Lower Alsace board approves routine finances, special-event permits and adopts preliminary $89,766 pension figure
Summary
Supervisors approved the treasurer's report and bills, confirmed payoff of a Pennsylvania Infrastructure Bank loan freeing roughly $60,000 in debt service, and approved a preliminary 2025 pension MMO of $89,766 to include in the budget; two special-event permits were also approved.
The Lower Alsace Township Board of Supervisors on Sept. 12 approved routine financial items, heard that the township made the final payment on a Pennsylvania Infrastructure Bank loan and adopted a preliminary pension figure for the 2025 budget.
On motions that carried unanimously, the board approved the August 31 treasurer's reports and the list of bills as presented. The Township Manager reported that the final loan payment had been made on the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Bank loan, freeing approximately $60,000 in debt-service funds in the township budget; Supervisor Todd Weikel suggested allocating some of those funds for underground pipe and bridge work.
The board also approved including the preliminary 2025 Non-Uniformed Minimum Municipal Obligation (MMO) of $89,766 for the township's defined benefit pension plan in next year’s budget. Supervisor Todd Weikel moved the approval; Supervisor Ann Sellers seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Finally, supervisors approved two special-event permits — the 9th Annual Carsonia Craft Beer and Wine Amusement and the Reading Liederkranz Oktoberfest event — on motion by Supervisor Weikel and seconded by Supervisor Sellers. No conditions or additional questions about the permits were recorded in the minutes.
A draft 2025 animal-control contract proposed by Safety Net Sanctuary was reviewed; the township manager said that agreement will be voted on in November before the budget is finalized.
