Transmittal Letter
Thomas J. Fountaine, II
As required by Section 904 of the State College Home Rule Charter, I am transmitting the proposed 2023 Budget
to Council. The proposed budget includes expenditures of $80,570,898, and recurring revenues of $62,989,784,
with $17,581,115 from fund balances. The proposed budget also includes rate increases for the Sewer Fund, the
Refuse Fund, a Real Estate Tax rate increase of 1.5 mills for ination, and 0.123 mills for Regional Programs. This
represents a tax increase of 8.9% equal to $104.26 for a property valued at $300,000, which is the approximate
median value for single-family residential properties within the Borough. The sewer rate increases result from the
rate increase imposed on the State College Sewer System by the University Area Joint Authority. The refuse rate
increase results from the increased cost of operating the Borough's refuse collection and compost program. The
General Fund budget includes expenditures of $35,740,937 and recurring revenues of $33,721,945, with $2,018,992
funded from reserves.
The 2023 budget continues to address the State College Strategic Plan and the budget goals and priorities that
have been established by Council. The 2023 budget also reects the impact of ination, with the Municipal Cost
Index at 10.2% for 2022.
The proposed budget includes critical infrastructure improvements as the Borough continues to catch up on
capital projects that were deferred during the pandemic. Key improvements among these projects are the Calder
Way improvements between Fraser Street and McAllister Street, the Parkway multimodal path construction,
improvements to the Orchard Park Bike Path, construction of the Nittany Avenue Parking lot required to replace
the Allen Street Lot, and other important projects. Additional staff will be added to the Public Works construction
crew to assist with advancing the project backlog.
The 2023 proposed budget includes emphasis on completing the Comprehensive Zoning Revision. Also included
is additional staff to support affordable housing and address the tenant rights initiatives approved by Council in
2022. The budget also includes funds to support the Redevelopment Authority's work to support economic and
business development, particularly in the downtown core.
The 2023 proposed budget continues to focus on the Borough’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging work.
The DEIB Director was hired in 2022, and the additional stafng for this DEIB work will be completed in early 2023.
Although this budget is not structurally balanced, there are ample fund reserves to fund the budget while
minimizing the need for tax increases. It is important to recognize that long-term projections reect the need to
close the funding gap over the next few years and bring the operating budget back into balance.

Financial Policies
Fund Balance Reserves
In order to enhance the usefulness of fund balance information and in compliance with Statement No. 54 of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, State College uses the following denitions to identify the components of
Fund Balance to designate the level of constraints placed upon reserve funds:
Non-spendable – This category represents funds that are not in spendable form and includes such items as prepaid
expenditures and inventory.
Restricted – This category represents funds that are limited in use due to constraints on purpose and circumstances of spending
that are legally enforceable by outside parties.
Committed – This category represents funds that are limited in use due to constraints on purpose and circumstances of
spending imposed by the Council via adoption of a written resolution at a lawful, public regular meeting, and removal of this
commitment requires the same.
Assigned – This category represents the intention of State College to use the funds for specic purposes. The authority to make
assignments of fund balance is made by the Borough Manager and remains in place until released. The assignment cannot
exceed the available spendable unassigned fund balance in any fund.
Unassigned – This category includes the residual classication for State College’s General Fund and includes all spendable
amounts not contained in other classications.
State College’s policy is to use funds in the order from the most restricted to the least restrictive.
Sufcient fund balances are a critical component of State College’s nancial management policies. Fund balance
reserves provide sufcient funds for unexpected decreases in revenues and/or increases in service needs.
Reserves are limited funds used to smooth uctuations in revenues and expenditures caused by changes in internal
and/or external conditions. The nancial policies that State College reserves in this budget, related to nancial reserves,
are the following:
The maintenance of an adequate fund balance for the General Fund to ensure sufcient resources for cash ow and to mitigate
revenue shortages or emergencies shall be a priority. Prudent use of reserve funds enables State College to defray future costs,
take advantage of matching grant funds and exercise exible nancial planning in developing future capital projects.
State College will maintain Unassigned Reserves to ensure service levels, guarantee stability and protect against economic
downturns and emergencies. On an annual basis, State College will budget reserves in the General Fund in an amount of two
months of projected expenditures.
State College will maintain a Risk Management Insurance Reserve. The purposes of the Risk Management Insurance Reserve
include providing exibility in risk management insurance strategies which would allow self- insuring some of State College’s
risk in the changing insurance market place; providing adequate funds to pay for any deductibles associated with liability
claims; providing funds from which unemployment compensation claims can be paid; maintaining adequate reserves for
excess claims; and providing funds to pay for any early termination fees should State College decide to withdrawal from its
participation in workers’ compensation and liability trusts due to excessive premium increases. The amount of this reserve is
determined and assigned by the Borough Manager on an annual basis in conjunction with the budget adoption process.
State College will maintain a Health Care Insurance Reserve. The purpose of this reserve is to smooth future health care cost
increases in excess of ten percent, based on the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) rate determination
provided by State College’s Health Insurance Administrator. The source of these reserves will consist of the current reserves plus
the refunds of prior year actual experience from the self- insured risk pool. Annual refund amounts may also be used for
wellness, health reimbursement account, health savings account, other health related program expenses or any other purpose
authorized by the Council in this budget. The amount of this reserve is determined and assigned by the Borough Manager on an
annual basis in conjunction with the budget adoption process. The Employee Premium Reduction Fund will maintain a
balance of a maximum of 15% of the projected employees’ share of the premium for the following year. The purpose of the
Employee Premium Reduction Fund is to reduce any annual increases in the employee share to a maximum of 10%. Any excess
funds above the 15% reserve will be distributed to employees who participated in the plan during the year in which the refund
applies. Refund distributions will be allocated based upon the employee contributions during the applicable plan year.
Replacement reserves, based on historical value, will be established for equipment and vehicles. An amount equal to the
depreciation will be included in the service charges paid by departments to the Asset Replacement Fund. This will permit the
accumulation of cash to replace these assets cost-effectively and smooth out future budgetary impacts. State College will also
maintain a xed asset system that will identify all local assets and assess their condition. The xed asset system will be updated
regularly and no less than annually.

Debt Management Policy
State College’s objective is to manage its annual debt service requirements while maintaining the capacity to meet
current and future nancial challenges in the operating and capital budgets.
The costs associated with capital and infrastructure projects undertaken, locally or regionally, may be met with the
issuance of debt, usually in the form of general obligation bonds or a general obligation bank note.
In order to maintain relatively stable Earned Income and Net Prots Tax and Real Estate Tax rates, State College will
undertake analyses of existing debt, current and projected cash ows and proposed future debt before deciding to
issue a new debt obligation or participate in a regional project where State College assumes an obligation for the
payment of debt service.
The purpose of this policy is to articulate the philosophy of the community regarding debt and establish a framework to
guide decisions regarding the use and management of debt for capital and infrastructure projects undertaken locally or
regionally.
The objectives of this policy are to:
Strategically use the State College’s credit to fund projects to meet the highest-priority capital needs for the
community, properly maintain infrastructure assets and provide a platform for economic redevelopment and
growth
Manage State College’s credit to maintain the highest possible credit rating, thereby enabling the issuance of debt
at the most favorable rates and terms
Maintain an appropriate balance between debt service requirements and their impact on the operating and
capital budgets
The following criteria shall govern the issuance of debt by State College:
Debt shall not be used to nance on-going operational costs
Long-term general obligation debt may be incurred, when necessary, to fund the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
or other capital and infrastructure projects undertaken locally or regionally:
Prior to incurring debt, State College shall explore all alternative funding sources for the dened project(s) in
order to minimize the overall level of debt incurred.
Debt funding shall be limited to those capital and infrastructure projects undertaken locally or regionally for
which there is no alternative funding source and where there is a clearly demonstrated current or near-term
need for the project(s)
The proposed debt service structure shall be analyzed to determine its impact on the operating and capital
budgets.
The maturity date of any debt issued to nance the dened project(s) shall not exceed the reasonable expected
useful life of the project(s)
State College shall abide by the requirements of the Local Government Unit Debt Act of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, as well as all other applicable Federal and Pennsylvania statutes.
State College may engage an independent nancial advisor and bond counsel to analyze its current and future
debt structure, prepare debt service schedules and related documents, solicit and evaluate nancing proposals
and meet all legal requirements with respect to the borrowing If general obligation debt is issued to nance
proprietary fund projects supported by revenue producing facilities, State College shall apply to the Pennsylvania
Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for approval to exclude the self-liquidating
portion of the debt allocable to the proprietary fund project(s) from State College’s debt limit under the Local
Government Unit Debt Act.
State College shall encourage and maintain good relations with nancial institutions, bond rating agencies and bond
insurers. State College shall follow a policy of full and open disclosure in all nancial reports and borrowing documents.
Generally, State College’s debt instruments shall be of the xed rate type. Variable rate debt shall be used only as a
source of short-term interim nancing.
State College may consider using Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes as short-term debt instruments to manage cash
ow needs or meet emergency situations.
When issuing debt, State College shall generally seek competitive proposals or conduct a competitive sale via a
recognized internet municipal securities auction site. State College may negotiate about the issuance of debt when it is
deemed to be in the best interest of the municipality.
Borough of State College | 2023 Adopted Page 13

-- 13 of 345 --

Outstanding debt may be renanced if it is determined that the community will achieve a net present value savings of
3% or more over the life of the respective issue. The following limitations shall apply to State College’s General Fund
indebtedness:
Annual General Fund debt service shall not exceed 10% of annual General Fund revenues for debt issued directly
by State College. The organization shall also consider regional debt for which it has an obligation for the payment
of debt service. The combined (i.e. Local and Regional) annual, General Fund debt service shall not exceed 12% of
annual General Fund revenues.
The Borough shall maintain a Debt to Full Value ratio of less than or equal to 5.5%. Full value represents the
estimated market valuation of taxable real property. Full value is calculated by dividing the taxable assessed value
by the Common Level Ratio.
Borough of State College | 2023 Adopted Page 14

