Pitman met state Best Practices threshold; no reduction in 2026 state aid expected
Summary
Councilman Mazzola reported Pitman met and exceeded the New Jersey Best Practices Inventory threshold (this year's minimum score was 32), meaning the borough will not see a reduction in state aid for 2026.
At the Oct. 27 meeting, Councilman Mazzola read an update from the borough CFO on the state's Best Practices Inventory. "This year, the minimum score was 32 in order to receive the full state aid payment," Mazzola said, and he reported that the Borough of Pitman met and exceeded the required score.
The Best Practices Inventory assesses municipal compliance with fiscal and operational standards across budget, capital projects, ethics, insurance, shared services and other categories. Council members said meeting the threshold will preserve the borough's 2026 state aid allocation; the minutes did not include the borough's exact numeric score or a detailed funding amount.
Council discussion noted no formal action beyond endorsement of the Best Practices Inventory for filing; any changes to state aid will depend on state certification and budget processes.
