Council introduces
tentative municipal
budget at meeting
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
Zach Evans steps into one as Seneca High School took on Eastern last week. The Golden Eagles fell to the Vikings, 12-1. For more photos from the game, please see page 10.
The Shamong Township Committee introduced the 2015 tentative municipal budget at last
weeks meeting. The budget, totaling $2.75 million, saw an increase
of nearly $153,000 from 2014.
There was an increase in salaries
and wages of $19,866 and a decrease in capital improvements of
$48,000.
The anticipated revenue for the
township is $2.3 million, leaving
$426,045.61 to be raised by local
taxation. This will mean an increased tax rate of 1.6 cents per
$100 of assessed valuation, resulting in an annual municipal tax
increase for residents of $50 on a
house assessed at the township
average of $308,000.
The reserve for uncollected
taxes totaled $361,553.06. The balance of the townships outstanding debt is $349,556.60, reflecting a
principal of $312,621.78 with inplease see BAKER, page 7

can keep these
roads in good
condition for
an extra five to
10 years. Additionally, we are
currently looking at the list of
roads that need
work and are
developing a Kenneth Long
budget
for MAYORS MESSAGE
this
work.
The Committee is looking at different ways to get as many roads
repaired or repaved as possible in
the shortest amount of time, utilizing the revenue we normally
receive, creative loans and other
means. Nothing has been determined or approved as yet. However, there will be a program developed this year, and our residents
will be invited to a meeting to
learn more about it.
We are applying to the NJDOT
for funding for specific road
repaving issues again this year.
We applied last year and received
funding for Tuckerton Road in
conjunction with Tabernacle. I
am hopeful we will get more funding this year for other road projects.
Please be patient and be safe on
those roads that can swallow your
car.

he spoke to one of the girls, asking her about the breed of dog she
was walking. He reappeared on
March 22 as the two girls observed the same man and vehicle
drive by them and then circle
around, making the girls feel uncomfortable.
Det. Ryon Barclay at the Red
Lion Barracks believed the girls
concerns were valid after questioning the two students, who attend Olson Middle School.
The vehicle the suspect was operating was described by police as
an older black pickup truck, with
a white stripe from the front