-- 14 of 345 --

Structurally Balanced Budget Policy
In order to achieve long-term nancial stability, it is important for local municipalities to achieve and maintain a
Structurally Balanced Budget.
A Structurally Balanced Budget is one in which recurring revenues meet or exceed current expenditures. Use of
reserves and non-recurring revenues should be the exception and should be used only in special circumstances.
Recurring revenues are dened as those revenue sources for which the municipality can reasonably expect to continue
from year-to-year with some degree of predictability. Non-recurring revenues are those that are one-time in nature or
are subject to moderate to substantial swings from year-to-year.
Reserves are the portion of fund balance that is set aside as hedge against risk and cash ow uctuations. State College
adopted a policy in which it maintains a minimum reserve of two months of projected General Fund expenditures.
The Government Finance Ofcers’ Association recommends that governments develop and adopt a Structurally
Balanced Budget policy as best practice.
It is the policy of State College to adopt a Structurally Balanced Budget in which recurring revenues equal or exceed
recurring expenditures. Use of non- recurring revenues to balance the General Fund will be considered the exception,
rather than a normal occurrence.
Purchasing Policy
State College’s Purchasing/Contract/Property Disposition Control Policy can be found in the Codication of Ordinances
under Chapter 1, Part N, which is reproduced below.
This policy governs the purchase of products, goods and services, the making of contracts and the sale or lease of
personal or real property of the Municipality.
The purpose of this policy is to ensure the community complies with all Commonwealth and Federal laws and
guarantee purchases are made in a transparent, scally responsible and consistent manner. You can view this policy
online at https://ecode360.com/32892264.
Investments Policy
This policy governs the investment of operating and capital funds of State College. The purpose of this policy is to ensure
State College’s funds are invested in legal and prudent instruments, consistent with the provisions herein. A separate
policy governs the investment management of pension plans.
The objectives, in priority order, of investment activities shall be:
Safety – Safety of the principal shall be the foremost objective of this policy. All investments shall be undertaken in a manner
that seeks to ensure the preservation of principal in the investment portfolio by mitigating credit or interest rate risk.
Liquidity – The investment portfolio shall remain sufciently liquid to meet all operating requirements that can be reasonably
foreseen. The portfolio shall be structured so that investments mature concurrently with State College’s anticipated cash needs.
Yield – Return on investments is of least importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described. The investment
portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic
cycles, consistent with investment risk constraints and liquidity needs.
Standards of Care
Investments shall be made with due care, skill, diligence and prudence. The standard to be used in managing State
College’s investment portfolio shall be the “prudent person” standard, which means that all investments shall be made
with the judgment that persons of discretion and intelligence would exercise in the management of their own affairs,
not for speculation but for investment, considering the safety of their capital, as well as the return to be derived.
The Public Trust
State College’s investment program is subject to public review and shall be managed with professionalism worthy of
the public’s trust. All employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activities or
interests that could conict with the proper execution and management of the investment program or that could
impair their ability to make impartial decisions.
Borough of State College | 2023 Adopted Page 15

-- 15 of 345 --

All employees involved in the investment process shall disclose, in writing, material interests in entities with which they
conduct business and they shall further disclose personal investment positions that could be related to the
performance of the investment portfolio. Employees shall, at all times, subordinate their personal investment activities
to those of State College.
Investment Authority
Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Borough Manager or his/her designee. Responsibility for
the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the Finance Director, who shall carry out the program
in accordance with the provisions of this policy. The Finance Director shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken
and shall regulate the activities of subordinate employees. No employee may engage in an investment transaction
except as provided in the provisions of this policy.

Pooled investments in accordance with the provisions of the Act of the Pennsylvania General Assembly of July 12,
1972 (P.L. 762, No. 180) or Act of the Pennsylvania General Assembly of March 25, 2016(P.L. 72, No. 10).
Competitive Placement of Certain Investment Types
Prior to the placement of a xed-term investment, the Finance Director shall obtain a minimum of two base rate
quotations from entities authorized to furnish such investment services to the community. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this policy, the investment shall be placed with the entity quoting the highest net rate of return for the term
of the investment.
Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure
the funds of State College are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
Borough of State College | 2023 Adopted Page 16

-- 16 of 345 --

The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The
concept of “reasonable assurance” recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benets likely to be
derived and that the valuation of these costs and benets requires estimates and judgments by management.
The internal controls shall address the following issues:
Control of collusion
Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record-keeping responsibilities
Custodial safekeeping of investments and collateral
Written conrmation of telecommunicated investment transactions
State College’s Auditor shall annually conduct an independent review to assure the internal control structure
adequately and appropriately addresses these and other relevant issues.
Title to Investments and Collateral
All investments shall be titled and/or registered in the name of State College. Collateral pledged to secure the

Capitalization and Depreciation Policy
Background
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require the reporting of capital assets in State College’s nancial
statements. Capital assets are land, improvements to land, easements, buildings, building improvements, vehicles,
machinery, equipment, infrastructure, and all other assets that are used in operations and have an initial useful life
extending beyond a single reporting period.
Authoritative literature, such as Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statements and GFOA recommended
practices, exist to provide guidance in determining capitalization thresholds and estimated useful lives. Whenever
practical to do so, this policy utilizes the guidance provided.
Purpose
This policy is intended to assist management in complying with capital asset nancial reporting required by GAAP and
to outline essential criteria to be utilized when determining replacement of equipment and vehicles owned, operated,
and/or leased by State College.
Specically, it establishes the dollar values (capitalization threshold) at which assets that are used in operations and
have an estimated useful life in excess of two years are capitalized. Capital assets that are not capitalized are expended
in the year of acquisition.
The policy also provides specic guidance for determining the estimated useful life of an asset that, together with the
value of the capital asset and its salvage value (if any), provides the basis for the calculation and recording of
depreciation expenses.
Denition of Capital Projects
The ve-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a compilation of projects that meet the threshold of cost and scope
established for State College’s capital budget. The CIP includes only those items having a value of $100,000 or higher
and an estimated life of six years or longer. Eligible items include:
Acquisition of property
Purchase of new equipment (not covered by depreciation previously set aside and funded by the Asset
Replacement Fund)
Major rehabilitation or replacement of existing facilities or new construction
Capital Asset Summary
The following table provides classications for capital assets and their corresponding capitalization threshold, estimated
useful life and depreciation method.

Asset Classes
Borough of State College | 2023 Adopted Page 18

-- 18 of 345 --

Each individual capital asset shall be classied as land, land improvement, building, building improvement, vehicle,
machinery, equipment, furniture/xtures or infrastructure for the purpose of determining whether the asset is to be
reported as capitalized or expensed.
Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that are stationary in nature and can be preserved for a signicantly
greater number of years than most other capital assets. Examples of infrastructure assets include roads, drainage
systems, trafc signals, alleys, street lighting, sidewalks, and curbs.
In deciding whether a capital asset should be classied as a land improvement or infrastructure, the location of the
asset should be taken into consideration. For example, the street lighting of a parking lot adjacent to the Municipal
Building would be classied as a land improvement, whereas street lighting along a local road would be classied as
infrastructure.
Capitalization Threshold
Whenever the value of an individual asset, as determined by the application of GAAP, is equal to or greater than the
capitalization threshold, the asset is capitalized. Capital assets may be purchased, acquired through donation or self-
constructed. The cost of donated assets is the fair market value at the time of donation. The cost of assets that have
been purchased will be the initial acquisition price plus the trade-in value of any asset given up, plus all costs related to
placing the asset into operation. The cost of self-constructed assets includes all costs of construction. The value of an
individual capital asset includes the cost of any subsequent addition or improvement but excludes the cost of repairs.
An addition or improvement, unlike a repair, either enhances a capital asset’s functionality (effectiveness or efciency)
or it extends a capital asset’s useful life.
Additions or improvements that signicantly extend the useful life of an asset will be capitalized as follows:
Vehicles, Machinery and Equipment – The cost of the addition or improvement must exceed the greater of $5,000 or
50% of the historical cost of the asset.
Buildings and Building Improvements – The cost of the addition or improvement must exceed 10% of the historical
cost of the asset.
Estimated Useful Life
Estimated useful life means the estimated number of months or years that an asset will be able to be used for the
purpose for which it was purchased. In determining the estimated useful life to assign a given asset from the range of
years provided, the following elements should be taken into consideration:
General guidelines from professional organizations
Information about comparable assets from other governments, engineering data, personal experience, internal
information, quality, intended use, environment, maintenance policy, and how long it is expected to meet service
demands
Depreciation Method
Capital assets will be depreciated using the straight-line method. Under this method, the depreciable cost of the capital
asset is written off evenly over the useful life of the asset. The depreciable cost of a capital asset is its historical
cost/acquisition value reduced by the estimated salvage value. Salvage value is the value it is expected to have when it
is no longer useful for its intended purpose. Generally, State College uses its assets until all value is exhausted. Fixed
assets acquired between January 1 and June 30 of the scal year will be depreciated at an annual rate in the rst year.
Fixed assets acquired between July 1 and December 31 of the scal year will be depreciated at 50% of the annual rate in
the rst year.

Accountability
All capital assets that have a historical cost greater than $5,000 will be assigned to a department and recorded in a
perpetual inventory system for control purposes. Assets that have been capitalized (historical cost exceeds the
capitalization threshold) shall be identied with capital asset tags issued by the Purchasing and Risk Management
Director.
A physical inventory will be conducted annually between October 1 and December 15. Using a list provided by the
Purchasing and Risk Management Director, each Department Director will be responsible for conducting the inventory
of the capital assets that have been assigned to their department. All discrepancies must be reported to the Purchasing
and Risk Management Director at the conclusion of the inventory.
Depreciation Expenses
Each department budgets and pays into the Asset Replacement Fund the total estimated replacement value of their
computer, equipment and vehicle assets over their estimated useful/economic life. For a newly purchased vehicle with
an initial cost of $20,000 and an estimated useful life of four years, an amount of $5,000 is expensed as depreciation and
deposited into the Asset Replacement Fund each year over the useful life of the asset. Departments use a 948xx series
account number in budgeting for depreciation of assets.
The following table shows the 948xx series account numbers that are designed for annual depreciation expense.
Account Number 	Description
93710 	Capital Purchases - Land
93720 	Capital Purchases - Improvements
93724 	Capital Infrastructure
93730 	Capital Purchases - Buildings
93740 	Capital Purchases - Computer/Production Equipment
93750 	Capital Purchases - Specialized Equipment
93760 	Capital Purchases - Furniture/Appliances
93775 	Capital Purchases - Major Equipment
93780 	Capital Purchases - Vehicles
Budgeting for New Assets
Departments use a 937xx series account number in budgeting for the acquisition and depreciation of xed assets. Non-
capitalized assets should be budgeted for in other operating accounts. The following table shows the 937xx series
account numbers that are designed for capital assets.
Determining Replacement
All vehicles and equipment have a broad range of useful life expectancy. Life expectancy is typically determined by age,
condition, annual hours used, annual miles driven and annual maintenance costs. As with other aspects of eet
management, replacing a vehicle too soon or too late wastes money.
The primary consideration for determining when a vehicle should be replaced is identifying the point at which, on
average, a vehicle is reasonably depreciated but not yet incurring signicant maintenance costs. By replacing vehicles
at this point, State College can avoid escalating maintenance costs and optimize vehicle resale value. Catastrophic
failures also need to be considered. For example, the residual value of a vehicle, versus the repair costs of major
components, such as an engine and/or transmission, needs to be taken into consideration when replacing any vehicle
and/or equipment.
The condition of a specic vehicle also needs to be taken into consideration as vital replacement criteria. For example,
dump trucks tted with salt spreaders and snowplows are subject to more stress, strain and adverse weather conditions
than a dump truck without those attachments.

