ELIZABETH---Freeholder Fiscal Committee Chairman Alexander Mirabella today announced a set of open public hearing dates in March for the review of the 2010 Executive Budget.
The dates and times are: Thursday, March 18th and March 25th, beginning at 4 p.m. and concluding by 7 p.m. Following the March 18th budget hearing, there is a Freeholder agenda setting meeting scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Following the budget hearing on March 25th, a Freeholder regular meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
The budget hearings are held in the Freeholder meeting room on the sixth floor.
“We will continue to explore cost savings and reductions in the budget line by line,” Mirabella said. “During this tough time, we’re going to have to continue to make sacrifices as many of our residents are doing.”
The 2010 Executive Budget was presented last month by County Manager George W. Devanney, who noted this year’s budget narrative “reflects our proactive efforts in overcoming extraordinary challenges over the past year, and stabilizing Union County’s current budgetary picture despite one of the toughest recessionary cycles in a generation, which adversely impacted many of our residents as well.”
The Freeholder Board will conduct their review before voting to introduce a final budget around or before early April. |
