2020 Budget

The 2020 budget was passed at the December 19th Board of Commissioners meeting. Information on the budgets can be found here:

The 2020 millage rate is set at 5.731 mills. This 2.56% increase from the 2019 rate is the lowest increase in the last four years and was largely driven by several contractual cost increases.
The new 5.731 millage equates to an increase of $25 for a home at the Township’s average assessment.
Some highlights of the 2020 budget include:
- Salaries for the Township police, public works and administrative employees will rise by 3%.
- The Township was able to increase its contribution to the Furness Library
- The Township will spend $120,000 in 2020 as “matches” for a series of grant-funded projects. These projects involve the installation of sidewalks and improvements to the Summit School site and Furness Park and have a total projected cost of $2.8 million.
