Supervisors keep donation to Gilpin Leachburg Recreation Authority unchanged for now
Summary
The Gilpin Leachburg Recreation Authority requested an increase in township funding; supervisors reviewed the authority's finances, noted a county donation of $5,600 that largely balanced its budget, and agreed to leave the township donation unchanged pending any midyear need.
Supervisors considered a request from the Gilpin Leachburg Recreation Authority to increase its township donation but voted to leave the current allocation unchanged at this time. The board reviewed the authority's financials and noted a county donation that improved the authority's position.
One member read figures from the authority's materials and noted that "they approved a donation of 5,600 to the Gilpin Leachburg Recreation Authority." The board discussed whether the township's approved budget could accommodate an increase; members noted they could make minimal pre-adoption changes but preferred to wait until midyear if an urgent project arose. Chair said the township currently has $3,000 allocated in the budget for the park and that any larger increase would require adjustments and possibly re-advertisement if the total budget changed by 10% or more.
The motion to remove the request from the table, consider it now and ultimately leave the township donation as-is passed on a voice vote. Supervisors said they would revisit funding if the authority demonstrates a midyear shortfall or specific proposed project.
