Council members in Hazleton upheld the estimated $12.5 million spending plan that they adopted earlier this month and made assurances that the city will restore funds that were cut from the police budget.
Council upheld three ordinances that are key to shaping the 2021 budget, as the governing body cast three consecutive votes to override the mayorâs veto of a budget appropriations ordinance and ordinances that set the property tax rate and levy the mercantile tax.
The votes essentially uphold the budget that council adopted in mid-December, which increases the millage rate by 9.7%, or from 6.18 mills this year to 6.78 mills in 2021.
HAZLETON, Pa. â Hazleton City Council voted down three mayoral vetoes on Tuesday night, leaving in place a 9.7% increase in property tax for 2021.Â
Last week, Mayor Jeff Cusat vetoed the budget because of an issue with police funding. He also vetoed the ordinance setting the property tax at 6.78 mills, up from 6.18. Cusat had sought a bigger increase in his draft budget.Â
Cusat said in his veto statement that cuts in the police budget could threaten eligibility for a federal Community Oriented Policing Services grant that would pay for four more officers.  Â
Council unanimously struck down the budget and millage vetoes.Â
Council President James Perry said the police funding issue could be resolved with financial transfers, not a new budget. The city s goal is to boost the force to 46 officers from 42. Â
Hazleton Mayor Jeff Cusat hasnât given up on the possibility of scrapping a mercantile tax that he contends is outdated and unfriendly to business and development.
While city council members donât disagree with the mayorâs views about the tax, they want to know how he intends to replace some $450,000 in revenue from it.
Council narrowly passed an ordinance late last week that allows the city to reenact the mercantile tax in 2021, but the legislation could have a short shelf life.
âIâm strongly considering a veto,â Cusat said Monday.
Cusat, however, gave no formal time frame for when he could issue that veto and said that heâd have to investigate whether a payroll tax that Hazletonâs Act 47 coordinators mentioned in the cityâs recovery plan is a viable alternative.
