Wyckoff committee introduces open-space tax renewal for November ballot
Summary
The Wyckoff Township Committee introduced Ordinance No. 2093 to place a public question on the November ballot asking voters to continue the municipal open-space trust fund and authorize a tax levy of up to 1% per $100 of assessed valuation to fund preservation, recreation, farmland and historic projects.
The Wyckoff Township Committee on June 9 introduced Ordinance No. 2093 to place a public question on the November general election ballot asking voters to continue the township's municipal open-space trust fund and to authorize a tax levy of up to 1% per $100 of assessed valuation.
Under the proposed ordinance, trust funds may be used for open-space preservation, recreation and conservation purposes, farmland and historic preservation, debt service on approved projects and Blue Acres projects. The ordinance was presented during the committee's regular meeting; no final vote on adoption was taken that evening. The committee characterized the measure as a renewal allowing voters to decide whether to continue the fund without a sunset date.
The ordinance introduction followed a review of other agenda business. If adopted after the ballot question and subsequent approvals, proceeds would be available for the types of projects listed in the ordinance. Details about the timing of hearings and any required public comment before final adoption will be published by the municipal clerk.
