Tom Getzendanner, STA 908~277 ~3624

Aprii iO, 2014

Good evening t"vfr. Chairman,

!'m Tom LTetzendam1er, retired Sununit counciiman, now representing our iocal Taxpayers A...ssociation.

Five of your 48 bundled Resolutions tonight wa..Jant comment:

R#303 concurs with some time-restricted curbside parkJng on Springfieid Ave in west Summit that wili be easier fer cur police to enforce.

(-'(-""'\ /\ ~61\vlii\heip SAGE Eldercare stCl.l-'fin Summit qualify for the state health ins-orance plan (SHIP) coverage.

R.:¥294 spends $89,400 for a ne\v ·~zamboP..i'" at Warinanco Ice Rink \vhich SHS hockey teams use extensively. hD

M~2i i~tS ''Our House Inc" briefly close Broad Street in Sununit for a 5-rnile ?vfarathon Run event lvfay 4th \

!l_#JOO amends the Bud' 14 version already introduced; we hope ~rlditiona! such amendments are fOrthcoming, as explained below.

I. congratulate our Freeholders on facing their structural imbalance, and making real change to county government. Taxpayers can no ionger afford a workforce of 2,900 fuii·time stafl: with aii the attendant pension and medical benefit costs.

So we applaud the decision to privatize Runnells .lfospital. Keeping it in business (rather than closed-do\\-n for iack ofiviedicaid reimbursernent). Every town in the county has residents tn this facility~ and needs it viable.

But that step alone is not sufticient to c.ontrol property taxes to the degree of surrounding counties. (For example, 1~ ... 1orris held their levy flat for 2nd year in row; e'..'en Essex limited themselves to + 1 ~'2~1o ).

Other amendments shouid be introduced tonight that merge the County Poiice into Sheriff Froehiich 's Qfjice and rationaiize jail operations.

If that's still not sufficient to reach the 29-6 nominal CAP (like your constituent Towns are already doing), then please focus on the other component of county taxation~ namely Open Space. Its c-urrent statutory 1 Y2~b earmark coiiects $10mm a year (iwice the amount envisioned when enacted i3yrs ago). 318 acres have already been preserved? versus your goai of 1 00-acres-per·decade. M_tssion accomp!!she<l Jx over!

\Vhy not take a roll-call vote tonight offering ~v1r. Faella just $6mm not $13mm incremental tax revenue? Obviate the need for a ballot Referendum by declanng a ''"fiscal emergency''. Point out your Open Space Trust Fund is currently over·fiJnded. A_nd temporarily suspend half its contribution rate.

So your ail-in Levy (Fieeholder +Open Space) doesn't ~ow more tha.il $6 million (2o/o) under any condition. Pi ease join the Ausieriiy diet aii your constituent towns adopted long ago!
