ROXBURY, NJ – On the heels of the county commissioners introducing a budget that would require no county tax increase, Roxbury officials are edging in the same direction.

The $32.7 million township operating budget proposed in early February by Roxbury Township Manager John Shepherd would have entailed a municipal tax rate increase of 1.99 percent, equating to about $45 per year more for the owner of an average home.

But at a March 7 meeting of the Roxbury Mayor and Council, Shepherd said he and his staff have found some ways to reduce the proposed tax levy. Currently, the revised budget would require a tax increase of less than one percent, according to the manager.

“We started this process on my recommended tax increase of 1.99 percent and I mentioned, at that point, that the average homeowner in Roxbury would have a $45-per-year increase,” Shepherd told the council. “With the changes we’ve made in the budgets - increases and decreases - we’re down to a .74 percent increase at this point.”

Shepherd said the revised spending plan would result in a municipal tax increase of about $15 per year for the average homeowner. “And if we make some more changes, that number obviously could increase or decrease,” he said.

The biggest tax-related impact on Roxbury taxpayers will come from the school system budget. Typically, the school tax represents more than 60 percent of the total tax bill.

The school district has yet to introduce a proposed budget. Last year’s $83.8 million school budget, approved in late April, cost the owner of a $300,000 house $4,791, said Roxbury Schools Business Administrator Joseph Mondanaro.

That was a decrease from the $87 million 2021 budget costing that same homeowner $5,004, according to Mondanaro.

ROXBURY, NJ – An electronic sign at Horseshoe Lake Park in Succasunna will not be installed in the same place as the current sign, officials said last week in approving the $72,000 project.

Instead of being on the same “island” of land occupied by the current sign – a thin patch between the park's entrance and exit off Eyland Avenue – the new digital sign will be placed about 150 feet south.

Also, instead of being elevated like the current non-digital sign, the new one will be close to the ground; more at eye-level. The chosen placement will make the new sign more easily seen by motorists traveling in either direction on Eyland Avenue, officials said.

“A lot of time was spent on this, reviewing the actual sign for visibility and clarity but, most importantly, positioning on the road so that people could actually see it while traversing back and forth,” said Roxbury Councilman Fred Hall. “Tremendous efforts have been made to find a good location, and I think we have.”

The Roxbury Mayor and Council, at its Feb. 14 meeting, approved spending about $66,000 for the sign and up to about $6,600 for the electrical work related to its installation. The contract for the sign went to JCT Solutions through a cooperative purchasing agreement. The electrical work will be done by James A. Burke Electrical Contractors.

Roxbury Township Manager John Shepherd said money for the project was included in last year’s municipal budget. Roxbury Township Department of Public Works Director Rick Blood said the new sign should be installed in the spring.

Its function will be similar to that of the digital sign at the Roxbury Public Library, said officials, stressing that the display's brightness will be dimmed during the evening so it doesn't annoy nearby residents. They said the sign's uses will include announcing Roxbury Recreation Department sports signups, events in town, shows at the Roxbury Performing Arts Center and messages during emergencies.

“The sign at the library has been a huge success,” said Roxbury Councilman Bob DeFillippo. “This will be a tremendous enhancement to Horseshoe Lake.”

ROXBURY, NJ - A second meeting, this time virtual, has been scheduled by the Roxbury School District to gather public input about the ongoing search for a new schools superintendent, the district said today.

Just like the one that took place on March 9 at Eisenhower Middle School, the new session will be led by Charlene Peterson, field service representative for the New Jersey School Board's Association (NJSBA). It will take place virtually via Google Meet on March 22 at 7 p.m.

Those who want to "voice their opinions and suggestions regarding their vision for the future of the district and the criteria for selecting a new superintendent," can access the Google Meet here.

Peterson’s March 9 presentation was recorded, and a link provided on the district's Superintendent Search Public Information Page enabling those who could not attend to "still have the benefit of that information" before they take a community survey that" has been created, said the district.

"All stakeholders (students, parents, staff, and the community at large) are encouraged to complete the community input survey found online at www.roxbury.org/SuperSearch," it said. "The survey will close on Monday, March 27."

That's the same day the district plans to stop accepting applications for the superintendent job, a post being vacated by current Roxbury Schools Superintendent Loretta Radulic, who is retiring at the end of June.

The district is simultaneously updating its Strategic Plan. "District goals established each year for the next several years will be based on this plan," it said.

The Roxbury School District "has seen the successful implementation of many exciting innovations in recent years under the leadership of" Radulic, said the statement. “We encourage members from all segments of the Roxbury and Mt. Arlington communities to complete the community survey. Community input is vital to the establishment of the evaluation criteria for selection of a new superintendent and in shaping our vision for the future of the district,” said Roxbury Board of Education President Leo Coakley.

