Sheridan Whiteside (from left, played by Randy Margison), John (Jim Parks), Banjo (Jim Stahl), and Lorraine Sheldon (Meghan L. Lane) rehearse a scene from PM&L Theater’s production of “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” The comedy wraps up its run at the troupe’s theater in downtown Antioch with shows on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and a Sunday show at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $13 for adults and $11 for students and seniors.
The Antioch Village Board recently approved an appropriations ordinance to the tune of $37 million for fiscal year 2015-2016. This ordinance establishes the legal limit of the village’s expenditures from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2016. Village Director of Finance, Assistant Administrator Joy McCarthy explained the ordinance establishes the maximum levels of expenditures that can be made if adequate revenues are available. “We know we won’t raise taxes 31 percent but a much lower amount,” McCarthy explained, “but if our appropriation ordinance level is lower than the levy we receive, we wouldn’t be able to spend the money. This ordinance sets possible spending levels and allows the village to spend what it does receive.” This includes any state or federal grants that the village may receive for various projects. State statutes does permit

three months of the year, based on the appropriation for the preceding year. So fiscal year 2016 is significantly higher than the current budget to accommodate an adequate level of spending authority for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. In 2013, the village expenses were just over $20 million and in 2014 the village spent just over $21 million. In 2015, the budget was just over $20 million and the village spent $18.8 million. The village expects expenses to be nearly $21 million for 2016, with the increase created by added expense of ambulance service.
Village partners with schools on newsletter Village administrator Jim Keim explained to the Village Board recently that the village would no longer put out the usual village newsletter. Keim said July 17 that the village would begin the change by partnering with school districts 34 and 117.
