Burr Ridge adopts fiscal 2027 budget, board votes 6–0

Burr Ridge — The mayor and board of trustees voted unanimously April 13 to adopt the village’s fiscal year 2027 budget, a municipal ordinance that takes effect May 1, 2026, and runs through April 30, 2027. The board closed a noticed public hearing and then approved the ordinance by roll call, 6–0.

Evan, a village staff member who presented the item, said this was “the final action in the budget process,” and that the budget document attached to the ordinance in trustees’ packets must be approved without further amendments tonight and will thereafter be certified with DuPage and Cook counties. "The copy is attached to the ordinance in your packet tonight. Cannot accept any further changes tonight," Evan said.

The ordinance covers all corporate purposes of the village and was accompanied by an exhibit containing detailed expenditures. A trustee noted that Burr Ridge’s share of a typical resident’s property tax bill is about 1.5 percent and that the levy supports police protection, roadway maintenance, snow plowing, water services and other municipal operations.

The consent agenda earlier in the meeting also included vendor payments and payroll totaling $572,639.39 for the fiscal year 2026 period in the packet; those items were approved as part of the omnibus consent vote before the budget ordinance was considered. Trustees thanked staff for preparing readable budget materials that, they said, made review and questions straightforward.

Next steps: staff will certify the adopted budget with the applicable counties and implement the spending plan. No additional amendments were accepted during the meeting.