Budgetary Processes and Planning
Budget Adoption Process
During the month of September, operating and capital budget requests are prepared by Department Directors and
submitted to the Assistant Manager/Chief Financial Ofcer and Manager.
The Manager either approves or makes changes to the requested budget after consultation with the Department
Directors and key members of the Division of Financial Services staff.
Based upon requests by Council to increase the review time prior to the adoption of the budget, the Annual
Operating Budget documents are now compiled and produced during the months of September and October and
transmitted to Council in late October. Once transmitted to the Council, the budget is available for public comment
and inspection.
During the end of October and month of November, the Council conducts a budget review. A public hearing is
conducted in early December, at which time input, comments and feedback from the public are heard. Following
the formal public hearing process, the Council concludes the budget adoption process with an additional review
session.
By law, State College is required to adopt the budget on or before December 31 of each calendar year.
Managing the Budget
The Manager is authorized to transfer budget amounts between line items within individual departments, so long as
the actual expenditures and operating transfers do not exceed the total authorized budget appropriation of the
individual department. Revisions that alter the total authorized budget appropriation of a department require the
approval of the Council.
All appropriations, which are neither expended, encumbered, nor specically assigned by the Manager to be carried
forward to the next calendar year, lapse on December 31.
Amending the Budget
If, during the scal year, circumstances arise causing a signicant impact on the adopted budget and the services
provided to the community, the budget may be amended.
To begin the amendment process, the Manager submits to the Council a request to amend the budget. The request
contains background, explanations and justications and proposes a nancial plan to fund the proposed
amendment. The amendment process is the same as the adoption process and requires a public hearing, a public
inspection period and formal action by the Council.
Financial Planning Process
Various strategic and scal planning tools are employed at various times along the scal calendar to provide input
and feedback as State College develops its operating plan. The tools analyze, plan, monitor and report, and the tools
are employed in a specic sequence within the system:
Capital Improvement Plan
Annual Operating Budget
Although some of these components are relatively new, State College has used many of these components for years.
Each budget cycle, we build and improve upon the system and each individual component.
Budget Structure and Methodology
State College utilizes a functional budget system. This type of budgeting system identies a level of service and the
resources needed to operate it for each type of program. The Annual Operating Budget also describes the structure
of the individual departments and the programs they operate.
Departmental and programming budgets are separated into the following components, where appropriate:
Overview
Objectives

Detail on Receipts

Fines and Costs, Interest Earnings and Rent, Intergovernmental Revenue, Departmental Services, Sales, Rentals,
Assessments, Miscellaneous and Indirect Costs, Interfund Transfers, and Refunds.
Goals
Encourage revenue base growth through economic revitalization strategies
Maintain reserves at adequate levels to provide for short-term nancial protection of programs and services
Identify additional revenue sources to improve the “nancial sustainability” of State College
Detail on Receipts
Taxes
As a home-rule municipality, State College is generally not subject to the rate limitations set forth in state-enabling
legislation for the following tax levies: Real Estate, Real Estate Transfer, and resident Earned Income and Net Prots.
Real Estate Tax: The Real Estate Tax is one of two principal revenue sources. The budgeted receipts for this tax are
calculated by multiplying the assessed value of the taxable properties listed on the tax roll, which is maintained by
the Centre County Assessment Ofce, by the millage rate determined by Council, less allowable exclusions. For 2021,
State College’s Real Estate Tax rate was 18.260 mills. Centre County and the State College Area School District also
levy the Real Estate Tax at the rates of 7.840 and 46.0875 mills respectively. Tax Services collects the Real Estate Tax
for State College and the State College Area School District, while Centre County collects their own real estate taxes.
A mill is the equivalent of $1 in tax on each $1,000 of a property's assessed value or 0.001 expressed as a decimal. The
assessed value of all real estate on the County's tax rolls is stated in 1995 dollars, the "base year" of the last countywide
property reassessment. At that time, the County xed the ratio of market to assessed value at 50%. Known as the
"common level of assessment," this ratio is calculated annually by the State Tax Equalization Board (STEB). The
common level ratio is used to value new construction and property improvements so that they are placed on the tax
rolls in 1995 base-year dollars, thus maintaining uniformity in the real estate assessments. The common level ratio is
also applied to changes resulting from real estate assessment appeals.
Since 2006, State College has offered homestead exclusion to the owners of dwellings who occupy them as their
principal place of residence. The homestead exclusion supports owner-occupied housing in the community and
shifts a portion of the Real Estate Tax burden to the owners of commercial and income-producing properties.
Approximately 2,023 properties have been qualied for this exclusion by the Centre County Assessment Ofce. Each
qualied property receives an exclusion of $25,000 in assessed value prior to the computation of Real Estate Taxes
due. Mixed-use properties may also receive a proportional exclusion based on the percentage of the property that is
not commercial. Due to the homestead exclusion, State College collects a larger percentage of property tax from
commercial and rental properties than from owner-occupied properties.
Line item 40100 also includes penalties on Real Estate Taxes paid after the discount and face-value periods have
expired. Additionally, it also includes penalties collected on delinquent Real Estate Taxes by the Centre County Tax
Claim Bureau.
Real Estate Transfer Tax: The total rate of property transfers in State College is 3.00%. Of this rate, 1.00% was levied by
the Commonwealth and 1.50% was levied under the Home Rule taxing powers. Additionally, the School District also
levied this tax at 0.50%. The Real Estate Transfer Tax is collected by the Centre County Recorder of Deeds, who remits
it to the levying bodies on a monthly basis, less a collection fee. The revenue from this tax uctuates annually,
depending upon the number and price of properties sold.
Earned Income and Net Prots Tax: The Earned Income and Net Prots Tax is another principal source of revenue
and is remitted primarily through employer withholding. This tax is levied on the earned income and net prots
received by residents, as well as those received by non-residents who have a work site within State College but are
not subject to a similar tax at their legal place of residence. For 2022, the rate for residents will remain at 1.30%, of
which 0.80% is levied through the exercise of Home Rule taxing powers. The rate for non-residents is xed at 1.00%
and may not be increased. The School District also levies this tax on residents at the rate of 0.95%, making the
combined resident rate 2.25% (the School District may not tax non-residents).

-- 35 of 345 --

Local Services Tax: The Local Services Tax is a at $52 tax levied on all persons employed within State College,
regardless of their legal place of residence. Of the total annual tax amount, $5 is levied by the School District, making
State College’s effective rate $47. The Local Services Tax is collected primarily through employer withholding. Tax
Services collects this levy for State College, the School District and, by contract, for all political subdivisions and school
districts within the Centre County Tax Collection district that levy the tax.
Licenses and Permits
Cable Television Franchise Fee: The current cable television franchise agreements with Comcast and Windstream

Commuter Parking Permits: Commuters may purchase a monthly permit that enables them to park their vehicles
on designated streets close to the downtown.
Health Licenses/Permits: Annual licenses are issued for eating and drinking establishments, retail food

required for non-commercially licensed vehicles that wish to use the zones for business purposes.
Residential Parking Permits: Residents of the residential and commuter parking districts may purchase an annual
permit that allows them to park their vehicles on the street beyond the posted time limits.
Residential Rental Permits: While the Centre Region Code Administration (CRCA) agency is responsible for licensing
and inspecting residential rental units, State College regularly performs tasks to address a variety of health and
safety issues related to these units. Inspections occur, on average, once every three years to ensure compliance with
the property maintenance codes. To recoup the costs of performing this work, an annual permit fee per unit is
imposed on the owners of residential rental units in the community. This fee is collected by CRCA, along with the
regional rental housing permit fee, and then remitted to State College. A fee of $25 is charged for processing changes
in the ownership of residential rental units, and staff collects this fee at the time the ownership changes are led.
Sign Permits/Licenses: A permit/license is required for all new signs, which varies depending upon the size of the
sign.

Interest Earnings/Rent
Interest Earnings: Revenue received from interest earned on the investment of temporarily idle funds is determined
by the amounts available for investment and the prevailing market interest rates. State law and State College policy
limit investment options to those that are relatively risk-free. In addition, nancial institutions are required to fully
collateralize municipal deposits in accordance with state law. State College’s idle funds are invested in money market

nancial institutions. A cash concentration account is also maintained for the overnight investment of deposited
funds.

Administration Department
Thomas J. Fountaine, II
State College Borough Manager
State College is a Home Rule municipality with a Council-Manager form of government. Under the Home Rule Charter,
which was adopted in 1973, there is a seven-member Council elected at large, all of which serve four-year overlapping terms.
Council sets policy and has ultimate responsibility for the municipal government.
The Mayor is elected at large and is elected to serve a four-year term. The Mayor presides at Council meetings and
represents the municipality in the community.
The day-to-day operation of the municipality is the responsibility of a professional Manager, who is appointed by Council.
The Manager is responsible for overseeing all of the operating departments, which include Administration, Police, Parking,
Planning, and Public Works. In 2022, the Borough hired an Equity and Inclusion Director, demonstrating our continued
commitment to improving inclusivity through programs and operations. State College is a member of the Centre Region
Council of Governments (COG), which provides public services, including park maintenance and recreation services,
building inspection services, regional planning, library services, emergency management, volunteer re services, and mass
transit. Borough staff at many levels work with COG staff, other local governments, Centre County, and Penn State to
coordinate transportation, housing and infrastructure programs, various projects, and enhance Town-Gown relations.

