Sauk Village 2016/2017 Mid-year Budget Review

Sauk VIllage 2016 Leaf Sweep Program

2016 Leaf Sweep Program

Public Works offers a leaf collection program at no cost to you which will allow you to dispose of your leaves.

The leaf pickup program will begin November 7 through 11, skipping the week of the 14th through 18th, residents can still put leaves out up until November 20. Our final pickup will begin November 21, crews will be out to pick up each section on garbage day.  THEY WILL NOT COME BACK AFTER THIS PASS.

Village Ordinance prohibits parking on the streets between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. during the day of your garbage pickup. 

All leaves must be out for the final pickup no later than November 20th there are no exceptions.   

In order for this program to be successful, we are asking all residents to follow the guidelines that are listed below.

Beginning

1. November 6th, you may start raking leaves over the curb onto the street.  DO NOT LEAVE THEM ON THE PARKWAY. Only leaves that are on the street will be swept and picked up.
2. During these scheduled sweeping/ pick-ups we are asking all residents NOT to park on the streets Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. Vehicles parked on the street greatly reduce the success of the program.
3. After November 30th any leaves must be bagged using the brown yard waste bags with the yard waste stickers. These will be picked up on the day of your garbage pick-up. You must follow these instructions in order to avoid a fine.

We greatly appreciate your continued cooperation and support.  If you have any questions regarding the program please contact the Village Hall at 758-3330.

Labor Contracts:

Staff and I have reached tentative agreements with Sauk Village's Unions. The tentative agreements are being forwarded to Mayor Hanks for review.

Fiscal Outlook for the Remainder of FY  2016/17:
The below are the expected main sources of revenues for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2016/2017.

These revenues may see slight changes as we receive them but staff is confident that in the estimated amounts shown below are accurate. That said; water related revenues remain as the Villages leading source of income. The entire Sauk Village office staff are doing everything possible to defray water account delinquencies. Water revenues are up approximately $300,000 over the same period last year.

Until County, State and Federal revenues rebound our focus must remain solely on assuring that local revenues do not under produce.

Revenues for the remainder of FY 2016/17:
