The biggest number the Village Council must deal with during budget season is the ever-increasing costs of insurance benefits, officials announced at a Monday budget meeting at Village Hall.
The 2010 increase for insurance costs reached $750,000; this year it has increased 12 percent, or $701,000, said village Chief Financial Officer Steve Sanzari.
“The village health plan is very rich in benefits, and based on the quotes that were arrived at, we’re going to stay with the New Jersey State Health Benefits Plan,” Sanzari said.
