Voters Tuesday approved a $67.6 million school budget and the election of three candidates in an uncontested Board of Educa- tion race. The board will hold a special meeting tonight for the public to get a look at plans for a proposed construction program at the mid- dle and high schools that would be funded by a bond referendum scheduled to go before voters in December. The proposed building program carries costs estimated as high as $37.75 million. On Tuesday, how- ever, voters approved the budget for the 2005-06 school year 1,010 to 542, a margin close to 2-to-1. With budget growth restricted this year by state legislation and an uncontested election, the voter turnout was dramatically off from previous years. Only 1,566 out of 12,816 eligible voters cast ballots Tuesday. The 12 percent turnout was a 10-point drop from last year. Debbie Frank, Joel Reidenberg and Scott Kamber were elected to three-year terms on the board with virtually identical vote tallies. Frank collected 1,123 votes while Reidenberg and Kamber tied with 1,099 votes each. Frank, an incumbent who now has earned a third term on the board, edged her fellow candidates in the St. Stephen’s Church (29), Hartshorn (224) and Deerfield (223) voting districts. Reidenberg led the voting at Glenwood (165) and South Mountain (161) school polls while Kamber was the top vote-getter among Wyoming School neighborhood voters (193) who cast ballots at the Millburn Free Public Library. At the Education Center Tues- day night watching the votes being reported, Reidenberg, who previ- ously served two one-year terms as a board member, said he was pleased to see the support of resi- dents for the budget. “I look forward to having anoth- er opportunity to serve on the board and working on pressing issues,” he added. Frank agreed. “The board has a lot of work coming up,” she said. “I’m definite- ly gratified to see the budget pass by a large margin even with the low turnout.” Kamber, a newcomer to board pol- itics, was out of town Tuesday night. He told The Item yesterday, “I look forward to being part of a new board with a new leadership. The board’s going to have a fresh perspective to tackle the daunting problems we face.” Superintendent of Schools Richard Brodow acknowledged the problems the morning after the election and turned his attention to obstacles to a new construction program, including the possible loss of state funding from the School Construction Corp., which previously helped fund district pro- jects and now is under scrutiny by the state Inspector General’s office. The board will continue to solid- ify plans for the proposed con- struction, Brodow said. “Once the board decides what needs to be done, then the ques- tion comes up in terms of timing,” he added. “Maybe we’ll proceed in December or maybe we’ll wait until March when the picture is clearer.” In the meantime, the superin- tendent said, it is important for the board to stay on course presenting information to the public about proposed construction. “We need to create an under- standing as to why these things are Harry Trumbore/staff photographer COUNTING VOTES—Board of Education candidates Joel Reidenberg and Debbie Frank Tuesday night check out voting machine tallies at the Education Center while behind them, Helen Hanson, coordinator of administrative services, tabu- lates the results after polls closed Tuesday night for the school board elections.

Timothy Gordon made the pre- sentation in advance of introduc- ing the final township budget at the May 3 meeting. Following a budget hearing, the Committee will be in a position to adopt a final budget at the June 7 meeting. The final tax rate will be set when the portions for schools and county needs are known. During his presentation, Gor- don noted township officials can anticipate 10 percent more rev- enues than last year, up from near- ly $35.5 million to $38.9 million. He attributed the change in part to $400,000 shifted from surplus to pay off debt. Also contributing to the higher revenues are federal reimbursements for damages incurred during Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and a hotel use and occu- pancy fee imposed by the state. The 3-percent tax on users of the one hotel within the township’s borders, The Hilton Short Hills, is yielding $260,000 for the township this year. Those funds will be allo- cated for capital improvements, Gordon said. Gordon also said additional state funds are coming into the township’s coffers because police and fire officials have been more aggressive in seeking grants. With regard to appropriations, Gordon attributed some of the projected 9.6-percent rise to antic- ipated pension costs for govern- ment workers. In addition, a $1.18 million reserve has been set aside for the ongoing tax appeal of The Mall at Short Hills. Other driving forces are the higher costs for utilities, including electricity for street lamps and water for fire hydrant service, as well as petroleum products and salt for the Department of Public Works. In describing the 4-point hike in the tax rate, the business adminis- trator said 2 points are attributable to the municipality’s increased operating costs and 2 points are attributable to the reserve ear- marked for the mall’s tax appeal. Also this year, the township is accelerating its payment on bond anticipation notes, or BANs, which were used to fund renovations at the municipal pool.

Steinberg faces residency inquiry Republicans raise Committee eligibility By Eveline Speedie of The Item A challenge levied by the local Republican Committee calls into question the eligibility of one of the Democratic candidates for Town- ship Committee in November. In a letter received by the town- ship clerk’s office last week, Alan Kral, chairman of the Republican Committee, seeks clarification that Democrat Ellen Steinberg meets the residency requirements for the local office. Kral requested a for- mal review of Steinberg’s eligibili- ty. According to a state statute (N.J.S.A. 19:13-11), the clerk, Joanne M. Monarque, must rule on Steinberg’s eligibility today. Monar- que said she is indeed meeting with Steinberg today to discuss the can- didate’s residency status. Kral said Monday several peo- ple who questioned Steinberg’s res- idency had approached him. He explained county officials told him that he had only until last Friday to raise the issue. According to the primary peti- tion she filed with the municipal clerk, Steinberg listed her address as 41 Kenilworth Drive. The peti- tion shows she took an oath to that effect when she was sworn in April 11 by Annette Romano, acting as notary public. The petition clearly states the residency requirement of one year prior to the date of election (N.J.S.A. 40A:9-1.13). The signa- tures of 23 township residents appear on the document in sup- port of Steinberg’s candidacy. By signing the petition, they certified the candidate’s residence as noted.

Township Committeemen Daniel J. Baer and Salvatore J. Bate appeared before the Safety Com- mittee and reported state aid will enable the town to erect flashing warning lights at hazardous pedes- trian crossings near some district schools. The report released at the meeting is the latest one to study hazardous routes and busing. Last month, a subcommittee presented a similar report on site safety. According to Baer, the township has been awarded $75,000 in “Safe Streets to Schools” funding from the New Jersey Department of Transportation. The money, Baer said, will buy an undetermined number of the flashing signals. The signals being considered by police are solar-powered and cheaper to operate than hard-wired equip- ment, he added. “The police have a priority list of locations,” Baer said. “They are ready to go forward and purchase them.” Bate said the township could save costs by having municipal workers install the light stanchions. “The work could be done by Sep- tember,” he said. Both Committeemen said the grant money probably was not enough to provide the lights at every targeted location. They promised, however, to adopt a “no school left behind” policy. “The township will cover some costs,” Baer said. He explained he and Bate felt it was important that each school benefit from the pro- gram. On Friday, police Capt. Gregory Weber confirmed police have stud- ied potential sites for the lights, but said he did not know how many stanchions can be purchased with the $75,000 in state aid. “We’re going to squeeze as much out of the grant as we can,” Weber said. He said a second grant application was being submitted that day in an attempt to gather additional funds for the project under the “Safe Streets to Schools” program. Several locations where the lights are likely to be installed are near the high school—one near the Chanticler restaurant with a sec- ond positioned near the St. Stephen’s Cemetery— and at Hartshorn School at a crossing on White Oak Ridge Road.