Communications and Public Information
Overview
Communication and Public Information provides support to all departments within the Borough. Staff will continue to reach
diverse audiences through the Borough's available platforms and outreach methods. As new trends and methods become
available, staff will research and decide if there is anything new to implement that would contribute to maintaining
transparency.
Division Objectives
Monthly Digital Newsletter
In 2023, the Borough will reinstate its newsletter. This will be a monthly digital newsletter utilizing the Borough's
website. Readers can learn more about various Borough services, activities, and projects ranging from refuse schedules
to tips & tricks about living in State College and much more. This project was delayed from 2022 but will begin in
January, 2023.
Zencity Engage
This year, staff had the opportunity to add an additional service to the existing Zencity platform. Zencity Engage allows
staff to utilize an online engagement platform. Some upcoming project pages include the sustainability plan, mobility
plan, and Community Conversations. A new feature of Community Asks, a public survey, has also been utilized. These
are short three-minute surveys that are analyzed and a report is then produced. Over the past year, this has been
utilized for feedback on "No Mow May" and the "Spin Bike Share Program".
National Community Survey
The Borough of State College conducts a community survey of its residents every two years. The Borough had planned
to shift the survey to a ve year cycle with a survey in 2020. However, because the pandemic resulted in many
residences being vacant in 2020, the survey was not conducted.
The rst survey was conducted in 2007. The last survey was conducted in April 2018. This survey, which includes many
questions related to the Borough's safety, livability, vibrancy, and sustainability, is now expected to be conducted in April
2023.
The National Community Survey (NCS) survey will be sent to approximately 5,000 residents in the Borough. The NCS
provides an analysis that compares the survey results with prior years for the Borough and compares the Borough
results with benchmark communities across the country.

Human Resources
Overview
The Human Resources staff recruits and retains a stable, diverse, productive, competent, and talented workforce to
improve Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) in the Borough. This will lead to a more diverse work force that
represents the people that live in the Borough. Staff includes a Director and a Generalist, who provide services to full-
time, part-time, and seasonal employees. This Division is responsible for recruitment and selection of employees,
employee benet plan administration, and coordination of salary and wage information. Human Resources works
closely with the Financial Services Division for payroll administration and benet-cost calculations for budget
projections. The budget projections provide necessary information for the Council and Manager to make nancially
sound decisions to meet the strategic goal of being scally resilient in the upcoming year.
Division Objectives
Authorities, Boards, Committees, and Commissions (ABC) Membership Diversity Drive
In 2023, the staff will continue to work on an analysis of ABC membership and develop a marketing strategy to diversify
the members of the various ABCs. Where appropriate, staff will update ABC meeting times and tenures to encourage
diverse participation. This will ensure that the Borough’s Authorities, Boards, Committees, and Commissions are
meeting the strategic goal of being welcoming and engaging by getting the community members, long-term
residents, and students engaged and active in civic life.
Enhance Mental Health Opportunities and Resources for Employees
In 2023, Human Resources will continue to promote and provide in-house Employee Assistance Program (EAP) lunch and
learns and will also provide various opportunities for employees to receive support from the EAP program. Human Resources
will, also, be implementing an additional mental health support program called “Cope Notes”. The program uses daily text
messages to train the brain to think healthier thoughts. Each employee will be enrolled in the program, where text messages
will be sent that will combine peer support, digital journaling, and positive psychology to interrupt negative thought patterns
with an exercise, a psychology fact, or another catalyst for positive growth. In addition, Human Resources will be researching
other Mental Health options to provide the support needed by employees, to include potential mandatory Employee Assistant
Program sessions for all employees.
Recruitment and Retention
In 2023, Human Resources will work with the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to develop strategies to improve
recruitment efforts and retain employees. As part of that effort, we will be looking at ways to improve diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belonging by attending trainings and workshops, and marketing our open positions at job fairs and
recruitment events. Human Resources will continue its effort to revise job descriptions to eliminate biases and develop
postings that encourage diverse candidates. In addition, Human Resources will be putting together proposals to
present to the Manager ways to improve/enhance our employee benet package.

Regulations, including developing and reviewing specications for bid packages, maintaining vendor contacts to
enhance procurement of all municipal services and supplies, and reviewing contracts. The Risk Management function
includes reviewing all lines of insurance to ensure the Borough maintains appropriate coverage in the most cost-
effective manner; managing and ling claims with the appropriate insurance carriers including, but not limited to,
automobile, property, workers’ compensation and general liability claims; and working with the State College Borough’s
Safety and Wellness Committees to promote safe work practices and healthy lifestyle choices. Risk Management
services are also provided under contract to the Centre Region Council of Governments.
Division Objectives
Risk Management Plan/Continuity of Operations Plan
In 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic shifted resources in unprecedented ways, but in many ways proved the value
of the Borough’s prior Continuity of Operations planning. In 2023, staff will continue critical analysis and propose
revisions to the Borough's pandemic response plan. Division staff will continue to rene and build upon the adopted
Accident & Illness Prevention Program in 2023.
New Munis Modules
During 2023, the ERP system will be enhanced by the implementation of new modules for Contracts, Bidding, and
Vendor Access. The additions of the Bidding and Vendor Access modules will have particular impact on the
procurement functions of the municipality. With these new modules, vendors can register themselves for all relevant
products and services; bids can be managed electronically, including automated bid responses; solicitations for bids can
be sent to select vendors or the entire vendor le at the click of a mouse. The enhancements offered by these programs
will allow staff to effectively target procurement opportunities to Minority-, Women-, and Veteran-Owned Business
Enterprises.
Employee Health and Safety Incentive Program
Staff will continue working within the Borough’s Wellness and Safety Committees in 2023 to develop and implement
health and safety incentive programs for employees tailored to the needs of the individual departments.

Implement processes and tools that position State College to become a “Smart City”
Gauge government and commercial IT trends and correlate implications regarding resident expectations.
Focus on access and security of mobile devices.
Build on intrusion and data-loss prevention while maintaining and improving transparency
Computerized Maintenance Management System
In 2022, the Information Technology (IT) department worked with the Public Works department to develop a request for
proposal (RFP) for procurement and installation of a Computerized Maintence Management System (CMMS). This
system will provide for better management and reporting of borough assets and job costs. In 2023, IT will assist with
implementing the selected system and working with the vendor on any technical requirements.
Geographic Information System
In 2022, the division welcomed a new Geographic Information System (GIS) Analyst. The initial focus of the GIS Analyst
going into 2023 will be for Special Events Handling, Crime Data Mapping, and working with the CMMS system.
Green Light Go
In 2019, the Borough applied for Green Light Go funding with PennDOT. The Borough was awarded with a matching
grant in 2021. Phase one of the project is to replace the old connectivity between our trafc signals on Beaver, College,
and Park Avenues with a high-speed ber network. This will allow for enhancing the trafc control system, allow for
additional locations for cameras and sensors, and provide for possible future use of 5G networks, connected vehicles,
and other technologies. In 2022, the existing conduit was examined and areas requiring repair were identied. In 2023,
work will be completed by Borough Engineering, to repair broken sections and install new underground connections.
Network Equipment Refresh
In 2022, design was completed for replacement of this equipment and a vendor was selected. Due to supply chain
constraints, deliveries of these new assets are being projected into 2023 and possibly 2024. The new equipment will be
installed as it arrives to upgrade the infrastructure. These devices are generally replaced on a 7-year schedule and are
due for replacement. This includes the core switching/routing, distribution switches, and wireless access points at the
Municipal Building, Service Facility, and the parking garages.
Camera Refresh
In 2022, the camera committee consisting of users from IT, Parking, Public Works, and the Police Department
reconvened to begin discussions on replacement of the downtown, neighborhood, and municipal facilities cameras. The
committee was able to demo equipment from multiple vendors and will be putting out a Request For Proposals for an
implementer of the selected system. The initial project was in 2014, and the existing radio and camera equipment is due
for replacement. The committee is working on identifying additional locations, improvements in technology, and
enhancement of the overall system.
Police Records System
In 2022, a committee was formed consisting of members of the Borough, Penn State University, Ferguson and Patton
Townships, to start work on replacing the shared police records system. The committee decided to hire a consultant to
help procure and implement the new shared system. A Request For Proposals developed by Penn State University will
be used to hire the consultant. In 2023, the committee will work with the selected consultant on developing a Request
For Proposal and then selecting the replacement Records Managment System.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging
The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Division is responsible for coordinating and guiding efforts to make
State College a welcoming and engaging community for everyone. The Department strives to ensure equal access to
public services and advocates for inclusion by collaborating with all Borough Departments. An essential role of the
Department is to develop relationships with underrepresented persons and groups. Departmental staff will also

Departmental Objectives
Community Oversight Board for the State College Police Department
The Department Director will serve as the Board Coordinator for the Community Oversight Board (COB) for the State
College Police Department (SCPD) and the Department will offer administrative support for the Board. The COB was
established to provide oversight of the SCPD through independent analysis of problems and underlying issues to
reduce or eliminate systemic bias, prevent misconduct, strengthen police-community relations, and build partnerships
that promote trust and understanding between law enforcement and the community. The Community Oversight
Board is assigned to receive, process, and investigate complaints about the State College Police Department and
facilitate resolution of these complaints.
Race Equity Plan
The Borough of State College contracted with the National League of Cities’ Race Equity and Leadership (REAL)
program to develop a local racial equity plan. The Department of Equity & Inclusion will oversee the nalization and
implementation of this race equity plan by working with municipal staff and engaging with the community to ensure
the plan best meets the needs of the community. The goal of the plan is to normalize racial equity as a key value and
have a clear understanding and shared denitions, operationalize equity through the development of new polices; and
by transforming the underlying culture of the organizations, organize both internally and in partnership with other
institutions and the community.
Organizational Training & Support
The Department will oversee the development and facilitation of diversity, equity, and inclusion training across all
Borough departments. This will ensure that policies, procedures, budget decisions, and other borough functions are
evaluated using an equity lens as part of the decision-making. The Department's initial task will be to analyze current
procedures and policies and develop a training plan.

