Felcroft budget talks near balance with real estate tax plan
Felcroft Borough Council, seeking a balanced budget near completion, moved to raise the real estate transfer tax and impose a $50 license fee for milk trucks. A $5,000 cut in Police payroll and hiring limits were agreed, while a utility pole tax increase to at least $1 per pole was planned. The council also eyed reducing crossing guards and trimming the chief’s salary as it weighs public revenue against expenditures.
