At the July 13, 2022, Newtown Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting, Newtown Ambulance Squad (NAS) Chief Evan Resnikoff requested that the BOS authorize the Solicitor to place a referendum on the November ballot to include increased millage allowance in excess of the 0.5 Mill cap permitted by the Second Class Township Code for ambulance, rescue, and other emergency services. At the August 10, 2022, BOS meeting, the supervisors approved a resolution that provides for a referendum at the general election of November 8, 2022, on the question of whether an annual tax shall be levied at a rate of one (1) mill (a 0.5 mill increase) to support ambulance, rescue, and other emergency services serving Newtown Township. As Mr. Resnikoff explained, a 0.5 mill increase would amount to about $1.81 per month in additional real estate tax for the average Newtown Township homeowner.
