Spending plan
(continued from page 3)
such factors as (but not limited to) contractual agreements
in place, statutory spending requirements, restrictions on
revenue sources, economic conditions, needs expressed
by department managers and the level of service expected
by the residents and taxpayers of the Borough of Midland
Park.” For the fifth consecutive year, state aid remained flat
at $546,706. However, anticipated revenues for 2014 will
include a first-time influx of $80,000 from the Borough of
Ho-Ho-Kus for shared building department services.
Additional revenues will also include $170,000 from the
cell tower, $91,500 from cable franchise fees, $40,000 in
interest from interest and deposits, $75,000 from fees and
permits, and $43,000 from the municipal court.
The spending plan includes an anticipated surplus of
$1,500,000. This year’s capital budget includes multiple items,
including $600,000 for a ladder truck for the volunteer fire
department, $150,000 for vehicles for the borough’s depart-
ment of public works, $125,000 for road resurfacing proj-
ects, $77,825 for police vehicles, and $50,000 for curb and
drainage work on West Summit Avenue.
The statement included with the borough’s capital
budget notes that the borough employs a pay-as-you-go
method of funding capital expenses in order to maintain
infrastructure without placing undue burden on local tax-
payers through debt issuance and interest costs.
The hearing on the municipal budget will be held as part
of the Midland Park Council’s March 27 session.
