Borough Council reluctantly approved advertising the budget and tax increase as presented. It will be the first Borough Tax Increase since 2017. They noted that while the federal and state governments offered pandemic relief funds to individuals and businesses, municipalities did not receive any aid. Due to the size of the Borough's tax base, the ability of the Borough to compensate for lost revenues is limited and the impact on residents is great.
The public is invited to review the budget documents and submit public comments or to give public comment at the December 10th, 2020 Zoom Meeting at 7 PM.
