Summary
The Township Committee of Lebanon approved the 2025 municipal budget during a March 20 work session, voting unanimously to adopt the budget as presented. The meeting minutes record the budget includes a ".02 cent" increase in the local tax; the minutes do not clarify the tax-rate basis for that figure.
The Township Committee of Lebanon approved its 2025 budget during a March 20 budget work session, voting unanimously after a presentation by Township Chief Financial Officer Lorraine England.
England, participating by telephone, presented an updated 2025 budget and told the committee the document was in good order. The minutes state the budget includes a ".02 cent increase in the local tax"; the record does not specify the tax-rate basis or how that figure translates to property tax bills.
After the presentation, Mayor Brian Wunder asked for a motion to approve the budget as presented. Committee member Jay Wojcik moved to approve the budget; Tom McKee seconded. The full committee — Abe Abuchowski, Beverly Koehler, Jay Wojcik, Tom McKee and Mayor Brian Wunder — voted aye on the motion. The minutes record the outcome as approved.
The committee opened the public comment period and, seeing no speakers, closed it without public remarks. With no further business, the committee adjourned at 5:42 p.m.
The minutes do not list line-item appropriations, revenue sources, or specific department changes; those details were not specified in the meeting record and may appear in the formal budget document filed with the township clerk.