Public Health and Ordinance Enforcement
Roger A. Dunlap, Jr.
Assistant Borough Manager
Public Health
Public Health is responsible for preventing and controlling disease, promoting healthy lifestyles, and educating and
enforcing laws that protect public health. Public Health also addresses other public health concerns through and in
cooperation with the Board of Health. Restaurant Licensing and Inspections is the major program within this
workgroup, which is conducted within the Borough of State College and the Townships of Ferguson, Patton, and
College.
In 2022, Public Health continued to focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and will likely have to continue to do so into
2023. The Health Ofcer is responsible for communicating with restaurants, businesses, and the public, educating
them on the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) guidelines and
regulations relative to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Also in 2021, the Borough began to research the feasibility of establishing a local or county-wide Act 315 health
department. The Borough previously studied this in 2009. As the staff worked on the research, the need for
consulting services became apparent. In the Fall of 2021, the Borough contracted with a consultant who has extensive
experience with implementing Act 315 Health Departments in Pennsylvania to conduct a feasibility study. The study
is currently being evaluated by the County and the Borough to determine if a 315 Health Department should be
established. This decision is expected in early 2023.
Ordinance Enforcement
Ordinance Enforcement is responsible for actively educating residents about local laws and enforcing various
sections of Chapters of the Borough Code including Animals (Chapter I), Building and Rental Codes (Chapter IV),
Conduct (Chapter V), Fire Protection and Fire Prevention (Chapter VI), Gargage and Refuse (Chapter VIII), and Health
and Sanitation (Chapter IX). Ordinance Enforcement Ofcers also provide animal control services to College and
Harris Townships.

Division Objectives
Education Programs
Staff will continue outreach initiatives to educate residents and businesses on property maintenance and the various
Borough ordinances. Staff will also contact property owners and/or tenants who have had multiple violations at their
property to provide targeted education regarding ways for owners and/or tenants to mitigate the ongoing violations. In
addition, staff will include information about the proper maintenance of sidewalks and other ordinance violations on
the website and through social media as needed.
Rental Housing Educational Materials
The Department will distribute educational materials to tenants and rental property owners to increase outreach to
Persons-in-Charge, property owners, tenants, and visitors. Through educational programs, email notications, use of
social media and updates to the website, the Department will increase knowledge of local ordinances and the Centre
Region Building Safety and Property Maintenance Code regulations as they pertain to rental permitting and new
construction. The Department will also continue to work with the Penn State Ofce of Off Campus Legal Services to
address landlord/tenant issues involving student residents.
Ordinance Enforcement
The Ordinance Enforcement Ofcers patrol for and respond to complaints of various local ordinance violations that
impact the quality of life in our neighborhoods. The most common ordinance violations that occur include the following:
Refuse including party materials on lawns and porches
Grass/Weeds/Brush more than six (6) inches
Snow/Ice on Sidewalks
Recycling – proper recycling and removing containers from curb after collection
Dog Ordinance - enforcement is also provided to College Township and Harris Township and often involves
complaints regarding dogs at large, excessive barking, failure to have dog vaccinated and registered, not
removing dog feces, and animal bites.
Enhanced Ordinance Violation Notication
In 2020, the Borough began to provide same day notication to property owners and Persons-in-Charge (PIC) of
ordinance violations at their properties. This was done for those property owners and PIC’s who provided the Borough
with a valid email address. This email notication replaced the traditional notication via U.S. mail that usually takes 2-3
days for the owners and PIC’s to receive. This more-timely notication will continue.
Nuisance Property Ordinance Management
The Supervisor of Inspections is responsible for updating weekly the Nuisance Property Report. This weekly update
determines if any properties have accumulated ve (5) or more or 10 or more points associated with nuisance violations.
For properties accumulating 5 or more points, a letter is sent requiring the property owner to submit a Correction
Action Plan (CAP) for the property. If 10 or more points are accumulated, the rental suspension process is initiated. The
Supervisor of Inspections also ensures the updated weekly nuisance property reports are loaded onto the Borough’s
web site so property owners can monitor the nuisance violations/points for their property anytime.
Rental Permitting
Staff will continue to work with the Centre Region Code Agency on our annual rental permitting. Staff will also he
coordinate with the Planning and Zoning Staff on student home licensing. As of September 2022, there were 10,819
rental permits issued in State College Borough.
Coordination with Zoning Enforcement
Ordinance Enforcement staff will continue to coordinate with Zoning Enforcement on research and evaluation of short-
term rental properties in State College – primarily related to Tourist Homes and Short-Term Rentals.

Borough of State College | 2023 Adopted Page 93

-- 93 of 345 --

The Public Health staff will continue to conduct annual restaurant inspections at every food establishment in the
Borough and the three (3) jurisdictions served by the Borough’s Public Health Department. In addition, staff will
continue to investigate all complaints received regarding the safety of food or food handling at these restaurants.
In 2020, the Borough began to post online for easy access by the public all restaurant inspection reports which will
include any violations that inspectors nd during inspections. This will continue.
Safe Food Handling Education
Staff will continue offering food safety programs for both non-prot and for-prot food facilities to lessen the potential
for foodborne illness outbreaks in the Centre Region.
Disease Control
Staff will continue to monitor the potential for outbreaks of risk to public health, such as inuenza epidemics and the
COVID-19 pandemic, and work with other public health entities, including the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, to respond and prevent such threats, and reduce exposure. The Department continues to work closely with
Centre County to reduce exposure to diseases from vectors such as mosquitoes.

Community Engagement
Kevin D. Kassab
Manager Ofce of Community Engagement
The Ofce of Community Engagement brings residents together to understand each other’s life differences and the
diversity within the community. This is done by offering appealing community events such as the LION (Living in One
Neighborhood) Bash. The Ofce of Community Engagement supports a partnership between Penn State University and the
Borough of State College. Bringing the residents together like this improves neighbor, neighborhood, and community
relations.

Departmental Objectives
Ofce of Community Engagement
In order to support the Council's goals and priorities, the Ofce of Community Engagement works closely with everyone that
lives within the Borough of State College. The Ofce helps improve diversity, equity, and inclusivity in making State College
Borough a more diverse community by hosting a wide variety of events. This wouldn't be possible without the Town and Gown
relationship with Penn State University and the support of the Downtown Improvement District. Below are some of the
reoccurring events/initiatives that would not be possible without these partnerships.
Living In One Neighborhood (LION) Initiative
Living in One Neighborhood (LION) is an initiative that was started years ago and is still in place today. Part of this initiative is
the LION Bash, which is an annual treat that the whole community enjoys. This community resource is a fair/block party, but it
is also a way to welcome new long-term residents and new student residents to the area. By having vendors and engagement
stations, everyone in the community is encouraged to seek out new experiences and network with others.
In 2022, in partnership with Penn State University and Left Right Repeat, LION Dash was able to return. This 5k race brought
out 54 participants and raised $875 for Centre Safe. The Ofce of Community Engagement looks forward to continuing this
partnership for next year's event.
In 2023, The Ofce of Community Engagement, in partnership with other internal departments, will bring back LION Chats.
These short, interactive sessions will allow staff to interact with the public on specic topics.
Multicultural Unity Fair
The Multicultural Unity Fair is a great learning event for all members of the community. Individuals with different identities
and from different cultures are encouraged to share their backgrounds with one another in a way that uplifts and enlightens
the community. This event is made possible through a partnership with the Diversity Group and with participation from Penn
State University and other vital community organizations.
Diversity Conference
The Diversity Conference is a bi-annual conference organized and hosted by Diversity Group and Borough of State College. The conference always
has a keynote speaker to talk about diversity within a community. This conference includes individuals from all backgrounds (e.g. police, municipal
elected ofcials, community leaders, residents) and offers group sessions about diverse community issues.
Pride
Pride creates a safe space for LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queers, etc.) residents and visitors in the area who
may otherwise not feel included. The Centre LGBTQ+ Area Network played a large role in this year’s Pride events.
Movies Under the Stars
Movies Under the Stars was a new event in 2022 that occurred throughout the summer. This was a movie series that brought
together community members of all ages to Sidney Friedman Park to enjoy an outdoor movie and some delicious popcorn.
Municipal Equity Index (MEI)
The Ofce of Community Engagement seeks to make all members of the community feel included and welcomed through
things such as the Municipal Equity Index (MEI). This index helps create a baseline of equity within the State College LGBTQ+
community. While we still wait for the 2022 results, the Borough scored a perfect score of 100 plus 6 bonus points for 2021.

Insurance Reserve
The State College Borough established a Risk Reserve account in the early 1980's within the General Fund to develop
a reserve that could self-insure certain lines, provide a vehicle to better manage insurance policy cost increases by
covering a portion of risk, and provide a smoothing mechanism for cost increases.
In 2014, the organization moved the reserve to a separate accounting fund (B103) and changed the title to Insurance
Reserve. This account can supply additional appropriations for Workers’ and Unemployment Compensation, since
State College is self-insured for unemployment claims. This account is also used to cover the deductibles for policy
lines which carry deductibles, to support employee wellness programs, and for health insurance costs for retirees.
Establishing and maintaining the Insurance Reserve Fund demonstrates the Borough's continued commitment to
economic sustainability. The amount of reserve in this fund is set at $1,400,000. Funds in excess of this amount may
be reprogrammed for use as needed in the General Fund.

Parking Department
Tom Brown
Parking Director
The Parking Department provides convenient off-street and on-street parking at a reasonable rate for shoppers,
merchants, employees, and visitors to Downtown State College.
The parking system includes over 2,200 metered parking spaces and on-street residential parking areas. New
technologies continue to make it easier for the Parking Department to provide parking options for citizens that
balance costs, walking distances, and length of stay depending upon visitors' parking priorities.
The Parking Department is committed to working towards achieving the Council's goals. In this budget, the
Department has committed funds to making improvements to bike and pedestrian safety in the Borough's parking
facilities and lots, including the new Nittany Lot which is scheduled to be constructed in late 2023. And, the Parking
Department plans to include bike parking facilities, including solar arrays on the roof levels and electric charging
facilities in the design of a new parking garage. The Department's long-term goals also include continuation of the
partnership with the Downtown Business Community to help revitalize downtown businesses and the arts.