Township firefighters joined per-sonnel from nine other municipal-ities Saturday afternoon battling afire at a Park Avenue residence inSummit.

Upon their arrival at 2:30 p.m.,township firefighters were posi-tioned to direct water on the fire atthe rear of the building. Accordingto reports, they also used theirtruck to pump water to a UnionFire Department tower truck.

The battle to save the buildingwas in vain, however, and thebuilding collapsed from the dam-age. Township firefighters werereleased from the scene shortlybefore 6 p.m.

A report that a car had crashedinto a house drew firefighters to aRidgewood Road residence Sun-day at 2:30 p.m.

They found a car had been dri-ven into the corner of a garage andthe driver was being prepared bymembers of the Millburn-ShortHills Volunteer First Aid for trans-port to a hospital.

The township building depart-ment sent a representative toinspect the structure.

He declared the residence unin-habitable until repairs could bemade.

Police are attributing two inci-dents occurring on township roadsFriday to road rage.

Shortly before 5 p.m., townshipresident Richard Liang, 58, wasdriving south on Highland Avenuewhen the driver of a black Saabreportedly pulled out from ForestDrive without stopping, causingLiang to swerve to avoid a colli-sion.

Liang told police he pulled up tothe Saab at the Short Hills trainstation, got out of his car and chas-tised the driver.

The Saab driver pushed Liangand drove off, according to reports,and the fender of the Saab struckLiang’s leg.

Liang was not seriously injured,police said.

In another incident at 10:15p.m., township resident MichaelWofsy, 51, and his son were driving

on Millburn Avenue near the inter-section with Myrtle Avenue when,according to reports, a driverbehind them began tailgating, thenpulled alongside, allegedly flasheda badge and said he was an FBIagent.

The driver ordered Wofsy to pullover, and as the two cars came to astop, Wofsy reportedly called 911on his cell phone.

Police reported that when theyarrived at the scene, the seconddriver, township resident JosephAhern, 65, who attempted to driveaway, told them he thought Wofsywas taunting him by driving slow-ly and regretted posing as a lawenforcement officer.

Ahern was charged with care-less driving.

Reports of a severely injuredman lying at the base of the park-ing decks drew police to The Mallat Short Hills shortly after 11 a.m.April 11.

They found Ian Silver of Bed-minster, 35, with a badly broken

ankle and broken shoulder.Silver’s injuries were serious

enough that a medical helicopterinitially was called for, but mem-bers of the Millburn-Short HillsVolunteer First Aid Squad eventu-ally transported Silver to Morris-town Memorial Hospital.

The man’s car was parked near-by with his wallet inside, policereported.

Although Silver reportedly saidhe was pushed off the parkingdeck, but did not see his assailant,police this week said they areinvestigating the incident as anattempted suicide.

An animal control officer atGlenwood School Saturdayaround noon saw a dog running

loose on the field at and was ableto find the dog and grab its collar.

While the officer was attemptingto dial the telephone number onthe dog’s tag, a man walked up andslapped the animal.

The officer identified himselfand pushed the person away.

The man then told the officer hewas the dog’s owner.

While he was working outsidein his yard, the man said, the dogran off.

The dog was returned to theowner, who was given a summonsfor letting his dog run loose.

According to animal controlofficers, dogs are not allowed atany time on school grounds or inparks.

Six shade trees were plantedthis week near the playground atGlenwood School in preparationfor a ceremony tomorrow after-noon with the township’s forester,Thomas Doty.

The ceremony, which takesplace at 2:15 p.m., will be a jointcelebration of Earth Day, whichwill be observed tomorrow, andArbor Day, which will beobserved the following Friday.Doty plans to discuss the value oftrees with the elementary schoolstudents and assist them in throw-ing mulch on the newly plantedsaplings.

An annual Arbor Day obser-vance is one aspect of the town-ship’s commitment to trees thathas helped Millburn earn recog-nition as a Tree City USA fromthe National Arbor Day Founda-tion.

This year marks the 26th yearthe township has received therecognition.

In addition, foundation officialsawarded the municipality a TreeCity USA Growth Award,reserved for Tree City USA com-munities that exhibit environ-mental improvement and a highlevel of tree care.

The last time the townshipapplied for and won the awardwas in 1992.

Since coming on board in Feb-ruary 2004, Doty has workedactively to educate members ofthe community on tree care andpreservation, offer continuingeducation for tree managers andpartner with utility companiesand other groups to remove andreplace unsafe trees.

The forester is charged withmaintaining nearly 8,400 treesthat line township streets, as wellas hundreds of trees in parks andon other township-owned prop-erties, including the CoraHartshorn Arboretum and landadjacent to the railroad tracks. Inaddition, he is responsible forenforcing township ordinancesregulating the removal of trees onprivate properties.

“Our municipal tree resourcehas been well managed and main-tained over the past five years,”Doty said this week. “We’vechanged from a sporadic hit ormiss system to a well-organizedprocess of proactive maintenancerather than after care cleanup.We’ve tried to educate residents,plant the right trees in the rightspots and use new technologies toimprove the life span of the trees.”

To earn its Tree City USA des-ignation, the township met threestandards in addition to its ArborDay observance: it has a treeboard or department, a tree careordinance and a comprehensivecommunity forestry program.

For the growth award, Doty

itemized accomplishments thatincluded sending two members ofthe Shade Tree Advisory Board,Lezette Proud and Laura Rhodes,to an all-day training session. Oth-er accomplishments included arti-cles on tree protection and preser-vation appearing in publicationsincluding The Item, an interpre-tive walk in the fall at theHartshorn Arboretum and part-nerships with various utility com-panies to remove unsafe treesfrom power lines and train tracks.

OPINION

Coming events

Calm before the stormThis year’s school board election yawned to a close

Tuesday night with the lightest voter turnout in threeyears.

