Summary
At a Sept. 23 work session, the East Rockhill Township Board of Supervisors reviewed proposed fee changes and expenses for the 2026 preliminary draft budget, left a south aeration tank refurbishment in the sewer budget pending a grant decision, endorsed five-year conservation-easement monitoring, and adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
The East Rockhill Township Board of Supervisors met for a 2026 preliminary draft budget work session on Sept. 23, 2025, and reviewed proposed fee changes, expense items, and capital needs for the coming year.
Chair Gary Volovnik called the meeting to order at 6:15 p.m. The board reviewed a proposed fee schedule intended to increase or realign revenues for the 2026 draft budget; the transcript records discussion but no formal action or vote on fees during the session.
The board also reviewed proposed expenses and exchanged recommendations for consideration in the draft budget. Township Manager Marianne Hart Morano and Public Works Director Jeff Scholl participated in the review; no expense items were formally adopted at the session.
On the sewer fund, the board discussed the need for treatment-plant repairs.

There was no public comment recorded. Vice-Chair Dave Nyman moved to adjourn; Supervisor Jim Nietupski seconded. With no additional discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
The board did not take formal votes on budget decisions during the session; the items discussed were left for further consideration or pending external steps such as the grant decision for the sewer refurbishment.
