POTTER
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
BUDGET MEETING OF
A budget meeting of the
Potter Township Board of Supervisors was held on
Others attending were Mary
Briggs and Binky Lush.
The Board held an executive
session on personnel from
Chuck discussed the DEP
letter dated Sept. 10 regarding 50% reimbursement of Act 537 plan update implementing
the sewage management program & asked the Board if they want him to spend
time on collecting information for Brenda to submit. After discussion, they decided since Chuck has
his billing information separate he can provide that to Brenda. Jeff should pull off his time spent for the
program. Brenda should ask Bob Rayman
for his time for the program in relationship to his paid invoices so Brenda can
coordinate and provide DEP with cancelled checks appropriate to those invoices. Chuck told Brenda she should get the original
537 plan from the county since she cannot find it.
Binky Lush asked if there is
a way they could have the events in October that they approved a year ago. Jeff said Lush’s have applied for another
temporary 21-day permit. Binky asked if
there was any way to have more than one 21-day permit. Jeff checked and said zoning can issue
1-permit for 21-days maximum, but because the Board can grant a 2nd
permit, that takes Jeff out of the decision. Lush’s were in violation holding
an event Sept. 5th without a permit and by using water. Jake asked when they might be in
compliance. Binky understands that Jeff
Kreger has everything in process. Chuck
responded they are not in compliance with stormwater management, nor with a
land development plan, neither has the Planning Module been received yet by DEP
and he doesn’t believe their system will be approved yet this year. After discussion, Jake made a motion to approve
the new 21-day temporary permit they have applied for, effective October 2,
2009, seconded by Dick; VOTE: Jake, Dick & Tom voted aye, Bob and Ron
voted nay; vote carried. Mrs. Lush was told
this 21-day permit does not take them the whole way through October and they
will need to apply for another permit to allow for the final event October 31. They have no further events scheduled for this
year.
Mary Briggs presented
information to the Board on the Per Capita tax to help them make a decision on whether
to keep Per Capita tax & how to manage it or doing something else. We could
possibly double the $5 to $10 or maybe piggy back billing with the county. Tom will check with Bob Rayman on what amount
we can legally bill.
Tom and Jake signed the bank papers
to open the new checking account for farmland parks & recs.
