of Garden City to Speak

On Monday, January 25th, we are privileged to have Garden City Auditor James Olivo spend time to discuss with us matters pertaining to the annual budget and pertinent financial obligations of the Village. Although Mr. Olivo is the official Auditor of the Village, he has broad responsibilities as manager of day-to-day finances. These duties include annual budget planning, cash management, bill paying, investing and borrowing Village funds and assisting in Village tax planning and tax assessments. He has been with our Village for many years and is a real pro in the field of municipal finance. His remarks are particularly timely in January as the budget for the 2010/2011 fiscal year is being debated by Village administrators, our Village Trustees and property owners associations.
