Clymer Borough Council this week gave preliminary approval to the 2027 budget.
That budget contains no tax increases and balances at $659,000. The mils will remain at 4.90 for general purpose and a half-mil tax for streetlights. Borough Manager Sonya Schrenkel said that the earned income tax collections played a big part in the balanced budget.
The budget will go up for final approval in December.
Council also approved appointing two new members. Marion Paulina and Jack Smicklo will fill the seats of Joshua Hayes and Stephanie Brillhart. Hayes has moved out of the borough, and Brillhart said that she was finding it difficult to be a member of council with the busy lives of her children.
Council also approved an ordinance that bans farm animals to be kept in the borough. Schrenkel said they had some issues with the animals, and they wanted to make it clear in its own ordinance.
