Forest City Tax Increase The Forest City Regional Board of Education finally managed to stop the bleeding. After six or seven consecutive years of tax increases, some clever financial maneuvers by Business Manager Karen Forsette, will avoid a tax increase this year. The district’s $9 million budget passed unanimously and the total amount of tax millage needed to finance the budget remains at 161.6 mills. There are some changes in the tax millages of the six participating municipalities but not enough to make a noticeable difference in tax bills. The millage breakdown for the 2003-2004 school year are as follows with the 2002-2003 rate in parenthesis: Forest City, Herrick Twp., and Union Dale, 27.8 (27.9); Clinton II and Pleasant Mount, 191.6 (191.5); Vandling, 63.3 (62.8). With the state budget still not passed, Forsette said she could be left holding the ball holding the ball as far as predictions of what will happen to school appropriations. But she seemed relaxed and confident that her financial juggling may be good enough to ward off any tax increase unless state appropriations drop considerably lower than expectations. Forsette said she anticipates additional federal money and there is talk in Harrisburg about increasing appropriations for special education. She said there is also talk of making more money available for the reduction of classroom sizes. And she is keeping a watchful eye on the state’s annual allotment of $2.5 million to the district in basic education subsidy. Forsette cautioned the board about a state proposal that could restrict the amount of money in the district’s fund balance. Her recommendation that the district’s unreserved , undesignated fund balance in the general fund in the amount of $263,000 be designated, was approved by motion. Some of the money could be used to provide mandated benefits for retired teachers during the ages of 55 to 65. In another matter, by a 6-2 margin the board voted to contribute $1 for every student in the district to the Susquehanna County Library. Directors Joseph Farrell and Henry Nebzydoski opposed the motion. Farrell said he felt it was double taxation since people in his district (Vandling Borough) pay a library tax in Lackawanna County. Dr. Nebzydoski said he was not sure if the district has the legal right to take money from Wayne County taxpayers and appropriate it to the Susquehanna County Library. "How can you take money from three different counties and put it into one county?" Dr. Nebzydoski asked. He did not get an answer. "We are talking less than $1,000 here," said Director Fred Garm, who proposed the donation. Under questioning, the board said it was assured that the money given by the school district would be funneled back to the Forest City Library which is a part of the county’s library system. Motions approved by the board completed the following business: -Accepted the resignation of Vincent Cullen, part time maintenance worker, effective June 29, 2003. -Appointed Dr. Alan Orehek as school physician for the 2003-2004 school year at a rate of $14 per student physical exam. -Named Steve Durko, junior boys soccer coach and Chris Stahl, junior high soccer coach. -Appointed Chris Kuruts of Forest City as the Network system Electronics Technician effective July 7 at a starting salary of $30,000. Not enough members of the New Milford Borough Council were able to attend its regular monthly meeting on the eve of the Fourth of July to constitute the quorum that is necessary to make and vote on any motions. Nevertheless, there was considerable discussion among those who were there – Mary Ann Warren, Chris Allen, Teri Gulick, and secretary Amy Hine – as well as a few people in the audience. And some decisions that do not require a vote were made. Fittingly, July’s Good Neighbor Recognition was presented to the 109th Infantry Mechanized Armory that makes its home in the borough. On the evening before the nation’s birthday, Warren movingly cited its service to our country, and its help in various community events. "They are ours. They are here. And they help us in countless ways," said Warren. Accepting the certification on behalf of C Company, 1st Battalion was Jeff Hoal, who also thanked the community for its support. Hoal noted that those who serve from the building "are all local guys," and that the recognition would be displayed in the armory. COG codes enforcement officer Shane Lewis next gave his report on activities within the borough since council last met. This included following up on a 30-day extension granted to Bella Pizza for putting in a hand rail. The end of the period was coming up, and with not enough members able to vote on extending it or not, by inference, then, the business will probably have until council’s August meeting to comply. He also inspected a new business at 232 Main Street and reported that the building needs to become both registered through Labor and Industry and certified. He added that he saw some minor violations that he expected to be taken care of, and that an occupancy permit would depend on what Labor and Industry does. Lewis also will follow up on a couple of other issues, and address them at the next meeting. A Cobb Street resident asked those present what, if anything, could be done about drainage on the street. They way it drains brings a lot of silt that fills the entire gutter that runs along the street, resulting in a lot of dust and water running out of the gutter and across parking areas. Council will see that the gutter is cleaned out, and, once done, determine what can be done to see it doesn’t silt up again. And in the "this make no sense" category (and how not to be a considerate neighbor), Hine reported that a new homeowner in the borough who lives on the side of the street on which mail is not delivered, put up a mailbox across the street from the home. All well and good. Except that the mailbox was put up directly in front of the home across the street, whose residents maintain a post office box and not a mailbox. The homeowner with someone else’s mailbox smack-dab in front of her home asked that the box be moved towards the end of her