6 issues in taxes budget with medium priority
Veteran Tax Exemptions and Refunds
A new policy makes the township cancel taxes effective from the exemption date when a totally disabled veteran's application is approved, giving qualifying veterans their full relief.
2026 Municipal Service Contracts
The consent agenda locks in year contracts for landscaping materials, dumpster services, lawn maintenance, concrete repairs and storm drain repairs — the routine work that keeps parks, roads and cleanup services running.
2026 Temporary Appropriations
The Committee moved $505,000 between 2025 budget reserves to pay bills that arrived without purchase orders late in the year, and passed emergency temporary appropriations to keep the township funded until the full 2026 budget is adopted. This is standard year-end cleanup, not new spending.
2026 Country Club fees set; course revenue offsets taxes
The township set all golf course prices for the 2026-27 season — memberships run $1,389 for residents versus $3,500 for non-residents, and greens fees range from $41 to $68 in season. Rates can swing up to 20% daily under dynamic pricing, so the posted price isn't always the price you'll pay.
Culture Transformation Contract with DillonMarcus
The township is spending up to $75,000 on a year-long internal culture program for township employees through a Cherry Hill firm, awarded without competitive bidding as a unique professional service.
CY 2026 budget cap bank
The township is reserving the right to spend up to 3% more than last year's budget instead of the state's default 2% cap — banking about $418,000 in flexibility it can use over the next two budget years if needed.
