Event Description

Presented by the IGFOA Chicago-Metro Chapter:
TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL FINANCE DIRECTOR

There is no matter pertaining to the activities and operations of a municipality which does not impact the annual budget.  There is no private business operation that has as many spending restrictions; complex procedures for bidding; steps to approve expenditures; or, numerous reporting requirements as a unit of local government.  Then you add Tax Increment Finance (TIF) districts to the mix and it really gets complicated.  So why then are Finance Directors not requested to participate in all meetings and negotiations?

In this seminar, our guest speaker will focus on which projects/topics the Finance Director should be involved in and why the Finance Director should be involved in those areas.  Also, our speaker will touch on some of the legal aspects relating the Finance Director’s responsibilities, for example bidding process, financial reporting requirements, and many more.  Finally, the speaker will provide a detailed look into TIFs, specifically annual reporting, long term projections/budgeting, economic development planning, public engagement, and dealing with the Elected Officials.
