Upper Hanover adopts resolution requiring fire companies' prior‑year audits for funding
Summary
The Upper Hanover Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2024‑31 requiring fire companies to submit prior‑year independent financial audit reports before the township distributes annual contributions; the motion passed 5‑0.
The Upper Hanover Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Aug. 13, 2024 to adopt Resolution No. 2024‑31, which requires fire companies to provide prior‑year independent financial audit reports before the township will release annual contribution funds. The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Dottie Diehl, seconded by Stefan Laessig, and approved 5‑0.
Resolution No. 2024‑31 was listed under Old Business during the meeting. The minutes state the resolution "requiring prior‑year independent financial audit reports from fire companies prior to distribution of annual contribution." No additional debate or qualifying language is recorded in the minutes and no votes against or abstentions were recorded. The board’s formal adoption creates a precondition for disbursement of the township’s annual financial support to volunteer fire companies.
The board gave no further details in the minutes about implementation steps, timelines, or whether the requirement applies retroactively to previously approved disbursements. The next regular Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for Sept. 10, 2024.
