Supervisors back $600 stipend for qualified volunteer firefighters, will consult boroughs
Summary
The Board reviewed a citizen request for a volunteer firefighter/EMS tax incentive but noted the township already contributes to fire companies; supervisors supported increasing the stipend for qualified volunteer firefighters to $600 and will discuss the change with boroughs.
The Board reviewed a citizen request that the township adopt a volunteer firefighter/EMS tax incentive program but noted that the township already makes a contribution to each fire company for that purpose. Supervisors indicated they were in favor of increasing the stipend given to each qualified volunteer firefighter to $600 and agreed to consult with neighboring boroughs about implementation.
The minutes record the Board's direction and intent but do not show a formal ordinance or tax-incentive program adopted at the May 13 meeting; further action will require intermunicipal coordination or a future formal motion.
