A Message From Your Township Mayor and Council Many residents may not know that recycling is the law in New Jersey. In Belleville, we recognize that it’s very important for many reasons. As your Mayor, stabilizing your property taxes is one of my main goals, however this sometimes is very difficult. Yet one clear way to help reduce your property taxes directly is to Recycle Your Waste... Yes, by recycling your waste, you the taxpayer reduce Belleville’s solid waste costs, thus at year’s end those savings help to off set your property taxes. So, please remember recycling reduces waste, conserves energy by giving previously used natural resources a new life and it SAVES TAX DOLLARS, YOUR TAX DOLLARS. YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE SAVED ON IT. Mayor, Raymond R. Kimble Recycling is a direct way we the Citizens of Belleville could cut back on the costly waste disposal fees the Township pays when we dump our garbage and could even earn money in return. So when I hear the many recycling slogans like Choose to Reduce, Recycling Works, or Love It or Lose it! I say, “JUST DO IT....RECYCLE”. Marie Strumolo Burke, 1st Ward Councilwoman Recycling is important not only does it save the earth, but saves the Township money. Everyone must recycle it’s the law and it’s going to be enforced Kevin Kennedy, Councilman at Large Over the last few years we have worked to increase recycling in Belleville. We would like to thank you for your great response. We have increased our recycling tonnage but still have not met our target goal of 50% recycling. We need your continued help. If you need more information on recycling or Township Services please visit Belleville’s updated website www.bellevillenj.org. We will be mailing a recycling newsletter out to all residents before the summer for added help in our recycling efforts. Michael Nicosia, Councilman at Large Recycling is at times challenging, but it makes a difference. Recycling helps our town financially along with helping the environment. Let’s work together and recycle. Let’s continue to keep Belleville on of the top 100 towns to live in. Let’s continue to improve quality of life. John Notari, 4th ward Councilman I want to thank all the Belleville residents who have started as well as those that continue to recycle. Over the last few years our annual tonnage of recyclable materials has increased considerably, saving Belleville thousands for dollars in tipping fees to the Landfills.We have distributed new recycling containers to many residence thanks to the DPW and County which I believe help make recycling easier. Please continue your good work and make sure your neighbors are aware of how recycling saves our community money. Please have a healthy and safe year. Steven J. Rovell, 4th Ward Councilman Thank you to everyone who helped in our recycling effort. Our tonnage is up since last year; however, our job is not over yet. In March 2011, we started the “Green Initiative Committee” to explore new and innovative ways of recycling techniques, less wasteful technology and sustainable living. Basic recycling is still one of the most efficient and easiest ways to reduce waste and save on energy costs. Recycling benefits our children, our town and our planet. Vincent Cozzarelli, 3rd Ward Councilman
Cardboard is considered a recycling material and must be put out with your newspaper on the appropriate week in your zone. An Important Message from Mayor Raymond R. Kimble and the Township Council 2011 has turned out to be one of the toughest years when referring to our Municipal Budget and how that relates to your property taxes. With Governor Christie’s 2% budget cap instituted, we had to make some very difficult decisions with regard to the overall budget. First, we had to cut well over $2 million dollars this year, just to get below the 2% cap. Since 2007, we have cut well over $10 million dollars from our township operations. Second, we had to receive special approvals from the state, which we did. Lastly, we requested and received approval to complete a re-assessment plan of township property. This was done because we had completed our Re-Evaluation in 2006, at the height of what we all know now was a fake market, which created totally inflated market values. As a result, of our budget initiatives, we were able negotiate give backs from our Police Officers, Fire Fighters, and Municipal Employees, which helped us from making one of the most difficult decision an elected official can make, which is having to layoff personnel. While many of the surrounding communities, not only, had to make layoffs, they also had to increase property taxes. Together, we have been able to adopt a budget for 2011, which reduces taxes on the average assessed residential property of $248,650, by approximately $27.00. Although it must be noted to all, that because of the re-assessment our tax rate has increased, which means, those above the averaged assessed home may see an increase. Keeping property taxes under control has become very difficult, but by working together, we have accomplished what few other surrounding communities have been able to; no layoffs, and no cuts in the services you have come to expect and deserve. Sincerely, Raymond R. Kimble, Mayor Township Council
