Township Committee Reduces Fire Tax
|
|
|
|
The Township Committee reduced the amount of property taxes in the 2010 Fire District Budget following a public hearing at its' March 3rd meeting. The voters had rejected a proposed one-half cent increase on the Fire tax rate amounting to $62,647.
The Township Committee reduced the proposed increase of $62,647 to $57,647, a decrease of $5,000. The new fire tax rate will be slightly less than one-half cent per $100 of assessed valuation. Township Committeeman Eric Sorchik, liaison to Public Safety Services, met with representatives of the Fire Commission to reach a mutual agreement for both the amount of fire taxes to be reduced and the respective budget line items.
