Lower Pottsgrove's municipal building.
SANATOGA PA – Members of the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners’ budget committee apparently need more time to consider recommendations for next year’s spending plan.
The committee intended to meet twice – Oct. 4 and 18 – on Tuesday afternoons this month, Manager Rodney Hawthorne announced earlier. Another date, Oct. 27 (2011; Thursday), now is also scheduled, according to an advertisement today (Oct. 19) in The (Pottstown PA) Mercury newspaper, the municipality’s publication of record for legal notices.
The next meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Sanatoga PA. Those discussions are separate from the full board’s regular monthly meetings. Committee sessions in years past have run for as little as one hour and as long and 2-1/2 hours.
Work on the budget has been under way for several weeks. The spending plan must be approved by commissioners before year’s end; public discussions on the document usually are held in late November or early December.
Although the notice does not specifically invite public input during the committee’s meetings, comments likely will not be denied, either.
