West Shore Recreation tells Lower Allen it is raising per-capita contribution to cover costs
Summary
West Shore Recreation Commission informed commissioners that municipal per-capita support will rise from $310 to $320 for 2025 to offset higher instructor and insurance costs and thanked Lower Allen for ongoing facility use and partnership.
John Mano, president of the West Shore Recreation Commission, briefed the Lower Allen Township Board of Commissioners on the commission’s programs, membership trends and budget for 2025.
Mano said the commission has operated for more than five decades and that rising costs for instructors, insurance and operations required a small increase in the municipal per-capita contribution for 2025. "We had to raise it from 310 to 320," he said, adding that the increase helps the commission continue year-round programming, special trips and instruction for all ages. Mano thanked the township for facility use and singled out the township’s representative, Bethan McCoy, for attending monthly meetings and providing liaison support.
Commissioners praised the programs, noted registration gains since the pandemic and said they value the commission’s role using municipal facilities. The per-capita increase was presented as a budget matter the board will account for in its 2025 budgeting and intermunicipal agreements.
