Municipal

The West Windsor Sun
Earlier this month, West Wind-
sor Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh sub-
mitted his proposal for the 2013
Municipal Operating Budget to
the Township Council for review.
In the executive summary, the
mayor detailed the process in-
volved with putting together the
budget.
Long before we began work-
ing on actual numbers, our Exec-
utive Team consisting of the busi-
ness administrator, the chief fi-
nancial officer, and the depart-
ment heads met with me on nu-
merous occasions to develop a
strategy on how to approach this
years municipal budget, the
summary reads.
Hsueh also noted that he incor-
porated discussions with mem-
bers of Council, and took their
comments into consideration
when forming the proposal.
Forecasted expenditures for
2013 total $37,310,000, which is
$7,000 less than the total expendi-

tures of 2012.
According to the proposal, rev-
enue dropped $425,803 from 2012
to 2013, resulting in a municipal
tax levy of $418,803 or a raise of
1.88 percent.
As a result of the increase, the
proposed tax levy should equate
to a municipal tax increase of ap-
proximately $36 for the average
home in West Windsor, which is
assessed at $523,950.
Im happy to say that with
good management and efficiency,
we were able to bring this down to
a minimal increase, Hsueh said.
Last year there were a lot of
services we had to provide with
the cleanup of Hurricane Sandy
and a lot of emergency situations.
Were still coming back from
that.
Hsueh said he was particularly
pleased by the $7,000 in cuts the
township was able to make to ex-
penditures.
Even with the hurricane and
the subsequent cleanup, we were
able to save that money, Hsueh
said. I think thats very impres-
sive. There were many communi-
ties and municipalities that had
to borrow money for the cleanup.
Not only did West Windsor not
have to borrow money, we were
still able to cut expenditures.
The proposed budget, with an
increase of 1.88 percent, is within
the state-mandated cap of a 2 per-
cent increase.
Hsueh said he is confident that
the recovering economy will have
a positive impact on the Town-
ships budgets in the coming
years, but that the significant
drop in revenue was a difficult
hurdle.
The economy seems to be re-
covering, and hopefully this year
well go back up, he said. But
last year was the biggest drop in
revenue the Township has seen.
Council will review the budget
proposal and discuss it in public
sessions in the coming weeks.
Hsueh said he hopes budget delib-
erations will progress smoothly,
and that Council will pass the
budget prior to the April dead-
line.
Its up to Council to take the
next steps and to determine if
there will be modification or
changes, Hsueh said. I expect
there will be an introduction, and
that the Council will soon work
out a schedule to get this done be-
fore April.
Proposed budget is under mandated
cap at 1.88 percent increase

The West Windsor Sun
The Institute for Islamic Stud-
ies presented preliminary plans
for a new mosque to the Site Plan
Review Advisory Board on Feb.
11.
The meeting was the second re-
view of the plans for the mosque,
which the Institute proposes to
construct on Old Trenton Road,
near the intersection of Route
571.
At the Feb. 11 meeting, the In-
stitute received official approval
for a land use variance. The prop-
erty was originally zoned for re-
search, office and recreational fa-
cilities, but the newly approved
variance permits a religious facil-
ity on the site.
Theyve now had two meet-
ings before the site plan board,
said Sam Surtees, land use man-
ager for West Windsor Township.
And they are scheduled to go
back before the Zoning Board on
March 7. The board will review
the site plan and approve or deny
it. Assuming its approved, theyll
be able to begin obtaining per-
mits to start construction.
Surtees said that, pending ap-
proval, he expects to see construc-
tion begin in the fall.
The Institute presented a near-
ly complete plan to the Site Plan
Board, and Surtees said it was re-
vised to reflect the previous con-
cerns of board members.
The plan we saw at the second
meeting was pretty much com-
plete, Surtees said. It met all the
concerns members brought up in
reports. The Institute has met on
several occasions with homeown-
ers at the Elements, the develop-
ment adjacent to the property,
and they addressed the concerns
of those residents as well.
Surtees said the only major
concerns were in regard to traffic
and parking at the site, which is
close to both residential neigh-
borhoods and a major intersec-
tion.
They indicated that typically
when the township does traffic
analysis they typically are look-
ing at peak hours, Surtees said.
Their worshipping is typically
on a Saturday, or during the work
week in the afternoon, around 1
or 2 oclock. When this facility is
used at its fullest, its not going to
be rush hour. The parking they
plan to include should be more
than adequate.
The plans for the mosque indi-
cate a two-story building with a
total of 30,000 square feet. There
will also be a full basement used
for storage purposes. The concept
also includes plans for parking,
landscaping and buffering to ad-
jacent properties, specifically the
nearby retirement community.
Representatives of the Insti-
tute of Islamic Studies did not re-
turn requests for comment by
press time.
The construction of the
mosque will include widening
Old Trenton Road in front of the
seven-acre property.
West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu
Hsueh said he is excited at the
prospect of a new mosque being
constructed in West Windsor, and
he feels it will greatly benefit the
community.
They indicated to me that as
part of the mosque, theyll have a
clinical medical office of some
kind, Hsueh said. Theyll try to
offer help to the community. That
is going to be something I feel
very good about.
Hsueh said he is confident that
the project will receive the ap-
proval of the Council-appointed
Zoning Board members, and he
appreciates that the planning
process for the project has been
very open.
I think the community is very
comfortable with this project,
which blends into the diversity of
our community very nicely,
Hsueh said. The open conversa-
tion helps the whole community
to come together. And that is the
goal. In West Windsor, we all have
different backgrounds and we all
have different exteriors. When we
have that open dialogue it facili-
tates mutual understanding.

