Mayor Reina is pleased to announce to the residents of Jackson Township that effective Friday, July 8, 2011 ALL Municipal Offices will return to their normal scheduled operating hours which are, Monday thru Friday 8:30am- 4:30pm. At the Township Council Meeting on June 28, 2011, the Council approved amendment #3 to the 2011 Budget. This amendment will be adopted at the July 5th meeting and will officially end the weekly furlough for employees. Mayor Reina states, “With cooperation from the Collective Bargaining Units, agreements have been reached which will afford the Township the ability to save jobs and eliminate the furloughs. With the furloughs behind us, we will be returning to the five day workweek, therefore allowing us to better service our residents. The furloughs were regrettably a difficult but necessary decision that was caused by increasing costs to the township and a loss of revenues. Unfortunately challenges such as those mentioned will still be with us until relief comes our way. But just as we have done in the past, we will continue to evaluate the ever changing economic landscape and look for all possible cost savings.” Mayor Reina would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during these tough times.
