HOBOKEN — The Hoboken City Council will hold a special meeting this Saturday. The mayor will again try to get the council to pass temporary appropriations until the final city budget is approved (which should happen in early April). However, the mayor’s adversaries on the council have been voting down the measure at the last few meetings. The mayor has said that this will make it difficult to pay lawyers and other city vendors.
Meanwhile, the council recently introduced the city’s calendar year 2012 budget at $102.3 million, which keeps taxes stable. The city will hold budget workshops with varoius departments on Saturday to go over the document. The final vote will take place at a meeting in early April.
