As part of this commitment for the new Millennium, the Palatine Village Council recently established six priority goals for the next 5 years and beyond. This goal includes the continued rise of property values, expanding the tax base, maintaining a stable and predictable tax rate and the continuation of fiscal responsibility and stewardship of the Public Dollar. The Village will expand its personalized approach to policing and fire service by increasing its timely response to emergencies and increasing the visibility of police and fire presence.
Safety includes maintaining safe streets in neighborhoods, homes, and businesses.
This would be accomplished through working with citizens to solve problems. Cost Effective Service Responsive To Citizens Delivering services that citizens want is the basis of this goal. By achieving this goal services will be at the best possible costs, timely, flexible, and courteous, a value in tax dollars and fees, while meeting and exceeding citizens expectations. Developing a focal point includes developing new and creative activities for the entire community. To establish a sense of place, the Village Council is committed to providing opportunities to live downtown and make it accessible from all parts of the Village.
