The Township Committee will vote on the salary increases for all municipal employees through 2012 at its next meeting.

The ordinance covering the salary increases was introduced at the last meeting, and it includes the new settled union contracts. The negotiated increases for the union is 3.5 percent for 2010, 2011 and 2012. The salary increases are broken up into six month intervals, which provides some savings.
