Franklin Township has yet to settle on next year’s spending plan.

Supervisors on Tuesday tabled tentative adoption of the 2023 budget.

The board has held two budget meetings, and plans to hold another budget workshop.

Last December, supervisors adopted this year’s budget with no tax increase.

That left the millage rate unchanged at 7.64 mills. Of that, 6.3 mills is for general purposes; 0.537 for the capital reserve building fund; and 0.800 for the fire hydrant fund for properties within 780 feet of fire hydrants.

The last time residents saw a tax increase was 2010, when taxes were raised by 1.5 mills.

Residents did see a $10 increase in their garbage bills in 2020 - monthly increase of 83 cents.

That marked the first time garbage rates went up since 2009, and it was done to help the township counter the rising costs of health care, unfunded state mandates, and repairs to older vehicles and trucks.