Division Objectives
Parking Supply and Demand
Staff will work to identify opportunities from the recently completed parking study completed by Kimley-Horn. There
are several operational strategies included in the report that staff will continue working to implement in 2023 and 2024.
The study did show that parking demand in public-owned spaces was at or near capacity and a long-term strategy to
deal with the lack of parking is needed. This information and the age of the parking facilities make this a high priority.
Transportation Demand-Based Strategy-Curbside Management Plan
A curbside management plan has been discussed since 2018. Curbside management is simply maximizing the use of
space in the right of way to accommodate different types of passenger and commercial vehicles.
Traditionally, the curb has accommodated short-term parking and loading and unloading of commercial vehicles. New
markets (such as Uber, Lyft, and Grubhub) have created a need for a new type of short-term parking. These new spaces
create a new challenge of enforcing and monetizing the curbside space that existed before. This is also being addressed
in the new study being conducted by Kittelson & Associates, Inc. 
Maintain Safe and Inviting Parking Facilities
The strong working relationship between departments results in facilities that meet and exceed the expectations of the
community. The Borough parking facilities have required maintenance work that is being completed now and minimal
work will need to be completed in a 2023 project.
Support the Community
The Parking Department suffered a signicant amount of lost revenue in 2020 and 2021. However, as we have returned
to business as usual, revenue has begun to rebound. We will continue to support local groups by providing low-cost or
free parking for Borough-sponsored events, the validation program that we co-sponsor with the Downtown
improvement District, and the Holiday Parking Program.

Ed LeClear

The Planning Department's mission is to preserve and enhance the quality of life for community residents, visitors,
and businesses. Staff prepares and implements strategies to enhance the long-range development of the
community while identifying mechanisms to improve community sustainability. This Department implements
strategies to encourage mixed-use and mixed-income development while expanding the Borough’s economic base.

and through the implementation of the Borough's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. The Department budget
supports Council's second and third short-term priorities through the work on the Calder Way infrastructure project
and updating the 2013 Downtown Master Plan to enhance bike and pedestrian infrastructure. The Department
continues to work with the Redevelopment Authority and the Downtown State College Improvement District to
support the goal of enhancing business partnerships for downtown vitality. Completion of the Business Recruitment
and Retention Strategy in 2023 will lead to programs to support small businesses and assist in lling vacant
storefronts downtown.

Bellaire Court
The Bellaire Court provides affordable, quality housing for senior citizens who would not otherwise be able to live in State
College. This budget covers receipts and expenditures for the operation of the 18-unit senior citizen apartment building.
Operated by the Borough Planning and Public Works Department staff, Bellaire Court provides housing for low-to-
moderate income senior citizens.
Planning Department staff serve as the main contact with tenants, screen applications, maintain the waiting list for
apartments, conduct annual income evaluations, and adjust rents accordingly.
Planning Department staff will coordinate repairs. Ground maintenance and snow removal services are completed by the
Public Works staff.
Health Department staff inspect all apartments periodically to ensure they are maintained in a safe and sanitary condition
and respond to tenant complaints about health and sanitation issues. State College Police Department ofcers respond to
event and weekend calls for service. The Financial Services division maintains account records and receives rent payments
from tenants.
The Planning Department administers the budget for Bellaire Court. The 2023 budget aligns closely with Council's highest
long-term and short-term priorities of creating affordable housing. Those individuals living in Bellaire Court would not be
able to afford to live in the Borough without the subsidized rents provided by the Borough.

Department Objectives
The SCPD has primary police programs to help it meet its mission. These programs include Crime Prevention, Crime
Control, Trafc Safety, Intergovernmental Public Safety Services and Organizational Support. The programs and
activities of the SCPD support the State College Borough Council's goals by prioritizing increased diversity, equity, and
inclusion within the department and in interactions with the community, providing substantive community
engagement, and incorporating mental health support initiatives that are responsive to the needs of the community
we serve. Additionally, the SCPD wants to promote bike and pedestrian safety through education and awareness
initiatives in support of the Council's goals to increase bike and pedestrian safety, as well as reduce carbon emissions
and improve sustainability. Through partnerships with community organizations such as Community Conferencing to
address community concerns, the SCPD's activities and programs align with the Council's goal to promote restorative
justice initiatives.
The following provides specic programs and activities that address the State College Borough Council's goals:
2022 Assessment of the State College Police Department
In 2020, the International Association Chiefs of Police (IACP) completed their comprehensive assessment of the State
College Police Department and issued their nal report that resulted in forty-seven (47) recommendations. The Chief of
Police established an internal committee, chaired by a Lieutenant and comprised of a cross section of the departments
subject matter experts, to review and act upon the recommendations. The committee has met several times and has
further broken down the work into various sub – committees to provide greater focus and expertise on the
recommendations. An IACP Report and Recommendations Dashboard was implemented on the State College
Borough website to publicly display the progress toward addressing the forty-seven (47) recommendations.
As a result of the IACP report, in January of 2022, the department contracted with the Police Executive Research Forum
(PERF), which conducted interviews with the sworn ofcers and command staff in order to make recommendations
regarding internal operations. In response to the report, the department has formed committees to address the
recommendations. Two committees have been formed concerning the internal affairs process and rank structure.
In 2022, under the recommendation of the Community Oversight Board, the department is engaging with the Center
for Policing Equity (CPE) to conduct a Data Gap Analysis. The analysis will identify gaps in data collection that would
allow the Centre for Policing Equity to complete a full and accurate study of policing equity within the State College
Police Department.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The department continues to focus on increasing diversity within the department staff, striving for equity in community
engagement, training and policy, while creating an environment of inclusivity throughout the department and
community.
Community Oversight Board
A Community Oversight Board was established in January of 2022. The purpose of the board is to increase police
department transparency and community trust. The oversight board is specically charged with oversight of the police
department policies and procedures, education and training, and outreach and community engagement.
Civilian Response Team
In order to be more responsive to the national dialogue on race, the concerns and needs expressed here locally, and the
current state of policing in general, the State College Police Department is exploring ways to make better use of our
available resources. Part of the plan moving forward is to provide a greater emphasis on community involvement in
solving problems and less dependence on police to solve non-criminal matters.
In early 2022, the department was awarded a PCCD grant which allowed the department to employ a full-time civilian
police social worker to intervene in calls involving the homeless, some civil disputes, assist with mental health calls, and
to provide information and follow up with citizens about the available services offered. This is freeing up sworn police
ofcers to engage in more traditional police work and alleviating some of the burden and stress that has been placed
on them. In part, the SCPD expects this will allow for a greater dialogue between the Department and our community
and promote transparency.

Chief Gardner attended the National Conference on Police Social Work in Bloomington, Indiana to explore successful
methods of integrating social work and police work. Also in 2022, the police social worker, and the Lieutenant
supervising the social worker program attended the National Conference on Police Social Work. As the civilian police
social worker program grows and is successful, the department will look to hire additional social workers in the coming
years.
In 2023, a Civilian Response Team will be developed to assist police in responding to non-criminal and low potential for
violence calls for service. Such calls could include homelessness, property disputes, keys in vehicles, property checks, and
other requests for service calls that have traditionally handled by uniformed police ofcers.

Relations/Crime Prevention (CR/CP) ofcer and the Community Police Representatives. The PSS includes one
Lieutenant, one Community Relations Police Ofcer, one Police Data and Communications Specialist and one
Community Service Representative. The Department is also moving forward with a plan to hire a civilian Community
Relations Specialist, whose primary focus will be diversity, equity, and inclusion. The department has been awarded a
PCCD Justice Assistance Grant to hire and implement the civilian Community Relations Specialist program in the fall of
2022 through 2024.

Public Works Administration Division
The Administration Division of the Public Works Department administers activities of the various divisions of the
Public Works Department in a cost-effective manner and provides engineering, construction, and technical support
services to all Borough departments. The Division is also responsible for administrative services for municipal facilities,
bus terminal, streets, shade trees and parks, sustainability, refuse and compost operations, sanitary sewer, and eet
services. The Division oversees the administration of all contracted services.
The Engineering team as part of this Division provides planning, regulatory compliance, plan review, inspection,
design, drafting, supervision, engineering, construction management, mapping, and land surveying services for most
State College facilities and projects. This team also manages all Borough owned underground utilities and
infrastructure through use of Geographic Information System (GIS) data and helps protect Borough Street trees.
Division Objectives
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
The Public Works Department will continue regional efforts in community education and involvement, pollution
reduction and recordkeeping in accordance with PA DEP issued MS4 permit for our storm sewer system. Staff works
annually to meet the requirements of the six (6) minimum Control Measures (MCM’s) and selects cost-effective storm
sewer projects to meet the water quality requirements per the MS4 permit.
Project Management Plans
The department will produce a Project Management Plan for each construction project and document its related
progress. These plans include a project description, budget, bid schedule, a public relations and communications plan,
project closeout and as-built documentation, and updates to all paper and electronic records.
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS)
The CMMS system will begin in early 2023 and will take twelve to twenty-four months to fully implement. The system
will greatly improve quality control, asset and maintenance management, workow improvements and improve
tracking and reporting capabilities. The system will allow managers to assign tasks and duties related to maintenance
and improvements of the Borough’s various assets. The system will allow all divisions to be better equipped to receive,
create, and respond to regular and non-emergency maintenance tasks, which will result in improved asset
maintenance and resident satisfaction.
Sustainability Division
The Sustainability Division of the Public Works Department works collaboratively with other Borough departments,
divisions, and community partners to improve efciency and resiliency as it relates to sustainability. This includes the
development of adaptation strategies and best management practices that will help the Borough focus on a vision and
achieve long-range goals. The Borough’s sustainability program seeks to develop initiatives aimed at increasing staff
knowledge, developing community partnerships, and fostering sustainable best management practices.

Division Objectives
Climate Protection Community- Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Resolution 944 (2007) committed the Borough to being a Climate Protection Community. The Sustainability Program
Ofce will conduct a community-level greenhouse gas inventory every three years to monitor for improvements.
Climate Action, Resiliency and Environmental Sustainability Plan
In 2023, the Borough will develop a new climate action and sustainability plan with the assistance of the Manager’s in-
house Sustainability Committee.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Cities and Communities
Certication
The Borough has been selected to participate in the 2022 National Cohort of the LEED for Cities Local Government
Leadership Program. The LEED for Cities certication provides a comprehensive framework for planning, designing,
measuring, and managing the performance of social, economic, and environmental conditions at the community level.
This certication will serve as an equity and sustainability accelerator and will assist the Borough further in its progress
on climate change, social equity, sustainability, and resiliency.
Active Transportation
The Borough’s Next Generation Connectivity and Mobility Plan will lead the way in active transport in the Borough. The
Borough will also apply for grants to support the construction of active transportation infrastructure. Community and
coalition building techniques will be used to help educate and empower the community for safe and smart cycling.
More events will be sponsored by the Borough that incentivize community members to get out of cars and onto bikes.
The Borough also plans to launch the bicycle ambassador program to better involve the community.
Energy Efciency
The Borough anticipates reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector by collaborating with the
appropriate departments. The Sustainability Division will assist with the Solar Power Purchasing Agreement,
Community Solar Powered options, Ordinance updates, and building improvements and educational outreach.
Environmental Stewardship
Environmental stewardship will include educating employees and residents on sustainable best practices. The Division
will also support an AmeriCorps member to improve outreach in the community regarding environmental education,
community sustainability, and civic engagement.

