In recent years, the fiscal year would begin on May 1st and would end the following year on April 30th. In 2017 the Village adopted a measure to bring its fiscal year in line with the calendar year. Making this change resulted, therefore, in an eight-month budget, otherwise known as the 2017B Budget. Starting in 2018, the Village fiscal year will correspond with the calendar year of January 1st through December 31st and will include a budget for twelve consecutive months.