Only 12 percent of eligible voters—1,566 out of 12,816voters—went to the polls to decide on the school budgetand to confirm three new members to the Board of Edu-cation.

The three candidates seeking to fill three-year terms onthe school board were shoo-ins before voters stepped intothe polling booths. They ran unopposed by any fourthcandidate for one of the three seats that came vacant thisyear.

The proposed school budget for the 2005-06 schoolyear was relatively flat in growth over last year’s budget.Restricted by a state budget cap law passed last summer,the $67.6 budget sent to voters commands an increase of2.5 percent over the tax levy last year.

Not much to get excited about, it seems.Yet, waiting in the wings is a bond referendum to fund

construction projects that could go as high as $38 million,according to estimates contained in a report released byschool administrators in February.

The Board of Education has enough concerns aboutthe referendum to hold two or more special meetings onit, which is scheduled to go before voters in December.

The first meeting takes place tonight. The board’s archi-tect, Martin Feitlowitz will make a presentation and fieldquestions from the audience.

At the second meeting, scheduled for May 9, the finaldetails will be presented, and the board may vote onauthorizing Feitlowitz to submit the building plans to thestate.

At a time when funding from the state is precarious, giv-en the scandals surrounding the School ConstructionCorporation that doles out funds, timing is important.Our school administrators are well aware of this and arekeeping a watchful eye on the calendar.

Days flying by are the least of their problems.Although members of the public who have been

attending Board of Education meetings recently appearto be supportive of the referendum, the dollar amount ofthe construction plan is staggering.

The onus appears to be on the township to foot the billfor its construction needs, given the sad state of affairs inTrenton. There are two camps forecasting whether or notassistance will be forthcoming from the state.

As the meetings on the referendum unfold and theschool district’s needs become more well known, we urgetaxpayers to take the opportunity to educate themselvesabout this crucial matter.

A 12 percent turnout at the polls in December wouldbe shocking—and disgraceful.

Zoning ordinance

Editor, The Item:The Millburn Township Com-

mittee should not enact the“McMansions” zoning ordinancein its current form. It deserves aserious re-examination and over-haul.

While some residents of Mill-burn-Short Hills seek to preservethe town’s character from thethreat of “overbuilding,” home-owners in the R-3 and R-4 districtswill bear the brunt of the financialimpact and quality of life issuesthat will result from passage of theordinance.

To have an informed opinionabout the ordinance, we need anestimate of the number of homesthrown into non-conformity bythis measure. The cost and effortinvolved with such a report is notprohibitive, especially consideringthe magnitude of the effect it willhave on many township residents.

Homeowners in R-3 and R-4,the Township Committee, andaffected residents need to knowexactly what this ordinance willaccomplish, and conversely, howmuch damage it might do, before itis passed.

Are we concerned that specula-tors are laughing at us? Are weupset that developers and neigh-bors are building bigger homesthan our own? Do we object toany architectural style that is notsufficiently Colonial, Tudor or Vic-torian to fit into someone’s indi-vidual idea of what Short Hillsshould look like? Are these newhomes destroying our quality oflife? Does replacement of a 1950sera ranch with a two-and-a-halfstory mansion necessarily changethe character of our town for theworse?

The ordinance, as it stands,reflects a bias toward a certainlook and style of architecture thatis not necessarily shared by alltownship residents. It has thepotential to suppress innovationand diversity of design. Zoningshould not involve the impositionof the personal tastes of a minori-ty of residents on the greater com-munity.

If our concern is with massivelooking homes being built onundersized lots, this issue can beaddressed with a reduction in thetotal lot coverage of a proposedhome.

If we are concerned aboutdestroying homes that maintainthe traditional character of ourtown, we should specificallyaddress the issue by putting stricterlimitations on homes built afterdemolition. If these homes have anexceptional historic or architectur-al value, they should be preservedthrough available legal avenues,otherwise let the market placedecide what is desirable in a house.

The “McMansions” ordinancein its current formulation is overly

complex and arbitrary. As a home-owner in one of the affected zon-ing districts, I’m concerned aboutthe potentially negative conse-quences of such legislation. Thisordinance will needlessly lower thevalue of my property. It will stiflecreative freedom in architecturaldesign and promote conformity atthe expense of aesthetic excellence.Finally, it will negatively impact thequality of life in Short Hills ratherthan preserve it as intended.

Kudos for BOE

president

Editor, The Item:Mary Litterman’s recent deci-

sion to not seek a fourth term aspresident of the Millburn Board ofEducation may not seem particu-larly noteworthy to the averagetaxpayer and parent in MillburnTownship. And as a person whoshuns publicity and much prefersthat others get credit, she probablyprefers it that way. However, I amunwilling to let her go quite so qui-etly.

As an 18-year resident of thishypercritical town, whose childrenhave benefited greatly from thehuge legacy that is her service tous, I feel a profound need to say,“thank you.”

Litterman powerfully, yet quiet-ly, guided the Board of Educationthroughout her tenure.

An outsider looking in at theMillburn Township School Districtand the press coverage it receivesmight conclude this is a town ofprivilege that feels highly entitled,one that leaps to criticism (oftenwithout sufficient facts), and onethat seems to have lost the abilityto maintain any level of civility,respect or appropriateness. Themyriad opinions about our schoolsin town could lead one to think wehad a system completely out ofcontrol.

The facts form a very differentpicture.

The past several years have beena time of unprecedented turbu-lence in our school system. Wehave experienced high levels ofturnover in principal and key fac-ulty positions, an unprecedentedpopulation growth that hasstretched available funds, necessi-tating huge systemic shifts withinindividual schools (new class-rooms, new curricula, and manynew teachers). In the midst of allthis upheaval, we also wererequired to find a new superinten-dent of schools.

In short, under Litterman’swatch, virtually the entire infra-structure of our school system haschanged. Where one might expectto find chaos, one finds, instead, asystem that is extraordinarilyhealthy.

If this same outsider were tospeak with our faculty and admin-istration they would receive evi-dence that the school system isfunctioning more effectively andefficiently than at any other time.

In a town accustomed to lead-ing by being the loudest, Littermanhas quietly and powerfully demon-strated that there is a more potentalternative. Her intelligence, com-passion, generous spirit and dedi-cation to the highest standardshave shown us a new model.

So I invite the local pundits, crit-ics and carpers to silence thecacophony for one moment andjoin me in saying, “Thank you,Mary Litterman. Our schools arebetter and stronger because yourepeatedly were willing to performa thankless job in a most brilliantway.”

Job well done

Editor, The Item:Although I have lived here since

1984 and have proudly been ateacher in the Millburn PublicSchool District since 1990, this isthe first letter to the editor I haveever written.

