Red Bank Commissioners Get Confusing Budget That Would Raise Property Tax 40% - Unless Extra Spending Is Removed On 2nd Reading Wednesday, June 16, 2021 - by Gail Perry The Red Bank Commission meeting on Tuesday night was filled with confusion and discord. At the June 1 meeting the commission was given the fiscal year 2021-2022 budget just minutes before the meeting started and it included items that would have left the city with a $708,890 deficit. It failed to pass with only Mayor Hollie Berry and Vice Mayor Stefanie Dalton voting in favor. That budget proposal included curbside recycling, pay increases and free library cards for Red Bank residents, among other things.
