Assemblyman White brought up the City's position on waiving taxes an personal
property within the City limits. Chairman Powell stated he felt the City should
wait until the City and Borough budgets and the assessments were complete before
the City should make a decision on this matter.
The assemblymen also discussed the assessment program and the Board of Equilization
which was to begin May 10 and because of the late mailing of the assessment
notices the date for the Board of Equilization to begin meeting was changed to
May 20. Assemblyman Brechan made a move that an ad be placed in all papers in the
area notifying the people they have 30 days from April 20 to appeal on their
assessments and that copies of forms for appeal are available in the Borough
Office, seconded by Assemblyman White and passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles A. Powell
Borough Chairman
