December 5, 2016 2017 Operating Budget 7 Operating Budget FY2017 Manager’s Budget Message November 7, 2016 To the Board of Supervisors and Township Residents, Introduction On behalf of the township staff I am pleased to present the 2017 Township Budget to the Board of Supervisors and the township residents. The budget is one of the important policy documents that defines the direction the township is heading and combined with the Strategic Plan goals and objectives and the Five Year Capital Improvement Plan establishes a firm base for policy decisions. As a guiding document the budget references the Strategic Plan goals throughout and ties these goals to funding of projects, personnel and services. Further, the annual budget is consistent with the approved Five Year Capital Improvement Plan by incorporating and providing funding for those capital expenditures previously approved for 2017 in the Capital Improvement Plan. At the national level the economy has been flat with GDP in the 1% range. The Consumer Price Index as of September year to date is 1.5% and Consumer Confidence Index now stands at 98.6 (1985=100), down from 103.5 in September. The Present Situation Index decreased from 127.9 to 120.6, while the Expectations Index declined from 87.2 last month to 83.9. As a presidential election year history has shown that the economy has seen positive improvement in the first year of the presidency. The local economy has been very resilient to the national and statewide trends. Much of this resilience can be attributed to stable employment, especially due to The Pennsylvania State University. The region is an attractive destination for retiring seniors and alumni. Building permit activity is on par as compared to 2016. Despite these positives, new home starts as part of the building permit activity are behind 2016, new business startups are fewer and non-University employers has had some reduction in workforce. This budget continues the careful and diligent expenditure of funds to maintain the core services while progressing with those priorities set forth in the Strategic Plan and Capital Improvement Plan which is a historical fingerprint of prior township budgets.

  • Centre County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO)
    Centre County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) 2012 Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan Incorporating Requirements for: • Job Access and Reverse Commute Program • New Freedom Program • Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities Program Adopted September 25, 2012 Introduction Federal law and regulations require that in all urbanized areas with a population of over 50,000 persons, local and state officials work cooperatively to maintain a continuous and comprehensive long-range transportation planning program. A formal group called a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) carries out this federal mandate. The Centre Region MPO (CRMPO) was formed in 1982, and succeeded the Centre Region Area Transportation Study (CRATS), which had previously been responsible for conducting long-range transportation planning in the State College, PA area. By 2003, the CRMPO coordinated transportation planning efforts in the geographic area comprised of Benner, College, Ferguson, Halfmoon, Harris, Patton, and Spring Townships, Bellefonte Borough, and State College Borough in Centre County, PA. In November 2003, the Centre Region MPO Coordinating Committee expanded the MPO to a countywide organization, effective January 2004. The boundary of the Centre County MPO (CCMPO) now includes all of Centre County. The CCMPO works closely with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA), and the Centre County Office of Transportation Services (CCOT) to identify and prioritize transportation improvement projects within Centre County. MPO Structure The policy-making body of the CCMPO is the Coordinating Committee, which is ultimately responsible for the transportation planning activities mandated in federal laws and regulations. The Coordinating Committee includes nineteen voting members from county and local government, public agencies, and PennDOT.
