West Penn Township continues to compile more figures in an attempt to craft next year’s budget.

Board Chairman Tony Prudenti said at a budget workshop Monday morning that the township continues to make progress in piecing together the 2020 spending plan.

“I think we’re getting close,” Prudenti said.

Before the workshop, supervisors at their regularly scheduled bimonthly meeting took a pair of votes related to recent vehicle purchases.

The board agreed to rescind a motion to buy two new Dodge pickups for the township police department that had been approved earlier this month.

Afterward, the board then agreed to buy two new Chevy pickups instead for the department.

Also just before its workshop, the board agreed to include $11,000 as a trade that would be used as part of the purchase of a smaller plow truck for the township road department.

Last month, supervisors held their initial meeting on the 2020 budget and met with the department heads from the police and road departments.

At that time, township police Chief Brian Johnson said his department would like to add two new pickups in the amount of $85,000, and have received both five and four-year quotes.

Also at that time, township roadmaster Clint Schock told supervisors his department could use a smaller plow truck that would cost around $85,000.

Supervisors will hold their next budget meeting following their monthly morning meeting on Nov. 18.

In December, supervisors adopted this year’s $2,561,361 spending plan with no tax increase.

That left the millage rate at 4.75 mills.
