Annual Budget

Each year, the Borough Council is required by the Pennsylanvia Borough Code to adopt an annual budget for the coming year by December 31. The annual budget process starts well before that date however. By fall of each year, Borough staff will work with both the Borough Council and its Finance Committee to create a draft annual budget, including multiple work sessions on the various funds (such as the General and Liquid Fuels Funds) that compose the budget. The culimination of this drafting process will be the Proposed Budget, which Council will approve for advertisement, usually by November of each year. After the legal requirements for public notice and public review are satisfied, the Borough Council will vote to adopt the budget and any tax rate changes.

Current and past annual budgets are available HERE.