I am writing in appreciation ofMary Litterman, who is steppingdown this month as the presidentof the Board of Education. Hermany accomplishments were welldocumented in an article in theApril 14 issue of The Item.

Too often, in other districts, Ihave heard about teachers havingto spend energies involved in vari-ous misunderstandings and con-flicts with their particular boards ofeducation. Throughout her tenureas our board president, Littermanhas often stood out as “the voice ofreason.” Her level of dedication toMillburn Public Schools will besorely missed.

Animal control

Editor, The Item:In the next few weeks, the Mill-

burn Police Department’s AnimalControl Division will be conduct-ing a census of all dogs in thetownship.

If you are a dog owner and yourdog is not licensed, a warning willbe issued and you will have sevendays to comply. If the complianceis not met during that time period,a summons will be issued.

Licensing your dog is requiredby state and local laws.

Dogs are not permitted onschool grounds or in any park,even during sporting events onweekends. Animal control officers

will be patrolling these areas.Now that spring is here, we can

expect that wild animals that havebeen quiet over the cold wintermonths will start to come out ofhibernation and once againbecome a problem.

So far this spring, raccoonsseem to be the nuisance animal.Raccoons are mostly nocturnal,but will venture out during daylighthours in search of food. This doesnot mean that all raccoons outduring daylight hours are sick, butextreme caution should be taken inany case.

The best thing to do is leavewildlife alone unless it poses athreat to human life or property.Never attempt to handle wildlife byyourself. Do not trap animals andtry to release them yourself. Inorder to do so, a permit is requiredfrom the New Jersey Division ofFish and Wildlife. Seek advicefrom a professional, such as an ani-mal control officer.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTCharming folk tale at Paper Mill delivers enjoyment By Thom Molyneauxfor The Item

Musicals simply don’t get anymore charming than “The Baker’sWife.” And this amiable Frenchfable that’s been having hit andmiss, trial and error, here and thereproductions for the past 30 yearscouldn’t have a better productionthan the one currently gracing thestages of the Paper Mill Playhouse.

The enjoyment starts with thesun-dappled set of a quaint, isolat-ed rural village (circa 1930s) won-derfully realized by the designerAnna Louizos with the aid of JeffCroiter’s lighting, and the openingnumber “Chanson” sung byDenise, the cafe owner’s wife,played by the delightfully elfin GayMarshall. On her own, she pro-vides enough French flavor to sea-son the entire production. Weknow from the start we are in thetalented hands of confident pro-fessionals and are in for an eveningof solid entertainment.

Adapted from a film by MarcelPagnol, with a book by JosephStein and music and lyrics byStephen Schwartz, “The Baker’sWife” tells a love story. Yes, there isthe classic love triangle—older hus-band, younger wife, handsomelover, but the primary romance, thelove and lust, that drives the storyis the villagers’ passion for the bak-er’s bread. Indeed, one of the high-lights of the first act is “Bread,” arousing hymn sung by the entirevillage that exalts in an ecstaticalmost supernatural salute to thebaker’s loaves, brioches and crois-sants. The villagers are grateful thatAimable Castagnet has come toreplace their recently deceasedbaker, although Aimable has comewith Genevieve, his younger, verypretty wife, and that will undoubt-edly complicate matters.

Soon enough Dominique,young, handsome and aggressive,woos and wins Genevieve andthey run away, leaving Amiablewith a broken heart. The villagesoon discovers that a heart-broken

baker doesn’t bake, and they aresans bread avec hunger. The vil-lagers, who have mastered the fineart of generational feuding, dailybickering and moment to momentirritation, join together to bringback the baker’s bride and, ofcourse, the baker’s bread.

Gordon Greenberg has cast theproduction with an array of char-acter faces, shapes and sizes. Thereare vividly defined real people inthis village; there are no genericchorus types on the Paper Millstage. He also has cast terrificactor/singers in the leading roles.

Lenny Wolpe, a local favorite, isan appealing and always empa-thetic Aimiable and surprised mewith his strength and command asa singer. As Genevieve, Alice Rip-ley brilliantly performs the twomost important songs in the score,“Meadowlark” and “Where Is theWarmth?” The first, “Mead-owlark,” is probably one of thegreat theater songs, a dramaticshowstopper that paints a charac-ter, tells her story, propels the plotand climaxes the first half of theshow. “Where Is the Warmth?” isa love song that revealsGenevieve’s growth and herunderstanding of the differencebetween the heat of passion andthe warmth of love, an under-standing that makes the show’shappy ending believable. Max VonEssen brings an unaffected virilityand a big Broadway voce toDominique. He nearly does hisown slice of show stopping with

his exuberant, athletic rendition ofhis love song, “Proud Lady.”

The rest of the cast contributespecific characterizations to thesuccessful telling of the charmingtale, and all are to be applauded,but I would like to especially noteKevin Del Aguila’s funny, focusedvillage drunkard.

The creative bedrock of “TheBaker’s Wife” is Schwartz’s musicand lyrics. The music is alwaysmelodic and the lyrics are consis-tently intelligent, warm and witty.Wit is also a key component ofGreenberg’s effective original stag-ing.

On the long, sometimes rocky,road to this production, the cre-ators have focused on making thevillage the key to the story.

They have expanded the vil-lagers’ stories, and although thereis a specificity and a palpableambiance in this version, I thinkthere is still some refining to bedone. Right now it seems to takenovel-length time to tell this simplefolk tale. It could use some trim-ming, probably in the villagers’ sto-ries. It’s true they are specific, butthey also seem somewhat padded.In hearing more of their story weseem to be hearing more of whatwe’ve already heard and alreadyknow.

“The Baker’s Wife” runsthrough May 15 at the Paper MillPlayhouse. Call (973) 376-4343 fortickets and information or visitonline at www.papermill.org. Tick-ets range from $31-$68.

By Harry Trumboreof The Item

Millburn Middle School eighth-grade students in John Brus’ Amer-ican History class Monday after-noon received a lesson in govern-ment from a visiting expert on thesubject—Congressman RodneyFrelinghuysen.

Frelinghuysen, who representsthe 11th Congressional District,which includes approximately allthe neighborhoods in Short Hills,told the students his visit to theirclass was one of 80 to 90 schoolvisits he makes during the year.

While the congressman waswilling to explain his duties as arepresentative, he clearly was eagerto take questions and open a dia-logue with his young constituents.

Rachel Friedman wanted Frel-inghuysen’s take on the hearings toratify John Bolton as the nation’srepresentative to the UnitedNations.

