Budget Discussion

Water System Improvements

With no help from increased water rates imposed by the City of Chicago, Flossmoor Finance Director Scott Bordui has identified a $638,269 deficit projected in the fiscal year 2013 budget. The board will discuss the various options available to respond to (and ideally remedy) the situation.