The New Jersey State League
of Municipalities inducted Mayor
Shing-Fu Hsueh into the Elected
Officials Hall of Fame during the
Twenty-First Annual Mayors
Legislative Day held on Wednes-
day, Feb. 6, at the State House
Annex in Trenton.
The honor is reserved for local
municipal governing body mem-
bers who, as of December 2012,
served for more than 20 years in
elected municipal office. Hsueh
has served West Windsor Town-
ship for 20 years.
The president of the State
League of Municipalities, Mayor
Janice S. Mironov of East Wind-
sor Township, said, The Elected
Officials Hall of Fame recognizes
these officials who have selflessly
guided their communities
through the good times and diffi-
cult times often with little
recognition of their public serv-
ice.
This small token of apprecia-
tion focuses a light on their sacri-
fices over lengthy tenures,
demonstrating how much they
care and serving as excellent ex-
amples of civic pride for all citi-
zens to emulate.
There are currently 510 in-
ductees in the Elected Officials
Hall of Fame, which can be
viewed at [Link].
As part of the days events, pre-
sentations were made by key leg-
islators.

Derzu Uzala, a 1975 Soviet-
Japanese co-production directed
by Akira Kurosawa, which won
the Grand Prix at the Moscow
Film Festival and the 1975 Oscar
for Best Foreign Language Film,
will be screened on Saturday,
March 9, at 7:30 p.m. at the West
Windsor Arts Center, 952 Alexan-
der Road, Princeton Junction.
Based on the 1923 memoir
Dersu Uzala by Russian explor-
er Vladimir Arsenyev, the film is
about Arsenyevs multiple expe-
ditions to explore the Sikhote-
Alin region of Siberia during the
early 20th century.
As Kurosawas first non-Japan-
ese-language film and his only
70mm film, this production is al-
most entirely shot outdoors in the
Siberian wilderness. The film ex-
plores the predicament of an in-
habitant of the forests who is
fully integrated into this environ-
ment, leading a style of life that
will inevitably be destroyed by
the advance of civilization. It is
also about the evolving respect
and deep friendship between two
men of profoundly different back-
grounds, and about the difficulty
of coping with the loss of
strength and ability that comes
with old age.
Born in St. Petersburg, Russia,
Irina Patkanian is an award-win-
ning filmmaker, professor of film
production at the City University
of New York, and the president of
In Parenthesis, a nonprofit film
and theater company. She is cur-
rently working on the stop mo-
tion animation/documentary
about Mozambican artist Fiel dos
Santos funded by New York Coun-
cil of the Arts and Troy founda-
tions; and a documentary feature
about Kamchatka, Russia, funded
by Blaustein and Jerome Founda-
tions grants. In the spring of 2012
she was a awarded a Fulbright fel-
lowship to do research for her
next film in Istanbul, Turkey.
Patkanian will lead a discus-
sion on the featured film and will
share her experience directing/
producing a film with the U.S. Di-
rector of Photography Stephen
Ross in the Russian Far East.
The film is rated G for gener-
al audiences. The admission
charge is $7/$6 members. Tickets
will be available at the door. Free
event parking. For directions,

Economic development in Mer-
cer County, maximizing the im-
pact of upcoming sporting events

doing business in Mercer County.
Both addresses will focus on busi-
ness development in Mercer
County and how this positions
the region for growth in the com-
ing year.

of the founding of Mercer County
and look back on our historic con-
tributions to this nation our bat-
tles and triumphs I am encour-
aged by the signs of progress here

this difficult economy, said
Hughes.
Mercer County is bringing in
new business. Its brought Sparta
Systems into Robbinsville in the
third quarter of 2012, Amazon
has announced plans to locate in
Robbinsville in 2014 and Shiseido
is expanding in East Windsor,
said Peter Crowley, president and

tier Airlines has already estab-
lished themselves as a regional

ings at the Trenton Mercer Air-
port, making travel to and from

ier and more convenient.
Retail and hospitality sectors
are also seeing growth in the re-
gion, with the Quakerbridge and
MarketFair Malls both adding
new stores, and new restaurants
and hotels opening throughout
the area.
In his keynote, Flynn will em-
phasize the role that local employ-
ers play in building a vibrant
economy, providing jobs across a
spectrum of skill sets, and re-
bounding from devastating
events such as Tropical Storm
Irene and Superstorm Sandy.

