Citizens Budget Advisory Committee reports to Council on Monday

The Mapp administration has proposed cuts
in the CY2019 budget.

The Citizens Budget Advisory Committee -- appointed by members of the City Council -- will present its report to the Plainfield City Council at Monday's agenda-setting session.

The City Council has finished its budget review session with each of the City's departments.

Council members now are reviewing the proposed budget and making their individual recommendations.

These, together with any recommendations by the CBAC, will be taken into account as the Council comes to its final determination on the City budget for CY2019.

While the Administration is responsible for proposing the budget, it is the Council's sole responsibility to adopt it as proposed (or modify it in any way it sees fit).

This year is more sensitive than most because the Administration has proposed cuts that will diminish City services (especially the Plainfield Public Library and the Division of Parks & Recreation).

The budget is expected to be passed at the Council's business meeting May13.

City Council meets 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.

NOTE: I have seen officers in patrol vehicles allow Council attendees to turn onto 4th Street in front of Police Headquarters to enter the public parking. Exiting is no problem. Be cautious.
