Resident presses La Grange on finance staffing and annual report; manager offers follow-up
Summary
A resident urged the board to prioritize financial transparency and asked about finance department staffing and the village’s annual report; village staff said an accounting manager will start next week and offered to follow up on report filing.
Al Foreman (Seventh Avenue) told trustees he wants stronger financial transparency and asked whether the village has filled the annual report for the fiscal year that ended last April (due Oct. 27) and for an update on finance staffing.
Manager Knight said the village is recruiting for finance positions and that the accounting manager will start the following Monday. Knight encouraged Mr. Foreman to compile his questions and offered to meet or respond by email after the meeting. Foreman said he would follow up and noted upcoming discussions of the property-tax levy; board members indicated levy action will proceed on the typical schedule.
No further timeline or action on the annual report or transparency practices was recorded in the meeting minutes; staff committed to follow up with the resident outside the meeting.