Frelinghuysen, who made thepoint ratification of the nominee isup to the Senate, said he was notthrilled by the president’s choice tohead the U.N. delegation.

“It’s pretty difficult to put in thatseat someone who is critical of theUnited Nations,” Frelinghuysensaid.

When Jake Silver asked whatwas the hardest decision the con-gressman ever had to make, Frel-inghuysen singled out his vote forthe impeachment of President BillClinton.

Frelinghuysen told the class heis regarded as a moderate Repub-lican who is fiscally conservative,but more progressive on socialissues. Commandeering the black-board and chalk, he marked outthe basic problems he sees aheadfor the social security system.

“I give the president credit forchallenging Congress to talk aboutthe problem,” he told the students.“We either have to raise taxes oryou have to cut benefits.” Unfortu-nately, he added, it is an issue peo-ple are reluctant to tackle.

For 20 percent of social securi-ty recipients, it is the only checkthey receive each month, Frel-inghuysen said, and for 65 percent,it is the largest check they receive.A solution will only come about if

representatives from both partiescan talk to each other in a civilway, he told the students.

The congressman illustrated theproblems facing a legislator by stat-ing his objections to drilling for oilin the Alaska.

“Some of my colleagues ask,where would you allow drilling?”he said. “Would I allow windmillsto be erected off the coast of NewJersey?”

To pass his own legislation tohelp protect New Jersey’s High-lands region, Frelinghuysen need-ed the backing of those colleaguesfrom western states. “It’s part of myjob to balance these issues. I had toget the cooperation of people fromwestern states to pass my bill.”

Asked how he felt being aRepublican in a state that voted forthe Democratic candidate for pres-ident, Frelinghuysen said he repre-sents all his constituents equally.

“It doesn’t make me unhappythat this is a ‘blue state,’” he said,again stressing his moderate views.Responding to a question about hispolitical ambitions, he made thepoint that a run for a Senate seatwould be the next logical step. Heexplained, however, not onlywould a Senate campaign beexpensive, he would forfeit thebenefits of seniority he has accruedduring his six terms in Congress.

“You do get an advantage foryour state,” Frelinghuysen said. “Ilike what I do now. It’s very cooland neat.”

Answering more questions firedat him, the congressman weighedin on other issues.

On the topic of steroids, Frel-inghuysen said, “My general viewwas, ‘doesn’t Congress have any-thing better to do?’ In hindsight,baseball is a huge money-makingmachine. It’s good for Congress totell baseball to clean up its act.”

He hopes the new Palestinianleadership signals a shift in MiddleEast politics. “There is a hugepotential for peace,” he said.

Closer to home, Frelinghuysensaid Monday he supports MorrisCounty Freeholder John Murphy’sbid for the Republican gubernator-ial nomination, but thinks theGOP race will come down to For-

rester and Schundler.Some of his colleagues current-

ly are raising money or consideringruns for the presidency, he said.Frelinghuysen told the studentshe’s sure Sen. John McCain “isitching to run.” He thinks Kerry’srunning mate, John Edwards, willmake a bid for the nomination andhe called Sen. Joseph Lieberman“an interesting guy from Connecti-cut.”

Political parties try to balancetheir tickets, Frelinghuysen said.When student William Mooreasked if Henry Clay’s 1844 vicepresidential running mate,Theodore Frelinghuysen, was anyrelation, the congressman laughedand admitted he’s a direct descen-dent. It was a perfect example of abalanced ticket, he said.

“Clay was from Kentucky, Frel-inghuysen was from New Jersey,”he said. He added that Clay drank,liked the ladies and loved to gam-ble. His ancestor, he confessed,“was self-important and full ofhimself.”

Spending by teenagers is an areaof great concern to financialexperts. In 2003 teenagers spentmore than $175 billion, accordingto Take Charge America, Inc. Theamount includes earned money,allowance, gifts and other spendingmoney from their parents, withouteven taking into account theamount parents spent as a result oftheir teenagers’ influences.

“Teenage spending at this levelcan be extremely harmful, espe-cially with the escalation of creditcard debt in the United States,”said Mike Sullivan, director of edu-cation for Take Charge Ameri-ca. “As the end of the 2004-05school year draws near, it is crucialfor parents and their teenagers totalk about finances and create bud-gets for end-of-the-year activities.”

Seniors and their parents shouldpay special attention to promexpenses, which can include tick-ets, flowers, formal wear, dinnerand even special transportation.By establishing budgets agreeableto both parents and teens, teenscan participate in the process andlearn valuable personal financialskills to prepare them for thefuture. Parents and their teensshould then create an itemized listof necessary items and the price ofeach to make sure they stay with-in the limits of their budget.

Sullivan says with early plan-ning, parents can save money andseniors can still have an enjoyableprom night with their friends andclassmates. The following tips andideas for parents and their teenscan reduce the cost of a seniorprom:

Transportation—If you must renta limousine and a driver, planahead and share the ride and costwith two or three other cou-ples. Better yet, borrow a friend orparent’s car to drive yourself andyour date, paying only for the gaso-line.

Flowers—Purchase flowers at alocal grocery store or drug storeinstead of a flower shop to save, orpurchase single-stemmed flowersand make your own corsage orboutonniere. Silk flowers can bepurchased at craft stores and canbe put together ahead of time.They can easily be coordinatedwith your attire and also make

great souvenirs.Dinner—Dinner may be includ-

ed in the price of the prom ticketfor some schools. However, inmost cases, the dance beginsaround 8 p.m., and students makereservations for dinner before theyarrive at the prom. While this canbe extremely expensive, dinnerdoes not have to be at a gourmetrestaurant. Call nearby restaurantsto see where you can get the bestdeals and make reservations aheadof time.

Tuxedos—Rent a tux for thenight, or better yet, borrow onefrom your older brother or afriend. Purchase the tux only if

you’re going to use it again, and inthe very near future. Some stu-dents shop at vintage stores for adifferent look.

Dresses—Shop at outlet stores oron the Internet for a dress. Even ifthe dress is a size too big, it can eas-ily be tailored to fit. Just remember,if you find a dress on the Internet,make sure you know the compa-ny’s return policies before makingthe purchase. Alternatively, pur-chase your own fabric and have adressmaker create a personaldesign for you.

Hair and makeup—Have yourmom or an aunt apply your make-up and put up your hair. Do a prac-

tice-run first to decide exactly whatyou want. Similarly, some girlschoose to have department storecosmetologists apply their makeupon the day of the prom—and best ofall, it’s free.

