Township seeks $376,696 STMP grant to fund integrated administrative software
Summary
Township Manager Theresa Eberly said the township submitted a Phase 2 STMP grant — $376,696 total with an anticipated township share of $188,348 — to acquire integrated financial, permitting, utility and billing software and to enable further grant opportunities tied to the STMP report.
Township Manager Theresa Eberly told the board May 14 that the township submitted a Phase 2 STMP grant application totaling $376,696, with an expected township share of $188,348, to acquire and implement an integrated administrative system for finance, permitting, utility billing and related functions.
Eberly said an approved STMP report permits subsequent grant submissions based on its recommendations and that one finding identified a critical need for administrative and financial software. She also reported that planned 6th Street road repairs were delayed until June and summarized a stakeholder rental-registration meeting in which fee structure remained an unresolved point; Commissioners Rothrock and Cross attended that stakeholder meeting.
Why it matters: An integrated system could change how permitting, billing and utilities are managed and could enable the township to pursue additional grant-funded projects tied to the STMP recommendations. The board received the report as informational and staff will manage any procurement and implementation steps consistent with grant terms.
Next steps: If the STMP grant is approved, staff will begin procurement and implementation planning for the integrated system; Eberly indicated the grant would cover a substantial portion of the cost.
