starting the meeting without a court reporter this meeting is being taped and recorded it will be transcribed when we get a reporter the purpose of this evening's public hearing is to have the manager present the budget to council and to accept comments from the public this evening's hearing was advertised in the observer reporter in november sixteen and twenty three the hearing notice was placed on township bulletin boards the website and cable television council will not act on the budget ordinances  points in addition public works to the number of households where projects and that's reflected in the expenditures in storm stores was a big year for doing storms or fire station roof was completed in the phase one parking lot completed completed library renovation it's finalizing should be done by the end of the month and then the tennis center was an item where we ended up taking over operations for a full year round and then received official assessed value from the county which is coming out now five million dollars increase as opposed to five point eight so that makes a mil is now worth three hundred forty one thousand six hundred dollars and i do expect that to be higher local services tax there's a big push this year by keystone to go after local services taxes and so we jumped up to four hundred thousand i think that probably will be the numbers a little bit aggressive and i think it will be the number for two thousand and sixty yes of the business is coming and the economy is picking up the debt service is three point nine percent of our policies  legislators and the governor come to some agreement and as you know severance tax from gas was under discussion but i don't think it's going to happen so i think we probably will get funding next year and then there's the  be surprised to see that in the total revenues from two thousand and sixteen the probably closer to eighty or ninety million can two thousand and sixteen expenditures cars and three public works trucks and probably will not sell one of the public work trucks and use it for adding another route for next winter insurance is one of things we're doing right now is you we are really we are this is the year w hospitalization and pensions fund some of the other items and balances including the gas impact on again the traffic impact fees and now that you know that you pay and then the money that we have put away every year for does not really increase our expenditure they're still doing fund raising and you know they're working with the friends of the library who's a big financial supporter they still get grants all that still come they get to find money so all that still is the same really there and and actually look we've actually reduced the number we put into that fund for this year because they've had they had a pretty good sized balance  carried over well i mean i thought on one of the slides i saw that it was like a million something dollars was the expenditures and i remember there were five well well dollars to them when they were not under the one of the things that you know they were there were two major areas that funded got a library there was the contribution that we would give them which is like a hundred thousand and then there's also the money for supporting the building which was shown separately ok so now we put them all together in the one fund bike they really he's traffic i think it's lower and lower ok we will act on this sort of future council meeting
