After transitional phase in 2011, department ready to 'enhance and improve' this year.
It was the Board of Health’s turn to discuss its budget requests and goals for 2012 at Saturday’s public budget hearing at the Hartley Dodge Memorial Municipal Building as it looks forward to its first full year with Health Officer James Norgalis at the helm. “2011 was a period of fixing and change, and what I would like to call a pushing of the reset button,” Board of Health President John Hoover said. “I got more deeply involved than I would normally like to as the president of the board. The goal of 2012 to enhance and improve what we’re doing.” Hoover was hopeful that the process started on Saturday, as he and Norgalis informed the governing body and those in attendance of the board’s current mission. “One of the important things, I …

Library faces possible layoffs if utility bills are not covered by municipality.
The Madison Public Library could be bracing itself for more budgetary constraints in 2012, and the issue is largely dependent upon whether the borough will provide utility services, such as electricity, to the building. “Dealing with this from our budgetary standpoint, the big issue, the elephant in the room, is what are we going to do with the electric and utility charge,” Thomas Bintinger, president of the Madison Public Library Board of Trustees, said during Saturday morning's budget hearing at the Hartley Dodge municipal building. Bintinger estimated that, with assistance in paying for electricity from the borough, the library ended up with a $15,000 surplus in 2008. Since then, the library has been forced to pay more into its own …

Madison considers revising shared services agreement.
The Borough of Madison’s Land Use Division discussed during Saturday morning’s public budget hearing at the Hartley Dodge municipal building its budget requests while stating its goals after a successful 2011. Chief among those goals for the Land Use Division is to continue to generate revenue for the borough. “Revenue is extremely important to bring into the borough,” Councilman Don Links said. “I’ve asked [Borough Engineer Bob Vogel] and met with Bob last week to also do a presentation today to tell us a little bit about 2011, as well as to give a forward view of 2012.” A major part of the Land Use Division’s success last year was the Department of Building Construction’s ability to process land use permits. Between Madison and Chatham, …

Planners eye savings, revenue opportunities.
As they did a year ago, with critical economic issues still pressing, the Madison Borough Council got an early start on the 2012 municipal budget process with an initial hearing Friday night at Hartley Dodge Memorial. No formal action was taken, and the presentation by Borough Administrator Ray Codey and Assistant Borough Administrator Jim Burnet was based on what were described as “ultra conservative” estimates by borough Chief Financial Officer Robert Kalafut. (Kalafut had a family emergency and did not attend the meeting.) “I hope we would not have a tax increase [in 2012] over 2 percent,” said Council member Jeannie Tsukamoto. Members-elect Bob Landrigan and Carmela Vitale also attended the meeting. Appropriations are estimated to …
