KOSTER Village council introduces several fiscal ordinances The Ridgewood Village Council has introduced a collection of fiscal ordinances. Ordinance 3251 was created to amend land use and development fees for professionals. The ordinance, if adopted, would set the rate of payment for village professionals working on development applications at 200 percent of the hourly base salary times the number of hours spent on the review. Another ordinance was designed to amend hydrant and fire service fees. The ordinance would amend the fees charged for fire hydrants from $65 per year to $94 per year, and fire services from $203 per year to $254 per year. The management salary ordinance would fix salaries, wages, and other compensation, and would establish the “Employee Agreement” of certain non-union officers and employees of the Village of Ridgewood for 2010. This particular ordinance would set the maximum salaries for the chief financial officer, police chief, and police captain. The chief Financial officer’s maximum salary would be changed to $25,000, the police chief’s maximum to $171,945, and the police captain’s to $165,806. These proposed ordinances will be up for public hearing and final adoption on June 9. J. KOSTER presents...
