The North Lebanon Township Board of Supervisors unanimously approved five dates for 2027 budget meetings at its monthly meeting Monday.<\/p>\n

The board will meet at the following dates and times to develop next year\u2019s budget:<\/p>\n

Sept. 29, 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Oct. 6, 5:30 p.m. (fire chiefs)<\/p>\n

Oct. 14, 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Oct. 21, 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Oct. 28, 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

During budget discussions, municipalities balance expected expenses against revenues, and plan projects like annual roadwork (which is paid for in part using state liquid fuel funding).<\/p>\n

The 2026 budget, which did not include a tax increase from 2025, sets tax rates at 1.59 mills for the general purpose tax, .42 mills for fire protection, .5% for earned income tax, $52 per person for the local services tax, and a streetlight tax of 51 cents per foot for properties within 250 feet of a streetlight. It also includes a $132,000 surplus. The largest expense is police at 46%, followed by public works at 15% and administrative costs at 10%.<\/p>\n

In other developments, the board unanimously approved a stormwater management site plan for Zimmerman Mulch, as well as an improvements guarantee, financial security, and an O&M agreement.<\/p>\n

The plan includes management for an already-constructed building that had received a stormwater exemption due to plans to turn part of a driveway into grass. However, once construction started, developers realized this was not feasible and developed a plan to bring stormwater from the building\u2019s roof into a stormwater system.<\/p>\n

The board also approved time extensions for the following developments (active plans shown on the township\u2019s website<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Manna Foods stormwater-only plan until Nov. 22.<\/p>\n

Whispering Pines subdivision and land development plan until Dec. 4.<\/p>\n

Stanley Martin subdivision plan until Nov. 17.<\/p>\n
