Answer Question Comments

20 Yes N.J.A.C. 5:30-3.8(a) requires that the introduced annual municipal budget incorporate a User-Friendly Budget section. Is your municipality providing the public with its introduced User-Friendly Budget at least one week prior to the date of the public hearing on adopting the annual budget?

21 Yes Unless the Director sets forth a later date pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:4-5.1, N.J.S.A. 40A:4-5 requires that calendar year municipalities approve their introduced budgets no later than February 10 (or August 10 for state fiscal year municipalities) and N.J.S.A. 40A:4-10 requires that calendar year municipalities adopt their budgets no later than March 20 (or September 20 for state fiscal year municipalities). Did your municipality introduce and adopt its current year budget no later than the dates provided by law or as extended by the Director in Local Finance Notice 2015-27? This question may only be answered N/A if your municipality is under State Supervision or if the Division instructed the municipality to delay budget adoption.

Health Insurance - HI

23 Yes Is your municipality collecting at least the amount set forth by the Chapter 78 Grid for health benefit contributions (or 1.5% of base salary, whichever is greater) for all officers and employees?

22 No Does your municipality exclude from healthcare coverage part-time elected and appointed officials (less than 35 hours per week)? Only answer "yes" if no part-time elected or appointed officials receive health benefits. If your municipality has part-time elected or appointed officials who elect to take State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) health benefits (or receive a waiver for not doing so) by virtue of serving in their position continuously since May 21, 2010, you must answer "No". If you answered "No", please list in the Comments section the name and title of each elected or appointed official receiving either health benefits or a waiver payment in lieu of health benefits.
