Sugarcreek approves $7.65 million budget
Sugarcreek Twp. trustees on Monday, March 16, approved a 2009 budget of $7.65 million, although the eventual total could rise by $1.5 million if the Clyo Road extension goes through as scheduled.
The township’s police ($2.43 million), fire ($1.78 million) and roads and services ($850,000) departments account for two-thirds of the budget. The police department is due for a $77,000 increase in spending over the 2008 budget, and Sugarcreek Administrator Barry Tiffany said that is due to personnel, vehicle and equipment costs.
The road and fire departments saw their budgets shrink slightly from 2008, with projected cuts of $61,000 and $73,000 respectively. While most township departments are in solid shape according to Tiffany, the fire department has been making cuts since voters narrowly rejected a levy in November.
Elsewhere in the budget, the township has lowered its projection for purchased services, which includes legal fees, from $315,000 in 2008 to $185,000 in 2009. And Sugarcreek expects much lower capital projects spending in 2009 after using more than $500,000 in 2008 to expand the township administration building and buy and renovate a home on South Alpha Bellbrook Road.
