Creative Budgeting Ideas is a series of topics that will give you a multitude of information and knowledge on how to save money for your municipality. This exciting assortment of presentations will begin by giving you the facts and figures on the state of Wisconsin’s economy. This will set the stage for the rest of the day and the final wrap up discussion of how other communities are managing their short falls. The agenda for the day is:

12:30-1:45: Managing Impact Fees: Christy Cramer, Senior Economic Consultant for MunicipalEconomics & Planning,will lead a discussion on how impact fees offer a significant source of revenue for capital projects, but recent changes to Wisconsin impact fee law make careful management more important than ever.
