The Voorhees Township municipal offices are closed today, meaning the regularly scheduled township committee meeting will be held tomorrow, April 26, at 8 p.m.
The committee will entertain questions about the 2011 budget at the document’s public hearing. The flat budget will actually reduce the average taxpayers municipal tax bill by $10, Township Administrator Larry Spellman reported.
The actual budget will not be passed Tuesday night, as the committee is currently waiting the approval of two separate sales of land in the township. The committee members will most likely pass the budget when the sales are approved, Spellman said, so they can include the funding from the sale in the document.
Also included in Tuesday’s business, the committee members will discuss a proposed revaluation of the township’s property values. In 2005 the committee approved a township-wide revaluation, but since have lost several hundred thousand dollars in property tax appeals from Voorhees residents.
The revaluation would cost about $300,000 to execute, but would most likely reduce the number of appeals.
