At the regulary scheduled meeting of Council on Wednesday, December 11th, Jenkintown Borough Council voted to approve the 2025 Budget which can be found by clicking opens in a new windowhereopens PDF file . The 2025 budget includes further preservation of public property, upgrading of equipment, PD vehicle replacement, upgrades to Borough Hall, Financial and Code Enforcement software, IT technology, training, staffing, benefit and wage improvements. As supported by two separate independent studies there will be a reduction in PD staffing in 2025. Due to a retirement announced effective February 2025, there will be a two-position reduction in PD staff in the budget.
There is no tax millage increase to taxpayers in the 2025 budget. There is an increase in the sewer rental fees that was originally approved in 2023, but the planned implementation did not occur in 2024. The circumstances are detailed in the Manger’s 2025 budget statement. I would like to thank the Department Heads, Borough Councilors and the Public that attended the public meetings and worked so hard to make this process a success.
