Though school was over, the June 11th meeting of the Montrose school board was filled with students. The reasoning behind this was a list of good things, and students who were to be recognized for them.

Jacob Myers was named to All-State Chorus and All-Eastern Chorus, it was stated. This was his third year receiving the honor, but he was unable to attend the meeting due to a conflict.

The implication wasn’t emphasized, but when Supervisor Garry Foltz said “I don’t see the money to do this,” his colleague Doug Phelps could only respond, “rates are going to have to go up.” At that, the Supervisors, who double as the Harford Township Sewer System, agreed to an ordinance that will allow them to borrow $150,000 for renovations to the sewer plant, which is now almost 20 years old.

At their meeting on June 12th, the Supervisors also agreed to an ordinance to support a loan from Peoples Neighborhood Bank that refinances the remaining balance of just under $650,000 on the original note that paid for construction of the sewer system way back then. They also accepted and signed a commitment letter that was overlooked by the bank a couple months ago.
