The program requires those member communities experiencing economic growth to share a portion of that growth with those communities that are less fortunate. This is accomplished through the Government Equity formula. Mike Barlow, finance director, has reviewed the County Office of Management and Budget's annual update and finds the numbers agree with the contract. This year's payment for Washington Township is $175,379.00. The ED /GE payment has been previously discussed with elected officials at a workshop. Since the payment is due on April 15th, the payment is included in the regular check register dated April 4, 2005. It was moved by Mrs. Young, seconded by Mr. Blair, that the Board authorizes the 2005 ED /GE payment to the Montgomery County Commissioners of $175,379.00.
