Council to Introduce Budget at Tuesday Meeting

The Borough Council will introduce a budget Tuesday that will by less than $21 per average home assessed at $537,000, according to budget committee chairman Alan Brundage.

The budget will also decrease spending by $428,000.

This is the first year the Borough is working under a 2% cap, imposed by Gov. Chris Christie, on the amount it could increase spending. Because the Borough is under that cap, it can bank about $1 million toward next year's budget, when a $6 million pension payment that was deferred in 2009 comes due.

The Mayor and Council's public meeting is at 7:45 p.m. in Borough Hall. Check the attached agenda for further details.
