On the Budget web page, we strive to put the numbers into context in the 600+ pages of the Borough budget. Posted here are approved Borough budgets dating back to 2007 and CAFRs, also known as an audit, dating back to 2009.
A one-hour video, separated into chapters of the items you want to view, is posted here with the Mayor and Attorney conversationally discussing the parts of the budget. This video examines a past budget from 2015 and is merely an example of an anatomy of a budget. The numbers have changed.
Budget communications between staff and Manager and Manager and Assembly & Mayor are posted here. The Borough may be the only municipality posting such internal communications and has been doing so for some five years. Among the items each year, you will also find external publications such as all departments' pdf presentations and Manager presentations to the Assembly.
A good way to begin with a 30,000-foot view is to read the opening letter in budgets from the finance director and manager.
