Budget comments

A handful of people appeared before Bellevue Council Tuesday evening to comment on the proposed 2011 budget and its inherent fee hikes.

One resident said that the switch to a usage-based sewer surcharge and the increase in garbage collection fees will result in an increase in cost that is greater than her salary will increase next year. She objected to paying more for garbage collection simply because other people were not paying their bills.

“Don’t penalize the people who do pay,” she told council.

Bond refinanced

Refinancing Ohio Township's current bond will produce about $87,000 for capital projects.

The Ohio Township Supervisors voted unanimously at their Oct. 5 meeting to refinance the debt. Township manager John L. Sullivan Jr. said that favorable interest rates had allowed refinancing with no extension of the amount or term of the bond. Instead the township will receive $87,000 as a refund or reimbursement for capital projects, he said.

This year, for the first time, the two boroughs are sharing a pool manager and lifeguards, coordinating programs and moving personnel between the pools as necessary.

Bellevue parks committee chairman Steve Mosolansky, speaking at the pre-council meeting held July 24, suggested allowing pass holders at both pools to visit the other pool at no additional charge.