Photos—Bring your own camerato the prom instead of purchasingphotograph packages through yourschool. Candid photographs canbe taken to discount or drug storesfor mass printing and enlargementsat reasonable cost. In many cases,you can crop photos, remove red-eye, change the color of the phototo black and white or sepia, or addcaptions and borders for no addi-tional cost.

Freshman right-hander KellySullivan scattered three hits overfive innings and was the beneficia-ry of an 11-hit attack, helping theMillburn High School varsity soft-ball team snap a three-game losingstreak with a 17-1 drubbing of TheAcademy of St. Elizabeth Fridayafternoon in Convent Station.

Senior Lauren Burrick, sopho-more Lauren Bariso and freshmanAlexa Maldonado each scoredthree runs for Millburn (2-4, 2-3Northern Hills Conference, Sub-urban Division). Senior BeckyGoldring and junior Katie Dilyardeach crossed the plate twice forMiller head coach Jim Colabelli’ssquad.

The contest was halted after fiveinnings by the 10-run mercy rule.

“I was very pleased in how webounced back from a lopsided loss(20-0 at Caldwell) the day before,”Colabelli said. “This team has the

potential of being extremely com-petitive with all of our opponentsas the season progresses.”

Millburn managed just threehits, two by Maldonado and oneby junior Sarah Katzman, againstsenior right-hander KristenSchindler of Caldwell (6-0) in itsApril 14 loss to the division rivalChiefs. Dilyard (0-1) took the loss.

also said a light on WyomingAvenue may be helpful in calmingtraffic.

Now that the township has beenapproved for the money, the cap-tain said his department mustdetail for state and county officialsthe exact locations where the lightswill be installed, noting surround-ing signage and other information.

“Now, we have to do our home-work,” he said. “We have to getspecific information to Trentonand Newark.”

According to township businessadministrator Timothy P. Gordon,the township will provide addi-tional funding for the lights notcovered by the grant once thepolice report establishes a precisecost for the program.

“I told (Baer and Bate) if theyget me the amount of what theycost, I’d see what I could do toidentify funds for the additionallights,” Gordon said.

The township’s new grant appli-cation for additional “Safe Streets

to Schools” funding is for approx-imately $550,000, the town admin-istrator said.

Although a decision on thetownship’s new grant for addition-al funding is not expected for sev-eral months, Gordon said, “ Wecould proceed with installation onthe lights.

Any new money could be usedfor other things.”

The report presented by the haz-ardous routes subcommittee at theApril 14 meeting reviewed theways eligibility for busing is deter-mined and how hazardous routesare defined.

“A lot of the work dealt withmapping out routes,” the group’sspokesman, Sam Levy said.

“In terms of people who have towalk to school, we studied thoseroutes.”

Among the findings highlightedin the report by the subcommittee:

Many pupils who are not eligi-ble for busing nonetheless boardbuses at stops near their homes inthe mornings because, accordingto the report, bus drivers can not ordo not consult eligibility lists dur-ing morning runs.

High school bus routes are over-booked, but often under-utilizedbecause many junior and seniorclass students use private trans-portation.

On the other hand, many ele-mentary and middle school busroutes could be re-drawn toaccommodate more students.

A lack of signage creates haz-ardous conditions for studentswho often have to walk in the mid-dle of unsafe, high-crowned streetsdue to lack of sidewalks.

The committee attempted toidentify the most hazardous routes,Levy said, by borrowing the threatadvisory system of the Departmentof Homeland Security.

While all the streets listed wererated hazardous, the most haz-ardous streets were identified asGlen Avenue (from WyomingAvenue to Ridgewood Road); Mill-burn Avenue (between Cypressand Essex streets); the intersectionof Wyoming and Glen avenues;the intersection of Sagamore Roadand Glen Avenue; Great HillsRoad; Hemlock Road; BrantwoodTerrace; Western Drive (betweenTaylor and Lake roads); and Old

Short Hills Road (from the middleschool to Silver Spring Road).

Although the report includes a10-point plan to remediate some ofthe problems, it acknowledges thatthe township has streets that arenot designed for student walking.

The committee concluded,“Whether attention is drawn toextra signs, storm water diversion,or mapping different walkingroutes to avoid dangerous roads,the school board should revisit itsoverall transportation policybecause every school in the town-ship causes their students to walk adangerous route.”

Superintendent of schoolsRichard Brodow said the district’ssafety consultant, RichardBlomberg, will be asked to reviewthe report and hopes some com-mittee members will be available totour the sites with the safety expert.

Although the two subcommit-tees have now submitted theirreports, Brodow said he hopes tokeep the Safety Committee opera-tional.

“I think it’s important for themembers to see that we are makingprogress,” he said.

Baer and Salvatore J. Bate report-ed Tuesday on an April 12 meetingof the traffic and safety subcom-mittee. The meeting included rep-resentatives of the police depart-ment and the school district’s safe-ty subcommittee as well as RichardFutter, president of the Millburn-Short Hills Chamber of Com-merce, and Gennaro Raimo, aboard member of the DowntownMillburn Development Alliance(DMDA).

Baer said the group had a “vig-orous conversation” about meterfeeding in the downtown, a prac-tice that reduces the amount ofspaces available for shoppers.According to Bate, meter feedinghas been an ongoing problem thathurts the vitality of the downtownand requires re-educating mer-chants and the public.

Among remedies that can bepursued, Bate suggested, are pub-lishing maps of alternate parkingspaces, visiting merchants directly

and identifying instances wherebusiness owners have not boughtthe required parking permits fortheir employees. Any plan forenforcement needs to be sustained,he noted.

Mayor Thomas C. McDermottadded a letter seeking cooperationfrom property owners and tenantsin the downtown will be sent nextweek. The letter carries the jointsignature of himself and DMDApresident Arthur Fredman.

Baer said the traffic and safetysubcommittee is considering elim-inating the crosswalk on the eastside of Lackawanna Place andMillburn Avenue because pedestri-ans are unprotected from turningtraffic.The Committee introducedan ordinance amending construc-tion permit fees and another ordi-nane defining parking and trafficregulations on the Millburn Edu-cation Center and Millburn HighSchool properties. Those regula-tions will enable the police depart-ment to fully enforce the trafficcode, the Committee noted.

Adopted on final reading was anordinance amending and supple-menting the code with respect toanimal control, to comply with NJDepartment of Environmental

Mayor charts flaws in county budgetBy Patricia Harrisof The Item

Earlier this month, MayorThomas C. McDermott addressedthe Board of Chosen Freeholdersto speak out about the EssexCounty budget.

