City Council business meeting Monday -- and yes, a tax increase is on the agenda


Detail from Ordinance 2020-08. Underlined text
indicates a tax increase will be coming.

Plainfield City Council's business meeting is Monday (February 10) at 7:00 PM.

The agenda is identical with last week's agenda-setting session, with the exception of the addition of a resolution memorializing the late Mayor Frank (Pete) Blatz, who served from 1968 to 1973 and recently passed away.

And yes, Ordinance MC 2020-08 will be introduced on first reading. This ordinance will establish a cap bank for 2020, and specifically says the 2020 City of Plainfield budget will be increased up to 3.5% over 2019's final appropriations (see image above).

No way around it folks, that sounds like a tax increase is coming.

City Council meets for its business session at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers / Courthouse at Watchung Avenue and East 4th Street. Parking available on the street and in the lot across from Police Headquarters.