I
f you sit on a school board or mu-
nicipal governing body, youre en-
tering the part of the year that
probably causes you the most
headaches. Its budget time. Its time to
do the impossible: provide outstanding
service for little or no money.
A few years ago, Gov. Christie made
headlines and more than a few ene-
mies when he slashed state funding
and eventually added a 2 percent cap
on tax hikes.
Since then, at least some of the
money has returned. Later this month,
the governor will release state funding
figures for this year.
But its safe to say that no district or
town will find itself rolling in dough.
Governing bodies will continue to face
decisions that involve reducing or
holding the line on services and/or
raising taxes.
One bright spot some would say
the only bright spot to come of this is
that many governing bodies these days
have made the budget process open to
the public. Transparent is the watch-
word today.
Its a smart move to involve the pub-
lic everyone from those who want to
cut taxes to the bone to those who
would like to see expanded services.
When the public is invited in, they
not only see the difficult choices lead-
ers have to make, but they also feel like
they have a voice. Leaders are listening
to them. Their input is valued. While
not everyone will be happy with every
decision, at least there is a sense of in-
clusion and ownership of the
process.
We encourage everyone to get in-
volved with their local budget process-
es this year. In most instances, there
will be hearings. Items will be posted
online. Its easy to offer your sugges-
tions to the people who eventually will
make the final decision.
And, chances are, your feedback will
be appreciated.
in our opinion
Budget time
Its that time of year again when tough decisions have to be made
Get involved
Think taxes are too high? Think servic-
es have been cut too deeply? Now is
the time to make your voice heard. Its
budget season, and most local govern-
ing bodies have ways to involve the
public in the decision-making process.
So speak up before the final votes are
counted.

Why not build veterans park
to honor those who served?
The plans to build a pocket park next
to the new 7-11 in West Windsor have come
to the forefront recently in the publics at-
tention.
After having attended the informational
meeting, it seems to me that this 1.5 acre
park will not only require a considerable
amount to build ($200,000-$300,000 estimat-
ed), but will also require significant funds
for indefinite upkeep and maintenance.
The plans that were presented at the meet-
ing were all based on hypothetical dona-
tions, as our mayor claims that no tax dol-
lars have or will be used to fund this park.
Not only has the mayor already spent tax
dollars for the West Windsor landscape ar-
chitect to draw up the plans and do the re-
search, but I am sure that nobody really be-
lieves that such a park will never need tax-
payer support. The only donations re-
ceived to date have been in the form of
trees and landscaping materials.
What is difficult to understand is the
reason this park was designated an Asian
park, and who made that decision. At the
last Council meeting Mr. Maher expressed
his opinion that it would be better to build
a park that honors the ethnic diversity of
all Americans, rather than honoring only
one specific ethnic group. He was immedi-
ately accused by some as racist but I be-
lieve his critics, in their rush to judgment,
completely missed the point and meaning
of his statement. Do not all of us who hold
American citizenship consider ourselves
to be Americans, first and foremost, re-
gardless of the nationality of our ances-
tors? And if Mr. Maher is being called a
racist for expressing his opinion as an
American, then what can be said about a
mayor who is pandering to the 40 percent
Asian population in West Windsor for their
votes? Is this not also a form of racism?
My suggestion is that West Windsor
build a veterans park, like so many other
towns across this country, to honor those of
any and all ethnic backgrounds, who have
served, fought and died to preserve our
great American melting pot.
Thanks for your consideration.

The West Windsor-Plainsboro
Board of Education voted recent-
ly to move school elections to No-
vember.
The state gave all school dis-
tricts the option to move their
elections last year, in a move in-
tended to reduce costs for the dis-
tricts and increase voter turnout.
Last year, under deadline, the
West Windsor Board of Educa-
tion voted not to move the elec-
tions, citing concerns about po-
tential negative effects.
According to reports from the
board, polling in April costs be-
tween $30,000 and $40,000.
West Windsor-Plainsboro is the
last district in Mercer County to
make the switch to November
elections. It is now locked into the
agreement for a minimum of four
years. The current board mem-
bers will serve an additional six
months.
Residents will no longer have
an opportunity to vote to approve
or deny the school board
budget, which is still due in the
spring, if the budget is under the
2 percent tax hike cap.
At the Jan. 29 meeting at the
Community Middle School, mem-
bers of the board said they would
spend no less time on the budget
process, but that time saved try-
ing to convince the public to ap-
prove the budget would be devot-
ed to other educational matters.