He outlined three areas of con-cern—spending, long-term debtand an inadequate level of surplus.McDermott spoke as chairman ofthe budget review committee of theChange County Government TaskForce, a group of municipal offi-cials who have been meeting sincelast year to find ways to ease theburden on county taxpayers.

McDermott said this week hewas grateful for the opportunity togive input on the county’s budget,although later during the sameApril 6 session, the freeholdersapproved this year’s budget as pro-posed by the county executive.

“There’s always next year,”McDermott said. “These are long-term issues that need to be con-fronted.”

McDermott said he conductedmost of the budget analysis, work-ing with Candy Straight of Bloom-field, who supplied some of the fig-ures, as well as Ed Remson, Mont-clair’s mayor, Joe Emanuelli ofUpper Montclair and Jerry Neu-mann of Glen Ridge.

The first area of concernMcDermott said he cited was the

additional spending in this year’sbudget—$38.8 million, an increaseof 7 percent over last year’s budget.

“Even with the proposed con-solidations of county departmentsand staff reductions, it appearsthose cost-savings are actuallyreused somewhere else and thusthis year’s budget does not reflectany true reduction,” McDermottwrote in his presentation. “For therecord, we would like to see morefiscal efficiencies, heightened pro-gram productivity and real reduc-tions in the actual size of countygovernment that could lead to trueproperty tax relief for taxpayers.”

The second area of concern forthe task force was the county’s cur-rent and long-term debt commit-ments. McDermott noted in 2004the county refinanced its debt andin so doing incurred $19.2 millionin new debt service due to thelonger time period for repayment.He said the task force understandsthe practice of refinancing andspreading out repayment helps fillbudget gaps, although the actioncreates additional long-term oblig-ations for taxpayers.

“If we had confidence this bor-rowing was actually a debt reduc-tion plan, the task force couldaccept the new debt. However, theanswer to how the county will dealwith the upcoming peak years ofdebt service payments, withoutcreating additional debt, franklyconcerns us,” McDermott wrote.

In his presentation, he notedcounty debt service payments willspike in 2007 to $105 million. Theamount represents an increasefrom the current 2005 budget of$83 million and the projected 2006budget of $88 million.

This year, he continued, countydebt plus the Essex CountyImprovement Authority (ECIA)debt equals $1.622 billion. In the2005 budget, taxpayers will pay atotal interest charge of $49 million,with $23 million of those dollars ininterest-only payments.

“These increases, particularlythose at the ECIA—up from $840million to $1.2 billion in the lastthree years—are of considerableconcern,” McDermott wrote.

The county debt will likelyincrease because there is a lack ofcapital improvement programs,according to the mayor. With thecounty financing all capital pro-jects through grants or debt financ-ing by the ECIA, he foresees thefiscal trend to borrow now and paylater will continue.

McDermott also addressed aproposed reduction in surplus to$25 million.

“We believe the surplus is dan-gerously low,” he wrote in the pre-sentation. “With a budget of $588million and a government struc-ture as large as Essex County’s, therisk for unexpected expenditures isgreat.

A review of Essex County’s fis-

cal past indicates there will befuture unfunded liabilities thatcould reduce the surplus even fur-ther. “

McDermott also expressed con-cern that low surplus levels, whenviewed by bond rating agencies,could negatively affect the rate atwhich the county borrows money.

As to suggestions for sound fis-cal management, the township’smayor asked county administra-tors and freeholders to avoid addi-tional debt refinancing and workwith members of the budget reviewcommittee of local mayors andadministrators to propose long-range plans to get the county’s debtservice under control. He also sug-gested county officials work withthe shared services committee ofthe Change County GovernmentTask Force to identify potentialcost savings between local munic-ipalities and the county.

The committee is in the processof soliciting recommendationsfrom municipal managers, he said.

McDermott said the countybudget process was more open thisyear and praised the president ofthe freeholder board for reconven-ing the municipal advisory board,allowing a forum for a compre-hensive review of the budget.

He also thanked Paul Hopkins,county treasurer, and his staff fortheir cooperation in answeringquestions and supplying informa-tion.

also said a light on WyomingAvenue may be helpful in calmingtraffic.

Now that the township has beenapproved for the money, the cap-tain said his department mustdetail for state and county officialsthe exact locations where the lightswill be installed, noting surround-ing signage and other information.

“Now, we have to do our home-work,” he said. “We have to getspecific information to Trentonand Newark.”

According to township businessadministrator Timothy P. Gordon,the township will provide addi-tional funding for the lights notcovered by the grant once thepolice report establishes a precisecost for the program.

“I told (Baer and Bate) if theyget me the amount of what theycost, I’d see what I could do toidentify funds for the additionallights,” Gordon said.

The township’s new grant appli-cation for additional “Safe Streets

to Schools” funding is for approx-imately $550,000, the town admin-istrator said.

Although a decision on thetownship’s new grant for addition-al funding is not expected for sev-eral months, Gordon said, “ Wecould proceed with installation onthe lights.

Any new money could be usedfor other things.”

The report presented by the haz-ardous routes subcommittee at theApril 14 meeting reviewed theways eligibility for busing is deter-mined and how hazardous routesare defined.

“A lot of the work dealt withmapping out routes,” the group’sspokesman, Sam Levy said.

“In terms of people who have towalk to school, we studied thoseroutes.”

Among the findings highlightedin the report by the subcommittee:

Many pupils who are not eligi-ble for busing nonetheless boardbuses at stops near their homes inthe mornings because, accordingto the report, bus drivers can not ordo not consult eligibility lists dur-ing morning runs.

High school bus routes are over-booked, but often under-utilizedbecause many junior and seniorclass students use private trans-portation.

On the other hand, many ele-mentary and middle school busroutes could be re-drawn toaccommodate more students.

A lack of signage creates haz-ardous conditions for studentswho often have to walk in the mid-dle of unsafe, high-crowned streetsdue to lack of sidewalks.

The committee attempted toidentify the most hazardous routes,Levy said, by borrowing the threatadvisory system of the Departmentof Homeland Security.

While all the streets listed wererated hazardous, the most haz-ardous streets were identified asGlen Avenue (from WyomingAvenue to Ridgewood Road); Mill-burn Avenue (between Cypressand Essex streets); the intersectionof Wyoming and Glen avenues;the intersection of Sagamore Roadand Glen Avenue; Great HillsRoad; Hemlock Road; BrantwoodTerrace; Western Drive (betweenTaylor and Lake roads); and Old

Short Hills Road (from the middleschool to Silver Spring Road).

Although the report includes a10-point plan to remediate some ofthe problems, it acknowledges thatthe township has streets that arenot designed for student walking.

