Vernon Hills
Finance Director Lyons opened a public hearing on the village's proposed fiscal year 2026 budget on March 31, saying the draft budget has been posted on the village website since Feb. 21 and that staff presented details publicly at Committee of the Whole meetings on March 4 and March 18. Lyons said a memo outlining any changes to the draft will be provided to the board before the final approval vote.
The hearing drew no public speakers. After a brief opportunity for comment, a trustee moved to close the public hearing; the board seconded the motion and the hearing was closed. The village board will consider final approval of the FY2026 budget at its April 15 meeting.
Why it matters
The hearing is an official step in the budget process that allows residents a formal opportunity to comment before the board adopts the village's spending plan. Lyons encouraged anyone who could not attend to submit comments to her office before the April 15 vote and noted contact information is posted on the village website.
What's next
Staff will circulate a memo describing any changes to the draft prior to the April 15 meeting, when the board will take a final vote.
