At the mid-month meeting of the Montrose Borough council, a short agenda was adopted. Topics discussed that evening included a hayride pub crawl, the funding of a curb, vicious dogs, and the reason why the zoning ordinance was not to be adopted that week.

Ms. Skinner requested clarification on who was paying for a curbing project on Wilson Street, discussed at a prior meeting. Mr. Lamont replied that as he understood it the borough was paying for the curbing, while the property owner was to pay for the drainage. Ms. Skinner said that she had missed the August meeting, where the residents had spoken. However, she thought that at the end of that meeting it was decided that Mr. DiPhillips would come back and present the cost of the project before council. The project had not been an agenda item at that meeting, and there had since been no formal presentation of cost, she contended. Paying for the curbing, she stated, was not in the minutes of the August 20th meeting in question, the matter was left with the street foreman’s price research. Mr. Reimel replied that he had approved the project that evening. Mr. Lamont asked those present if there had been any motion to approve the project, and it was responded by the secretary and Mr. Reimel that there had been such a motion.

In a surprise announcement at a special 2nd October meeting on the 23rd, the Harford Township Supervisors told their audience of 2 that long-time township road crew employee Wayne Frederici would be retiring, effective November 2. The two Supervisors present (Doug Phelps missed the meeting) accepted Mr. Frederici’s resignation with sincere regret.

There is some urgency in replacing Mr. Frederici, with winter coming on apace. The Township will advertise for applications for the full-time position, which will be accepted until November 9. They will try to interview applicants prior to making a decision at the regular November meeting on the 13th. Township Secretary Sue Furney said she already had some applications on file as well.