ROXBURY, NJ – The Roxbury school board hopes to choose by mid-April a replacement for retiring Roxbury School Superintendent Loretta Radulic, and it pledged Monday to listen to public advice during the selection process.

At its Monday meeting, the board accepted Radulic’s retirement notice. She will stay through the end of June.

“It has been my pleasure to serve as superintendent ,and my goal is to ensure I leave a strong legacy behind,” Radulic said at the meeting. “Therefore, it is important to me that the board and community have plenty of time to find a next superintendent … I am looking forward to the spring and enjoying my last months as superintendent.”

The board voted to pay $15,000 to the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA) to help in the superintendent search. The NJSBA will also help the board update the district’s strategic plan, said board president Leo Coakley.

Public Participation Promised

The board scheduled for March 9 a public meeting related to the superintendent search. The session will be attended by NJSBA Field Representative Charlene Peterson, who will explain the process and listen to public comments.

Coakley said part of that process will be the distribution of a survey to the public, a questionnaire that will help the NJSBA and the board hear what people in town want to see in a new superintendent.

He said the goal is to select a replacement for Radulic by mid-April and have the person in place by July 1. “But if more time is needed, then more time will be taken,” Coakley added. “I’d rather do it a little late and do it right than meet an arbitrary deadline.”

Radulic said

her replacement will come to a district that has seen many improvements over the years. “This is not the Roxbury of 2010, when I began here among staff cuts and program elimination,” she said. “It’s a better, stronger and more comprehensive instructional district.”

She stressed that she is retiring, not moving to another school superintendent position.

“I did not decide to retire lightly,” Radulic said. “I am not leaving for another district. Who can top this one? It is something I’ve been considering for a long while. I have often told people not to fear the next phase of one’s life, and it’s time to move toward my next adventure, whatever that may be. “

ROXBURY, NJ – Supporters of a Roxbury woman’s dream of opening a cannabis dispensary in Landing urged the Roxbury Mayor and Council on Tuesday to rescind its ordinance banning such businesses.

About 20 advocates of Ariel Mizrahi’s proposed Bud 2 Bloom dispensary showed up at the council’s “budget meeting,” a type of special session where town officials focus solely on poring over the proposed municipal budget. Budget meetings usually draw few, if any, members of the public.

But to many of those who came Tuesday, particularly Mizrahi, the budget meeting was seen as an appropriate venue for their plea. They said Roxbury, by banning cannabis businesses, was turning its back on a potentially significant source of revenue.

“I’d like to remind the council members that 64 percent of Roxbury residents voted in favor of legalizing cannabis,” said Mizrahi, a Roxbury High School graduate who has secured a conditional license from the state for Bud 2 Bloom. “If permitted to operate in Roxbury, I would be proud to see my business bring a 2 percent local tax ad to the local resources of the township.”

Mizrahi said the special tax assessed from her business could be earmarked for “important initiatives” that the council has not chosen to fund.

“For example, the Roxbury Arts Alliance has requested $2,000 to support the summer concert series, but it wasn’t included in the proposed 2023 operating budget due to limited resources,” she said. “That is the sort of initiative that could really use additional tax revenue, and cannabis businesses could generate that without any further tax burdens to our residents.”

The comments from Bud 2 Bloom’s advocates included several testimonials about the way cannabis products help them deal with medical issues.

“Ten years ago, I was in a bad car accident in town, and it ultimately left me permanently disabled with chronic pain,” said Gail Smith, who said she’s lived in Succasunna for about 30 years. “Every time I would have surgery or go for an appointment to the orthopedist and ask what I can do to relieve the pain … it was always opioids, it was always a painkiller or muscle relaxers.”

She said the only products that really help her are cannabis-based topical treatments, lozenges and chewables.

“The issue now is that I’m obviously still not cured and the nearest medical marijuana dispensary is a 45-minute drive away,” Smith said. “A lack of access to non-addictive pain relief alternatives affects me daily and would often result in large gaps in my pain relief because it was often too much for me to travel to a dispensary due to the pain.”

Mizrahi’s parents were among the dozen people who came to the microphone at the meeting. Her father, Scott Mizrahi, praised the council for taking “an initial, wait-and-see” approach about allowing cannabis businesses.

“Now that the state has issued complete regulations and we can see how the licensure processes are rolling out in other towns, I believe that the time has come for Roxbury to take the next step forward,” he said. “By allowing cannabis businesses to operate in Roxbury township, there are opportunities for economic development, beautification in communities and job creation.”

Other than thanking Mizrahi and her supporters for speaking in polite fashion, Roxbury Mayor Jim Rilee offered no thoughts on the request to rescind the anti-cannabis ordinance.

“I’ve known Ariel for a while now,” he said. “Her parents are here. She’s a very good person. Great person. Any decision we make, or not make, is not related to Ariel as a person,” he stressed.
