North Versailles Twp. commissioners have tentatively approved a 2021 budget with no tax increase.
At its November meeting, the board of commissioners adopted a $8.06 million spending plan, which includes $7.56 million in the general fund, $304,603 in the liquid fuels fund and $205,010 in the fire tax fund.
Commissioners also fixed the property tax rate for 2021 at the current 7.25 mills.
The budget will be on display in the manager’s office in the township building, 1401 Greensburg Pike, during regular business hours until the next regular meeting on Dec. 17, when commissioners will vote to officially adopt the budget.
In other business:
Commissioner Allen Wagner announced that a company is interested in purchasing the former Green Valley Elementary School for use as a senior citizen residence.
The East Allegheny School Board was scheduled to vote Nov. 23 on the proposed sale of the building to Wallick Asset Management, LLC, for $399,000, but the sale was pulled after district Solicitor Dan Beisler recommended the building be put up for public auction.
Wagner said the public auction, with a minimum selling price of $399,000, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Jan. 11 at the district’s offices, 1150 Jacks Run Road.
