The Radnor Township administration is proposing a 1.4 percent tax increase for 2013, representing an increase of 0.0533 mills or about $16 for the average taxpayer.

The board did not take any action on the $37,194,463 spending plan, as a series of public budget discussions are planned to first take place, reports Main Line Media News.

The administration also announced a proposal to charge residents a $36 annual fee for trash removal (to recover the costs of Delaware County increasing its tipping fee by 40 percent), according to the newspaper. The preliminary budget also includes a fee increase for repeat false alarms in which the police responds.
