Ridgewood Mayor’s Corner: Lining things up for April
Friday, April 5, 2013
The Ridgewood News
Welcome to the April edition of the Mayor’s Corner – my monthly column in The Ridgewood News designed to make village government more user-friendly and more accessible to the residents we serve.
Council agenda: The Council will meet three times in April – April 3, 10 and 24. On the agenda will be a wide range of issues: from the 2013 municipal budget, to “smoke-free” parks, to staff salaries and to the creation of a resident-run finance committee.
All of our meetings are open to the public, and we encourage resident input on all issues.
Budget Discussions: We have been drilling down on the budget for the past few months and are making good progress. Our goal is a zero-percent tax increase.
Granted, we may not get there, but one thing is clear: The 2013 municipal budget will be smaller than the 2012 municipal budget. In other words, we are clearly heading in the right direction.
Stay tuned … the budget process will continue throughout the spring.
