Township delays decision on Keystone Water Resource Center funding request
Summary
Township staff outlined a 2026 request from the Keystone Water Resource Center for an annual $1,500 (or $2,000) contribution to maintain five stream-monitoring stations; supervisors asked KWRC to present at a future meeting and postponed inclusion in the budget pending that presentation.
The board received a funding request from the Keystone Water Resource Center (KWRC) for an annual 2026 contribution of $1,500 (requested) or $2,000 (alternative) to sustain five stream-monitoring stations in Harris Township. Staff noted the request arrived after the board's budget work session and suggested amending the draft 2026 budget or making a donation from another fund.
Supervisors asked whether KWRC duplicates other monitoring and requested a clear explanation of the data provided and how the township would use it. Multiple supervisors said they would prefer to hear a brief presentation from KWRC at a future meeting before deciding whether to allocate budget dollars. Staff agreed to invite KWRC to the December or February meeting and to research the township's prior funding history for the project.
