PAGANO
AYE,
This
local law was passed in previous years.
The Board does not expect to exceed the tax cap this year. This law avoids penalties and/or fines due to
the variables associated with this regulation.
A
resident requested more information on the local law. If the Town does not have the override local
law it is a possibility the Town could be penalized. This is a safety net. A huge formula goes into it. The Board passes this local law to protect
the residents and works very hard to stay under the cap. Something could be missed or the State could
change the formula. The Board has not
exceeded the 2%.
Supervisor
Councilperson
Maul At first I was not in favor of this.
After being educated, I realized it is an insurance policy with no
intension to go over the 2%.
A
resident stated health care and pension costs are above 2% and the balance has
to come from somewhere else.
All
persons desiring to be heard, having been heard, the public hearing was closed.
RESOLUTION
NO. 125 (2014) PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
RESOLVED the Public Hearing be closed at 7:55 p.m.