Municipal Facilities Division
The Facilities Division of Public Works is charged with maintaining and improving all Borough-owned facilities,
including the Municipal Building, Maintenance Facility, Sidney Friedman Park, four parking structures, the Bellaire
Court Retirement Facility, and the North Atherton Street Bus Terminal. The Facilities Division is responsible for
custodial care, building maintenance, snow removal, and assistance with special events. By contract, the Facilities
Division performs similar services to Schlow Library.
Division Objectives
Energy Efciency Projects
Borough staff continues to strive for energy efciency in
all facilities. Projects underway include lighting
replacements in the Municipal Building, ne tuning of
lighting controllers in all Borough facilities, and HVAC
upgrades and replacements.
Sustainability Initiatives
The Facilities Division began using a new chemical
distribution system and chemical line in 2022. This new
system delivers a 99% evacuation rate of chemicals,
meaning less waste, and utilizes 83% less plastic in
packaging material than previous systems, reducing the
amount of material sent to the landll. The majority of
chemicals in this line are Green Seal Certied, increasing
the safety of staff and facility users, and improving the
health of our environment. The division will continue to
seek ways to contribute to sustainability in the future.
Facility Upgrades
In 2023, budget funds have been programmed to both
heat and insulate the current cold storage building at the
Maintenance Facility. Experience has shown due to the
size and construction type of this building, temperature
and moisture levels have a negative impact on
equipment stored inside, along with increasing the risk of
slip and fall events for Public Works staff. This project will
make the area safer, along with improving the conditions,
and prolonging the life of the equipment that utilizes this
space.
Outside Contracts
The Borough will continue to provide cost-effective,
responsive contracted custodial and preventive
maintenance services with contract oversight for repairs
and service contracts for the Schlow Centre Region
Library. The Borough is anticipating moving from an
annual contract review to a multi-year contractual term
to improve personnel, nancial, and project planning for
both entities. The Borough will consider other potential
contracts for maintenance and custodial care for other
agencies and/or locations that provide additional xed
revenue sources and exibility for existing and future
Borough staff.

Bus Terminal
The Bus Terminal Fund provides funds for the operation and maintenance of the Centre Region Bus Terminal,
located at 152 North Atherton Street. This facility is an inter-city bus terminal that provides ofce space and bus
parking for private bus operators. This facility meets the Borough’s strategic goals by providing a clean, efcient, and
convenient inter-city transit hub for residents, students, and visitors.
The facility was originally constructed as a railway station for Bellefonte Central Railroad. When the company
abandoned the Bellefonte-State College railway line in 1972, the facility was donated to Penn State University and
later leased to State College for the cost of $1.00 per year. The current agreement assigns the University responsibility
for capital improvements and major repairs, and the Borough is responsible for minor repairs and custodial care.

Public Works Streets Division
The appropriation in the streets division covers the cost of the Public Works streets crew, emergency weekend standby pay,
and transportation-related expenses that are ineligible under other funding sources. This Division maintains the local
infrastructure including: streets, storm sewers, street lighting, signs, and trafc signals in a manner that reinforces our safe
and livable critical success factor.
This Division completes accessible curb ramp installation and repair to ensure walkability and multi-modal path access.
Trafc control devices are deployed for special events in the community to ensure a safe and welcoming event. Staff will
work together with PennDOT and regional partners on programs to improve project efciency and help reduce overall
project costs.
Division Objectives
Infrastructure Improvements
Two additional staff positions are included in the budget.
These two additional staff persons in the 2023 budget will
allow the construction crew to be fully staffed as a ve (5)
person crew as it was originally intended when the crew was
created. Staff will focus on needed repairs such as street,
path, and curb-gutter maintenance, where crack sealing,
milling, patching, and spray patching can be done to extend
pavement life. Outfall inspections required as part of our
annual MS4 program help staff identify parts of the
stormwater system that need maintenance or that are
failing and need replacement.
Snow Removal Optimization
The Borough will replace salt spreading equipment with new
technology, including electronically calibrated equipment
and a Global Postioning System (GPS) based reporting
capabilities. Staff will continue to pursue ways to improve
snow removal and de-icing operations through efcient,
effective, environmentally, and economically sustainable
operations.
Highway Aid Fund
The Highway Aid Fund uses Liquid Fuels revenue distributed
to Pennsylvania counties and municipalities in accordance
with a street mileage and population formula funded from
Commonwealth taxes on motor fuels. These revenues are
placed in a separate fund and disbursed in accordance with
Commonwealth guidelines. PennDOT will conduct an annual
audit to ensure compliance with the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation scal policies.
The Highway Aid Fund includes appropriations for the
maintenance of streets (including curbs and sidewalks),
trafc control devices, street lighting, storm sewers, and
designated vehicles as permissible. While eligible, street
resurfacing, street reconstruction, and other major street
improvements have been funded primarily through State
College’s Capital Projects Fund.

Shade Tree/Parks Division
The Shade Tree/Parks Division of the Public Works Department plants, maintains, and removes trees in the grass plot
areas along municipal streets and in local parks. The Division also provides full landscape maintenance for
community properties and provides resources for volunteers and community service workers to maintain
municipally owned gardens and open space.

Urban Forest Management
Increasing stresses on the street and park trees from pests, climate change, and developmental pressures can minimize
the benets of the resource and create issues with tree loss, increased maintenance, and resident dissatisfaction.
Through urban forest management practices, the Division plans to decrease these issues.
Sidewalk Protection
The Shade Tree/Parks Division will work with homeowners and sidewalk contractors when defective sidewalk blocks are
replaced to manage conicts between tree roots and sidewalks.
Provide Greater Community Volunteer/Involvement for Tree Planting and Maintenance
The division plans to maximize opportunities for volunteers to assist with equipment and landscaping installation and
park maintenance in order to maintain community involvement and interest. The Ofce of Community Engagement
will also work with the Division to include student organizations, such as schools and fraternities, in the planting and
maintenance of trees and landscaping in their neighborhood to increase a sense of community and ownership.

Compost Operations
The Compost Operations Fund uses revenue acquired from the disposal of leaves from State College and the
Townships of State College, Ferguson Township, and Patton Township at the municipally-owned Composting Facility,
as well as revenues from the bulk and retail sale of processed wood products and compost. This includes the
collection and processing of food waste and mixed organics from State College residential properties, food waste
from a growing number of commercial customers and brush and wood waste from a variety of sources. Expenditures
pay for processing operations to compost leaves, grass clippings, and other organic material. This operation achieves
the Borough’s strategic goals by efciently processing organic materials to be sold as a recycled, value-added product
and diverts material from the landll-bound municipal solid waste stream.
Division Objectives
Recycling Grant
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection sponsored Act 101, Section 902 Recycling
Grants were approved in 2016 and in 2018 to fund the rst
phase of planned improvements to the pad at the
Composting Facility. Staff will continue to apply for grants
to make physical improvements and purchase
specialized equipment used for composting and wood
recycling operations.

Sanitary Sewer
The Sanitary Sewer Budget covers costs related to operation and maintenance of the Borough-owned sanitary sewer
system, including maintenance, capacity assessment, regulatory planning, engineering, annual cleaning, and
televising, mainline and lateral lining and replacement, and other costs associated with ongoing sanitary sewer
maintenance.
Division Objectives
Inltration/Inow (I&I) Reduction Plan
The Borough will continue to identify and reduce
extraneous ows via inltration and inow into the
system. Analyzing the ow meters to determine target
areas will help to pinpoint rehabilitation efforts.
Identication of Illegal Connections
The Borough will perform routine televising, conduct
smoke and dye testing of the system, and complete
basement surveys to identify illegal connections to the
sewer system that allow groundwater or rainwater to
enter the system.
Preventive Maintenance
Adding two new staff people to the Sewer Division will
provide the necessary support needed to properly clean
and televise sewer mains and laterals on a regular and
consistent basis. The additional staff will also reduce
overtime for after-hour callouts, minimize overall liability,
signicantly reduce the risk of basement backups and
potential overows, and provide engineering for the
necessary data to better plan future Capital
Improvements Projects.
Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS)
The addition of the Computerized Maintenance
Management System will enable staff to have better
control of maintenance activities across the entire sewer
system and bring the vast array of data associated with
various assets into one place, saving staff time and
improving overall efciency.

Refuse Collection
The Public Works Department collects and disposes of refuse, organic, brush, and bulk items in State College. After
collection, municipal solid waste is hauled to the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority where it is re-
compacted and hauled to a landll. Additionally, the Authority, on a contractual basis, provides curbside collection
and has bulk drop-off containers to collect and recycle glass, blow-molded plastics, newspapers, magazines, ofce
paper, and metal cans throughout the community.
Leaves, brush, and other organic materials are collected both in bulk and in organic carts by the Public Works crews
and hauled to the municipal-owned Composting Facility. It is then processed and reused as mulch and compost,
which is reected as a separate disposal cost in this budget.
The additional staff person in the 2023 budget will be a oating position between refuse and compost operations. The
additional manpower will help keep trucks operating when someone calls off and will also serve as an additional
operator for the Borough's growing compost operations.
Division Objectives
Increased Diversion
The process will increase the organics diverted from the
waste stream, with an ultimate goal of reducing residual
waste to 35% of the total residential waste stream,
through combined increases in the recycling of plastics,
metals, glass, paper, organic waste, electronics, and other
recyclable items.
Expand Organics Collection
By working with property owners to place additional
organics collection containers throughout residential and
commercial areas of State College and commercial areas
in the Centre Region, the Borough will encourage and
expand organics collections in the commercial sector.
Improve Tracking, Performance Metrics, and
Refuse Operations
Implementing recommendations from the Refuse
Services Evaluation and Rate Study will assist with
achieving operational efciencies resulting from the study
and improve data collection and logistics.

