Pursuant to § 70.65(2), Wis. Stats.,
the Village Clerk-Treasurer shall, in computing the tax roll, insert
only the aggregate amount of state, county, school and local taxes
in a single column in the roll opposite the parcel or tract of land
against which the tax is levied or, in the case of personal property,
in a single column opposite the name of the person against whom the
tax is levied.
The amount of the tax to be levied or certified,
the amounts of the various appropriations, and the purposes thereof
shall not be changed after approval of the budget except upon the
recommendation of the Village President and upon a two-thirds vote
of the entire membership of the Village Board. Notice of such transfer
shall be given by publication within eight days thereafter in a newspaper
of general circulation in the Village.
No money shall be drawn from the treasury of the Village, nor shall any obligation for the expenditure of money be incurred, except in pursuance of the annual appropriation in the adopted budget or when changed as authorized by §
17-4 of this chapter. At the close of each fiscal year any unencumbered balance of an appropriation shall revert to the general fund and shall be subject to reappropriation, but appropriations may be made by the Board, to be paid out of the income of the current year, in furtherance of improvements or other objects or works which will not be completed within such year, and any such appropriation shall continue in force until the purpose for which it was made shall have been accomplished or abandoned.
The calendar year shall be the fiscal year.
The Village Board shall designate the public
depository or depositories within this state within which Village
funds shall be deposited, and when the money is deposited in such
depository in the name of the Village, Village officials and bondsman
shall not be liable for such losses as are defined by state law. The
interest arising therefrom shall be paid into the Village treasury.
Pursuant to state law, designated public depositories shall be required
to pledge United States Treasury notes equal in amount to any uninsured
balance of the Village's deposit.
The Village Clerk-Treasurer may invest any Village
funds not immediately needed pursuant to §§ 66.0603(1m)
and 219.05, Wis. Stats.
The Village Clerk-Treasurer and his designees
are authorized to prepare a statement of real property status form
to be used to provide information often requested for transfers of
real property, such as the amount of outstanding special assessments,
deferred assessments, changes in assessments, amount of taxes, outstanding
water and sewer bills, current water and sewer bills, contemplated
improvements, outstanding citations on building code violations and
similar information. Any such information sought shall be provided
to the person requesting it on said form. Requests for statements
of real property status shall be made to the Village Clerk-Treasurer
a minimum of one business day in advance. A fee as set by the Village
Board shall be charged for compiling this information.
