The Board of Commissioners recently began to implement long-deferred physical plant improvements, including the replacement of the outdated vehicle maintenance garage. By utilizing a pre-engineered metal structure, the building was constructed in a cost-effective way. The garage also features many energy-efficient improvements. It uses waste oil burners that heat the facility with used motor oils collected from Township vehicles, and has low cost LED lighting. The new shop has six regular bays as well as flexible workspace for additional vehicles, parts storage, a welding station for body repairs and a crew room to accommodate overnight crews during emergencies.
Because of its age, shape and location, the old shop did not have enough space to accommodate all of the needed indoor work space, which meant that larger vehicles did not fit in the tight bays when the overhead doors were closed, exposing employees to inclement weather.

Dear Resident,
R e c e n t l y , t h e B o a r d o f Commissioners a p p r o v e d t h e FY/2015 Annual Budget and the
proposed 3-Year Capital Improvement Program. The Township's 2015 proposed budget of $39,779,745.00 includes a 2.81% tax increase (7.334 to 7.540mills). Using an approximate median assessment of $143,335, the budget increase equates to a $30.00 per year increase.
Preparation of the Township's budget is o n e o f t h e m o s t i m p o r t a n t responsibilities I have. The budget is used to create a business plan for the re-occurring costs, new projects and programs, and financial resources that are necessary for us to function on a day-to-day basis and to plan for our future needs.
During the budget preparation process, the Director of Finance and I identified options for new revenue generation, r e v i e w e d e x p e n s e r e d u c t i o n opportunities and possible minor service reductions or alternatives. In
addition to restructuring how we provide emergency services, which was outlined in my previous Township Manager's Message, we continued to work closely with Marple and Upper D a r b y To w n s h i p s o n f u t u r e partnerships and cost reduction initiatives that would benefit our communities. We hope to be able to continue to control spending through ongoing analyses, partnerships, budgetary saving practices, and by adopting new purchasing policies and procedures.
Like previous years, this budget represents a continuation of the Board of Commissioners' and Management's commitment to building and investing in a high-quality community that effectively:
provides a broad range of public health, safety and community services,
m a i n t a i n s t h e To w n s h i p ' s roads, parks and infrastructure,protects the natural environment, coordinates and anticipates continued residential and business growth and development, and maintains the vibrant set of recreational and community assets and services our residents enjoy.
After analyzing current and future needs, my staff and I presented the proposed budget to the Board of Commissioners and the community. Our presentation, which is available on the Township's website, highlighted and summarized key information included in the 2015 Budget, recommended a supportable solution to balance the budget, and apprise the Board of Commissioners and the residents of Haverford Township of the fiscal plans and challenges that lie ahead.

A Note from the Township ManagerThe budget process began in August 2014 and is the product of many hours of work by Township S ta f f , Department Heads and Division Managers. The Director of Finance and I maintained a conservative budget strategy for 2015. It is clear that we share the overall objective and desire to keep tax increases in check while maintaining the high quality of municipal services our residents expect and deserve.
The 2016, 2017 and 2018 budgets included in our proposed budget are for illustration and planning only, and assume flat revenues and an increase in expenditures in accordance with labor contracts and the CPI index.
As a community that heavily relies on residential property taxes, Haverford Township must always include an intense technical review and analysis of the Township's budgetary revenue and expenditure trends. Balancing revenue shortfalls with increased operational costs and demands for services is a theme and challenge for g o v e r n m e n t s a c r o s s t h e Commonwealth and the United States.

Where Your Real Estate Tax Dollars Go
Almost the entire budget increase ($675,998) can be attributed to two major cost drivers:(1) contractual wage net increases (which raise our expenditures by $262,853), and (2) increase in annual debt service resulting from our 2013 bond issue and the first wave borrowing for the new building projects. However, the total

increase that would have been required has been greatly mitigated by the savings generated by structural staffing changes within the Township.