Fleet Services
The Fleet Services budget covers the cost of maintenance and repair of municipal vehicles and mobile equipment to
ensure that all municipal vehicles and equipment are maintained in a safe, prudent, and economical manner. All
vehicles and equipment will be evaluated annually to determine condition and evaluate the recommended
depreciation and replacement timeline. This area strives to meet the Borough’s strategic goals by evaluating the cost
of ownership, the efciency of operations, frequency and cost of repairs, and fuel type, cost, and emissions to the
environment. The team strives to anticipate needs by performing timely preventive maintenance to reduce
downtime due to unplanned repairs.
Division Objectives
Electric Vehicles and Charging Systems
Funds are allocated in 2023 to conduct a study to
determine what charging infrastructure is needed as the
Borough moves toward incorporating electric vehicles
into the eet. This aligns with both the short and long-
term budget priorities and the Borough's continued
commitment to long-term Sustainability goals.
Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS)
The addition of the CMMS will enable staff to have better
control of eet maintenance activities and schedule
preventive maintenance and inspections to reduce
unplanned maintenance costs.

Regional Programs
This section covers State College’s share of the cost of the Centre Region Council of Governments (COG) programs in
which the organization participates, as well as the local share of the Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) local
subsidy for operating and capital costs related to public transit.
Division Objectives
Determination of Regional Program
Commitment
The local share of the cost of the Centre Region Council of
Goverments (COG) programs is assessed on a formula
basis as specied in the Inter-Municipal Agreement for
each program. Most of these assessments are based on
the COG Standard Formula, in which a combination of
the assessed valuation of taxable real estate, population
(excluding college students) and adjusted gross earned
income is used to determine the municipal share of
budgeted program costs.
Detailed information concerning the activities, operation
and cost of each Centre Region COG program is
contained in the 2022 COG Budget and COG Program
Plan. More information is available on COG’s website
https://www.crcog.net/ (https://www.crcog.net/).

Centre Region Emergency Management
Overview
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Code (Title 35) requires each municipality to have an Emergency
Management Coordinator, an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). In
1990, State College, in conjunction with all of the Centre Region municipalities, created a regional Emergency
Management Program with a single coordinator through an agreement with Penn State University’s Ofce of
University Safety. Through this program, there is a designated Emergency Operations Center which provides for a
regional approach to emergency management.
State College also supports the Centre Region Emergency Management Contingency Fund, which provides a pool of
funds for the Centre Region Emergency Management Coordinator to use in responding to a declared emergency.
This Budget covers State College’s portion of the operating expenditures for the Emergency Management Program.
More information about this program can be found in the 2022 Centre Region Council of Governments (COG) Budget
and Program Plan.
Mission
The Centre Region Emergency Management Program is responsible for preparing the Borough of State College and
the Townships of College, Ferguson Township, Halfmoon Township, Harris Township, and Patton Township to be able
to respond to and recover from natural or technological disasters and acts of terrorism.
Division Objectives
The Centre Region Emergency Management Division
seeks to develop, maintain and update the Emergency
Operations Plan (EOP) for the Centre Region
municipalities. Public outreach efforts will also be
enhanced by the Division. To better prepare the
community for emergencies, the Division will also
identify, maintain, equip and staff Regional Emergency
Shelters. As well as provide training opportunities and
conduct exercises for staff and volunteers who may be
needed during emergencies

Centre Area Transportation Authority
Overview
The Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) is a joint municipal authority formed under the “Municipal
Authorities Act of 1945.” It was formed for the purpose of providing public transportation services within the
boundaries of its member municipalities: State College and the Townships of State College, Ferguson, Harris, and
Patton. Subsequent agreements with the Borough of Bellefonte and Spring, Benner and Halfmoon Townships have
allowed for service extensions to Bellefonte and Pleasant Gap. This Budget covers State College’s share of the cost of
the CATA local subsidy for operating and capital costs.
Mission
The mission of CATA is to deliver safe, reliable, accessible, and affordable transportation, provided in a courteous and
environmentally, scally, and socially responsible manner.
Division Objectives
The Centre Area Transportation Authority (CATA) will
develop holistic processes to meet the needs of a growing
community and the increasing demand for services in
the face of nancial and equipment challenges. This will
be done by using both internal and customer-focused
technologies to improve management, operations and
customer relations. CATA will also plan for succession by
preparing to replace skilled, trained, employees as they
move up through the organization or retire. By building
capital and operating reserves, CATA seeks to buffer
against funding uncertainties and programmatic
changes at the federal, state and local levels. Enhancing
the use of metrics by identifying and tracking
performance measures and other key indicators will
assist in management, planning, and operational
decisions.

Capital Improvements: One-year Plan
Each year, a ve-year Capital Improvement Plan (“Plan”) is developed and adopted by Council. This Plan includes an
assessment of the conditions of various infrastructure and other critical public assets. This assessment is relied upon to
develop a plan for the logical and systematic improvement of these critical assets.
The Plan is a collection of projects that meet the threshold of
scope and cost established for the Capital Budget.
Generally, the Plan includes only those items having
a value of $100,000 or higher and an estimated life of six years or
longer. Eligible items include the acquisition of property, purchase of new equipment (not covered by depreciation
previously set aside and funded by the Asset Replacement Fund), major rehabilitation or replacement of existing
facilities or new construction, and consulting fees for special one-time projects.
Each project is awarded points based upon a
scoring system based upon Council's goals and priorities which is
reviewed and conrmed each year prior to the development of the Plan. Each project is also assigned one of the three
prioritization categories (i.e. "Must Do", "Should Do", and "Could Do") based upon the nature and characteristics of the
project.

Debt Management
Overview
Under the Pennsylvania Local Government Unit Debt Act,
all borrowing by a municipality must be approved by the
Department of Community and Economic Development
(DCED) and all debt so incurred is charged against the
municipal debt limit. There are two types of debt:
Electoral – Electoral debt is debt incurred with the
approval of the voters at an election and it is not subject
to limits.
Non-electoral - Non-electoral debt is approved by Council
and carries a limit, which is dened by a formula based
on the average net revenues of the municipality over the
past three years. Average net revenues are multiplied by
250% to arrive at the non-electoral debt limit.
All State College’s long-term debts are non-electoral and
are classied as general obligations of State College.
The Local Government Unit Debt Act provides that
certain debt supported by revenue-producing facilities is
considered "self-liquidating" and may be excluded from
the debt limit with the approval of DCED. The Parking
Fund debt is considered to be self-liquidating. The
following summary demonstrates State College’s
remaining debt capacity.

Debt Policy
Before incurring new debt obligations, a full analysis of
existing debt, current, and projected cash ows and
proposed future debt is completed. In October 2008,
Council adopted a Debt Policy. The policy articulates the
philosophy regarding municipal debt and establishes a
framework to guide decisions regarding the use and
management of debt for capital and infrastructure
projects undertaken locally and regionally. The full policy
is contained in the Financial Policies section of the 2022
Budget.

Statement of Purpose
State College, as the Issuer, recognizes that it assumes post-issuance compliance responsibilities under federal tax law
whenever it issues tax-exempt bonds, notes or other obligations or enters into a tax-exempt lease (all of which are
referred to herein as "Obligations"), whether those Obligations are issued publicly or placed privately, as in a bank loan
transaction.
The Issuer also recognizes that it assumes, in a written undertaking signed on its behalf at the time of issuance of
Obligations (whether tax-exempt or taxable) sold in a public offering ("Publicly Offered Securities"), a post-issuance
responsibility to provide ongoing disclosure of material information in accordance with certain requirements of SEC

The Compliance Ofcer may identify additional ofcials or employees of the Issuer to assist him/her in implementing
these procedures. The Compliance Ofcer is also responsible for ensuring an adequate succession plan for transferring
post-issuance compliance responsibility when changes in stafng occur.
Post-Issuance Tax-Law Compliance Procedures (For Obligations)
Compliance Ofcer's Responsibilities:
When tax-exempt Obligations are issued, the Compliance Ofcer is responsible for the following:
. Closing Documents: Obtaining and storing a closing book, binder, CD or electronic copy of the closing documents
for the Obligations.
. Information Return: Conrming that the Issuer, or Bond Counsel or another party acting on behalf of the Issuer,

accountant, municipal nancial advisor or arbitrage rebate consultant to assist the Issuer in complying with
the arbitrage rebate requirements and to provide the Issuer with periodic reports of any arbitrage rebate
liability with respect to the Obligations. Preferably, such reports shall be annual, but such reports shall be not
less frequent than once every ve years unless the Obligations have been determined to be exempt from the
arbitrage rebate requirement.
b. Determining, in consultation with the retained professional and/or Bond Counsel, whether the Obligations
are eligible for any exemption from the arbitrage rebate requirement contained in the Internal Revenue
Code or applicable Treasury Regulations, such as the "small issuer" exemption or any of six-month
expenditure, 18-month expenditure or two-year construction expenditure exemptions.
c. Assuring that any arbitrage rebate liability is properly accounted for in the Issuer's books, records and annual

Street Resurfacing
Overview
Request Owner 	Sam Robbins, Director of Public Works
Est. Start Date 	01/02/2023
Est. Completion Date 	12/29/2023
Department 	Public Works Streets
Type 	Capital Improvement
Project Number 	ST002
Description
The Borough maintains approximately 48 miles of streets and 10 miles of alleys. An on-going maintenance program of crack sealing and
patching helps to extend the life of the pavement, on average, for 20-25 years. Actual life cycles vary between 20 and 30 years, depending
upon trafc volumes and the weight of vehicles using the roadway.
The total square yard of pavement for all Borough streets and alleys is approximately 860,000 and the total linear feet of concrete
curbing is 507,000. In the past year, paving costs have uctuated substantially, and the estimates which follow are based on 2021 costs
incurred plus a percentage for future adjustments.

Hi, Roger –
While a budget of $150,000 was proposed for the 2023 –Park Accessibility Improvements and Rehabilitation Project was originally
presented to the CDBG Citizens’ Advisory Committee in September as part of the 2023 CDBG Annual Action Plan, it was removed due to
discussions with the CDBG CAC, and due to agreement expressed during subsequent conversations with Public Works Department staff.
Please let me know if you need more background on the reason for this change.
