Hanover Area appoints new business manager at $95,000 starting salary

<p>DORRANCE TWP. &#8212; Township supervisors said Monday they are poised to approve a 2018 budget of $806,765 that holds the line on taxes.</p><p>&#8220;No tax increases,&#8221; said Supervisor Chairman Gary Zane.</p><p>The budget is expected to be adopted at the Dec. 11 supervisors&#8217; meeting. In the meantime, Patricia Davis, secretary-treasurer, stated the proposed budget is available for public inspection at the township building.</p><p>The largest revenue producers are an anticipated $130,000 in real estate taxes and $240,000 in earned income levies. Liquid fuel allocations of $134,565 from PennDOT are also factored into the plan.</p><p>Zane, who won re-election in November, said the township&#8217;s real estate tax rate will remain at 0.75 mills. A mill is $1 in tax for every $1,000 of assessed valuation.</p><p>In other business this week, supervisors:</p><p>&#8226; Accepted a proposal by Grevera &amp; Associates for $3,395 to conduct an audit of township finances.</p><p>&#8226; Approved the Haydt minor subdivision at Stairville Road and St. Mary&#8217;s Road according to provisions established by the township&#8217;s planning commission.</p><p>&#8226; Approved a motion to seek a $63,540 Local Share Grant to purchase earth-moving equipment for the road department.</p><p>&#8226; Following comments by Dorrance Solicitor Sean Logsdon, supervisors expressed a negative view about allowing new mini-casinos across the state. The new casinos were approved by state lawmakers to end Pennsylvania&#8217;s budget crisis.</p><style>