Rain Gardens for Clean WaterDuring rainstorms water flows out of downspouts across lawns treated with fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides, over driveways, walkways, and streets coated
with oil residue, litter, and sediment where it finally flows into stormdrains. The various pollutants that this stormwater has picked up are then discharged into local streams untreated. Our local streams drain into the Delaware River which ultimately flows into the Delaware Estuary, a major source of food and recreation for our region. Pollution from stormwater runoff is the leading cause of degradation and impairment of our streams. Therefore, it is vital that we rethink the ways in which our community handles stormwater runoff if we are to improve the integrity of our water ways.Rain gardens are a proven way to capture overland runoff from your gutters, driveways and walkways and prevent
pollution from entering the storm sewer system and ultimately our streams. Gutters and impervious surfaces can be directed to a rain garden; a depressed garden that acts like a sponge to capture and infiltrate the rain water back into groundwater supplies with the plants and soil naturally filtering out the pollutants. These gardens, planted with native flowers, shrubs and grasses, help to mimic natural conditions that were present b e f o r e d e v e l o p m e n t o c c u r r ed . Additionally, the rush of water that enters a stream during rain events can be greatly reduced by directing the stormwater to a raingarden. This rush of water often causes bank erosion and instream habitat destruction. Rain gardens can soak up to 30% more rain water than lawn areas and increase vital habitat for butterflies and birds.
For additional resources on rain gardens please visit the following:New Jersey Rain Garden Manual: http://www.water.rutgers.edu/Rain_Gardens/RGWebsiteRainGardenManualofNJ.html
Vermont Rain Garden Manual: http://www.uvm.edu/seagrant/sites/uvm.edu.seagrant/files/vtraingardenmanual.pdf
Mosquitoes will not be an issue with a rain garden as a properly designed and functioning garden will drain within 24 hours. Mosquitoes need standing stagnant water for several days to complete their lifecycle from egg to adult insect.
If you are interested in learning more about rain gardens and installing one on your property, please contact the Eastern Delaware County Stormwater Collaborative at [email protected].

Reminders & Notices
Snow RemovalNotice
Residents are reminded to remove theirvehicles from the streets as soon as the
snow starts to fall. Street parking impedesthe Public Works Crews, delaying clean up.All sidewalks are to be cleared of snow and
ice 24 hours after the snow stops falling.If your neighbor is unable to clear their
sidewalk, consider pitching in to clear it out.
HELP US, HELP YOU!The arrival of cold weather means that firefighters will be in a constant battle with slippery roads, hidden hydrants, and frozen hose lines. Do your part to help keep your neighborhood safe by clearing hydrants of snow. A clear path on all four sides makes hydrants easier to locate and operate in an emergency.
Also, in snowy weather, please utilize off-street parking whenever possible. This allows better access for emergency vehicles and also allows the Department of Public Works to clear the roads more efficiently.
And never shovel snow into the street!

How Haverford Township Battles Winter Storms
Haverford Township Public Works Department approaches lighter winter storms that are expected to produce 0-2 inches of frozen precipitation as a spreading storm. The Public Works Department and PennDOT refers to these storms as spreading storms because the spreading of winter materials (Brine & Rock Salt) is the primary tool used to remove ice and snow.
State Roads and Secondary Roads
Haverford Township is responsible for the winter maintenance of 165.07 miles of Township and state roads throughout Haverford Township. Depending of the forecast we will pre-treat the roadway surface with salt brine before the winter storm. Then throughout the storm, we will spread winter materials over the length of these roads until all lanes are free of snow and ice. Depending on the temperature, we may plow to remove remaining snow and slush. An average cycle for a Township truck on these roads is one hour.
A storm that is expected to produce more than two inches of precipitation is treated as a plowing event storm where the primary function of the Public Works crews is plowing from the roadways. Do not clear the end of your driveway until the storm has stopped and the road is plowed curb to curb. This will save you work and will lower your frustration level. The Townships goal is to first open one lane of traffic each direction on every road, then return and plow the snow back to the curb, exposing the storm water inlets.
Residents are reminded that Township Ordinance #2629 clearly states it is unlawful for any property owner, resident, his/her contractor, agent or employee to shovel, plow discharge or otherwise place snow into any street, roadway, sidewalk or alley within the Township of Haverford.
This ordinance is strictly enforced!

