    Tax rate increase under proposedbudget could be highest in nine years

    By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

    The township may be facingthe highest tax rate increase innine years. Although the increaseis significant, it is a proactivemove to avoid further issues byusing too much of the surplusfunds, according to township offi-cials at the March 10 TownshipCommittee budget meeting.

    The new municipal budget hasnot been approved, but the esti-

    mated tax rate will increase to34.65 cents per $100 of assessedproperty value compared to 31.8cents last year. An average home-owner in Hopewell Township will

    pay an additional $114.40 in mu-nicipal taxes.

    The towns surplus is at $12million, with $300,000 allocated topay off a mandatory affordablehousing bill later in the year.Using the surplus to pay off thebill is beneficial, but the town-ships chief financial officer,Elaine Cruickshank-Borges,warned that too much of the sur-plus should not be spent now, es-pecially because county andschool bills will need to be paid in

    the summer.Mayor Vanessa Sandom reflect-

    ed on the townships past deci-sions to use surplus to avoid anincrease in the tax rate.

    I remember in 2003, we raidedthe surplus to combat the tax in-crease, and I remember that wasthe biggest mistake. That was nota good decision, she said.

    According to township offi-cials, accepting the tax increasenow will be a safer decision for fi-nances down the road. Sandomdescribed the increase in light ofthe issues the township is facingthis year as pretty reasonable.

    The budget has been dictatedby the loss of approximately

    $900,000 in revenue, which hasbeen discussed at length in recentmeetings, lower assessed proper-

    The following are reported from theHopewell Township Police Department.

    On Feb. 27, at approximately 6 p.m. Offi-

    cer Nicholas Sparaco issued an arrest war-rant for a 22-year-old female of KenwoodDrive, Levittown, Pa. She, along with an-other previously charged female, con-spired to steal checks from an elderly vic-tim in Hopewell Township. They stole thechecks and forged the signature of the vic-tim and then stole money from him whenthey cashed the checks. As of this time, thesuspect is not yet in custody.

    On Feb. 28, as a result of his ongoing in-vestigation into the theft of numerouschecks from an elderly township resident,

    Officer Nicholas Sparaco arrested andcharged a 21-year-old male of Gloria Drive,Morrisville, Pa., with forgery. He con-spired with two previously arrested fe-males to forge the victims name on numer-ous stolen checks and then cash them for

    their own benefit. The 21-year-old was ar-rested at police headquarters and releasedafter being processed. His case will be for-warded to the Mercer County Prosecutors

    Office.

    On March 1, at approximately 2:30 a.m.,while on patrol on Route 29, Officer AlexMirra observed a white Nissan travellingin excess of the posted speed limit. Shestopped the vehicle and when she spokewith the driver, a 27-year-old male from Ti-tusville, she found him to be under the in-fluence of alcohol and impaired. He wasplaced under arrest and transported to po-lice headquarters for processing. He wasreleased to a friend after being chargedwith DWI, reckless driving, speeding and

    having a non-functioning headlamp. Hiscase will be heard in municipal court.

    On March 1, at approximately 4:45 a.m. aresident of Pond View Lane in Titusvillereported a white Jeep in a field behind his

    residence. The Jeep then drove through thefield toward the residents house and drovethrough the back yard and along the side ofthe house and left Pond View Lane. Officer

    Nicholas Sparaco was on patrol nearbyand located the vehicle on Scotch Road.Sparaco stopped the vehicle and spokewith the driver, a 22-year-old male fromBear Tavern Road in Titusville. Based onthe investigation, the male was chargedwith Criminal trespassing and drivingwhile intoxicated. He was transported topolice headquarters where he wasprocessed and released. His case will beheard in municipal court.

    On March 3, Det. Michael Sherman ar-rested and charged a 44-year-old resident of

    Manor Drive, Burlington, with conspiracyto commit theft. The suspect acted as adriver for a resident of Penn Lyle Road,Princeton Junction, when he stole an em-

    Thursday. It cant come soon

    enough. Officially, thats the

    start of spring. Whether Moth-

    er Nature agrees, though, is anyones

    guess at this point. Early forecasts

    show that she will be good to us, but

    how much can we actually rely on

    forecasts?Spring is what we all need. We need

    a nice stroll downtown, in the park or

    on the beach to reinvigorate us, to get

    us out of the doldrum into which win-

    ter plunged us. Winter this year has

    not just affected all of our moods, it

    has affected our bottom lines, too.

    Well all most likely be paying more

    in taxes, in some way, at some level, forthe extensive snow removal, pothole

    repairs and salt purchases.

    Snow has affected local businessesas well, especially retail shops. Bad

    weather kept patrons inside from what

    seemed like October through now. The

    arrival of spring will hopefully turn

    that around, and quickly.

    Snow kept our schoolchildren at

    home which, at the time, they loved

    but it will also keep them in school

    much longer into the summer. Whoknows how that will affect summer

    travel plans? It looks like June 2014

    might be scratched off from summer

    altogether.

    Snow and biting cold has kept peo-

    ple in the mindset of no end in sight,

    and has prevented many from taking

    day trips to our states wonderful good-

    weather spots, or from planning future

    trips, as well.In a little more than 60 days, the offi-

    cial start of the summer beach season

    will be here. Does that even sound

    right?

    New Jersey relies heavily on

    tourism, especially at the Shore dur-

    ing the summer. Last summer was

    hurt by the aftermath of Hurricane

    Sandy. Will this summer be hurt bymore bad weather?

    Lets hope not.

    in our opinion

    Hello, spring, are you here yet?Our moods, our businesses, our livelihoods depend on your arrival

    Your thoughts

    What are you most looking forward to thisspring? While you are out and aboutenjoying what hopefully will be beautifulweather, send us the photos you takealong the way, and well be happy to sharethem with the rest of the town.

    This budget is driven by a lossof revenues, so new revenuesources or changes in the way we

    generate revenue should be con-sidered in the future, Cruick-

    majority of the factors drivingthe budget have been beyondtheir control, and the only optionnow is to lessen damage.

    the whole area? Smith said.Our focus is on local living, buteach year we have a differentangle. We have done home energyin the past, water conservation,

    electric cars and vehicles, electricbike conversion kits. Last year,we started promoting farms andlocal foods.

    This year, the expo will featureall of the highlights from thepast, but because there are somany new towns involved, it hasexpanded. For the first time, theexpo will feature a significanthealth focus, with representativesfrom local hospitals attending tospeak about smoke-free air, med-ication disposal and more. Smithexplained another highlight ofthe event to be demonstrations,including cooking with local in-

    gredients and homemade electricvehicles. Visitors can participatein building their own electronicbicycle, sample local produce,

    join a hands-on workshop or do-

    nate an old bicycle to the TrentonBike Exchange.

    Visitors to the expo can alsotake the opportunity to utilize an

    Ask your Neighbor table to gaininsight from homeowners whohave successfully completed ener-gy-efficient home projects. Infor-mation will also be providedabout incentives for remodelingand home energy-efficiency fromNew Jersey Clean Energy.

    Many schools are working onreally exciting initiatives such asrecycling and energy efficiencyprojects, so that will be great forthe community to see, Smith

    said. Our goal is to keep expand-ing the event every year and con-tinue to keep it locally-centered.

    The event will take place from11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
