The Board of Supervisors held its fourth budget workshop, focusing on the Liquid Fuels Fund and Emergency Medical Services funding. The finance director presented packets for the 2017 preliminary budgets for the Local Services Tax Fund, Liquid Fuels Fund, Capital Reserve Fund, and Capital Projects Summary. The finance director reviewed the Local Services Tax Fund, noting that Ordinance No. 58 established a $52 occupation tax, with $47 going to the township and $5 to the school district, and that 25% of collections must be spent on public safety. For the Liquid Fuels Fund, the finance director explained that state law requires a separate account for gasoline tax revenues, which are distributed based on the township’s 72.7 miles of improved roads and population of 24,185. The finance director estimated 2017 Liquid Fuels Tax receipts at $662,199, a 2.5% increase from 2016, plus $7,720 in Turnback money under Act 32, for a recommended total of $669,919. The finance director then detailed changes to the Capital Projects Summary. For Facilities, the finance director added $115,000 for a Siren Site Radio Equipment Building and $50,000 for library flooring and carpeting, plus $60,000 for relocating MCA-TV if the Community Services building is sold. The Fire Department increased its thermal imaging cameras from two to four. The Engineering Department raised the MS4 Permit Application cost to $24,000. Parks saw changes to park lighting, a sand volleyball court and lights, fence improvements at Whispering Woods and Krane, Loch Shin Playground, and Park Information Center upgrades. No changes were made for Police, Emergency Management, Public Works, or MCA-TV. The recommended Capital Reserve Fund expenses totaled $4,458,539, with an estimated year-end balance of $2,198,242.53.
