Some of the anticipated sources of revenues that are going to support the municipal budget are the surplus, municipal revenue, state aid, and local taxes. Referring to the slide, the percent utilized from 2010-2016 is the percent going down each year. In 2010 they used 95% of their surplus and we’re now using 57%. The appropriations are broken down with salary and wages are $18,592,256 and the other expenses are $23,200,452.58 with a grand total of $41,792,708.61. The bulk of the money is being used for public safety and broken down into the departments. The salaries are broken up by public safety, general government and public works. Capital expenditures are the expenditures that create future benefits and incurred when a business spends money to buy fixed assets or to add to the value of an existing fixed asset with a useful life that extends beyond the taxable year. Capital expenses are generally used to acquire or upgrade a physical asset such as equipment, property or land. These are costs that cannot be deducted in the year which they were paid or incurred and must be capitalized over several years. The costs are normally amortized over the life of the assets to 20 years. Capital projects are identified as discussed between the departments and management. Funding sources and priorities are identified based on Council and staff input."

Again, the Board of Education makes up the largest portion of property taxes at 57%, County is 15% and the Fire Districts are at 4%."

            "text": "COUNCILMAN BRESSI - referred to the 89.57% of the residential property tax and in 2010 we adopted a new Master Plan. If that Master Plan gets built out, 75% of what is allowed will reduce that residential burden by 13% to 76% and increasing the non-residential up 11% taking it to 23%. It was adopted in 2010 and with the economy it didn’t take off. Anyone in land use has a right to not comply with the Master Plan and go for a variance through the Zoning Board. On December 30th, the State didn’t approve the Permanent Extension Act and can’t do it now; it’s dead. There have been approvals out there for a lot of commercial properties and these people are allowed through the Permanent Extension Act by the State, to hold these approvals in their pockets and not do anything. With the act coming to a dead end, they’ll either be coming in for extensions and/or putting shovels in the ground or lose their approvals. Since 2006, there is more commercial approvals at the Planning Board than residential. A lot of building is happening now. I hope that if things carry through with the Master Plan and we’ll be looking at it again next year, it will allow for that increase in non-residential and decrease in residential. In doing the Master Plan, we really watched all the environmental concerns. The Master Plan is the blueprint of your town in the future. Looking at land use, long-term is what controls your taxes and this Master Plan does allow for that reduction. If you look on Cooks Bridge Road, you’ll see a Dentist’s Office coming in and County Line Road has a lot of commercial going up and Mitch Leigh is moving forward. Within the next 4-5 years, you’ll see a change in that."
