PUBLIC COMMENT
\nMr. Sanchez, Jr. \u2013 wanted to know if a study was done on the sewer rates.\u00a0 Simchak stated the sewer rates being charged were too low for the surrounding area in order to qualify for a loan from Penn Vest.\u00a0\u00a0 Sanchez would be turning in his six keys after the meeting.\u00a0 He would like Ms. Conville to sign the sheet he has with the list of keys he is turning back to the township.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gerhard suggested that the passwords should be kept in the safe. Gilbert stated Ms. Conville is bonded for 2 million dollars and is in charge of the finances for the township. Gilbert asked Ms. Conville if she did a menu for the Russian Club on her computer about a month ago. Ms. Conville noted she did the flyer, but it was not on company time. It was done on her lunch hour.\u00a0 Gilbert asked our Solicitor if that was legal.\u00a0 Attorney Yurchak stated it shouldn\u2019t be on township time.<\/p>\n
Chairman Simchak adjourned the meeting at 1:50 o\u2019clock p.m.<\/p>\n
