Summary
The Green Township Committee on March 16 introduced a $4,443,282.88 municipal budget for 2026, setting a public hearing for April 20. The budget anticipates $1,238,644.88 in revenues, leaving $3,204,638.00 to be raised by local property taxes.
The Green Township Committee on March 16 introduced the township’s 2026 municipal budget, approving a resolution to advertise the spending plan and schedule a final public hearing for April 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the municipal building.
The resolution (2026-83) sets total general appropriations at $4,443,282.88, anticipated revenues at $1,238,644.88 and a local tax levy to be raised of $3,204,638.00. Committee member Margaret “Peg” Phillips moved the resolution; Bader Qarmout seconded it. The roll-call vote was recorded as Ayes — James DeYoung, Phillips, Qarmout, Michael Rose and Mayor Virginia “Ginnie” Raffay.
Why it matters: introduction begins the formal adoption process and opens the budget to public review and comment before final adoption. The committee will hold the statutorily required public hearing on April 20, after which it may adopt the budget.
Procedural details in the record note the clerk will advertise the budget in the New Jersey Herald as required. Linda Di Lorenzo, the CMFO, is identified in the minutes as the finance official connected to budget filings; the resolution text included certification language and the formal appropriation and revenue totals.
Next steps: a public hearing and final vote are scheduled for April 20, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at the municipal building. Additional budget documents and the advertised notice will be available with the clerk’s office ahead of that hearing.
