Barely 10 minutes it took, and they didn’t even seem to be hiding anything. The Hallstead Borough Council meeting for March on the first day of Spring wasn’t a record for brevity, according to some witnesses, but it may have been close.

Council chair Michele Giangrieco kept asking Borough employee Jim Canfield if there had been any complaints, probably hoping to have something to discuss. Alas, the town is quiet as winter winds down.

One meeting this March wasn’t enough for Garry Foltz, chair of the Harford Township Supervisors. They met again on Tuesday, the 19th, beginning a half hour earlier than usual. There was no formal agenda. Mr. Foltz simply ticked off a list of items he wanted to talk about.

The Supervisors made a minor change in the new flood-plain ordinance requested by the county, and another one in the employee “time-off” policy. The latter was to insert the phrase “by the immediate supervisor or the Board” in the part that requires prior approval for time off. Mr. Foltz thought that without the new language just about anyone on the crew could give anyone else time off.
