Where many complain of weariness in the wake of day light saving time, the county commissioners seemed revitalized and spent 8 minutes on their agenda. In the blur of motions and seconds, general expenses swept over $297,000 from the countys coffers. Child and youth services received $71,280.86. Net payroll drew $155,263.14 in expenses. Retirement fund contributions needed $14,671.16 and slightly over $66,000 was applied for state and federal taxes.

Again maintaining a best and brightest approach 9 training seminar requests were approved. Gladly these would have a total expense of only $352.50 as numerous programs of this nature include funds from external sources. Children and youth services required new service agreements and both daikon adoption and foster care, as well as visionquest received approval with unanimous consent of the commissioners.

It doesn’t hurt to ask.

At the Harford Township Supervisors’ meeting on March 12th, chair Garry Foltz read from 2 letters from Francine Shea, Superintendent of the Mountain View School District, requesting support, financial and otherwise. The Supervisors were at a loss what to do with the “extremely vague” requests, ultimately suggesting another area-wide meeting with the Superintendent to clarify her intentions.

One of the requests seemed simple enough: she asked that municipalities in the school district put up signs commemorating the PIAA 2012 State Soccer Championship won by Mountain View High School. But where should the signs go? There are lots of roads leading into and out of Harford Township where such a sign could be posted. What are the neighboring communities doing, if anything?
