Board of Commissioners Approves First Reading of 2013 Township Budget

 

At our November 19, 2013 meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved the first reading of the Township's 2013 Budget totaling $37,027,312.00. The Budget includes a 4.52 percent tax increase, which is less than anticipated; the original budget presented to the Board in October included an increase of approximately 6 percent, which the Township staff reduced. The major reasons for the tax increase are the following:

 

* 41% ($180,000) increase for Delaware County Waste management fee
* 3.25% ($202,465) wage increase for uniformed personnel
* 4.0% ($609,774) wage increase for non-uniformed personnel
* 2.5% ($300,412) increase in medical benefits
* 100% ($50,000) increase for leaf removal

* 7% ($130,642) for the new Recreation Center/Services

 

I will keep you informed about the progress of the Budget, with final approval at our December 10, 2012 meeting.
