As of April 30, the village had $13.8 million in cash and assets of more than $116 million. Its liabilities were about $22 million. The village’s general fund ended the year at $7.1 million. During the same period, the village spent $7.9 million from its general fund.
The village’s real estate tax levy was reduced by 5 percent two years in a row, village Trustee and Finance Committee chairman Dennis Martin said.
