Committee introduces salary-range ordinance and cap-bank model ordinance for 2026
Summary
At the March 4 meeting the Township Committee introduced Ordinance 2026-4 (salary ranges for township positions, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026) and Ordinance 2026-5 (model ordinance to exceed appropriation limits and create a cap bank); both were introduced on first reading and set for final consideration April 1.
The Oxford Township Committee introduced two ordinances on March 4: Ordinance 2026-4, which sets annual salary ranges for township officers and employees, and Ordinance 2026-5, a model ordinance that would permit the township to exceed the usual 2% appropriation increase and establish a cap bank under N.J.S.A. 40A:4-45.14.
Ordinance 2026-4 lists salary ranges for specific titles including: Mayor ($4,000.00–$6,500.00), Deputy Mayor ($3,000.00–$5,500.00), Committee Person ($3,000.00–$5,500.00), Township Clerk ($30,000.00–$80,000.00), Chief Financial Officer ($20,000.00–$50,000.00), Public Works Foreman ($50,000.00–$90,000.00), and a variety of hourly and stipend ranges for clerks, laborers, lifeguards and other positions. Section 2 of the ordinance sets the salary ranges retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026.
Ordinance 2026-5 cites the Local Government Cap Law and states the committee finds a 1.5% increase ($22,509.99) advisable for the budget year while also noting the 3.5% statutory allowance for special authorization (the ordinance text includes a 3.5% figure amounting to $52,523.31). Both ordinances were introduced for first reading; final reading and adoption for both are scheduled for April 1, 2026.
Georgette Miller moved to introduce both ordinances; Linda Koufodontes seconded and both measures were approved for introduction by unanimous roll call vote.