The committee concluded,“Whether attention is drawn toextra signs, storm water diversion,or mapping different walkingroutes to avoid dangerous roads,the school board should revisit itsoverall transportation policybecause every school in the town-ship causes their students to walk adangerous route.”

Superintendent of schoolsRichard Brodow said the district’ssafety consultant, RichardBlomberg, will be asked to reviewthe report and hopes some com-mittee members will be available totour the sites with the safety expert.

Although the two subcommit-tees have now submitted theirreports, Brodow said he hopes tokeep the Safety Committee opera-tional.

“I think it’s important for themembers to see that we are makingprogress,” he said.

Baer and Salvatore J. Bate report-ed Tuesday on an April 12 meetingof the traffic and safety subcom-mittee. The meeting included rep-resentatives of the police depart-ment and the school district’s safe-ty subcommittee as well as RichardFutter, president of the Millburn-Short Hills Chamber of Com-merce, and Gennaro Raimo, aboard member of the DowntownMillburn Development Alliance(DMDA).

Baer said the group had a “vig-orous conversation” about meterfeeding in the downtown, a prac-tice that reduces the amount ofspaces available for shoppers.According to Bate, meter feedinghas been an ongoing problem thathurts the vitality of the downtownand requires re-educating mer-chants and the public.

Among remedies that can bepursued, Bate suggested, are pub-lishing maps of alternate parkingspaces, visiting merchants directly

and identifying instances wherebusiness owners have not boughtthe required parking permits fortheir employees. Any plan forenforcement needs to be sustained,he noted.

Mayor Thomas C. McDermottadded a letter seeking cooperationfrom property owners and tenantsin the downtown will be sent nextweek. The letter carries the jointsignature of himself and DMDApresident Arthur Fredman.

Baer said the traffic and safetysubcommittee is considering elim-inating the crosswalk on the eastside of Lackawanna Place andMillburn Avenue because pedestri-ans are unprotected from turningtraffic.The Committee introducedan ordinance amending construc-tion permit fees and another ordi-nane defining parking and trafficregulations on the Millburn Edu-cation Center and Millburn HighSchool properties. Those regula-tions will enable the police depart-ment to fully enforce the trafficcode, the Committee noted.

Adopted on final reading was anordinance amending and supple-menting the code with respect toanimal control, to comply with NJDepartment of Environmental

Mayor charts flaws in county budgetBy Patricia Harrisof The Item

Earlier this month, MayorThomas C. McDermott addressedthe Board of Chosen Freeholdersto speak out about the EssexCounty budget.

He outlined three areas of con-cern—spending, long-term debtand an inadequate level of surplus.McDermott spoke as chairman ofthe budget review committee of theChange County Government TaskForce, a group of municipal offi-cials who have been meeting sincelast year to find ways to ease theburden on county taxpayers.

McDermott said this week hewas grateful for the opportunity togive input on the county’s budget,although later during the sameApril 6 session, the freeholdersapproved this year’s budget as pro-posed by the county executive.

“There’s always next year,”McDermott said. “These are long-term issues that need to be con-fronted.”

McDermott said he conductedmost of the budget analysis, work-ing with Candy Straight of Bloom-field, who supplied some of the fig-ures, as well as Ed Remson, Mont-clair’s mayor, Joe Emanuelli ofUpper Montclair and Jerry Neu-mann of Glen Ridge.

The first area of concernMcDermott said he cited was the

additional spending in this year’sbudget—$38.8 million, an increaseof 7 percent over last year’s budget.

“Even with the proposed con-solidations of county departmentsand staff reductions, it appearsthose cost-savings are actuallyreused somewhere else and thusthis year’s budget does not reflectany true reduction,” McDermottwrote in his presentation. “For therecord, we would like to see morefiscal efficiencies, heightened pro-gram productivity and real reduc-tions in the actual size of countygovernment that could lead to trueproperty tax relief for taxpayers.”

The second area of concern forthe task force was the county’s cur-rent and long-term debt commit-ments. McDermott noted in 2004the county refinanced its debt andin so doing incurred $19.2 millionin new debt service due to thelonger time period for repayment.He said the task force understandsthe practice of refinancing andspreading out repayment helps fillbudget gaps, although the actioncreates additional long-term oblig-ations for taxpayers.

“If we had confidence this bor-rowing was actually a debt reduc-tion plan, the task force couldaccept the new debt. However, theanswer to how the county will dealwith the upcoming peak years ofdebt service payments, withoutcreating additional debt, franklyconcerns us,” McDermott wrote.

In his presentation, he notedcounty debt service payments willspike in 2007 to $105 million. Theamount represents an increasefrom the current 2005 budget of$83 million and the projected 2006budget of $88 million.

This year, he continued, countydebt plus the Essex CountyImprovement Authority (ECIA)debt equals $1.622 billion. In the2005 budget, taxpayers will pay atotal interest charge of $49 million,with $23 million of those dollars ininterest-only payments.

“These increases, particularlythose at the ECIA—up from $840million to $1.2 billion in the lastthree years—are of considerableconcern,” McDermott wrote.

The county debt will likelyincrease because there is a lack ofcapital improvement programs,according to the mayor. With thecounty financing all capital pro-jects through grants or debt financ-ing by the ECIA, he foresees thefiscal trend to borrow now and paylater will continue.

McDermott also addressed aproposed reduction in surplus to$25 million.

“We believe the surplus is dan-gerously low,” he wrote in the pre-sentation. “With a budget of $588million and a government struc-ture as large as Essex County’s, therisk for unexpected expenditures isgreat.

A review of Essex County’s fis-

cal past indicates there will befuture unfunded liabilities thatcould reduce the surplus even fur-ther. “

McDermott also expressed con-cern that low surplus levels, whenviewed by bond rating agencies,could negatively affect the rate atwhich the county borrows money.

As to suggestions for sound fis-cal management, the township’smayor asked county administra-tors and freeholders to avoid addi-tional debt refinancing and workwith members of the budget reviewcommittee of local mayors andadministrators to propose long-range plans to get the county’s debtservice under control. He also sug-gested county officials work withthe shared services committee ofthe Change County GovernmentTask Force to identify potentialcost savings between local munic-ipalities and the county.

The committee is in the processof soliciting recommendationsfrom municipal managers, he said.

McDermott said the countybudget process was more open thisyear and praised the president ofthe freeholder board for reconven-ing the municipal advisory board,allowing a forum for a compre-hensive review of the budget.

He also thanked Paul Hopkins,county treasurer, and his staff fortheir cooperation in answeringquestions and supplying informa-tion.
