Palmer has three-year plan for budget By Keith Lobdell

Prevention Team hosts conference

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — With a little pain now, Essex County Manager Daniel Palmer believes he can present a budget that consistently meets the state’s two-percent tax levy cap starting in 2015. Getting there will not be easy, though. “We are in a position where the budget has become so lean the following year is a problem,” Palmer said during a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors Nov. 7. “We are looking at a three year plan to balance the budget so we can deliver a budget that does not overly rely on the use of fund balance and can be within the cap.” Under Palmer ’s plan, the proposed 2013 tax levy would be $20,576,274, a 26percent increase from 2012 ($16,276,443).

“We have had some really ideal conditions so far for snowmaking,” Lundin said. “We have built up some snow on the Lower Valley of Whiteface. The weather has been more cooperative this year.” Whiteface has also expanded their snowmaking abilities. Snowmaking has been added to the Hoyt’s High Trail, a new Pisten-

bully 600 W groomer and several new low-energy snowmaking guns have also been purchased. There have also been renovations to Base Camp Market (formerly the Base Camp Café) and Cloudspin Lounge, both located in the mountain’s base lodge.
