The 2021 Proposed Budget for the Village of Shorewood is now published and available for the public view. The annual budget document is the policy document that communicates the financial initiatives of the Village for the next year. The budget is prepared each year with the support and hard work from our departments to assure that we are preparing the leanest budget possible without adverse impact to quality service delivery.
Please note the tax levy increase identified in the budget presentation is not a recommended amount by any Village staff or officials. Similar to last year’s budget process, staff presents a status quo budget based on priorities identified by the Village Board during this year’s prioritization process. This budget presentation also gives the Village Board an opportunity to review personnel, services, and equipment and make difficult decisions to adopt a budget that is fiscally responsible but still provides and sustains core services.
