The Township has many Funds used for specific purposes. Some of these Funds are operating accounts for normal budgetary expenditures. Some are accounts set up for future capital purchases.
Funds that have been designated as operating funds include General Fund and Park and Recreation Fund. Routine expenditures come out of these funds.
Funds that are used to build reserves for future capital purchases, or in the event of unforeseen emergencies include Park and Recreation Capital, General Reserve, Capital Equipment, Highway Equipment.
Other dedicated funds include Street Light, Fire, EMS, Land Preservation, Liquid Fuels, Fiduciary, Capital Infrastructure Debt Service and Public Works Debt Service Funds. Monies in these accounts are either distributed to other entities (such as local fire and ambulance companies), are temporary developers' escrows, or are used for specific purposes (such as payment of debt service, street light maintenance, road maintenance and land preservation).
Presently, New Britain Township is working on several possibilities for additional land preservation. The Land Preservation Fund is used for purchasing Open Space Conservation Easements and development rights. Keeping a healthy balance is critical to maintain the ability to act on a property when occasion arises.
