El Condado de Union Destaca el Progreso Sustancial en el Éxito Fiscal con una Notable Disminución en la Deuda a Largo Plazo

En una notable muestra de prudencia financiera y gestión estratégica, la Junta de Comisionados del Condado de Union y el Administrador del Condado Ed Oatman, anuncian con orgullo una reducción sustancial de la deuda a largo plazo en decenas de millones de dólares. Este logro es un testimonio del compromiso del condado con las políticas fiscales responsables y la administración diligente de los recursos de los contribuyentes.

“Durante los últimos seis años, el Condado de Union ha escogido un camino de prudencia financiera al pagar consistentemente la deuda en capital en lugar de recurrir a la emisión de nueva deuda,” dijo la Comisionada Presidenta Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded.  “Este enfoque estratégico refleja el compromiso del condado de reducir las cargas financieras y al mismo tiempo garantizar un futuro económico estable y seguro para sus residentes.”

Nueva Jersey exige que los condados se adhieran a un límite máximo de deuda neta del 2% de un promedio de 3 años del valor tasado total igualado. En el 2013, la deuda neta del Condado de Union se situó en .87% del valor tasado igualado, mientras que, al cierre del 2023, había disminuido significativamente a .57%, mostrando un cambio encomiable en 10 años de una reducción del 34%, equivalente a $46.57 millones. Es importante destacar que la mayor parte de esta reducción de la deuda se ha logrado desde 2018, lo que pone de relieve los esfuerzos centrados en la sostenibilidad financiera de los últimos años.

Cabe destacar que el valor tasado igualado promedio del Condado de Union ha experimentado un crecimiento sustancial durante el mismo período de 10 años, pasando de $66.02 mil millones en el 2013 a la impresionante cifra de $91.25 mil millones. Esta tendencia al alza refleja no solo la vitalidad económica del condado, sino también su capacidad para manejar los desafíos fiscales de manera efectiva.

“Los últimos logros fiscales del Condado de Union resaltan un patrón consistente de administración financiera responsable, estableciendo un alto estándar para los municipios de todo el estado,” dijo el Administrador del Condado Ed Oatman. “Al celebrar la reducción de la deuda a largo plazo, anticipamos un éxito continuo en el sostenimiento de una comunidad vibrante y financieramente sólida para el beneficio de todos los residentes del Condado de Union.”

Durante los últimos años, el Condado de Union también ha mantenido una calificación de Bonos Aaa, que fue reafirmada por Moody’s Investor Services en 2023 y el Condado continúa manteniendo su sólida posición financiera mirando hacia el 2024 y más allá. Una calificación de Aaa es la más alta que puede lograr el Gobierno del Condado.  De hecho, el sólido desempeño financiero del Condado y la calificación de Bonos AAA se atribuyen a su impulso hacia la eficiencia operativa y las prácticas presupuestarias conservadoras.

“El éxito financiero del condado no solo es evidente en puntos porcentuales, sino también en valores tangibles en dólares”. Este anuncio representa un equipo de administración del condado fuerte y trabajador”, dijo la Comisionada Rebecca Williams, Presidenta del Comité Fiscal. “El trabajo del Administrador del Condado, el Departamento de Finanzas y mis colegas en la Junta de Comisionados del Condado, continúan comprometidos a hacer el mejor uso de los dólares de los contribuyentes y este es un verdadero testimonio de eso. Estoy increíblemente orgulloso de la capacidad del Condado para ofrecer estos resultados.”

La Junta de Comisionados del Condado de Union anuncia el regreso del remolque móvil Fresh Start. La temporada 2024 comenzará con su primera visita a la Biblioteca Pública de Elizabeth el jueves 4 de abril, de 10:00 a.m. a 1:00 p.m. Las duchas, la lavandería y los baños están disponibles por orden de llegada. El programa incluye personal del Departamento de Servicios Humanos del Condado de Union, quienes brindan orientación en persona sobre programas y recursos adicionales que ayudan a fomentar la autosuficiencia.

“Nos complace anunciar el regreso de nuestro programa Fresh Start para la temporada 2024”, dijo la Comisionada Presidenta Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “Este programa móvil fue creado para mejorar aún más la salud pública y la higiene entre quienes carecen de un refugio adecuado y es un verdadero testimonio de nuestro compromiso de derribar barreras y brindar servicios esenciales directamente a nuestras comunidades.”

El Departamento de Servicios Humanos lanzó Fresh Start en 2021 como el primer programa de su tipo, en reconocimiento de la necesidad de reducir los costos de viaje, las limitaciones de tiempo y otras barreras que impiden que las personas aprovechen los recursos en ubicaciones centralizadas. El programa brinda servicios básicos de cuidado personal a las personas en sus comunidades.

La pieza central de Fresh Start es un remolque móvil equipado con unidades de baño y ducha, así como instalaciones de lavandería. El tráiler sirve como portal y plataforma de contacto para una serie de recursos que conducen a la autosuficiencia, incluidos refugios de emergencia y ropa, además de recursos continuos que incluyen asistencia para la salud mental, la vivienda y el empleo.

“Fresh Start ejemplifica nuestra dedicación a crear autosuficiencia y brindar una mano donde más se necesita,” dijo el comisionado Sergio Granados, enlace con el Consejo Asesor de Servicios Humanos. “La unidad móvil ha demostrado ser invaluable para las personas que carecen de acceso constante a la higiene y a los servicios esenciales. El programa también integra a los proveedores de la comunidad, ofreciendo recursos como oportunidades de empleo y servicios de apoyo, cruciales para ayudar a las personas a recuperar la estabilidad y seguir un camino hacia la independencia.”