How Haverford Township Battles Winter Storms
The Township crews will pre-treat
roadways with rock salt and salt brine
before the storm. We will then
continue to spread winter materials
over the entire length of the
roadways throughout the storm until
all lanes are free of snow and ice. We
will plow excess amounts of snow and
ice from the roadways surface.
Road Salt - Salt remains the
Townships primary weapon for
fighting winter storms. The Township
maintains a stockpile of salt at our
maintenance facility. On an average,
the Township has used over 5,000
tons of salt over the past three years.
Township Winter Facts7 - Snow Blowers
10 - Large Trucks with Salt & Plows
8 - Sanitation Trucks with Plows
3 - Medium Trucks with Salt & Plows
5 - Small Trucks with Plows
2 - Wheel Loaders
85 - Employees used during an average winter event.
5,976 - Average tons of rock salt used by the Township over the past
three years.
$705,000 - Average amount the Township spent on winter
operations over the last three years.
Anti-icing - Brine is applied to a dry
road before snow starts falling. This
helps to prevent Ice and snowfrom
bonding to the pavement. Utilizing
Brine allows us to move from a
re·active (De-icing) to a pro-active
approach (Anti-icing). Anti-icing
returns roads to normal faster and it
jumpstarts the melting process.
Township staff can cover more
territory by beginning treatment
before the storm begins and we will
use less salt as a deicer, resulting in
cost savings and less environmental
impact on our community.

Do Green & Earn GreenHaverford Township is Going Green, don't just watch from the sidelines. Here are some simple things you can do to Earn Green while helping the environment - brought to you from the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC):
Save Energy, Earn Green: Conservation has the best return on investment of any green technology - it beats the bank and the stock market! Two great things to do now:
G e t F R E E E n e r g y A u d i t s a n d Weatherization services from CAADC if you receive SSI or TANF or are otherwise income eligible (e.g., family of 5 with income below $55,820). You can call 6 1 0 . 5 2 1 . 8 7 7 o r g o t o http://www.caadc.org/pdfs/Flyer%20Brochure%202014.pdf
Everyone can get a low cost PECO Smart House Call Energy Assessment. On sale for $25 until 11/30/14 and normally $50, you receive FREE energy saving products and a customized plan that can reduce your annual utility bill by 20%. Also look for rebates on efficient appliances.C a l l 1 - 8 8 8 - 5 7 3 - 2 6 7 2 o r g o t o https://www.peco.com/SAVINGS/PROGRAMSandREBATES/RESIDENTIAL/Pages/PECOSmartHomeRebates.aspx
Green Power at a Competitive Cost: Would you switch to renewable energy if it was the same cost? It can take 10 minutes to shop and s w i t c h t o r e n e w a b l e p o w e r a t http://www.papowerSwitch.com/shop-for-electricity/. Plug in your zip code, choose "Residential" and click on the "Renewable
Energy" button at the bottom of the left side bar and sort by price. EAC members have locked in 100% renewable contracts below the PECO cost in the past, though at the moment they start at about $3 a month more.
Stop Flooding/Clean Our Streams: What can a person do? Lots. Builders, homeowners, business owners can rethink their stormwater runoff and corral it to do some good. Learn more about Haverford's "100 Rain Gardens in 10 Years Initiative" and other Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Search for "Haverford 100 Rain Gardens", visit www.facebook.com/haverfordraingardens or email [email protected] where you can Adopt-A-Rain Garden, sign up for updates on workshops and how to help us build rain gardens all around town!
Travel Green: Walk, bike, use SEPTA, get a "green vehicle". Hikers can enjoy new trails, Cyclists can enjoy new "Safety Shoulder Striping" on major roads and new bike racks at Septa stations thanks to the efforts of Friends of Haverford Trails, Haverford Walks and Bikes, Haverford Township, several Commissioners, SEPTA and PennDOT. Sign up to get more information on trails and safe streets efforts at www.havtrail.com.
Green Vehicles: More expensive? Nope. Consumer Reports says hybrid car models have the lowest overall cost to own over a 5 Year period in the Small Car, Family Sedan and Luxury Car segments due to lower fuel cost and higher resale values. You save more the longer you own the car. An Urban Institute study says hybrid Police Cruisers have a 1 year
payback and can save $4,300 per year per vehicle or $21,300 over the life of the vehicle! Search for "Consumer Reports Cost of Ownership". There are more great hybrid and plug in choices than ever!
Recycle: Recycling all cans, containers and paper is not only good for the environment but saves Haverford money and cuts your taxes. Contact Public Works at 610-446-1000 ext. 2263 (or [email protected]) to get free stickers to turn garbage cans into recycling cans or, if you are new to Haverford, to get a free new Recycling Container. To get recycling schedules and "Single Stream Recycling" and "How to Recycle (Almost) Everything" brochures, search for "Haverford Recycling". Search "Haverford Yard Waste Recycling" for how to recycle yard waste on the Monday pickup.
Join the EAC! Appointed EAC members encourage those with environmental skills and those who are committed to our mission to join in our efforts. To volunteer to help, email [email protected] or come to our
ndmeetings, normally at 7:30 PM on the 2
