Lower Paxton Township Board of Supervisors budget workshop, October 7, 2026: Officials reviewed the proposed budget, with no general tax increase proposed, while noting an anticipated general-fund deficit of about $900,000 and the likelihood that a tax increase may be needed in a future year. A fire-millage increase is proposed to support a paid fire crew. The sanitation budget includes a 6% increase under the Penn Waste contract, which was described as a 2023 five-year contract with two optional extension years; additional disposal-cost increases may also apply. Healthcare costs are rising, and the solicitor budget includes higher costs associated with investigations and litigation. Police contract negotiations had reached agreement on compensation figures, with language still being finalized.

Capital and technology projects discussed included public-works GIS ($225,000), Prince Street mobility improvements (about $1.2 million), Coons Park playground (about $926,000), Cole Park fence and camera ($114,000), and George Park improvements ($2,100), as reported; an IT server and network project was also mentioned without an amount. These are multi-year projects, with many expected to be partly offset by grants. Officials also discussed, but did not approve, setting aside about $4 million from fund balance for an internal revolving fund to finance capital purchases instead of borrowing through leases. No procurement awards or spending motions were taken; the fund-balance proposal was expected to return for discussion when all supervisors could attend. The meeting adjourned by motion.
