Annual Budget
The Administration Department begins the annual budget process in August each year. The Township operates on a calendar year. Beginning in September, the Board of Supervisors reviews the proposed budgets in Budget Workshop meetings. When ready for a vote, the budget is presented at a Board of Supervisors meeting, and scheduled for final adoption at an end-of-year meeting. By law, the budget must be approved before the January 1 start of a fiscal year.
