Windsor board reviews levy worksheet and budget funds ahead of 2025 budget

The Village of Windsor Village Board reviewed preliminary materials for the 2025 budget during its Sept. 30, 2024, meeting, including the Levy Limit Worksheet and the Budget Summary Notice.

The review covered a slate of funds that board members flagged for discussion: General Fund (Fund 001), Special Revenue Fund (Fund 002), Capital Projects Fund (Fund 004), Reserve Replacement Fund (Fund 005), Tax Agency Fund (Fund 008), Impact Fee Fund (Fund 009), Purchase of Development Rights Fund (Fund 010), Accounts Receivable Fund (Fund 013), Water Utility (Fund 410) and Sewer Utility (Fund 420). The minutes state that the board provided review, discussion and direction on those topics but do not record specific appropriation amounts or final votes on budget lines.

Administrator Tina Butteris and Treasurer/Human Resource Benefits Specialist Sindy Schwenn were listed as staff in attendance during the budget workshop materials review. The minutes do not identify which staff member presented each line item or provide dollar figures in the published minutes; the Levy Limit Worksheet and Budget Summary Notice were listed specifically for review.

The board's discussion is recorded as guidance for staff to continue budget preparation; no formal motions regarding final levies or fund appropriations were recorded in the minutes. The board is expected to continue budget deliberations as staff refines figures and prepares formal adoption documents later in the budget cycle.

The meeting also included routine business earlier on the agenda, including approval of the 2023 audit and appointments to the Joint Review Board.