Fresh Start coordina una amplia variedad de recursos dentro del gobierno del Condado, incluyendo la División de Alcance y Defensa, la División de Servicios Sociales y la División de Servicios de Apoyo Individual y Familiar, en coordinación con socios comunitarios que incluyen:

Union County Highlights Substantial Progress in Fiscal Success With Noteworthy Decrease in Long-Term Debt

In a remarkable display of financial prudence and strategic management, the Union County Board of County Commissioners and County Manager Ed Oatman, proudly announces a substantial reduction in long-term debt by tens of millions of dollars. This achievement is a testament to the county’s commitment to responsible fiscal policies and diligent stewardship of taxpayer resources.

“Over the past six years, Union County has chosen a path of financial prudence by consistently paying off debt in principal rather than resorting to the issuance of new debt,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded.  “This strategic approach reflects the county’s commitment to reducing financial burdens while ensuring a stable and secure economic future for its residents.”

New Jersey mandates that counties adhere to a maximum net debt limit of 2% of a 3-year average of the total equalized assessed value. In 2013, Union County’s net debt stood at .87% of equalized assessed value, while at the close of 2023, it had significantly decreased to .57%, showcasing a commendable 10-year change of a 34% reduction, equivalent to $46.57 million. Importantly, the majority of this debt reduction has been achieved since 2018, highlighting recent years’ focused efforts on financial sustainability.

It is noteworthy that Union County’s average equalized assessed value has experienced substantial growth over the same 10-year period, rising from $66.02 billion in 2013 to an impressive $91.25 billion. This upward trend reflects not only the county’s economic vitality but also its ability to manage fiscal challenges effectively.

“Union County’s latest fiscal achievements highlight a consistent pattern of responsible financial management, setting a high standard for municipalities across the state,” said County Manager Ed Oatman. “As we celebrate the reduction of long-term debt, we anticipate continued success in sustaining a vibrant, financially sound community for the benefit of all Union County residents.”

For the past several years, Union County has also maintained a Aaa bond rating, which was reaffirmed by Moody’s Investor Services in 2023 and the County continues to maintain its strong financial position looking forward through 2024 and beyond. A rating of Aaa is the highest a county government can achieve.  In fact, the County’s strong financial performance and AAA bond rating are attributed to its push toward operating efficiency and conservative budgeting practices.

“The county’s financial success is not only evident in percentage points but also in tangible dollar values,”  This announcement represents a strong and hardworking county management team,” said Commissioner Rebecca Williams, Chair of the Fiscal Committee. “The work of the County Manager, Finance Department and my colleagues on Board of County Commissioners, continue to remain committed to making the best use of taxpayer dollars and this is a true testament of that. I am incredibly proud of the County’s ability to deliver these results.”

Union County’s “Fresh Start” Program Returns April 4th

The Union County Board of County Commissioners announce the return of the Fresh Start mobile trailer. The 2024 season will begin with its first visit to the Elizabeth Public Library on Thursday, April 4th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The shower, laundry and restroom facilities are available on a first come, first served basis.

The centerpiece of Fresh Start is a mobile trailer equipped with bathroom and shower units as well as laundry facilities. The trailer serves as a portal and contact platform for a continuum of resources leading to self-sufficiency, including emergency shelter and clothing in addition to ongoing resources including mental health, housing, and employment assistance.

“Fresh Start exemplifies our dedication to creating self-sufficiency and providing a helping hand where it is needed most,” said Commissioner Sergio Granados, Liaison to the Human Services Advisory Council. “The mobile unit has proven invaluable for individuals lacking consistent access to hygiene and essential services. The program also integrates community providers, offering resources like employment opportunities and supportive services, crucial in helping individuals regain stability and pursue a path towards independence.”

Fresh Start coordinates a wide variety resources within County government including the Division of Outreach & Advocacy, Division of Social Services, and the Division of Individual & Family Support Services, in coordination with community partners including:

  • Bridgeway Rehabilitation Services
  • Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless
  • Family Promise (Headquarters & Union County office)

Union County Launches Radon Action Month With Free Test Kits & Awareness Campaign

The Union County Board of County Commissioners, in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Radon Program, has announced that March is designated Radon Action Month. Beginning this March, the County of Union will provide free radon test kits and share information on radon safety and awareness with residents.

“As we announce Radon Action Month, we want to take this opportunity to recognize the potential health risks associated with radon and address them proactively. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. The commissioners and I are deeply committed to working together with our residents to detect and eliminate the invisible danger that may potentially enter their homes,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “We strongly encourage all residents to use our free test kits. By taking these necessary steps, we can achieve the common goal of safeguarding the health and well-being of our loved ones from this invisible and hazardous gas.”

Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally when uranium and radium break down in the soil and rock formations. It is invisible and odorless. Radon gas moves up through the soil and finds its way into homes through cracks in the foundation and openings around pumps, pipes, and drains.

Radon is measured in picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) of air. The average U.S. indoor level is 1.3 pCi/L. At 4 pCi/L, the risk of lung cancer from radon is greater than the risk from fire or other home accidents. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the DEP recommend that action be taken to reduce radon levels if the level in the home is greater than or equal to 4 pCi/L.

Testing for radon is simple and inexpensive. Certified radon measurement businesses provide testing services or do-it-yourself test kits. Test kits can also be obtained from many hardware stores, home improvement stores, or by contacting the Union County Department of Public Safety, Division of Health at 908-518-5620 or 908-654-9730. 

If the test indicates a radon problem, radon mitigation systems can be installed at a cost similar to other home repairs.

For more information on radon or how to receive your free test kit, contact the Union County Department of Public Safety, Division of Health at 908-518-5620 or 908-654-9730.

For more information about the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Radon Program, call (800) 648-0394 or visit www.njradon.org.
