Mayor’s May 2012 Message

Dear Residents and Business Owners:

I am happy to report that our 2012 municipal budget was introduced at the April 2 Borough Council Meeting. This year’s budget calls for a ZERO increase in the municipal portion of your tax package. Councilman Andrus, the finance committee, Ellen Sandman and all of our department heads are to be applauded for maintaining lean budgets in order to keep our taxes down. Capital projects proposed under this year’s budget include: repair work on the basketball and tennis courts in Borough Park; new defibrillators for our police cars and ambulance; repairs to the firehouse floor; and the purchase of a salt paste applicator to be used by our DPW. The proposed budget is available for review at the Borough Clerk’s office in the Phoenix House. A
public hearing on the budget is scheduled for the May 7 Borough Council meeting. The Borough has been advised that we will receive $250,000 for a joint project with Mendham Township to improve Pleasant Valley Road. We plan to pursue additional discretionary funds this year and in 2013 to help minimize the costs of improving this road. John Anderson of JCP&L met with Councilman Andrus, Councilman Sharkey, Ellen Sandman and I to discuss ways to improve the appearance of the JCP&L substation located at the corner of E. Main Street and Cold Hill Road South. Mr. Anderson has reported back to the administration with a preliminary recommendation
for the site which is currently being considered by the Mayor and Council. We are looking forward to the Borough’s annual Shredding Day which will be on Saturday May 12 at the
Department of Public Works complex on Ironia Road. This event has been well received by our residents since its inception two years ago and is a great opportunity for all of us to dispose of confidential material in a secure manner. Please see page 3 of this Messenger or check our website for more information on this event. The Recreation Commission has been busy planning
our summer day camp and has also begun planning for the annual Labor Day Parade. The Mayor and Council have chosen Mr. Charles Topping of Aberdeen Drive to serve as this year’s Grand Marshall. Charlie has contributed countless hours to Mendham Borough in his role as Borough Historian, he serves on the Open Space Committee and is a former member of our Planning
Board. Congratulations and thank you Charlie!
In closing, please enjoy all spring has to offer. If you are out for an evening walk, stop by Borough Park, meet your neighbors and friends while enjoying one of the many baseball games which are typically held in the evening hours during May and June.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to pass them along.
Sincerely,
Neil Henry, Mayor
