Roaring Spring Borough boosted real estate taxes by two mills with the possibility it could drop by 4 1/2 mills by January. The end result of the move would be a $20,000 gain to balance the borough’s 2010 general fund budget.

Roaring Spring Council tentatively approved a budget that calls for 18 mills based on 75 percent valuation of property.

Among 1010 expenditures planned in the $155,067 police budget are purchase and installation of a second audiovisual camera to be placed in the 2005 police cruiser. An in car camera was provided for the newest police cruiser this fall through the Leah Hoover Memorial Fund.
