Andrew Puhak who passed
away last week.
The usual business
reports were read by sec-
retary Joe Koval. Street
Labor for the month of
June was $3371.20 and total
bills were $12,529.32. They
were ordered to be paid.
Chairman Michael
Emershaw questioned the
$764 paid to Santarelli
Block Co. and Borough
Coordinator Michael
Simko explained that the
borough paid for the sand
which was used to cover
the chemical spills on the
corner of Diamond St. last
month. He also stated that

is expected to pay this
sum.

that they have heard noth-
ing as of yet from the

A 1982 Citizen Survey
could be ‘‘one of the best
things we did for our resi-
dents”, according to Mike
Simko, Swoyersville Bor-
ough Coordinator.
The survey, ‘conducted
through the mail, achieved
remarkable response from
the citizens as to localized
problems that residents
are more aware of than
local officials might be.
Since the survey was
conducted, the Borough
has received national
attention for the program
with inquiries being
reccived from Wisconsin,
New Mexico, Massachu-
settes, and Missouri
among others.
One aspect of the timing
of the survey was, which
in all liklihood is responsi-
ble for its success, is that
it was mailed with the tax
bills. The premise upon
which the timing was
based was, ‘‘what better
time to complain about a
neighborhood problem?’
As a result, sincere
expressions of concern
were received from a
large number of taxpayers
about July 18 with the first
one being North Lacka- |
wanna Avenue. 4
Chairman Emershaw |
gave a summation on what
has happened in Swoyers- &§
ville since the flood waters #4
of 1972. He said that coun- |
cil members, mayors,
planning commissions,
sewer authorities and |
zoning committees have {
worked hard and, with the
financial help from the
Federal Government,
Swoyersville is one of the
nicest and finest boroughs
around these parts.
The meeting was then
turned over to the audi-
ence and Frank Santee of
Simpson St., liaison officer
of the Taxpayers Associa-
tion of Swoyersville, stated
that the association is
returning and they asked
him to find out when they
could use the Municipal
Building for a meeting
place as they would like to
hold election of officers.
Emershaw told Santee
that Mr. Simko and he will §
get together and give the
association a date for their #8
proposed meeting.
Another resident, Mark
Nenicnka, asked council if
anything has been done
about the complaint he
brought before them two
months ago concerning the
properties located on
Hughes St. Hill. He said
these properties are a |
hazard and showed photos
to the council members.
Nenichka was told by
council that the situation |
has been looked into and |
the son has promised. to |
take over and repair the
property. He was told that |
it might take a little time |
but the work will be done. |
Also in attendance were
Mayor Anthony Stefan- Ho
osky, Sewer Authority rep-
resentative of the Wyo- .%
ming Valley Sewer ‘S88
Authority; John Adam- °
chak, Loretta Farris,
Swoyersville’s representa-

with few ‘‘crank’ reports
being received.
Among the problems
resolved were bus parking,
visual obstacles at inter- :
sections, localized storm °
runoff, missing street and =
traffic signs, inlet cover -
replacement, clean up of -
creek debris, paving of ©
Brook St. and Bohac St., =
demolitions of dilapidated
sheds and garages, alley
repair etc.
Many other problems”
resolved were that the
community’s street recon-
struction program contin-
ued as it will also continue
this year.
One of the problems that
the community cannot
resolve is the need for a
Spring or Fall Clean-Up.
“The landfill is still not
in a position to accommo-
date a large scale cleanup
of appliances, rugs, old
furniture etc.,”’ Simko
said. “This is somethng
beyond our control, but
I'm sure the Landfill
Authority will announce
such a clean-up when they
feel hey are capable of /
handling large articles.”
