Lebanon Township Committee adopts amended 2026 municipal budget
Summary
Lebanon Township Committee voted unanimously April 8 to adopt an amended 2026 municipal budget after a presentation by the CFO and the township's auditors; the public raised School Resource Officer funding during the hearing.
Lebanon Township’s governing body voted unanimously April 8 to adopt the municipal budget for calendar year 2026 as amended, following a public hearing and a presentation by Chief Financial Officer Lorraine England and Laura Atwell of BKC Certified Public Accounts.
The committee first passed Resolution No. 59-2026 to allow the budget to be read by title only, then approved Resolution No. 59A-2026 to amend the introduced budget (reducing anticipated surplus from $600,000 to $576,000 and making matching adjustments to appropriations). The committee then adopted the amended budget under Resolution No. 60-2026. Motion and second for the final adoption were recorded on the public record and the vote was unanimous.
During the public hearing, a commenter asked about funding and grants for law enforcement officers in schools; finance staff said the amended budget reflects current revenue and appropriation estimates and provided details on the line-item changes presented by Ms. England and Ms. Atwell. The approved 2026 municipal budget totals $7,983,284.24, with $2,217,520 in salaries and wages, $3,369,473.24 in other expenses and $1,008,000 for capital improvements.
The committee followed statutory notice and posting requirements for the public hearing and budget availability. No formal amendments beyond Resolution No. 59A-2026 were recorded at the meeting. The committee closed the hearing after hearing public comment and adopted the budget; the amended budget will be filed with the director of local government services for certification as required by law.
