Petroleum Traders Corporation receives payment for 6,001 gallons of gasoline, averaging approximately $3.80 per gallon.
Harris Blacktopping receives Payment Certificate #4 for work associated with the township's 2026 Road Program.
Wiesner Consulting LLC bills the township for 63.25 hours – that works out to $175 per hour – of finance consulting services performed in September 2026. Presumably this includes creation of the September 2026 Treasurer’s Report. At the 28 October 2026 BOS meeting there was a debate regarding the proposed $35,000 salary increase for the Assistant Manager to do this job.

What Should Residents Take Away?
1. Public Safety Dominates Spending
Police vehicles, body cameras, and employee health insurance represent major financial commitments. Equipment purchases and employee benefits are significant drivers of this particular Bills List.
2. Professional Services Add Up
Finance consulting, legal services, auditing, and other professional fees appear throughout the Bills List.
Residents may want to know how these expenses compare with budgeted amounts and previous years.
3. Road Maintenance Remains Important
The $15,402 road program payment is relatively modest compared with police vehicle purchases.
However, this Bills List represents only one payment period and does not establish the township's total annual road spending.
Bottom Line
The November 10 Bills List illustrates the competing financial demands facing Newtown Township: public safety equipment, employee benefits, infrastructure maintenance, professional services, and recreational programming.
With township taxes and spending priorities continuing to attract public attention, residents should examine not just individual purchases but how these expenditures fit into the township's overall budget and long-term financial commitments.
These internal transfers should not be added to the $460,084.99 in vendor payments as though they represent additional purchases.
The document's $683,146.22 fund-by-fund accounting total includes transfers and should not be confused with the vendor payment total.
