New Business

  • Bettelli - Andy Bettelli of 2174 Port Royal Road came before the Supervisors to request extension of his trailer permit. Mr. Bettelli resides in the trailer while performing remodeling work on the house he intends to move into in the near future. Koldjeski motioned to extend the permit another six months, 2nd by Martenson. Motion voted, all in favor.
  • CEO Report - Haan, along with the Supervisors, reviewed a letter from Sileo to Greg Pascale, attorney for Milwaukee Cycle. All agree with the contents of the letter and request Sileo forward it to Pascale. Haan reported that the Keller Bros. Subdivision was recommended for approval and believes it does need to go to LCRPC.
  • FEMA Resolution - Motion by Koldjeski to designate Francine Miller to act as the agent for the FEMA project for the November 16-17, 2007 disaster project, 2nd by Martenson. Motion voted, all in favor.
  • PA Invest - Letter received by PA Invest that the Township has been approved to deposit money in the invest program. After some discussion, it was decided that the Township will wait to receive the liquid fuels money in April.
  • Rec Committee Small Game of Chance - After review of the material from Sue Sherman and Joe Sileo, it was determined that the Committee cannot get the permit.
  • Rec Center - Supervisors reviewed the items sent by Sue Sherman in regards to the boiler replacement and items concerning the center’s accounts. Sherman requested the account journals be e-mailed each time something is done with the accounts. The journals cannot be e-mailed; therefore, Miller will continue to fax the journals.
  • Dieter letter - A letter was received via fax from Mark Dieter, engineer for Brier and Tomano requesting to submit unfinished plans for review. The Board requests that Ned Slocum send a letter stating that the developers need to follow the rules for subdivisions outlined in the subdivision book and cannot review plans until Pileggi’s plans are reviewed for the sewer treatment facility.
Bills were signed and discussed. Payroll and PO’s were signed.

Unfinished Business

  • Hidden Valley - Koldjeski explained a conversation he had with Sileo in regards to the maintenance bond for Hidden Valley. The Board will accept the irrevocable letter of credit that is already in place in lieu of a maintenance bond in order to get the road dedication moving.

Being no further discussion, meeting adjourned. Motion by Koldjeski to adjourn, 2nd by Martenson. Motion voted, all in favor.

Meeting adjourned 8:45PM

Respectfully submitted, Francine Miller
