Swatara Township Board Of Commissioners Budget Workshop Minutes

The Board of Commissioners conducted a budget workshop to discuss various departmental financial plans. The session included a review of the Police Budget, where the Director proposed a 7.7% increase driven by contractual obligations and the need for an additional civilian employee, while noting grant-funded K-9 unit plans and technology upgrades. Other agenda items involved the review of the Business Privilege Tax Budget, reflecting a 5.4% increase due to healthcare costs; the Administration Budget, showing a 1.3% increase for equipment upgrades; and the Tax Collector's account, which remained unchanged. The commissioners also discussed rising healthcare costs and general inflation impacts.
