Southampton Township Committee previews 2019 budget and unanimously approves executive session on personnel
Summary
At a April 3, 2019 budget workshop, the Southampton Township Committee reviewed preliminary 2019 appropriation figures prepared by the CFO and unanimously approved Resolution 2019-46 to enter executive session to discuss personnel; no public comments were made.
The Southampton Township Committee met April 3, 2019 at the Robert L. Thompson Building to review preliminary figures for the township'019 municipal budget and to approve an executive session on personnel. Mayor James F. Young, Sr. called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. and the meeting adjourned at 8:43 p.m.
Committeeman Ronald Heston, serving as the committee's Liaison to Finance, reviewed preliminary appropriation request figures that had been prepared by the township Chief Financial Officer. The transcript records discussion of those budget items but does not report specific dollar amounts, line-item totals, or a proposed tax impact; the record therefore treats figures as not specified.
Before substantive discussion, the Municipal Clerk/Administrator read the public-notice statement required by the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act, confirming the agenda was posted at the municipal building, filed with the Central Record and the Burlington County Times, and mailed to those requesting meeting schedules. Mayor Young opened the meeting to public comment; no members of the public wished to speak and the public-comment portion was closed.
The committee approved Resolution 2019-46 "for the purpose of discussing Personnel." Committeeman Mikulski moved the motion and Deputy Mayor Elizabeth Rossell seconded; a roll-call vote was recorded as affirmative from Committeeman Ronald Heston, Committeeman Bill Raftery, Deputy Mayor Elizabeth Rossell, Committeeman Mikulski and Mayor James F. Young, Sr. The record notes no formal action was taken in open session on personnel matters.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn at 8:43 p.m.; Committeeman Ronald Heston moved, Deputy Mayor Elizabeth Rossell seconded, and the committee voted unanimously to adjourn. The minutes were submitted by Kathleen Hoffman, Township Clerk.
The committee's discussion of the 2019 budget in this workshop was a preliminary review; the transcript does not include adopted budget figures or final votes on appropriations. Any follow-up budget hearings, public hearings on tax rates or formal adoption votes are not recorded in this document.
