Budgets
The Village of Shorewood operates on an April 1st - March 31 fiscal year. The Budget is developed annually by the Village Administrator and staff and is approved by the Village Board. The Budget represents the Village's operating plan.
The Village presented its annual budget for the fiscal year ending 3/31/11 to the Government Finance Officers Association for consideration for a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and was granted this award. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the budget must be judged to be proficient in several categories, including as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communication device.
The Finance Department believes the current proposed budget for fiscal year ending 3/31/12 continues to meet the required criteria and will be submitting the budget for consideration again for a Distinguished Budget Award from the Government Finance Officers Association.
