Ridgewood Council begins budget hearings

Ridgewood finance and management officials are working toward a second straight year with a zero percent average tax increase, but they indicated this week that individual departments must seek additional spending cuts to realize that goal.

The Village Council held its first municipal budget public work session Wednesday night, and in traditional fashion, several department supervisors presented and explained their wish lists for 2014.

The department budgets have already gone through at least one round of scrutiny by municipal officials.

Supervisors and other department heads filed their 2014 budgets with the acting village manager and chief finance officer late last year for an initial review and a first set of cuts and recommendations.

Members of the Ridgewood Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) were also a part of that process, according to Heather Mailander, the acting village manager.
