CAP Adjustments:
Allowable CAP Rate2.50%885,407.45Chapter 89, Public Laws of 1990 places limits on Municipal spending authority. Commonly referred as to the CAP LAW, a growth restriction is imposed based upon an annual inflation limit on most appropriations noting limited exclusions exist (E.G.-Debt Service, Grants, Inter-Gov't Contracts, & Uncollectible Tax Reserve). A set State index rate can be increased to a maximum of 3.5% at the discretion of the Governing Body by ordinance of each respective Municipality.
Allowable Operating Approp. Before additional exceptions36,301,705.62
COLA Ordinance1.00%354,163A review of the enclosed calculation reflects last year CAP as a basis for the 2018 budget period. Taking last years total budget and removing the exceptions, a calculation of 2.5% is computed for the annual inflation adjustment. Consideration is given to Municipalities experiencing significant growth by permitting an adjustment for new construction placed on the tax rolls as shown to the left. An allowance is also permitted for unconsumed CAP adjustments by allowing a 2-year banking of CAP credits for good management.
