Charged with managing the Village's budget responsibly, the Department carries out a wide range of additional tasks as well. It handles all municipal purchasing and bill paying, payroll for Village and Glenview Library employees, coordination of the annual budget process, audits, financial reporting, management of tax revenues and pension funds, cash and debt management, liability claims, and risk management. It also serves as the general switchboard for the Village, accepting payment for municipal bills (for example, water and sewer), voter registration and absentee voting, and maintaining the waiting list for parking permits at the Metra parking lots.
