafting the town meeting warning, setting the tax rate, and handling a failed budget vote. Attendees will also learn several basic principles for administering the municipal budget.
2. New Government Finance Assistance for VLCT Members
Thanks to grant funding from USDA-RD, VLCT recently added a new Government Finance Specialist to deepen its bench. Meet our newest team member and learn more about the assistance you can access to help you manage your municipality’s money better.
