This calendar is based upon the most current information, court decisions and legislation of which the League has knowledge as of the date of this publication. It supercedes similar information contained in all other League publications.

The Annual Appropriation Ordinance must be passed during the first quarter of the fiscal year. In municipalities over two thousand in population, the corporate authorities shall make available for public inspection the proposed appropriation ordinance not less than ten days prior to the adoption and shall hold at least one public hearing on the proposed ordinance.

Prior to the adoption of the annual appropriation ordinance, the corporate authorities of municipalities over 2,000 in population at least 10 days prior to such adoption shall make such proposed appropriation ordinance or formally prepared appropriation document upon which the annual appropriation ordinance will be based conveniently available to public inspection and shall hold at least one public hearing thereon. Notice of this hearing shall be given publication in one or more newspapers published in the municipality, or if there is none published in the municipality, in a newspaper published in the county and having general circulation in the municipality, at least 10 days prior to the time of the public hearing. Such notice shall state the time and place of the hearing and the place where copies of the proposed appropriation ordinance will be accessible for examination.