property line and not in front of her house. Apparently, the mailbox owner said no (the not-so-considerate-neighbor part), and some heated discussion followed. Also apparently, post office representatives said that, once mail is delivered to a mailbox, the mailbox can’t be moved, even a few yards (the this-makes-no-sense part). Hine will suggest that the homeowner with the offending mailbox in front of her home see the magistrate about what might be done to redress the situation. This perplexing discussion was followed by some correspondence that Hine read. Resident Mike Gathany wrote about his daughter, Alexis Axtel, a member of the junior National Honor Society at Blue Ridge High School. Part of the condition of continuing this fine recognition during high school is performing community service. Alexis and her friend and fellow junior National Honor Society member Maria Fancher, would like to paint the pagoda in the park, supervised by an adult, if the borough would provide the paint and other supplies. This request was an easy one for council members to agree to. The last presentation at a gathering that was more discussion than meeting came from COG sewage enforcement officer Duane Wood. He recently visited three properties on Montrose Street, following up on complaints of sewage problems there. And he did see problems, particularly on one property where sewage is evident on top of the ground. With sewer hook-up probably a couple of years away and with a compliant remedy costing somewhere in the neighborhood of $25,000 and up, to a problem that will go away when hook-up occurs, Wood was there to ask council to approve a sub-standard (that is, not DEP-approved) fix to carry the property owner over until hook-up occurs. The fix is for the property to put in several drains that would act as a kind of leach field and which would cost him far less than 25 grand. However, with no quorum, Wood would have to wait until August’s council meeting for action on his request. In the meantime, he will suggest that the property owner throw some lime on the area that is offensive. As to the other two properties on Montrose Street, Wood reported that he believed the property owners are taking effective actions that will make "gray water" problems go away. The next regular meeting of the New Milford Borough Council is scheduled for August 7, 7 p.m. in the Borough Building on Main Street.

Gets Codes Grant State representative Sandra Major handed a big check – literally and figuratively – over to the Council of Governments on June 30. The $20,000 represents a Shared Municipal Service Program Code Enforcement Initiative Grant from the Commonwealth’s Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). According to Ted Plevinsky, president of COG’s Codes Enforcement Committee, "the grant will take us a long way towards getting us started on the new building codes inspection process." He added that it will help with training the personnel that will be required to enforce the new international building codes when they become effective (thought to be January, February 2004). Standing behind a check that COG will put to good use (l-r) are: Karen Trynoski, Codes secretary; Rick Ainey, vice president; Ted Plevinsky, president; Rep. Sandra Major; CEO Shane Lewis; and COG treasurer Bill Bayne. Codes secretary Karen Trynoski who, with the assistance of the Northern Tier Regional Planning and development Commission, worked diligently on behalf of the organization to obtain the grant, had a long list of what the grant will help do. She noted that it "assists our member municipalities and their taxpayers by supporting the salaries, insurance, office and field equipment, education and training, legal expenses, and other expenses involved in enforcing their building codes and the requirements of the state." Current Codes Enforcement Officer is Shane Lewis, and Eric Teichman was recently hired as an inspector on a one-year probationary basis. Ten county municipalities are currently members of Codes, with another four or five likely to come on board soon because of COG’s ready-made enforcement procedures and certified CEO. Trynoski noted that there are 40 municipalities within the county. With the advent of new building codes and regulations, the Codes Committee has recently been getting inquiries from townships in the southern part of the county. It makes sense, because by working as a group, Codes members can utilize economies of scale in professionally enforcing codes that are often not available to individual municipalities except at a greater cost. Codes recent grant will help it continue to pass along the benefits of its membership.
Enough of the Great Bend Borough Council members gathered for a July meeting on a sultry evening before the Independence Day holiday, but there wasn't a whole lot to do, so the meeting was brief, and took no official action. The major topic of interest was street lights, a number of which haven't been doing their job. According to Mike Wasko, 5 or 6 of the lights are out, and one of them is thought to have been off duty for as long as 12 years. The Borough pays the electric company some $500-$600 per month just for street lighting. Mr. Wasko proposed to withhold payment for lights that aren't functioning. Only recently had the Borough found someone at the electric company who promised that the lights would be replaced on receipt of a FAXed form identifying the delinquents. The new building housing the Mess fireworks store has been drawing a lot of traffic recently. Mr. Wasko expressed some concern that pedestrians and vehicles at the south end of town near the store were causing some congestion and a potentially dangerous situation, particularly to traffic coming over the bridge into town from the south. Mr. Wasko reported that he had called the State Police to monitor traffic coming from the north down Main Street, trying to avoid blockages on the nearby Interstate, now undergoing reconstruction. The Great Bend Borough Council meets on the first Thursday of each month, beginning at 7:00 p.m., at the Borough building at Elizabeth and Franklin Streets. Starrucca
