Welcome to UW-Extension's
Local Government Center

UW-Extension's Local Government Center helps educate members of the public in Wisconsin, in particular locally elected or appointed officials and those who aspire to hold office, about local government structures, laws, and procedures in the State of Wisconsin. Whether you are a high school student writing a report, a resident contemplating running for your town board, an official looking up procedures, or a UW-Extension educator developing a presentation, we hope you will find what you need here.

Since its inception in 1997, the Local Government Center has partnered with county UW-Extension offices, the Wisconsin Towns Association, the Wisconsin Counties Association, and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities, in providing education and information to Wisconsin local governments.

Now in its second edition since first written in 2008, over 250 copies of this document have been shared at statewide conferences, presentations to county boards, etc. To find the document, go the Content Area titled "Finance and Budgeting" and then click on the link to the "Financial Management Series." Here you will find the manual, its appendices and a PowerPoint presentation that explains some of the concepts outlined in the manual. This should make the manual readily available to anyone needing a copy or wanting to reference the text.
