Our dashboard has a completed an analysis on all but one municipality on our dashboard – Mountainside. It’s not for lack of trying. Mountainside is set to introduce its budget tonight, and while they’re still within normal time frames, the lack of detail at this point is surprising.
The typical set you would expect on an agenda holding Budget introduction is missing…
- Total General Appropriations
- Tax levy
- CAP breakdown
- Revenue composition
The only real number is a cap bank ordinance on the agenda for tonights meeting for $174,485 – which buys them flexibility in future years.We attempted to OPRA the budget earlier in the month thinking the Work session in March might have produced something usable but nada.
