From the Supervisor

Some good news for Spencer Township tax payers, the multiplier for the 2010 tax year will be .997 meaning that our taxable value will see a decrease of three tenths of one percent. Not a lot but better that an increase. Also taxable values will decrease by five    percent as well.

In the 2009 fiscal year our budget provided for the re-graveling of 15 percent of our 52 miles of gravel roads. We will keep this process progressing until all of our roads see a new gravel surface. With the State budget process in limbo, revenue sharing statistics for our 2010 fiscal year are unclear. I am sure that the township will need to be creative with our budget in the coming year. We will make every effort to keep our roads in good condition.

Our new township park will open in the spring with eight picnic tables, two benches, two barbeques and one set of play ground equipment. We will continue to work on this project in the coming years as Community Development funds become available.

On a sad note, we lost a good friend and our Zoning Administrator Wanda Lippert on July 19 due to a heart attack. Wanda will be missed by all. I have taken over the duties of Zoning Administrator for the present time.

I hope everyone has a safe and blessed winter and holidays and by the way, our senior dinner will be held December 12 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Who knows, maybe I can talk Catherine into singing again. Hope to see you there.

May God Bless You All, Jeff Knapp
