ATHENS TOWNSHIP â The Athens Township Supervisors passed its 2021 budget during a meeting on Wednesday.
In a unanimous vote, the supervisors approved a $5,226,976 spending plan for next year.
The township expects $5,310,342 in revenue and $5,226,976 in expenses as part of its 2021 budget.
Supervisors Chairwoman Kirstie Lake said at a meeting last week that the difference in revenue and expenditures does not come with an increase in taxes for township residents.
Lake said that the township is going into âmaintenance modeâ in 2021 in order to keep the expenses down and not raise taxes.
The township plans on $291,000 in highway maintenance, including: $163,000 in materials, $15,000 to rent machinery and equipment and $30,000 in contracted repairs to roads.

Only seven of Stanford Medicine s 1,300 residents, many of whom have regularly been on the frontlines treating COVID-19 patients, made the cut to receive the medical center s first set of coronavirus vaccine doses, some of which instead went to health care workers who don t attend to coronavirus patients and medical faculty who have been working from home. Stanford acknowledged the mistake and profusely apologized Friday, citing an algorithmic error, and some of the doctors have since been inoculated, but the mishap has raised concerns about vaccine distribution around the country.
