Chadds Ford Township residents should see their township
property taxes hold steady for 2010.

Supervisors voted at their Nov. 4 meeting to authorize for
public inspection the 2010 budget. They will vote on the budget following a hearing
on the spending bill at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 2.

Supervisor Garry Paul said that while revenue declined
during 2009, the township was able to reduce spending, resulting in a balanced
budget for next year with no township property tax increase. He added that the
2010 budget includes more money for roadwork–$120,000 as opposed to the $60,000
that was budgeted for 2009– and an additional $5,000 for the Brandywine
Battlefield Park.

Other business

The township is accepting applications from people wishing
to serve as committee volunteers for 2010. A total of six positions are open,
including three openings on the Open Space Committee and one position each on
the Planning Commission, Sewer Authority and HARB.

• Supervisor voted to approve the massage therapy business
application for Don Lim. Lim went through a conditional use hearing in
September. Investigation into his claims from his previous business in New York
revealed no adverse information.

Lim testified that he has been licensed as a massage
therapist in New York for nine years and will move into the community here if
the board approves his application.

The board granted conditional use approval, but that will be
revoked if a current Pennsylvania State Police investigation reveals anything
negative.

• Township resident Kristopher Walls was honored for
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Supervisors’ Vice Chairman Deborah Love
presented the Unionville High School senior a proclamation of achievement.
