SANATOGA PA – The annual budget package for Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township actually consists of six separate budgets:
- the general fund, for daily township operations;
- the sewer fund and the sewer capital fund, for operations of the Township Authority;
- street lights, because a separate fee is imposed upon property owners who benefit from street lighting;
- the state fund, which covers costs and reimbursements for township maintenance (primarily snow plowing) of state-owned roads;
- and park and recreation operations.
Below is a summary, prepared by township staff, of the tentative 2011 township budget(s), as a well as a comparison to adopted budgets of the previous four years (2007-2010). It’s intended to give the township Board of Commissioners and the public an overall idea of what it costs to run the municipal government, and it also offers a hint at trends from previous years.
The budget is due for commissioners’ final approval next month (December 2010), and budget documents are available now for public inspection during regular business hours at the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA.
